As we saw on Friday, the fans are not the only ones concerned about Cam's soft goals. Maybe Thome is the better goalie and maybe he isn't but he sure is the hotter of the two... Add to the fact that when Thome starts we see a better overall team in front of him for whatever reason. I think we will really find out what this team is made out of in Omaha. Just win! 1 Quote

He's all over the place. There is a reason Cam gets the call most nights. Expand Good point. I noticed it Saturday night too. Bad bad rebounds. However he hasn’t played much recently. But you’re right. The thing is though, the team played with a great sense of urgency when he was in there. Not sure how long it can last but Bubs may want to keep it going another game. 1 Quote

Oxbow6 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Goaltender dilemma.......... 1) Proven Natty winning goalie that isn't play particularly well with a team in front of him that can't score and has effort/consistency issues. 2) Unproven night in and night out goalie who from the eyeball test has a few obvious flaws but the team in front of him plays better/harder and scores the puck. Right now you go with option #2. Quote

Right now you go with option #2. Expand That is pretty much exactly the situation. Cam is a better goalie, but with the softies and struggles he has had this year you almost force the head coach's hand. Cam will very likely get another shot, but IMHO it's Thome's net until he loses it. Quote

A loss is too costly in pairwise, especially at Miami. Quote
UND1981 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 On the offensive side, we need Mismash to play with heart and grit (like Zach Parise), top line to produce like Sat night and for Gardner to stay out of the damn penalty box. We need the freshman class to contribute offensively and MM is best equipped to do it. 1 Quote
