2) We consistently see similar problems, being: a) a propensity to play too deep in the crease
b) a propensity to 'lunge'
c) the weird positioning of the glove hand Again, I'm no goalie coach, but these things bug the crap out of me. And there hasn't been enough success from the goalies for me to forgive and ignore these annoyances.
I am in no position to say: fire Sigalet. But the evidence as I see it is far from favourable, and I sure as hell have seen no reason to argue against the idea. |
This is pretty much me.
He may be the problem, but I can't fathom how people with zero access know he's the problem.
And the goalies that have come through here have not been all that stellar and have gone on to be even less stellar after being here.
The lunging thing ... I heard Kelly Hrudey talking on the radio about how Sigalet was working with Smith to keep him tall in the net when pucks are near. Seems like he wasn't advocating the lunge he was trying to eradicate it.
