Matt Climie signs for Steelers, 5 NHL games, 250 Ahl, 73 Del games, looks a very good netminder, with Jiri Gula being shown the door.

Getting on older than Garnett and Panthers fans don't think he can play every game!! Stats last couple of years not great . Will he be able to play every game?

No mate, they cancelled the webcast unfortunately. Totally confused about what has happened to the Panthers that started the season.

The NHL is the pinnacle and always gets mentioned, generally along with when a player was drafted and by whom. Embarrassing? Not really. Just a normal signing PR piece.

I guess it's aimed at the people who don't really understand how the NHL and their affiliate league work then eh. Back to This guy. Got brutal stats last 2 years . Definitely on the decline .

Unlike Garnett, they don't need him to play every game. Looking at those last 2 years it's probably for the best! Lol Tbh they 're more in need of a power forward than a new goalie. If it wasn't for whistle Panthers wouldn't have gone to the extra period on Saturday!

Makes sense. Whistle isn't consistent enough to play a full season without having a few howlers. So splitting the N/M role between the two should give them better coverage, as long as it's managed correctly. It worked well enough for Panthers with Garnett/Galbraith & Wiikman/Pacl.

As long as your psychic and know before the game which one of them would be having a howler tonight so you can play the other one ! 😀

Looks a great signing to me. As others have mentioned he won't have to play every game & will definitely improve their netminding.
Their new coach has identified a weakness very quickly & acted. We can only dream of such proactiveness from our own regime.

He’s actually a few months younger than Garnett Pidge. The other two goalies at Innsbruck aren’t pulling any trees up either mate so this years stats could be a bit skewed if he’s got a poor D in front of him. Apart from the age he looks decent to me.

But don't you always look at stats to judge a player iginla? When Panthers have signed goalie in the past you be never thought for a moment they couldn't be played behind a bad defence ? Works both ways

One brick at a time.
For the record Kowalski's save % in Italy was 0.897....
It's a great signing by Steelers imo & will definitely improve them.

You think they only have the one weakness? He'll surely be looking to add to the forwards too, considering he canned Lawrence already.

Kwall was at a totally different stage of his career .. Not comparable

I still think we are probably the stronger side but one club is working towards improving whilst one seems perfectly happy with what it has.
Don't think we'll be the stronger side by the end of the season. Prove me wrong Panthers.
