Uncle Baby Billy

Calgary Flames goaltender Devin Cooley read an old engineering book and found a section called "the expert problem." Experts get overtaken by younger colleagues. Not because they lose their abilities. Because their success makes them less willing to learn. Cooley saw it coming for himself. "I'm the man, I've had success in the league now for a couple years. I know how to play the position, don't tell me what to do." Somewhere else in the league, a younger goalie is learning techniques he's never considered. The position keeps evolving. Experience becomes a problem when we treat it as evidence that our thinking no longer needs to change.
