Well in that case, I feel so much better. 

Cool, but I wasn't trying to make you feel better; I was trying to be objective 🍺

Comrie still sucks. That is all.

Just to be clear, Aho would have scored that goal on many goaltenders considered not to suck.

Even after this stinker, UPL is still almost a full goal per game ahead of Levi and 3% points ahead on his save percentage.  The results are clear.  UPL has been the best option this year by a wide margin.  What the coaching staff needs to do is figure out how to weed out these occasional ***** shows.

All your odd what ifs up there, can't you reverse those same scenarios for every game Levi played?  He may very well have a bright future, but his numbers have been atrocious this season.  He is where he needs to be for now.

I don't think the sample size is nearly big enough that those stats have significant relevance. Goalie stats have too large a correlation to what team shows up (or doesn't) in front of them each night.

 

Just my opinion

Your sarcasm detector needs re-calibration.

You too ...

(insert winkie thingie here)

I can't be the only one around here who honestly thinks Levi gives us the best chance to win and should be brought back immediately...

Not sure about Levi.  He looks like he is always an injury waiting to happen.  All those contortions can't be great on a body and I think he tries to overcompensate for his lack of height.

I respect your opinion, but I'm not sure if this is an objective measure

Rough night for my boy 6K. Woof!!

Save % down to .905(24th), GAA down to 2.88 22nd).

6K is now 6-3-1 in games started. 

I'm not convinced Levi wouldn't have won all the games UPL won.

 

I'm also not convinced Levi couldn't have won some games that UPL lost.

 

I think our coaching staff is clueless about how to handle our goaltending situation

Is it too late to undo this ??

I'm assuming he can be brought back at any moment (someone who knows definitively: please weigh in), but optics/ego of the GM/coaching staff (whoever made the decision) may also play into it ... ❓

I honestly can’t believe this is a thing in a 6 goal game

people actually don’t understand goaltending or how differently they are treating other positions 

UPL has been bad. Other facets have been too. That’s it 

St. Louis Alamo here 

I'm not disputing that, but the "2 expected goals" seems like BS to me

I vaguely remember Granato saying they learned to play offense last season, they were going to learn to play defense this season. When does that start exactly?

And he's wearing that nose and glasses disguise, it has to be......

It's not going to happen, because their coaching staff can't teach them it

Advanced stats say 2.1 exGA. UPL let in 6.

I'm not a UPL defender (still think Levi should be our starter)...

 

...but which ones was he supposed to stop, according to fancy stats?

 

Genuinely curious

Looks like beer league out there

Where's Levi?

Don't jinx him posting these positive fancy stats

[The 6K discussion thread: Can he lead us to the playoffs? Keeping the crease warm for Levi?]

I missed tonight's game. Thrilled with the result. I still worry UPL might be fool's gold, but I'm also happy to be proven wrong. My $ is on Levi long-term having the most distinguished career, but goalies are funny creatures...

It’s dated, but according to this it should be down to 7 left (Kassian retired, right?)
