Mark F Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 ken dryden article about nhl goalie problem https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2021/02/hockey-goalies-are-too-big-now/618021/ This story is not about any particular goalie, but about the position itself and how it increasingly dominates the way hockey is played, and not for the right reasons. This story is about goalies and their equipment, and about how they’ve learned to use it. It is a story that has evolved very slowly, almost without change or notice for hockey’s first 100 years, then, since the 1980s, in actions initiated by goalies mostly, and counteractions by NHL regulators, players, and coaches, until today’s state of near-acceptance and resignation.

Good kid, but I just don’t think he’s an NHL goalie. I was just kidding. I joked that when he was claimed that he would be back in a few weeks. No, he's an AHL goalie but a good team player. Would be nice to have for the taxi squad this year but not really necessary. Edited February 17, 2021 by JCon BomberBall 1

HardCoreBlue Posted February 18, 2021 Report Posted February 18, 2021 As much as I really hate the Leafs, just watching them play the Sens before the Jet game starts, I really like their aggressive PK, especially the high guy who is always on the puck carrier. That’s how you scheme a pk unit imo.

I'll use the goto default coach response to counter when challenged on what is liked: 'We have the right schemes in place, putting the players in the appropriate positions to be successful, we're just not getting full execution'.

blue_gold_84 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 Assistant coach Muller has also been fired.

HardCoreBlue Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 Montreal charges out of the gate, slows down and now sputtering. Coaches get fired. Ruthless business.
Goalie Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 3 hours ago, FrostyWinnipeg said: Well you usually win your first game after firing the coach so guess we can write off Thursday. This isn't true at all. Ironically the last time the Habs fired a coach they played the Jets next and lost 3 1. What do you think? They brought in some new guy? They promoted an assistant.. Montreal is overrated. They were actually 24th overall last season and then went on some unsustainable run that is now ending because reality is... Montreal just isn't that good.

Montreal's talent recruiting pool is limited to only French Canadian coaches, and there aren't a whole lot of them with NHL coaching experience. So who are they going to recycle this time? What's Claude Noel doing these days lol... JCon 1
