They have given an assist for less than what karlsson did that for sure.
Bishop didn't really impressive me as I was hoping. I dunno if it was because he is nervous or it's how he always plays but he was deep in his net most of the time.
No assist for Karlsson of the Turris goal? seems a little sketchy.
All I cared about was the win last night, but reflecting on it, it's very strange. Even if it got knocked off Karlsson's stick and over to Turris, it was still completely manufactured by Karlsson. You see those plays result in assists all the time.
I'm sorry, but I wasn't all that impressed with Bishop. He seems like a limited goalie who just stays positional and plays safe. Of course, he's the kind of goalie that won't let in bad goals, but that killer instincts and that talent is not there, that I saw from Lehner.
It will be interesting to see a Lehner/Bishop tandem in a few years where Bishop can be a solid back up playing between 20-30 games a season.

I thought his rebound control was very good, but he dropped to the butterfly early a little too often. Hard to judge whether he has a killer instinct ,do mean not giving up on the play and making second effort saves, if so, there was limited opportunity in this game for him to show that trait, so more games will be needed to judge.

From what I saw yesterday (and from AHL games I've seen him play in), Lehner definately has more potential than Bishop. He's a good goalie, but doesn't even seem to use his size to his advantage. I saw him crouch multiple times yesterday while in a butterfly and stay deep in his net (2nd goal comes to mind).
Will be able to have a better opinion in the next couple of games. He's more of a Giguere type goaltender. And even with his height, Bishop seemed to have some holes on top of his shoulders (again crouching on his butterfly).
Gotta love how much talk there is as to why the heck the net was empty with Tampa down 3 goals. Makes no sense....I get that TB is desperate for the 2 pts to stay in the playoff race and it's quite possible he thought Bishop was struggling and would let in a quick goal or two, but 3 is definitely pushing it.
Milan was having a good laugh over it after his second empty netter. Thanks Boucher! It was a fun season series, that's for sure!
