I was very happy when we signed him last year. I had rated him very highly. Unfortunately we did not have a chance to see much of him last year. This year , I found myself agreeing with Shepp Messing or whatever his name is, in that in some ways it is still unclear if he is a top goaltender.
I know that he has made some excellent saves, but he has also made some seemingly basic mistakes, the DC game was the last example. I think that I was speaking to Rooney, and I had to agree with him that on the penalty on which NYRB scored it seems he could have done better. So I am asking your opinion. I am just confused about him, on one hand the game saving saves, and on the other the rebound that costs us points. Also the fact that Carver did not start him in the first game seems to indicate that he is not the clear number one. On the other hand I do not think we would have had clean sheets without him. Are we overrating him, or will he prove his worth during the season?
Again I stil think he is our goaltender for now and the future, but I just wanted to see you views on this.
