I know it was only his first game, but I thought his rebound control was very Kipper-esque.

Not much point in arguing why you saw things differently than I did, but I saw some rebounds which I think the top guys would have kicked into the corners. Plus you can hold a puck that comes in low, it's just harder.
But don't take "adequate" as a knock on the guy, I use the term in relation to other NHL goalies, which is a high standard.
