NHL Rumors: Colorado Avalanche Want To Upgrade Their Goaltending
Frankie Corrado: Does the Tampa Bay Lightning placing up eight objectives in opposition to Colorado on Monday, like, does that form of expedite the method of perhaps searching for a goaltender if you happen to’re Colorado?
Dave Pagnotta: “They are saying, No. Is it posturing? I acquired to imagine it, as a result of it wasn’t simply the backup that acquired lit up. It was (Alexandar) Georgiev got here in and he acquired lit up too, after which they switched him again. So it was additionally a collective failure. I imply, yeah, it’s simply total, we’re not, it simply wasn’t their night time.
However I imply, it’s definitely, it’s a query mark. It’s an enormous query mark in that each their guys aren’t even within the prime 45 amongst goalies within the league proper now, in, save share in the direction of the underside in objectives in opposition to per sport. You take a look at the numbers, it simply doesn’t counsel that it’s strictly, a defensive challenge and is main the goalie out to dry.

That workforce was quite a bit deeper than the group they’ve acquired proper now.

So you possibly can offset sure components of your workforce, if different areas are that a lot, that significantly better, that rather more potent.

So, I do assume that McFarland and firm will take a look at the goaltending and the way they will pull one thing off.
And the plain suspect guys, I do know, I’m not the one one mentioning this others need to. In all probability you guys. John Gibson in Anaheim. If he can play constantly present that he’s totally wholesome and able to roll.
