2021 Vtek or Sammy
Chaos43:
Vanecek has a better GA as Save percentage. Samsonov numbers are a bit inflated because of the blowout against the Islanders. Sammy has a better winning percentage by quite a margin.
In recent games I feel that Sammy has had tougher games than Vanecek. Vanecek has very recently played the worst team in the league twice and didn't fair very well.
alta:
that last game was not Vteks fault
Mickstix:
Yea, my only beef with VV is he rarely stops stuff that he shouldn't. Like in the robbery department. I know it's asking a lot, but seems like todays top goalies have that robbery ability. He seems very sound otherwise and hopefully can step into the elite category at some point. Sammy isn't there yet either, but he's who I'd start game 1 of the playoffs, if I had to make a decision today.

I'm not blaming Vitek but like Mixstick said he makes the saves he is supposed to make.
But I can't believe that you guys can't see how small he plays in goal. He doesn't come out to cut down angles and goes down way too early. And when he is down in the butterfly he leaves alot of room upstairs.
Sammy plays alot bigger and is more athletic. He just needs to calm down and stop moving around so much.

You clearly just blamed him for those two loses. But then you agree that second one wasn't his fault?
I'm curios, is there anyone in your life that is allowed to have a different opinion than yours?
