Not where I was going at all. I just want more than one guy.you know depth! I think I mentionedCam makes some amazing saves, but some of his success can be attributed to his defense too. My point was,sometime a change in goal makes your DEF play different. Not saying it is all on the goalie. Quote

I'm sure we do - we have some solid players here too - we need the next Schmaltz, Boesser, Toews, Oshie, Frattin, Parise - well you get the idea. Or a couple of them. We seem to have had a couple year drought on top talent. Time to up our recruiting game. Quote

I like Cam, but we need some competitive goaltending. Cam will make a few spectacular saves, then let in some questionable ones. Not that I think Thome is necessarily better, but sometime the guy in goal changes the mindset of the defense. Thome is a big sack of potatoes compared to Cam. The day Cam leaves, is the day UND lacks a competent goaltender. 2 Quote

The slide off of the PK was initially attributed to his absence, but it’s been even worse since he got back. And Gardner’s injury makes things worse there too. Agreed. Definitely lost a step, but couldn’t get his foot in a skate boot for a few weeks it was so bad. I think it may be a few weeks until he is 100 percent. Quote

cberkas Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 As Jackie Moon would say "4th place, 4th place, 4th place." One thing that could be done is not forcing plays. They had the opportunity to win the game if they played the 2nd like the 3rd. Quote

The defense accentuated his talent. I am and always have been a Cam fan. A periodic change in goaltenders also changes the menatality of your defense sometimes. If anything my criticism is the defense needs to limit opportunities. Quote

Posts like this are so frustrating, what are you talking about? Where did he say Cam has done nothing? He was great his Sophomore year, but we aren’t talking about that. He’s been mediocre his last two years, numbers don’t lie. Quote

Cam is not necessarily the issue, BUT sometimes a change in goalie will also change the approach of the defense. That’s not always a bad thing. Quote

My bad @siouxfan512, my post was more of a generalized reply to Mafia’s, not a response to you. I just remember people make comments in the past that Cam was only good that year because of the defense. Especially last season when people were clamoring to see Tomek. Quote
siouxfan512 Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Way to much black and white here. You CAN say that we should have goalies split time (when healthy) WITHOUT it meaning that Cam is a direct problem. He is not. Cam is good. But teams play different in front of different goalies. I think this team get a little to complacent in front of Cam. May splitting some time make them stay on their game? 1 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 First loss on the year where we scored more than 2? Quote

crb1 Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Cam is a good goalie and he did help us win a NC, I will forever be thankful to him for that, and sure he gives up some soft goals but we have said that with a lot of our past goalies from J. Parise to Dell and Eidsness and even Zane .06. So don’t be too hard on Cam more chances then not he will make the play. Quote
