It's what I do. Come through with a somewhat obscure ECHL goalie.

Nonsense. Vinny set up Giroux for a PPG in the 5-on-3. Therefore, based on that sample size, it will happen every time they're on the ice on a PP together.
- jmatchett383

That was a hell of a play by Vinny.

In all seriousness.. If Vinny HAD to be on the top unit I would slide Voracek to the right wing, and Vinny to the point. I think that could be lethal.

When a woman says something is adequate, it usually means she's concealing possibly hurtful news from you.

Women... when adequate is the white lie of your failure.

You can come over and romp with my too many dogs anytime you want. When you think you're ready I'll find you one of your own.

I'll even feed you.

I call him adequate because he isn't exactly setting the world on fire but I don't worry about him.
- mayorofangrytown


how does one go about setting the world on fire? that seems like a lot of work and would require a lot of time, like more time than he's played so far this season.

Will everyone feel better if I say he's been "good" when I really mean he's been "fine."

I prefer "super-eminent" myself.

He's had all of last season too. It was good (adequate). I didn't worry about the nets until he went down.

.... and, from a previous generation, Anders Hedberg and Thomas Gradin. Also Nicklas Sundström and Samuel Påhlsson from the Forsberg generation.

Just like The Joker did. You just get some cheap kerosene and explosives, take 1/2 of Gotham City's mob's money, and start offing people until Christian Bale shows his face.

Here is an adjective about a goalie that we can agree on: MAF is . . . inadequate

All I have is screaming lady. Every person who has ever sat in my seats asks me what the hell her problem is the next time I see them. The first time I saw her, I simply asked her to stop blowing he vuvuzela every 10 seconds, and apparently that made me a huge bumhole. We haven't been on talking terms since.

I always liked Boosh, but Mason is twice the puckhandler Boosh was. Mason may be in top 5 of current league in that area. I'd also put Mason's glovehand and lateral movement in the upper one third.
- bmeltzer

Boosh had a nice run in Phoenix, I think they are both considered good goalies not great

MAF is generally above average in the regular season, and somewhere from "average" to "meltdown-prone" in the postseason. He was good enough to win the Penguins a Cup, but he wasn't outstanding a la Tim Thomas 2011 or Jonathan Quick 2012.
