There's no positive to come from it, and when dealing with a goalie that has clear issues with confidence... it can only hurt.

While I agree for the most part when it comes to a soft goal. But last nights debacle is inexcusable. He was battling with an opposing forward BEHIND the net for over 6 full seconds. Hanifin was already there, what is the thought process of how NOT going back to the net is the better choice? I can overlook the odd give away from a bad pass when the goalies play the puck (ie Rittich in the San Jose game, Smith vs Anaheim) but leaving the net to muck it up with an opposing forward behind the net was just plain asinine.
