00:00I mean, the game kind of looked like what my concerns might be about what they'll be this season, which
00:05is they weren't that bad.
00:07They out-chanced them. They out-shot them. They out-expected goals them, and the power play stunk and the
00:15goalie stunk.
00:16Those were our concerns, pretty much to a T, going into the year.
00:20Did the goalie stink?
00:22He allowed like three and a half goals above expected, I thought I saw.
00:26I saw that, but I also saw that how many goals were taken on shots or deflections from two feet
00:33away from him in the exact spot that all you want to do the entire game is not let people
00:37shoot from there.
00:38I'm not here to defend UPL. You know me. I don't even know if I defer to ever, but of
00:45the five, how many are there problems with?
00:52And I get it. You can give up five, and if there's a problem with one, that's still a problem.
00:56How many of the five are we worried about?
01:00I'm not necessarily worried about any one specifically of the five, but five is too big a number almost no
01:08matter what happens in the game,
01:10and there wasn't that much dangerous stuff in the game, and you've just got to make a save.
01:14He did stop a breakaway later to keep them alive.
01:17Great.
01:18He did.
01:18He stopped the point-blank one in the third.
01:20I would say really that none of the five also were so difficult that you're off the hook totally.
01:27Yes.
01:28To me, it's almost like none of them on their own for me are, oh my, I can't believe you
01:34let that in.
01:34And none of the five to me are, oh, you couldn't have stopped that, which to me means you should
01:39have saved two of them at least.
01:40And then it's a different, I mean, they're up if you stop two of those five, right?
01:44I don't need you to stop all of them.
01:45But, yeah, like, Sillinger scores from the first one.
01:48That's point-blank, and it's from between the face-off dots.
01:51But, all right, wrist shot from a guy who scored ten goals last year between the face-off dots.
01:56Like, you can save that.
01:57That's not impossible.
01:58It's not a backdoor tap-in.
02:01So, I think there's a middle ground with those goals.
02:05The reality of the job is that you need to give your team a chance to win, and he did
02:09not.
02:09They did not have a chance to win last night because he gave up five on very limited action.
02:15And to your point, Joe, it was not, none of them were egregious, but the collective total is egregious.
02:24And it lost them the hockey game.
02:25It sounds a little adjacent to, I'm not saying Justin Herbert's bad, but why isn't there more good here, right?
02:32Like, any individual throw I'm not mad at, but you should be scoring more than this many points.
02:36You should be winning more games in this.
02:38If you're good, you're good, and if you're not, you're not.
