Who would have guessed it, throwing your goalie under the bus doesn't go over well with that goalie.

Quote:

"I thought we did a lot of things well tonight," Tippett told reporters on Monday. “Our goaltender wasn't very good, and we didn't find enough pucks at the net to get us back in the game. ... We haven't played as well as we'd like to as a group. There's lots to improve on.”

According to sports news outlet Yle Urheilu, Koskinen responded to the remarks by his head coach, saying "It's not nice being thrown under the bus. I have to be better but at the same time we scored seven goals in my last six losses. I can't score goals."


Now Tippett saying his remarks were taken out of context, and that he was only talking about the beginning of the game:

Quote:

TSN's Ryan Rishaug reported Wednesday that Tippett feels his remarks were taken out of context.

Should be noted that Tippett also said this about Koskinen:

Quote:

"It's a brutal mistake, what are you gonna do? Call it what it is. We're playing well, it's a brutal mistake," Tippett said.

Not really sure that the context of the time of the game matters too much when you say your goalie made a "brutal mistake", and "wasn't very good". And that's putting aside the fact that in the quote where Tippett says Koskinen wasn't very good it sure sounds like he's talking about the game as a whole and not just the start.

And maybe, and I'm not an NHL head coach so what do I know, have a conversation with your goalie about your comments instead of whining to the media about being taken out of context, because Koskinen sure didn't seem to understand the context.
