So how much credit/blame should goalies get for their performance? How much credit/blame should the goalie coach get for the goalie's performance? Is Carey Price merely a product of MTL's amazing goalie coach or is Price actually a good goalie and it doesn't really matter who his coach is? Does the goalie coach have a controller and is literally controlling the goalie and making the saves or failing to?
I tend to think goalies are 95% or more responsible for their own performance. I don't really think a goalie coach makes as much of a difference as some fans seem to think it does.
I think blaming Sigalet for various goalies is scapegoating. It's like a fantasy that some fans hope is true. If our goalie coach is the problem, what an easy fix!
I think Hiller, Elliott and Ramo can shoulder the credit/blame for their own performances. I don't think goalie coaches should be shouldering any large credit or blame for a goalie. Guess a lot disagree.
