“That said, he kinda lost his net on both the Cammalleri and Kostitsyn goals so he’s not completely without blame.

So, Steinberg was just going on with this same comment on the fan, and I read it yesterday, and just left it alone.

BUT, now, when people are going off about “losing his net.” I’d like to hear someone articulate that. Problem is, one person starts with it, then someone else picks it up, then ten people.

The Kostitsyn goal. How did Kiprusoff “Lose his net?”

How does a goalie “lose his net” when a puck goes in on a shot short side deflected under the glove?

Is it because it went in that he lost his net?

Does he need to be even further over to the glove side standing in front of the post?

If Kiprusoff should save a deflected wrist shot from the top of the circle deflected off Pardy’s stick, then shouldn’t Karlsson save the Subban wrist shot that wasn’t deflected in OT? Watch ’em again, they are from the EXACT same spot, with Pardy reaching in on both like an idiot only he didn’t deflect Subban’s.

So, why does the criticism only focus on Kiprusoff?

Better, why are the defenders suddenly trying to make stick plays in body play zones? Even Don Cherry knows “Get your stick OUT of the way.” Pardy deflected THREE shots yesterday two went in, one hit the post. Three strikes your out. Use your head Adam that what it’s there for.

You block a man OR a puck with your BODY, you poke a puck OFF a stick with your stick. You deflect pucks with sticks, that’s why your gambling if you’re doing it as a defender.

If you can’t REACH the puck, then get your stick out of the way.

Look guys in the D zone made mistakes. You score 4 goals you HAVE to win. Lots of guys in the back-end weren’t good enough, but it sure had nothing to do with Kipper “losing a net”
