Reader poll: goaltending tandems


Posted at 8:56 am by Nick Patterson

A tip of the hat to reader Jeff Camp for suggesting this week's poll question.

The Tips are home again following their road trip through the Central Division. Everett went 4-1-1-0 against the Central, and much of that success was due to the goaltending of Thomas Heemskerk and Kent Simpson as the Tips allowed just nine goals in those six games. Those performances lifted both Heemskerk and Simpson into the top seven in the WHL's goaltending rankings.

But highly-ranked goaltending is nothing new for the Tips. Often in Everett's history, particularly during the Kevin Constantine years, the Tips had two goaltenders among the league's leaders in goals against average, and being able to call upon two quality netminders was a big advantage for Everett.

So that leads to this week's poll:
