Lowry not pulling Blackwood after goal 3 or FOR SURE #4 was mind boggling. The finns had so much momentum, the ice was so tilted, we were on our heels....call the freaking time out and change the goalie FFS!

Exactly. But instead he just kept on keeping on. Same players, no changes not even a timeout. Nothing.
I was starting to wonder if it was a cardboard cutout of Dave Lowry behind the bench.
Like, I get that Hicketts, Virtanen and Blackwood were 'his guys' and even if we concede that Blackwood is the superior goalie sometimes you still have to make changes to affect momentum and whatever the case was Blackwood wasnt on it today at all. Shaky, fighting the puck.
But over the whole camp it was made painfully obvious that Blackwood was the man so nobody had any faith in any of the other goaltenders and the goaltenders didnt play all that well because why should they, its obviously Blackwood's net they're just there to make up the numbers.
