Solid But Not Perfect
One of the main questions that many hockey pundits had for the Carolina hurricanes coming into the season was whether their goaltending would be consistent enough to win.
So far the goalie tandem of Petr Mrazek and James Reimer have rose to the challenge. Both are proving to be more reliable than many of thought previously.
Petr Mrazek ,coming off a fantastic postseason and a new contract, has so far proven why he is Carolina’s number one goaltender with a 5-1-0 record including a shutout vs the LA Kings, a shootout win vs Montreal in the season opener, and OT win vs Tampa Bay with his former teammate Curtis McElhinney in the opposing net.
His one lone bad game was against the Ducks, where he was yanked after giving up 4 goals in quick fashion. Otherwise he was looked pretty well.
Many people discussed who was going to be the back up for Peter Mrazek this season, and after winning the job, Reimer is performing well with wins at both Washington and Florida.
Just bought these for goalies continue to perform to their potential, look out the Hurricanes good have a dangerous goalie tandem.
