The ...I would tend to agree with the last comment. The defense was horrible to start the season and that contributed to a barrage of early goals. <BR/><BR/>In addition, I think technically speaking he was carrying his glove low and he was getting beat a lot more than normal over his glove side and that seems to have been corrected lately.<BR/><BR/>Once he had a few bad games and Pickard played so well he became the #2 goalie and it beomes impossible to find any kind of groove when you are only playing every 3rd game at the most.<BR/><BR/>It seems that Pickard going off to the U-17s was probably the best thing that could have happened for him because he was able to play every game and slowly get his confidence back.Thunnexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789566664956835210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-60100683192878038142009-01-18T01:13:00.000-08:002009-01-18T01:13:00.000-08:00what happened to Jacob is in the beginning of the ...what happened to Jacob is in the beginning of the season (and Thunnex can correct me if I am way off track) is that he had a few bad games, the D did not play well for him, maybe had a lot of preassure on his shoulder (maybe more from himself being drafted and not signed yet). They started to win with Calvin and Jacob did not get the starts to play thru is slump.

I wonder if it was hard to adjust back to the Junior game after being at the flyers camp or did his draft selection go to his head and he stopped working hard.<BR/><BR/>I hope to see a Pickard - Pickard matchup tomorrow night.Trevor's Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083861868823202544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-29326952389951092182009-01-17T23:56:00.000-08:002009-01-17T23:56:00.000-08:00I can't really fully comment on Pickard on Friday,...I can't really fully comment on Pickard on Friday, because I wasn't at the game. He gave up 5 goals on 19 shots, which might not be entirely his fault but would indicate the reasoning behind getting pulled.<BR/><BR/>On the Silvester-Dailey fight, wasn't really much of a fight with the two getting tangled after Heemskerk covered a puck in front of the net. Dailey stood up for his goalie, Silvester wrestled him to the ice. Punch-wise a draw, overall fight a slight advantage to Silvester for the take down.Thunnexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789566664956835210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-24118495208558333522009-01-17T23:41:00.000-08:002009-01-17T23:41:00.000-08:00What happened to Pickard in Everett friday night? ...What happened to Pickard in Everett friday night?
