My opinion, for anyone who wants to hear it:
Not the sole reason we have 3 losses, but his big and often poorly-directed rebounds certainly have contributed to it. In the Oswego game, if he hugs the near post like every goalie is taught to on a shot from that area, the first Oswego goal doesn't sneak between his pad and the goalpost. And in the Concordia game, if he doesn't unnecessarily charge out almost completely into the face off circle (far enough that a Concordia player was able to skate behind him across the crease without touching him), he doesn't get to show us how unfamiliar he is with the rule book by throwing a hissy-fit about "goaltender interference" that wasn't even close to being goaltender interference on the Cobbers' 4th goal.
Again, not totally his fault. If he's not unnecessarily screened by 2 Plattsburgh Dmen and 1 Cobber, he probably doesn't get to wrongly complain about alleged goaltender interference on the 3rd Concordia goal. If Engvall doesn't turn over the puck what feels like 70% of the time he touches it in the D-zone, Plattsburgh probably has a shot in the Oswego game.
Even still... As Remy points out, the stats are pretty clear that Rouleau just isn't working right now. In the modern game, with the current size of goaltending equipment, a goalie has no excuse for a .872 save percentage on a team at this level. He may not be solely responsible for the 2-3 record in the games that he's started, but he is responsible for his poor play in many of those games. At this point, I feel the small sample we have of Josh Davies is far more promising than anything Rolo has given us, and it looks like the team plays better in front of Davies than in front of Rolo (which may just be a psychological thing for the team).
IMO, Davies has earned a shot to be a starter in some big games and a chance to prove himself. Besides: if you keep sticking with a Rouleau who is putting up sub-par performances ahead of Davies, what does that do to Davies's confidence level when we need rely on him next year?
