Re: The Athletic: Is Jared Coreau a better option in goal than Petr Mrazek?

I recall hearing a lot of Rinne criticism at the end of the recent playoffs, saying that he was overly 'active' (Mrazek-esque) and needs Nashville's amazing Dmen to keep things under control around the crease. Coreau does seem a better fit, assuming Detroit's defence remains as is (which, let's be honest, it will be).
I guess it's this sort of thing where the goalies making the highlight reel saves may impress hockey fans, but not their goalie coach?
