bunomatic Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 They do look tired. I would be alright with the Ducks winning this series because Crawford has revealed himself to be an ass on the ice. I think the beating they've been taking may be taking a toll. The , er ducks look huge. :blink: Quote
... Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 This series has turned me on to the Ducks. Love their physical game and precision. Don't know if Anderson is an average playoff team goalie or really good because he's playing against Chicago. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 I just can't see the Rags or the lightning beating Anaheim if they take this thing. Quote
... Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Figures the Ducks would fall apart after I pay them compliments. Quote
Hoss Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Anderson has given up some bad ones in these last two games. Quote
bunomatic Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 What a finish to that 3rd. Come on Hawks ! Quote
Thorner Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 If something can go right for the Hawks, it almost always does. Crazy fluke of a goal there. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Didn't Toews do the same thing to the Sabres the last week of the season? Quote
bunomatic Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Didn't Toews do the same thing to the Sabres the last week of the season? Yes I remember something like that. Never say die Quote
Thorner Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Yes I remember something like that. Never say die Except it wasn't a terrible goal that should have been saved. Quote
bunomatic Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Except it wasn't a terrible goal that should have been saved. True. Did you see the Ducks coach. How'd that go in ? That was quick Quote
Iron Crotch Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Glad to see the Ducks win this one. Chicago is the most hated team here in Nashville for a variety of reasons. Quote
Thorner Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Very glad to see Beleskey come through there. Just didn't sit right that it was such a fluky goal to tie. Great series. Two great teams. Edited May 26, 2015 by Thorny Quote
thewookie1 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Come on Hawks, you've got to win this series. Either that or the Rangers need to win theirs. Would not be all that excited by an Anaheim-Tampa Bay Finals Quote
... Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Really? I think Tampa and Anaheim would be better to watch than the alternatives. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 These playoffs are further proving my theory that paying big $$$ for a goaltender has little to no benefit when you can use that extra $$$ elsewhere. Really? I think Tampa and Anaheim would be better to watch than the alternatives. Absolutely. Quote
LGR4GM Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Posted May 26, 2015 Really? I think Tampa and Anaheim would be better to watch than the alternatives. I just want nothing more to do with NYR hockey this season. Quote
inkman Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Would not be all that excited by an Anaheim-Tampa Bay Finals Said no one ever. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 These playoffs are further proving my theory that paying big $$$ for a goaltender has little to no benefit when you can use that extra $$$ elsewhere. I'm actually coming around to your view on this, but I'm pretty sure Anderson is the only cheap goaltender left; Crawford, Lundqvist, and Bishop are all at $6 million or more. Really? I think Tampa and Anaheim would be better to watch than the alternatives. As long as Tampa makes it, I think it will be great regardless of who emerges out of the West. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 I'm actually coming around to your view on this, but I'm pretty sure Anderson is the only cheap goaltender left; Crawford, Lundqvist, and Bishop are all at $6 million or more. True, but I don't think Chicago and Tampa are there because of the goaltending. Lundqvist is the exception to the rule and even he's looked human a few times. Anaheim is arguably the most dominant team in the playoffs so far and they have the cheapest and most unproven goaltender. Crawford has looked terrible, it seems his ability in the playoffs is often questioned. Everybody says he looks slow and tired. He sure does look slow but he'd better be fresher than all the rest. He sat for a few games. He kicked out two fat rebounds last night that cost them a win. Chicago is extremely short on defensemen, most of it because they can't afford more because of their $6mil man. Basically their 5/6 defensemen are riding the bench, what little they've played has hurt them. Timonen was a game worst - 2 last night and he only played 8 minutes. Bishop hasn't been anything spectacular either. Is it their faults when they lose? Hardly. But they sure aren't doing much to help the situation. An extra $4-$5 mil can go a long way to beef up the defense. That's just my short opinion of it. Could be completely different next year. Who knows. Quote

Bishop is at $2.4M right now. Will be $5.95M next year. The idea, I think, is that we don't need to go out and get an expensive goalie. You can buy low on guys with potential (Martin Jones, Cam Talbot, Jacob Markstrom, Eddie Lack, others) and ride them until they prove they should be paid. Quote
