This was a make-or-break for him to be accepted as "part of the team" -or at least that's how I was viiewing it. First impressions count -particularly at this age, so if he'd fluffed, the other players perception would have been of him being a bad goalie and that's hard to recover from. Sure, every goalie will have crappy games, you just need the first game not to be one of those it wasn't awesome either -one of the goals he let in was because he fell over. but it was OK and they didn't lose and he made some really good saves, so he showed he's got some game.
