I think he cares, and he works hard, it's just that he's a little overzealous in his positioning and then can't scramble back like he used to. His style of play doesn't age well like the blocking goalies do.

I just going to call him out for what he is- horrible. You're right that he occasionally looks great but you can find any backup in this league that sometimes looks good. But I would take someone like Vladar in a heartbeat over him given equal salaries. They sent him to a shrink in Columbus so it's all probably mental with him. Just and incredibly frustrating goaltender to watch, inconsistent and shaky even on good nights.

People are probably going to throw a fit for me saying this but it doesn't help seeing Tkachuk borderline dominate the league while Huberdeau has been straight up awful, especially 5v5. Eight ES points in 23 games, only two goals and on pace for less than 15. At least on the PP he is producing now but I don't see much if any indication of him coming around 5v5.
