Some people on HFBoard seems to have a fixation on playing De La Rose as a def.

Still needs some time in the AHL

I didn't know BingoLady was a meteorologist.

Thought he would be horrible in his own end, it is not the case, he even did some backchecking.

He had a nice chance when he cut to the net in the third. He's going back down but I liked what I saw from him. He may not be a complete bust after all.

maybe. or maybe he just needs a few games to adjust.

He looks nervous, always afraid to create a turn over, he doesn't like to have the puck unless it's in the offensive zone.

Exactly. He's on the same learning curve as Mantha, who is doing fine with Detroit in his third pro year.

for sure, i agree. i'm just wondering if that will fade away once he gets used to the pace in the NHL. wouldn't mind seeing him stick for a few more games but in the end, he'll be back in the AHL when the injured guys start returning.

Well, as I much as I love to poop on Therrien I have to give him credit. The only thing good about this team is the defense. They keep winning with struggling goalies and an insanely depleted forward group that wasn't especially strong to begin with.

So, Montoya kinda sucks huh? Kinda goalie that makes you nervous when he's in net.

He's playing so far back in his crease. Also his positioning is weird; he's standing up almost ala old time goalkeeping. Wtf?
