I agree.
I agree.
Now, that game one was just amazing, wasn't it?
Just the swings, the third periods, one of the better third periods I've ever seen.
What I see with him is just a young goalie.
Now, he's had the results, and this is where people are going to come after me on Twitter.
That's okay.
But he moves too much.
NHL goalies that are the top guys, they move less, and they move less distance.
When traffic comes to the net, watch UPL, he'll shrink back into his net and think that he's creating more time to be reactionary.
And it's a very forgiving sport when you give your net back.
Unforgiving, I should say.
And what I've seen from him is there's just too much movement when it's not necessary.
The goals against are usually chasing out of the post.
And his stance can get too low for a guy that's 6'4".
He gets very low and wide.
I don't see him having the same success...
that a top goalie would need and is required to play with to get through this thing.
Could he get through Boston?
Maybe.
