Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

Well, it is Darren Dreger, he's slightly more credible than Eklund.

 

[DragonfromTO]

At least he averaged a .900 sv%.

I had him at .892 after his first 5? Not that it matters much.

You did say 5, my bad. I only counted 4 since Enroth only started 4 games in T.O.

Hadn't heard that name in years. Went over there to see how things were.

Oh, I see there's a Shane Doan sweepstakes underway. Isn't that grand!

 

[DragonfromTO]

I wasn't actually sure how many he'd played, I had 5 in my head and didn't check it. Was it only 4 starts?

I don't really care much because as I said, that's simply part of what you sign up for as a backup goalie in the first place. But I think we can agree that the new backup will probably perform better than Enroth did in his 4 Leafs starts. And that Enroth will probably perform better in his next 4 NHL starts than he did in his 4 as a Leaf.

Yeah, Enroth was pretty bad but I don't think he's that bad.

Then again, little goalie in a land of giants.

He's been short his whole career though, I doubt it suddenly became a big problem for him.

And although I meant "short" by professional athlete standards yes, I am taller than him.

Being a short goalie didn't seem to be an issue until more recently.

Friedman said Gillis has been in the mix, too, but:


But...current administration is why you're searching for new execs in the first place...

These Island folks sure do things in a funny way.

Only positive takeaway I see from this is that the new owners are exploring options and opinions. They can't have too much confidence in Snow.

Which now I'll contradict myself because I'm nervous Snow will do something stupid in an attempt to save his job. Fucking Islanders........

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Fuck it. Hamonic, Dal Colle and a first for JVR.

Cammon Garth, your jawb is on the line!

Ouch indeed. But yeah, he got caught between thoughts about what to do.

THWUMP

 

[thedddd]

Or when your shutdown D-man is injured (Methot). But let's not let facts get in the way.

The Pens transition game is awesome. I kinda figured with Meth out that they'd have a field day.

Geez...Can't take a joke.

 

[thedddd]

Or when you're facing the Stanley Cup champions, who are also leading the league in shots per game

Well yeah that was the point he had to get shelled to get pulled whereas MAF just had to be MAF.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Laresen dead?

This Oilers/Sabres game is worse than watching paint dry.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

All head, no?
