PlusOne wrote on Thu, 18 November 2021 21:02 | 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.
|
I believe he was one of the Oil's esteemed netminders the first year they finished dead last in the league.
|
We had never finished dead last until 2009-10 when Khabibulin, Deslauriers and Dubnyk were our guys.
|
Gotcha- those years were all a blur to me with the awfulness we had to endure before 2015.
|
Same here, I didn't watch a pile of hockey from about 94-02. It had nothing to do with the quality on the ice though. Between the end of high school and my University years I was a lot less committed to catching Oiler games. The dead puck era did nothing to win me back.
After the 04-05 season was lost I came back to watching a lot.
Now being mid fourties, with a house full of kids and dogs, I am home on the couch watching games more than I was back then!
