Are you also suggesting that anyone here is considering Berra in the same league as Lundqvist? That would be asinine. Perhaps next you'll wonder ask why Baertschi should be given any slack when Crosby dominated in his first full season?

Well someone has said he will be a top 10 goalie which would put him in Lundqvist's league, but no I don't think that most would think he will ever be in that league. I just used Lundqvist because he is a well known Euro goalie that didn't have issues with the change in ice. I am not comparing the two players just one aspect of their game so not sure what the point of your Baertschi/Crosby rant is.
I am not sure that his problems are due to the size of the ice but I guess we will see. Sure the angles are different but net still same size/place and shots that are right at you still should be saved whether in Europe or NA.
