Series Thread: Round 1: Philly vs Washington

[KennyBanyeah]

I mean his career playoff stats don't lie.

40GP 20W 20L .940SV% 1.76GAA

Best SV% ever and 3rd best GAA ever (best for anyone who played after the 1940s).

100% sieve.

I don't think anyone would be crazy enough to call Holtby a sieve. He's really more of a colander guy, IMO.

Against the second-lowest scoring team in the playoffs.

Let's see how he handles Sid, Geno, Phil and co.

So a goalie can have great stats against a team that doesn't score much? It's almost like his stats wouldn't have been so good if the Flyers scored more. There has to be SOME reason those things line up that way.

No dash. You strain things with a Collander. You write dates on a Calendar.

lol - I was wondering why my calendar was so soggy, thanks for the tip 43.

It is a good tip. But don't you hate when you are straining some spaghetti with your Holtby and some of the noodles slip part way through the Holtby and touch the dirty bottom of your sink?

That really brings MY piss to a boil.

Just saying the Pens should be a tougher test. He had a .912 sv% against them this season - among teams he played multiple games against this year the only team he had a worse sv% against were the Rangers. No team took as many shots this season as the Pens and only the Stars and the Caps themselves scored more than them. It's a huge test for him.

I know, just gvin ya guff.

I also believe that Murray and/or Zatkoff will find it considerably harder to deal with the Caps attack than he/they did with that apathetic Rags group.

Certainly, and worth noting that the Rangers were 7th I think in scoring so maybe it just doesn't matter all that much come playoff time.
