I think it might come across as me hating K.  I dont.    I just don't think he's good enough for this team.  He's far too slow.
His puck sight and recognition is very poor, his reaction times are worse and his side movement from one post to the other is slug like.
Sorry, but it is.

Our only other option right now is Lindy.  The equal and exact opposite.  Agile, athletic, a tad too exhubrant maybe....
Who would you put in net in a shoot out?

I need a bigger sample size in order to pass judgment.

You don't think Keumper is good enough for this team? The 2022 Capitals? That team?  :huh:

Which one of these threads am I supposed to whine about the goalies in?


Meh - Kuemper is decent but not a superstar.  He is good enough to get you some wins....but he can't do everything (like score - ahem....paging Mr Ovechkin....)
He and Lindy are definitely upgrades from last couple years failed experiment.   I said previously I don't think Kuemper is a super star but he is a decent goalie.  Good enough to be a team's #1.  He isn't the stand on your head kind of guy - he is a large position-style goalie, but he' got decent movement and decent hands.
He's had some bad bounces and some miscues, which is only amplified by the lack of D in front of him, but I'm not quitting on him yet.  I think he's okay.


Lindy is much more acrobatic and such, but he sure does seem to by lying on the ice a whole lot of the time.


As Alta said.....it's the team in front of them that is the problem.
FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK
