I'm not that down on Martin - I saw a LOT of defensive breakdowns staring in the second period, I think Kooch would have had a similar result.

I called BS on that notion. The other night when we barely beat the Flyers everyone was all over PK, but Martin doesn’t get that same treatment.

Martin is a call up #3. Kochetkov is a #1B. Of course they don't get the same treatment. 

Just stop already.

My dude, you keep bringing it up haha. I’m not worried. But the reaction to Koochie isn’t warranted.

Kochetkov would have let in the same 5. None of those were cheap goals, except the goalie interference that wasn't.

I don't think Martin played poorly, overall. However, I gotta disagree on this. I think just factoring in styles of play, you would've seen a difference on at least a few of those.

Spencer seems to be more of a patient, stay at home type goalie vs Pyotr's, well...

... we'll call reckless abandon. Syle matters.

Snipers like Makar and Natedogg are gonna pick apart a patient goalie, eventually. You gotta challenge those guys, and throw them off their game.

And, all of that ignores the "it" factor.

... I know how cringe that sounds. I didn't enjoy typing that, but I don't know how else to describe it. It seems blatantly obvious to me that the team plays differently with Kucci in net.

Does that mean we would've shut out the Avs if Pyotr was in net? Not, necessarily, we all know Kucci still has those wtf nights. Hell, he might've had a complete meltdown and given up 11.
