Its not unfair at all. He’s a professional athlete (in his prime), he should be able to handle playing 8 games in 20 days, its a short stretch and he wouldn’t be playing this amount over the course of the season. So the 72 game pace is irrelevant as it would never happen.
Missed 35 games last year, missed several weeks in 2023 (ankle), another ankle injury in 2022 and missed games in 2021.
Plays well when he plays, but it seems like you cant ever rely on him.
Its too bad.
Sorry I won’t agree with you on this one. Average rate for NHL starting goalies is 50-60 games a season. Therefore the pace they had him at was roughly an 18-22% increase in starts for a NHL goalie.
You can’t expect every NHL goalie to have Brodeur’s endurance capability without risk. If you do you’re crazy, I’m sorry but you are. Woll is good, but he’s not a HoF all star.
