Kevin Bailie

As most know I have been a Bailie supporter all year. Just wonder what everyone's thoughts are towards him now that he's more consistent and getting a ton more playing time.

As I said before, he's no Subban or Vestin (sp), however, I think once he got playing and his confidence has been built up- he's definately playing a lot better.

He was the # 1 STAR last night - 1 bad goal otherwise played GREAT

I'm shocked. Literally shocked. Never thought he had it in him, and I guess I wrote him off.

However, this goes to show that if you give a goalie a chance to run, win lose or draw (provided he isnt getting blown out game in game out) you can give a guy confidence.

Ridding the "win you're in" crap is one of the best things Agnew has done all year.

Time will tell, I'm still not convinced. His play has picked up with the addition of defence. He has kept us in a few games but he doesn't make the saves that make a goalie great. We could have easily had a 2 goal lead after the first period if not for to crazy saves by Niagaras goalie.

I don't feel Bailie steals games, which is something a goalie his age and possibly in his last year should be able to do. Especially on a team going for it, which is what I believe we decided to do.

He doesn't steel games , but he is much improved over last year , i didn't think it would happen , good for him and us !
