Are goalie tandems the wave of the future for NHL teams during the Stanley Cup playoffs?
Evason had talked about using the tandem during the playoffs. But I wasn’t really sure how it would play out. Sometimes that type of talk is just lip service. Coaches have previously hinted at doing so, but rarely does it happen. It’s a stance I tend to agree with. To me, there are very few teams with true No.1 goaltenders. And the position has become extremely optimized in recent years. There are countless good goalies. But great ones? There might be a half dozen currently in the NHL.
That last part about relationships really sticks out. He talked about how important it was for a team to have proof that the two personalities would work in tandem. And how the coaching staff would need to believe that the “sum is greater than the parts.” He felt that the Wild were expecting a big push from Dallas. And that going with a veteran like Fleury – someone who’s been through just about every situation imaginable – might help Minnesota steal Game 2. Worst case – which is exactly what happened – the Wild return home 1-1 in the series with a rested Gustavsson.
