I have really tried to be a Vokoun fan, but I just can’t get completely behind him. Of course I’ll always cheer for him as a Panther, but his so called style and tendency to give up some real weak goals have me worried every time I see an opposition player wind up to shoot.

I’m sure being a goalie myself that was trained in a strict, technically sound manor has something to do with it…but come on. It’s getting old. This is the 3rd year and we’re seeing the same crapola game after game. 3 great saves and one easy goal still equal a 1-0 deficit and a .750 save%.

in T-Vo’s defense, we are not going to win any games until we start scoring some more goals. We have only scored more than 2 goals twice this season (coincidentally those are also our only two wins)

On the flip side, we have only let up less than 3 goals once this year. So T-Vo better Czech himself or it’s Clemmy time.

I’m not a T-Vo hater, well yet. But with the goalie situation next year I hope he plays well enough so we can get a great trade for value.

Clemmy and Markstrom can handle the duties next year if Markstrom is ready by that point (and indicators say he should be).

Do not hold him for any potential playoff run. Remember the old saying, “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”

I think what the problem here is that the team is lacking scoring. Let’s face it. We’ve had Luongo who played very well for the most part. Admit it folks, he let in some softies too. Belfour, who actually played pretty well. Remember him starting 27 games in a row and keeping us in the playoff hunt. Now Vokoun.

We’ve had pretty decent goalies, but we aren’t scoring. That’s they key. Therefore we are depending on our goaltending to be superb every night. Not fair, and not going to happen. The Panthers need to build a group of players that can be competitive in all areas, not just defense.
Speaking of defense, our system has problems. With the players that we’ve had both last year and this year, the amount of shots we give up is way too many.
Maybe the forwards need to do a better job forechecking as well as backchecking.

I like Vokoun, but I tink he’s been a vitctim of all these issues.
Can we trade him? We’ll see. It would be nice if we can get some scoring back if we do.
