By Bryan Reynolds -
You see, goalies are a weird bunch. I know. I used to be one. Coaches generally won't talk about goalies or their play. Players only praise them, never call them out. Fans blame them more than credit them. Answers about goalies aren't easy to come by, and the development of the position is the trickiest in the game. Throw them in too early, and they get eaten alive. Throw them in too late, and you only get a couple of useful years out of them.
Hackett was spectacular in the early goings. Then, the team fell apart on his second stint. Story of the season, eh?
Nathan- Great start, tough finish, unorthodox and now hurt. He should, however, be a solid NHL player for a long time. But we've said that before.
Grade: B
Bryan- This kid is either going to be phenomenal, or a complete and total disaster. The start he had, and the game he is capable of... they leave Wild fans drooling for more. But it seems the brass is not quite ready to hand him the backup role just yet. Still, Hackett looks to be pretty solid, though he needs to work on controlling his rebounds a bit.
Grade: B+
Grade - B+
