Maybe it's the new style. That makes the shooter see absolutely nothing of the goal. Kaapo just needs to skate back quickly if the forward decides to skate inside of shooting  

This is the result of those ridiculous trapeziod restrictions. Now goalies are lashing out and exploring new areas.

Interesting writeup on Fiala getting benched:

Thanks, a nice read about a really good coaching moment. The Fiala to Evason talk was shown on the broadcast as well. Evason standing next to Fiala, who gave quite a long talk to Evason, and Evason thinking with a hand covering his mouth. I am not so sold on the coaching because the PP has not been showing anything, but the mentality of the team has changed for sure, and that is way more important than PP (which reminds me of Parise bringing in Oates as a personal PP coach during the Yeo era, but that is thank God a different story, and different times).

Surprised by Boldy but does that mean Dewar stays up here

If it's Dewar for Boldy, it's kind of odd, but at least they put Boldy in the taxi squad. Likely he'll play again quite soon.
