So if a goaltender is in position, he is not obliged to, you know, make a save?
If you can name a guy who has saved every shot ever taken at him then I will concede your point. But until then I'll blame the Leafs' defense for the score tonight, not Scrivens' goaltending, maybe his puck handling, but that's a rookie mistake not a bad goaltending mistake.
When do people start saying it's the goaltender's fault. When their SV% is below .800? .700? I mean, honestly. 2/3 shots went in. The first he should've saved as he was in position but blew the save like Raycroft.
Secondly, he made an idiotic play and was screened due to a dumb play. Decent goaltending would have it at a 0-0 game.
If Phoenix had our goaltending we'd be up 4-0 by now.
Yup and if we had Dave Tippett as head coach we would be in first place right now
Seriously, no we wouldn't. Our goaltending is bad irrespective of defense right now. It's just bad.
I would argue that our coaching has been as bad, if not worse that our goaltending.
