Johnson had a weak glove. Gillies has trouble down low at the corner of the net - not really strong on the post. Smith tends to be too erratic in his movements, and is a bit slow across the crease. He plays a bit deep and relies on athleticism (which is probably not wise for an aging goalie).

On the other hand Sigalet doesn't really seem to be able to fix on a solution either. He doesn't seem to have a trademark style, like Allaire.
RE the bold type: Shouldn't the goalie coach A) recognize these, and B) work towards correcting them with the player?

Are you saying that the goalies are not listening/respecting/learning from the goalie coach? Then why have him?

This is where I think a former player would work best as the goalie coach.
