I’m happy with Koskinen this far. I’m still unhappy with Talbot. But until Koskinen gets a larger sample size, I’m not counting the decimal points in averages and save percentages.
As far as practice. A reporter can’t get an accurate “give a damn” gauge from pregame skates and practices alone. I had a buddy that played goalie in the league for 16 years. There’s a multitude of reaction/reflex drills. Cardio. Yoga. Film galore.
In my opinion, the only way a reporter would have an idea regarding the “give a damn” gauge, is if a player gave an opinion off the record. And he would be relying on word only. If more than one player goes off the record.....he’s likely on to something.
He’s looked visually better and I’m intrigued to see what may be in store.

A veteran reporter would have watched enough practices and enough struggling goaltenders to probably get an idea of who takes their craft seriously more than others. Goaltenders are human beings and individuals so there are different levels, but I'd say they might get a fairly accurate lay of the land.
I just question the benefit of reporting with this as the theme, while covering the team. If Talbot is on his game, he'll play...if not he'll sit. Hard to hide in a results oriented game. How he deals with improving in a contract year is up to him. Sink or swim.

Our "veteran reporter" core includes lazy Spector, lapdog Rishaug, past-his-prime Matheson and lazy/past-his-prime Jones...
Most of this "they work hard at practice mumbo jumbo comes from these guys. Do you trust ANY of their analysis?
|
I just don't think that innuendo on 'try' in looking at a goaltender's attempts at being better, is necessary in terms of reporting sports. They could be reading the tea leaves correctly, more so than someone not around the team and always watching, but I don't think this speculation is for the level of an NHL reporter...its more in the domain of the fan.
