He doesn't have a defence that protects him. He doesn't have a defence that gives him confidence. They leave him very exposed during every game, and that makes it extremely difficult for him to keep a clean sheet, he explained. Canizares went further, suggesting that the problem is structural rather than individual. In his view, Barcelona currently lack clear defensive concepts that help safeguard their goalkeeper. This, he warned, could eventually hurt Garcia's confidence and overall performance as the season progresses.
The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 on Monday night, backed by a phenomenal performance from Dennis Hildeby. The Lightning entered the game sitting first in the Atlantic Division, making the Leafs' performance even more impressive. Hildeby recorded his first career NHL shutout and now holds a .969 save percentage, one of the best marks in the league.
"That we're defending as a five-man unit a lot better than we have been. We have numbers around the puck, and we are breaking pucks out easier. We are not stretched out. We are connected in the zones. That's what I see. In the neutral zone, we have done a pretty good job with our defending. Offensively, we have done a pretty good job of creating chances. I liked our power play; it created some opportunities that didn't go in."
