Okay, when did I say DiPietro isn’t a good goaltender?
Oh, that’s right. I didn’t.
I simply said he isn’t as amazing as some of you make him out to be. He’s solid, but he is in no way a goaltending god.
The Islanders have played solid defensively by clogging up the middle and that has cut down on one-timers and they haven’t gotten DiPietro moving side to side. Majority of his saves have been direct shots that he has had a clear line of sight to.
I respect DiPietro as a 'tender, but some of you guys need to get off his sack. He’s certainly no Brodeur or Roy (as I’ve heard some try to say).
All that behind us now, I need to see a 60 minute effort from the Sabres tomorrow nite before I’m willing to feel comfortable. The first half of last nights game was completely unacceptable.
My comment on Spacek last nite…
He’s making $3,225,000 this year. His play has NOT been up to par with that amount. He needs to start becoming an impact player in the playoffs.
