What I like best is I still think his nerves are causing a lot of the bobbled plays, hesitation, over committing, second guessing, etc. He's had very little NHL experience in net before this stint, let alone starting in consecutive games with no Kipper "safety net" there to relieve him if he falters. Not to mention it's early in the season when everyone is still in the hunt for playoffs so every game is a big one. But we're finding a way to win with him in net and nerves are easy to fix the more time he gets in net.
The athleticism is certainly there as he's made some outstanding saves since he took over for Kipper. I like that the team continues to roll with him. No reason not to at this point.
