Love Vitek but he really fizzled down the stretch last season and was atrocious in the playoffs. I really think Akira is the goalie of the future and should be our starter. He just needs the opportunity to play consistently.
I certainly do not agree that the 1A/1B dynamic is a fad, but you really can't have the 2/1 Vitek/Akira split that we have right now. If the trend currently set is applied on 82 games, Vitek would be playing in a whooping 54 games and Akira 28. It doesn't make sense when both goalies are putting up the same numbers. At least play them equally until someone gets hot, don't force shit.
I believe Schmid will be a top 10 goalie in the next 3 years. Would love to see him get more opportunities. Plus, I love Schmid for not knowing to sign the camera as "Star of the game" last season. Instead, he started signing autographs for fans. Full legend.
Where did you get your jacket from?
He deserves his playing time. Ruff sucks with young players not being Nico, Jack or Luke
Hell no Vitek all the way
A few mistakes in the playoffs & people act like Vitek didn’t get us to playoffs in how long? Schmid isn’t ready
Agreed 👍🏻
