I bet u guys think Patrick Roy sucked in the 93 season as well with his lousy 3.2 gaa and 89.4 sv%. Oh yeah..
We are lucky the team were that good since the goalie just sucked.
Could never win the cup with a goalie with those stats.
what Im trying to point out here is that the new rules have made it much more difficult to goalies and with our new offensive game we will leave much for Theo to pick up.
What ive noticed of our game so far is that we wait for the oponent to get into our zone (which very often lead to a scoring oportunity for them) and then we regain the puck and counter attack so fast that they almost never have the time to get back in defensive position.
There are being scored ALOT of more goals now then 2 years ago so dont expect the goalies to be under 2.5 gaa and 93 sv% anymore.
sure some goalies have started the season great but they will become human in time as well.
Theo is good, it wasnt his faulth we lost against the leafs.
