UNDMOORHEAD Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'd like to see Tomek get some time. Matt will be gone next year and maybe Cam as well after two really good years. Get Tomek some games, it may come in handy next year if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Berry dressing him as 2nd goalie in Omaha is a step towards a game against Miami? Probably not, but who knows. I certainly think it is. Maybe not against Miami, but sometime. He's inching past Rinks, now. Gotta start somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think an away game would be better, way less pressure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk Miami swept SCSU, no ones gonna be easy but I'd rather he starts away from the Ralph. Many a UND goalie have said how hard it is to play at home. For a "rookie", I have to imagine that's amplified x100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the whole thing about how hard it is to play at home, but Tomek did play WJC's. I saw both his games there, but didn't pay attention to the crowd. I guess my point is he's played on a big stage already, so his nerves might be more calm? (Full disclosure: I have no idea if this is the case. I am merely playing devil's advocate ) I remember last year when we had to go to Hrynkiw and Stecher said after the season that before Hrynkiw's first game at the Ralph, the D-men had a meeting where the coaches told them "Do whatever you have to do to block everything going towards the net..." So maybe starting a different goalie will just motivate everyone to be better... You never know... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he lights it up this year, maybe the Capitals put some pressure on him. It would be interesting to see what the Capitals think of him. If he comes back for a third season and continues a really torrid pace. Just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Hammer was still the announcer last year, I'm pretty sure we saw at least 20 1 Ts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing to consider; How close is Cam to the consecutive starts streak? I don't think you see another goalie start until he owns the new record.

iluvdebbies Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 It will be interesting to see if Tomek continues to be listed as the #2....or if Matej and Matt rotate as the backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
