Perhaps I'm being a little harsh on him, but he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt just yet. Letting in the goal with less than a minute in the game when the team really needed the win makes that goal hard to stomach. I felt it was stoppable for the reasons I mentioned (not square to the shooter, way too deep in his net for a point shot). He wasn't tested much in regulation, but he did come up big in OT which is why I said he was forgiven. I still think he was good overall, I just question his approach to playing goal at times, and I think it costs the team goals they shouldn't necessarily give up.
A step in the right direction, but he still needs to clean up his game some.
