Wedgewood was great in the last series, but this series seems like the first time they've come up against NHL calibre goaltending.

Weird seeing Kolzig there, retirement seems to suit him.

Was pretty funny hearing him talk about the trade.

He retired a Leaf!

 

[Deebo]

Oh dear.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I just checked Bibeau's contract status. Can't believe we have to keep him for another season.

 

[Tigger]

Good grief. I have to get up at 4 am, looks like I'm off to bed, hopefully they come back.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

This is embarrassing.

What's a goalie

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I've changed my draft philosophy from drafting 3 goalies to... how many picks do we have again? Yeah, that many minus Matthews.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Is this how the Knights and Marner make other teams feel? Because it's awful.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

7-2. They've scored 4 goals in like 3 minutes it feels. The goaltending has been awful but they've clearly checked out.

I would imagine the other teams are more frustrated that the Marner line has the puck the whole game.  This nonsense where the Marlies goalies just give up a goal every 3rd shot isn't so much about the team getting outplayed.

Can they give Kaskisuo game 4?

Sparks might have played himself out of a job right here and Bibeau should be in the ECHL based on what he's done this series.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

What's Alex Stalock up to?

 

[L K]

888 SV% for the Marlies goalies in the postseason.

 

[bustaheims]

So, why take goalies earlier in the draft, and spend time and resources and developing them? Well, otherwise, you end up these guys as your backup goalies and injury insurance.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

8-2

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I'm beginning to think Sparks isn't the answer either.
