There’s a game tonight. No idea if Lindholm is ready to play with the B’s. Most of the hockey world is focused on the trade deadline so I haven’t seen any lineups from the morning skate.
3/21 - there’s a game in a little bit
- Thread starter TSC
- Start date
Yes, this is what I read shortly after the trade was made, too. Debut Thursday night.
I don't think goalies should ever do anything more than play the puck unless they absolutely have to, I certainly don't. You could be the best puck handler as a goalie in the league and you are still by far the worst on the ice
I don't know, a goaltender who can play the puck like Brodeur or Hextall provides a great advantage.
Fair, but they are very rare, and from what I remember it was them being really good at passing out of the zone to speed up an attack. I'm more thinking about touch passes with opponents in the area
The fact that I couldn't think of a current good puck-handling goalie supports this statement. LOL.
This got me curious about goalie point totals. Tom Barrasso leads all goalies in assists with 48, Brodeur with 45. From 1950 on, 11 goalies have scored goals, Brodeur is the only one with multiple goals, 2. The active leader in assists is Quick with 20, MA Fleury with 19
Whole sequence before the Anderson chance started with Carlo, puck on his stick and a chip off the glass available, turning against two forecheckers pressuring and deciding to skate behind his own net and eat the puck... never saw him making those types of decisions before Tom Wilson rang his bell the second time
Tom Barrasso -- there's a blast from the past. Seems like the Bs faced him 15 times a year. I would have guessed that Brodeur was the all-time points leader, never would have guessed Barrasso.
I mean, all Barrasso had to do was settle the puck for Mario or Jagr and they kind of did the rest (I also imagine there was a lot of secondary assists that went: Barrasso, Coffee, Jagr/Lemieux).
I realize there's no Bergeron tonight but jesus christ, they should not be losing to this Habs squad.
