Number of Seasons Coaching the Cavaliers 11
Importance of Goalie Position If I was starting a franchise, my top two draft choices would be a goalie and an attackman. No one quite impacts a game like a goalie.....nothing lifts a team like that unexpected save. We always say the great goalies get all the shots they are supposed to and half the ones they shouldn't. If you had to choose between a great goalie and a fair set of defensemen or, the other way around, I think you go with the former every time. An experienced goalie can also be a very effective quarterback at the defensive end but, you are looking for that "ball stopping" ability first and foremost.
