There's only one player on each team that is on the ice for the full sixty, or close to it. It's the nature of the beast. Sometimes it is on the goalie though.

I agree…
But again comes back to a key aspect of “in da mix” is evaluating the younger players, most of whom have never played in meaningful games at NHL level. Monty is one of those players under evaluation.
Dobes is cost controlled, he’s RFA for another few years, and a backup / tandem G at best, not a go to starter
Diekembe is UFA after 26-27 season - when is his peak market value? 2025 (this) summer after his first stretch drive & potentially playoffs? 2026 summer? 2027 deadline?

You're missing the forest for the trees. R E S T M O N T Y. The more he plays the more he sinks to Dobes level so there is no difference.
What part of diminishing returns are people not getting here?

You're looking at this from an ivory tower view, I'm looking at this from an in the trenches coaching view. Both can be correct.
I get it . . . but you’re barking up the wrong tree here. I ain’t MSL or HuGo, and they obviously see it differently (I don’t think this is MSL alone deciding).

All we have is a board to debate on, if you don't want to own an opinion then don't opine. Or do. Maybe.
Always gotta hedge it eh Krusty?

Sometimes it is, like the Islanders game. Not last night though.

There are levels to this, Monty was most certainly not good in the first period. Maybe not terrible but not good. Sure he was worse on the island but putting his team down caused them to get away from their game in the first. It's happened before.
There's no denying that Montembeault is much better when rested. Much.
No I don't, even Lalime on TVA said he was bad on the second

Yeah I’m not denying this either, i even said before the game that i would have started Dobes.
He wasn’t great in the first, but fuck we were getting caved in. At best we would have been down by a goal, at worst by 4. Down by 2 wasn’t a terrible outcome given how poorly we played.

Not really, Monty is 7th in the NHL in amount of shots faced.

Just because you agree with Lalime doesn't mean it is true.. the question you should be asking on the 2nd goal is why was Lindgren left all alone and come in and have a clear shot..
Habsy
Not playing around anymore.
Sure. He's not stopping them enough. I've posted the percentages.
Also notice the better goalies above him that face more shots.
Your just helping my argument in that Monty needs to play less games to be effective.
Habsy

Because Monty clearly needs the practice. Duh.
Isn't it the goalie's job to stop pucks?
legoalie
LeAdminie
no i am not, Monty is not as good as goalies 1 to 4.. but yet there he sits 7th in the league among shots faced..
legoalie
LeAdminie
isn't it the team's job to cover their man in the defensive zone?
He doesn't get a pass because 58 screwed up
