Vokoun or Byzgalov: My Wednesday Morning Debate

[DChero]

Fleury has a lot of Osgood in him. Lots of ups and downs, but I wouldn't be scared to go into the Stanley Cup Finals with him on my side.

Completely agree. Osgood was so frustrating to see my Penguins go against in the Finals. I never really respected him until seeing him get into that mode.

Just to "be fair" though, Detroit ate Pittsburgh alive during those first two games and was rock solid defensively the rest of the series. In '09, as much as everyone fawned over Crosby and Malkin, Pittsburgh played probably the best overall team defense I'd seen in the Finals since Anahiem.

Epic back-to-back Finals. The Wings had everything firing in the first two games of both. Lidstrom and Datsyuk did a great job of shadowing Crosby. That was the only time successfully do that. I really thought Staal was the best forward for the Penguins then, as he was the only top-guy with room to skate. I'd love to see a winner-take-all threepeat of that final come up in the next couple of years.

Back to the topic - I think it's fair to say that there are a handful of goalies that we might not necessarily put on our fantasy teams, but we'd easily start in the playoffs over some of the Vezina candidates.

Ewwwwww.

"That's what Sydney Crosby said."

Ok, his name is SEMIN! We get it! Can we move on?!

It's funny because it's homosexual.

 

[quoipourquoi]

You can't deny that the Caps are loaded with Semin and company. That big blast from the point could be huge for the PP.

Very true. I caught a game between the Capitals and the Hurricanes last season; at the end of the second period, Cam Ward looked like he was in a bukkake video.

On second thought...neither.
