He's been great his entire career. A true franchise goalie. Although New Jersey is a horrific mess side from him

Two of the top 3 is pretty funny but both were very good. Schneider probably is top 5.

They were actually right about Schneider, I'm surprised lol.

I bet Edmonton really wishes they got him at that draft when Vancouver traded him, Canucks didn't want him in the division though.

Don't tell Walshy that. He's sucking-up to Devils fans telling them they deserved the win

No that's not shtick.

Thinking Stamkos will never leave Tampa isn't a shtick.

Right-o.

I'm hoping to not look like a twat if Stamkos doesn't sign with the Leafs.

If he does, I'll have plenty of material to use against the rest

Wow, Dallas going supernova

Funny thing is.. EDM had a Vezina trophy candidate. That franchise is so stupid they don't trade for some defense.

Never been a fan of Kari "Letitin"

Good game, reffing was stinky as usual.

He's right though, I've noticed the same thing for years, Dion will not lay down to block a shot.
- sloppyseconds2

Blocking shots has changed. You are not supposed to lay down to block shots anymore - it's generally a stand tall with your legs together or down on one knee with one leg slightly sideways to cover more angles.

The only time a lay-down block is ever used is when you are very close to the player shooting - ie a forward covering the point. Even then it's a risky proposition if the D shooting the puck has enough room to side step around you.

Dallas was up 5-1 and scored with 19 secs left to win 6-5

Dissapointing win

Sean Burke made him that way. And that was after Edmonton.

Sparks was solid again...3 great games, 1 stinker..not bad
3-1, 2.20GAA/.921SV%.

was it really even a stinker... it was essentially him vs the jets whole team... no one in front of him played that game

And he hasn't been anything but average/above average since that miracle run.

There are very very few goalies in the league that are true game-changers, consistently throughout an entire season; some can even do it every year (Price), but that's really the exception here and when you're the best goalie in the world, it's to be expected.

But when you have the next best thing, you should really hold onto it. Vancouver had two very good goalies, both consistent year-in, year-out, enough so that you can build a team around them, but they squandered that talent and really have nothing to show for it.

Very Leafy. Very "Canada's Team".

Lundqvist is the best goalie in the world.

Mike Augello: Cap Projections & Coach Compensation Changes; Leafs Vs Devils
- mikeinbuffalo

anybody else think that it would be a good idea to sign semin to come in and mentor some of the new guys. maybe call up kovalev and back up the brinks truck to bring him on in a development coach role.

nice alliteration

edit:what a (frank)ing joke

Hard to believe that the Leafs are 1 point from the bottom of the league, yet only 6 points out of the playoffs almost midway through December. Holy Smokes.

And, with all the fire power, the Pens would not be in the playoffs, if they started today.

I don't think anybody would have predicted that.

Mornin.

My old dog and hamster hated each other. Dog spent at least half her life with a scar on her nose from getting too close to the cage.

When the hamster died, my mom, in a fit of eastern european morbid curiousity, decided to leave it out to see what the dog would do. Dog just went up to the hamster, sniffed it, and lay down looking at it... didn't try to eat it at all. Dogs have lots of respect for the members of their family unit.

Cats on the other hand would definitely eat you after they killed you. Because all cats are vicious murderous bumholes.

I think he means under extreme circumstances. Like you're both stuck in the house together. Not the moment you keel over you become a milk bone.
