You hear a lot more about what a coach is trying to implement though. They get hired, and they speak about what style they want to play. Throughout the season, you hear about adjustments being made (like Gulutzan dummying-down his system a bit). You hear how a coach works with the players (like Ferland's mission every night with his ice time to make 3 hits and get 3 shots on net).
When do you hear anything specific about the goaltenders with regards to what the goaltending coach is doing? That is why it is difficult to assess how competent they are. If there was more information available through the media like we see with the rest of the coaching staff, we could.
