Positions in review - Goaltending

May 6, 2019 - 8:34 AM ET

A pair of good ones tonight as there could be two close out game tonight… until then… One of the time-honored traditions of the off season is to review the team, breaking it down by position and trying to determine what is needed to help them next season. We will do this as well… startin...

A couple of notes before we get to the break down of the blueline for 2018/19… first… congratulations to the St. Louis Blues on their double overtime win last night to take their series against the Dallas Stars… despite an amazing game from Stars netminder Ben Bishop. They await the winner...
