I don't want to take that away from this guy.
Breakaways, one-on-one individual saves.
You saw some rebounds there that were in front of him, that he's acrobatic.
He's got the highest level of skill and talent.
But...
Beware of the goalie that looks like a great goalie.
Do you guys remember the goal that was scored that was taken back, the Martinut goal?
He didn't even try for that rebound.
Did you notice that?
He didn't even try for it.
He determines when the puck leaves him whether he has a chance to get it or not.
And more oftentimes than not, he doesn't even try for it if he doesn't believe he's going to get it.
His battle and compete level is too low for me.
He doesn't go for it.
Guys, when guys...
that I'm coaching don't go for it after a save, and they just give it the fake stick wave.
The ole.
The ole.
That's a down and back.
