Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4102327, member: 4819"] Well said - I guess I remember Porter playing pretty well in mop-up duty before taking the starter's reins. Enough to make you say, "well I guess we know who will be the goalie next year". And it's a totally different position but Buttermore went off for three goals against Colgate in mop up duty before he became a solid contributor. Again, you are totally right for calling that out for being unfair, but seeing Porter play well in mop up duty before he became a starter made me feel a lot better than what my expectations are for Thompson. There is a good chance that Thompson wins the job, but given the timing it makes me think Gait and Petro maybe weren't totally sold on Thompson. It should be an interesting battle that's for sure.
