So the entire controversy is about Goalie coach Murray.
I would presume that the goalies were consulted about him before the decision was made, since both are signed to multiyear contracts.
Maybe management and the goalies felt as though defensive injuries, tradouts, and incorporation of new young defensemen were more of an explanation for any defensive shortcomings than the goalies themselves, or their coaching? I dunno.
Yeah. I don't get that at all.
After Lavi, I would have expected the goalie coach to be the very next person to be fired. In fact the only coach I would have retained would have been our PK coach. I thought our PK was actually pretty good. Maybe it just looked good in comparison, 'cos everything else was so incredibly crap.
All of the injuries, particularly at the beginning of the season, absolutely had an effect, but that does not explain or excuse all the softies our goalies have let in. The 2 to 3 minutes at the start of games and the last minute ones at the end. So often that we actually joked about it!
I don't think either goalie is NHL calibre and tbh, I'm not sure they'd survive Hershey and the AHL as they are now.
Both of them had a few really great games and showed what they COULD do. For some reason they chose not to do it for the majority of the season. Kuemper has a Cup for crying out loud!
Apart from the few good games he had, K has been really slow in his responses and didn't seem to know where the puck was a LOT of the time.
( That's a Ray Charles/ Stevie Wonder emote. Certainly not cool)
There is something very, very wrong with his eyesight and focus. You expect a certain level of play from a Stanley Cup winner, don't you?
Lindy is just ..... irrational....... Athletic, cat-like even, but temperamental. He reminds me a tad of Holtby, before Mitch Korn ..........
Both of these goalies could be really good. IF they had the right coaching and motivation.
Murrey seems to be to our goalies what HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED was to our team. Take something promising and fuck it up the arse untill there is no fight left. No fight, no self respect, no hope.
Whatever Murrey is doing, it isn't working and it isn't just a personality clash, is it! Two polar opposite types. He can't find common ground with either of them.
Ted isn't stupid, so I have to wonder why this clown is still here.
Is Ted still in control?
