6K never cried in front of reporters after giving up 7 goals in a game

so there is that

side note
if Miller was a Euro, he never would have been overhyped

US born players will always get a few more points. Case in point, John Gibson is still considered a good goalie. He hasn't been good since like 2017.

Really, UPL started 27 games this year he had over a .920 save Percentage, could throw in about 15 more that were above .900. I don't think you actually watch the games.

I do and I see the leaks in his game. He hasn’t fixed them.

He was 0-6 in games that would’ve gotten us within 4 points of a playoff spot.

Big games down the stretch he lost and numerous times he let in Swiss cheese goals.

I have a buddy who was a huge upl fan and even a few days ago admitted UPL let us down the stretch with a soft goals against.

It also helps when you attend games and see it in person.

This is the worst take running the last x amount of years


The guys played 40+ games since he was 23. Been on the worst defensive team and one of the worst teams PERIOD going back to 2019.

His numbers took a dip when the whole team went to sh!t.

He hasn't had a quality start percentage above 50% in 6 years. In 46 games, he didn't get a single shut out. And his goals saved above average was an abysmal -21.2. He's part of the reason they aren't very good.

Edit: Remember Dirty, I am the goalie whisperer. You should just take everything I say as gospel and just move forward in an enlightened state.

Sooo when his team was good last? They've been bottom 5 in Differential 4 times the last 5 years. bottom 3 twice. The team is BAD. I wouldn't expect any goalie to put up any real type of numbers there.

The only gospel I take is the Satanic kind.

Elliot curiously gives a massive poop about this. I can tell you from personal experience that it's definitely not hard to find the best candidate in a matter of six days from a pool of, in reality, what, five choices?

Pro optics, Lindy is actually a good coach that fills the needs of this roster

Cons optics, "but Terry likes him so of course"

Doesn't (frank)ing matter if Terry likes him.
Win.

It does matter, it's the same thing they've done everytime. I hope it works

I get where you're coming from, bad teams make it harder on goalies. But that's also why QS%, shutouts and GSAA are important barometers. Petr Mrazek went 18-31-4 on the lowly Blackhawks this year while still being +6.6 in GSAA, a +50QS% and actually pulled off a shutout. I don't think Mrazek is very good either, about average, but you can't even compare those two and not find Gibson lacking to some extent.

And that's fair. Satan for President 2024. Stripes as VP.

Yes because that was all his Fault, funny he had over a .910 Save percentage in 3 of them. Maybe they should have scored some goals.

Not if your sitting in row z of the 300's lol.

He let in soft goals not doubt. He also stopped a ton and was in the top of the NHL for a decent portion of the season... The rest of the team normally come out weak in the 1st period, then left before the end of the 3rd...I wonder if that impacted his game as well? Do you think so?

Listen to Peters talk about the texts he got from other former NHL players when they hired Ruff.

These guys know its still run by Pegula and no one likes the way Eichel was handled.

Hiring Ruff reaffirms Terry remains in control, that will repel talent until he goes back to his yacht...and stays there

- washedup20


Peters is a no talent hack. Why would you even listen to the drivel he spews? Eichel contributed.

When you pay goalies the big bucks. They need to win you some games.

Ryan miller would win games we have no business winning.

Heck Levi has shown that already as well
