The 2013 WM goalie was off the charts good that year. And was so good that he walked on to Cornell. All from how well he played as a senior. I posted before that you Can be competitive with a bad goalie but you will never win championships without one. IMHO


Like was said earlier it takes time for a goalie to develop because being a goalie takes much more than being a good athlete. There is so much to being a goalie and unless you have played the position you will never know what it takes to be a goalie.
