I skip intermissions most of the time but tuned in at the end of this one. I saw Gene and Bob talking with a third guy about goalies. Who was he?
I ask as he was talking about head tracking and was surprised. This almost never gets talked about and it is a huge part of goaltending.
I never played the position in hockey but soccer keeper for a long time. My goalie coach talked head tracking every single training session. At half time he would bring it up almost every game.

I noticed in the first how much better it looked like Skinner was tracking the puck VS both Smith/Kostko. Skinner looks very in control most of the time.


*ETA, they just called him "Gager, the goalie whisperer". Am I the only one who doesn't know this mystery man?


Joaquin Gage, I believe. Another of the ten best goalies ever drafted by Edmonton!


I will out myself as a low tier fan and admit I had to google him.



Gage and Brathwaite backed up Billy Ranford & Curtis Joseph in the mid-90s here. A couple years in a row, the starter got hurt late in the season and the two of them dropped the ball entirely, cratering the team's chances of playoffs. That would lead the Oilers to pick up Essensa for the back-up for 1996-97 and to give up on both of them.
