He was a little ahead of his time as now the lineup is full of players that play like him. Avoiding contact and playing soft was not ahead of its time. He was loaded with talent and it was obvious. That made it even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snova4 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 10 hours ago, siouxweet said: The goalie that started before Cam also had a tendency to let in awful goals from time to time. Time to time? Each series is more like it. He let in his softy, then usually shut it down. Except with .6 seconds to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference was the third string goalie/walkon was starting over a drafted goalie last year. ....and there was cries of "What is going on with Tomek?" And apparently something was as his time with UND was short lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's comical to defend a guy who just gave up 4 goals all weekend to DU. Sheesh. He's the better goalie, right now. Is Thome the better talent? Probably. But, right now, Cam is the best goaltender on our team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Thome should play from here on out, or that he's a huge upgrade from Johnson, but I also don't think that Johnson with his play this year (the guy has a .906 SV%) should automatically be the guy. Johnson played well this weekend and I'm all for starting him Friday against CC, but if he has a bad game and Thome plays well the next night, just don't automatically start Johnson after that. Edit: Play the best goalie, regardless of class, I'm just not convinced Johnson is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I haven't seen Schlossman advocating for a longer suspension for Cole Smith, or that the NCHC isn't doing their job protecting players. Does he believe that it is only in the NHL that it is a problem, or is it he doesn't want to bite the hands that feed him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Thome, but he gets out of position a little bit too much for my liking. I'm absolutely 100% on board with the idea of not HAVING to start Cam. I think his play hasn't been fantastic and that earns Thome some starts. But, I do think Cam is better at the moment and I do think his experience is an important piece. Bubbs trusts Cam.

He recovered nicely after that bad goal against, I was sure that would destroy his confidence but he was resilient and was solid for the remainder of the game. Thome will continue to get better as he has a lot of natural talent but he got exposed @ Denver, overplaying passes and leaving the net 100% open a few times. If it's a player getting a straight up shot on net I'd give Thome they edge right now but any sort of cross ice pass or fake shot Cam is a much better goalie right now. DISCLAIMER: This opinion is based on 5+ years of being a shutdown knee hockey goalie in my former years as well as 20+ years of coaching college and NHL goalies...from my couch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam gave up FOUR GOALS ALL WEEKEND against a brutal team that returned basically everyone from a national championship team? He's lucky to be the goalie for the Delta Tau Delta intramural team let alone the Fighting Hawks! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
