Here's what I like about Niemi...he seems aloof. Normally, in an athlete, you want someone who shows he cares all the time. Goalies are a little different. I want someone who cares, but doesn't let one goal get them down. If Niemi has a shut out...whatever. If Niemi loses...whatever. Fiery works for some goalies, like Belfour. But I like the fact that Niemi praises his defence when he wins and but doesn't carry it over when he loses.
Not sure if he's a franchise goalie, but he's what we've got right now and I hope he can (with the help of the blueliners) carry this team. By the way, what's up with Kim Johnssen? Is he expected back anytime soon?
They've been quiet with Johnssen. It sounds like Campbell has a better shot at coming back sooner.
