I'm not buying the "hot goaltender" stuff again... out of the 40+ shots they had on Vokoun tonight you barely need more than one hand to count the number of outstanding saves/quality chances they had.
being a goalie, I have had to make some spectacular saves that look real good, but the truth is I have made some normal saves that I was able to make look easy, even though they were hard. To me that is what a good/hot goaltender is all about. Though I do agree that just because one has a multitude of shots, doesn't mean that he is doing great.
Patrick Roy said "The best saves, are the ones where you are in position, if you make a sliding around save, it might look good, but in reality you are way out of postion. And that doesn't make you good!"
Agreed, being a hardcore hockey player myself I can say its all about positioning. Every save looks easy when its from 30' and the goalie has all the time in the world to square up to you. The truth of the matter is the wings just never moved the puck enough to catch Vokoun out of position.
The Wings bread and butter is precision passing and possesion. Neither of which I saw any of the last two games. They need more cross ice passes through the zone to catch the goalie out of possition.
