For those interested in the advanced stats and information: Antti Niemi finished the season 2016-17 season with a -7.4 GSAx, for 82nd overall among goalies in the league while Lehtonen finished with a 10.8, ranking 12th among goalies, most of which was acquired after Niemi was benched. After the 16-17 season, Dallas Head Coach, Lindy Ruff was fired, Ken Hitchcock took over for 2017-18, Bishop also became the starter and Kari Lehtonen became the backup. Dallas would also finish 6th in the central again this season as well.
You’re 1000% right, I definitely knew that too cause staal was a leader in points so it’d be a forward not a defenseman 😂, I can’t believe I said Marc Staal, thank you for the correction.
Thank you! It’s my jersey from when I used to play for the university a couple of years back. They have a pretty solid club CHF D2 (might be D1 now) team.
I guess if you want tips, check out what The Hockey Guy does. Shannon's fast become pro calibre and if you learn from his successes and find your own way of implementing them, you should do really well as a hockey commentator on RUclips.
I know which game you’re talking about! Yep he let in 2 pretty bad goals in 11 shots but still nothing obscenely terrible. Unfortunately that was his only game in the NHL and he never got a chance to redeem himself. Thank you for watching!
So basically he saved first shot but because of own goal he was named as fail even tho... 2 on 1 attack, bad defending and he got blamed.. Again Dumba having way too much space and scoring. He might have been bad, but getting blamed for that defending is just wrong. Unfortunately stats are what is shown in North America, instead of what actually happened
Yes, however that’s not the full story, as Niemi’s GSAx, the best statistic to rank goalies independent of their defense, was 82nd in the league, while Dallas’s other goalie, Kari Lehtonen, was ranked 12th. Dallas’s defense was bad of course but that doesn’t make Niemi’s goaltending decent. Thanks for watching the video!
@@pjbth definitely one of the best ways to describe it, as a goalie myself, sometimes you just get too much in your own head and I feel that’s probably what happened to Niemi during his time in Dallas and afterwards
He didn’t do anything haha, I was just referencing the Covid-19 pandemic that shut sports down all across the world. Niemi made the voluntary decision to retire after the season abruptly ended

Remember when Devan Dubnyk was a Vezina Trophy finalist? What a time to be alive as a hockey fan.
Oh you mean the first start of my nhl 24 be a pro 😂😂

Marc Staal never played for Wild..it was his brother Eric..other than that interesting video

@@StickNPuckTV not a problem! Subscribed! Keep on good work!
Never knew that was possible but great video
Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
As a Stars fan we don't acknowledge Niemi.
Very interesting! I prefer goalie stories over field players 😍
Fair enough! As a goalie myself I love talking about goalies
That vols hockey jersey is cursed but also nice as hell

Artem Zagidulin had a pretty silly game on the flames, but only played a couple mins I think

@@StickNPuckTV I think he may be signed by a team in the near future got some okayish stats in the KHL right now i believe
Is that a juuse saros all-star jersey?
Absolutely, glad someone noticed haha.

he had no choice to go to SJ. chicago over signed players and couldnt keep byfuglien also,
Ladd, Madden, that team was the best i ever seen don't need Goalie to win !
@@sebastienmessier5363 2002 Redwings were the best iv ever seen lol
They definitely proved that winning two more after 2010!
It was like Goalie Yips

in what wrld is this the worst performance? percentage isnt everything u watch the canucks vs sharks game?
There was a save in that game it’s a better performance than this lmao
What’d he do in 2020 ?
He didn’t do anything haha, I was just referencing the Covid-19 pandemic that shut sports down all across the world. Niemi made the voluntary decision to retire after the season abruptly ended
I think you mean Erik Stall not Marc
I did, I apologize, messed up on that one. Thank you for watching though!
