How many back-to-back games will it take you to realize that you're terrible at ball hockey though?

Its taking decades for me. Still not 100% sure though.

I'm pretty good at D and I'm good at digging the puck (ball) out of corners, and if you want someone to rip a shot high and wide after taking a tape to tape pass for an open net, I'm your guy.

what a goalie thinks isn't necessarily true though.

seems quite evident that a back to back should be split between goalies.

one reference on this:

https://broadstreethockey...hton-goalies-back-to-back

i do think though that it makes sense to only play the backup only at one of the back-to-back games, and maybe a few others (non injury related )

Getting old and fat is what made me realise I can't hockey no more.

Knee surgery doesn't help, either.

Just existing hurts after playing only pickup ball hockey now.

Excellent questions!

Puppy stayed at a kennel. 10 days in (last Thursday), I'm sitting at an outdoor cafe in Paris, and the phone rings. Kennel says the doggie has kennel cough, I need to pick her up.

I calmly inform them dog got ALL her shots, gfy, must be something else. They say their vet says no, you gfy.

I call my vet. They say Bordatella no longer a standard shot - not really effective, too many strains, people now worried about over-vaccination of dogs. Oh great, I am franked.

Luckily the vet agreed to board her. And they now thing it is a lung infection - not kennel cough.

Because his lack of experience in the NHL leaves the chance that the Leafs have another season that Andersen has to face too many shots again. If they were still a lottery team, sure, give him the chance, but they need a guy with more proven results.
- Unholy_Goalie


I agree, I'd like Andersen to be starting 55-60 games.

But like I said, you can trade/sign journeymen NHL goalies anytime of the year; these are not hard deals to make. And wait, we actually have one in McBackup who's under contract for another year.

Plus there are a ton of expiring UFA goalies that'll likely be available all year round: Ryan Miller, Niemi, Cam Ward, and on and on.

We would actually likely get an asset back for taking on these aging cap dumps.

I like that they avoided the first "rebuild" from a decade ago.
