He does not command the box that well, is not really sure in the air, is more an agile stop stopper, which looks good in the crunch. I find he only average with his feet. Of course that was a flaw with Borjan too, one of his weak areas. Yup, I'm not saying he's better than Crepeau. HIs ball distribution needs work. If Crepeau was healthy, he's the number 2. But he's not, so I'd like to give St Clair some time with the NT to see how he does. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 He's not the finished product, but he is progressing nicely. I find comfort that, Crepeau is 28, Pantemis 26, StClair is 25 and Sirois is 21. All getting MLS level experience when we had no Keepers in MLS not that long ago. StCLair should definitely get a GC game this summer. johnyb, Corazon, Dominic94 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that was a flaw with Borjan too, one of his weak areas. Prior to his emergence with the Caps, I would have made a similar description for Crepeau: a very athletic shot stopper but other areas needing improvement. But he really impressed in Vancouver and I would dare say he was better at commanding his box there than in the times I saw him with LA.

PiedPilko Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) A bit concerning... he's been the worst GK in the league this year by goals allowed above expected.

Minnesota fans really turning on him Honestly I haven’t watched much Minnesota but from what I’ve seen their defence has been god awful, last night especially he didn’t have a chance on any of those goals. Xg is weird because even on a shot that is completely unsaveable could still have low Xg, For example Camachos goal last night had a 0.07xg and there was no way in hell DSC was getting to that.

TOcanadafan Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Can’t disagree that this year has been a big disappointment for St.Clair… a step back. Let’s hope he turns things around. From an overall CMNT perspective, not hugely concerned as we seem to have a large pool of goalie prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Geesh, he is in his second year as a regular MLS starter, has become an auto call up for Canada and will prob get games at the GC. HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT. Come on, Minny is having a tough time on D, but thats the way a career goes eh? Ups and downs, tough patches, but still be a pro, keep getting better.

Corazon Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) I don’t happen to watch a lot of Minnesota games but it seems like they actually have some of the better statistics defensively in MLS this year. They give up very few shots on goal against per game. Again, I’m not watching, so I’m not see the chances against first hand but statistically Minnesota has been one of the most defensively sound clubs in the league. Zero penalties conceded. Only the Union, LAFC & Red Bulls have conceded less shots on net. Maybe others can chime in on the “eye test” but basic statistics show Minnesota has a decent defensive performance. FWIW I still rate him as our 3rd choice keeper. Edited June 11, 2023 by Corazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I need to see how the goals were conceded. One thing that has stood out for me in some past performances is that after a goal was given up, regardless of whether or not he could have done better on it, he would "switch off" somehat and not have his head in the moment and then would concede again shortly thereafter on a play where more assertion would have helped. Punching and not catching, staying rooted to the line on some crosses: some of those are examples of a confidence thing. I like him, but a healthy and a return-to-form Crepeau is my choice ahead of him. Still, the Gold Cup gives him a good shot to show his chops.

With Milan aging out at some point, I am really hoping Max makes a full recovery and gets back to where he was. With Sirois coming up and looking really promising I am not sure DSC is ever going to be out starting keeper.

TGAA_Star Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 At least St Clair played better than Borjan and that isn't saying much given how much of a failure this Gold Cup was for Canada Bison44, Vasi and Unnamed Trialist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't cap tie someone anymore... It's 3 or more caps in official games or making an appearance in a continental tournament like the Gold Cup.
