Brad Boyes? :doh: Not sure which way to take this. :rolleyes:

And tonights #1 star goes to...............

Good point.

Unfortunately yes. P-Ville is a great all around player, he's having a bad stretch but overall he's one of our most consistent. But you can't take the C away from somebody and keep him on the team.

Oh post game show in BFLO? My bad.......... NHL GameCenter cuts off the feed immediately after the game ends.

Where are you seeing this?

Damn P-Ville throws a hit and Myers pretends like he wants to fight somebody. Did somebody tell these guys about all the scouts at the game?

Nash just laid out Kopecky from behind with an elbow to the head and left his feet. Didn't even get a penalty.

He was showing affection. Wouldn't that be sportsmanlike? Pussification of America, before you know it there will be 2 minute penalties for hurting somebody's feelings. There will be a list of unacceptable trash talking words.

Who does Washington have that we could use?

How much does anybody want to bet Marcy trades Ott before the deadline?

PUT ENROTH IN NET WHILE WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ott Hodgson Vanek Ehrhoff Foligno Enroth

A coaches job is to win PERIOD. At this point Enroth gives this team the better chance to win. Miller's been in the league for eight years and every team knows what he's about, sitting him again isn't going to change his value.

In Miller's defense, I think there are too many variables and not enough games for a goaltender to be labeled an elite postseason goaltender. In today's NHL where many goals are scored by scrums in front of the net or lucky bounces, elite goaltenders can get beaten and hot not names can flourish. If you go down the list of goaltenders in the finals over the last 10-15 years I will bet the majority of them were far from elite goaltenders.

Didn't the Flyers make it to the final with an AHL goaltender?

You criticized my stats on Hasek. What does this have to do with Hasek? It's pretty simple to disprove, all you need are last years GPG average for the league, GPG averages from the years Hasek played and the number of games Hasek played in each year. Throw in a little bit of arithmetic and you're good to go. Nevermind. I've got better things to do with my time.

Disprove that Hasek played more games in seasons that had lower scoring than this year, or last year for that matter. I provided my links, let's see yours. I also provided stats in the other thread showing why I think he is an average goaltender aside from his Silver/Vezina year. The only retort you've had was from your heart.

Do you really need to add the snide comment? Yes, I said pre-1997. Perhaps I shouldn't have becuase if you read the rest of it I was comparing different times in the league not specific years. i.e. end of the big scoring era and the beginning of today's boring hockey. There is no exact year or date this all happened. Case in point if you go to the chart I posted, most of Hasek's games were played at a time when scoring was higher than today which is an essential factor when comparing. Perhaps you missed this post. And no, he's not one of the better goaltenders in the league. He was one of the best in the league for a year, that is all.

Looks like the bulk of his career was during the decline of big scoring, but still higher than it is today. I'm just comparing save percentages year by year. http://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/seasons/1994-95-nhl-goalies-stats.html

Take this for what it's worth. Looks like pre-1997 scoring was higher than it is now. Then again, post-2003 lockout scoring was high for a couple of years. Most of Hasek's games played were pre-1997. I guess an argument could be made either way. http://www.quanthockey.com/TS/TS_GoalsPerGame.php

That's why I make comparisons to the rest of the league at the time. In terms of save percentages, Hasek was a career .922 and Milles is a career .915. Hasek played at a time when scoring was higher and save percentages were generally around .008-.01 lower than they are today.

He did put on quite a show last year!

In the last 10-15 years, most of them weren't elite besides Thomas and Broduer. And some would argue Thomas wasn't elite.

That's amazing.
