Many of you now have (or already had) a really good understanding of the numerous dynamics that come into play when analyzing a goaltender. With your continued rise in experience and games watched comes wisdom, which is why most of my discussion so far in this series has been about the different aspects that lie underneath the surface of what is normally exposed. But in order to bring closure to this series (on the heels of September’s arrival), the analysis now falls squarely on the exterior aspects of their game, otherwise known as the setting and atmosphere.

From 2002-2004, they dominated the Western Conference and the rest of the NHL on a nightly basis. All three are coming off disappointing seasons and are looking to rebound in new environments.

La Pire Équipe pour les Pools de Hockey?
J’encourage souvent les poolers à construire leurs alignements avec plusieurs joueurs de la même équipe – surtout ceux qui sont dans des ligues qui ont un élément de séries éliminatoires. En 2005 et 2006, je moussais les Penguins pour vous, croyant non seulement qu’ils allaient performer en séries année après année, mais ils ont aussi plusieurs jeunes vedettes qui vont accumuler des bonnes statistiques et qui vont hausser la valeur de beaucoup de leurs coéquipiers.

But please, before you cement him as your No.1 goalie of choice, take this week’s lesson into account as we dissect his game and evaluate his mental blueprint for the upcoming season.
