Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

Absolutely. Well said.
I think even had they not traded those guys, they wouldn't be an elite team. And ya Edmonton is a good example. I do think they are also a bit of a team that overachieved last year, but I still think you make a valid point. I still would not have done that trade, if I were Chicago. I even said that in this thread when it happened. It surely would not have elevated them much, but at least better than they are (at least I think so). But like you are saying, they don't have the depth anymore. Schmaltz is a bit of a bright spot but the Sharp reunion was less than impressive. Keith seems to be struggling a bit and the goaltending injuries don't help.

 

Andersen is having a Vezina type season right now. Gibson cannot stay healthy.

wtf

 

Salary dump by the Sens and I’m guessing this gives LA some flexibility on the backend.

 

Not happy?

 

no but gabby had to go!

 

Doughty and Dion heads are to big to fit in a locker room!

 

Phaneuf is a pylon

 

Sloppy seconds

 

A better season maybe. A Vezina worthy season absolutely not. Leafs fans must be so used to terrible goaltending that they see a a half decent season and think its other worldy

 

Yea It's depressing being a fan.

 

Original.

 

Lot's of talk about Andersen getting a nomination for Vezina. Don't get salty. Remember he had a sewer month in October and yet is over a .920 save percentage. He is one of the top goalies right now.

That being said the goalie in Tampa will have to fuck up royally not to win the Vezina this year.

 

Not salty, just a realist. His stats for the year, which are all the matter, are meh in terms of likelihood for the Vezina or even a nomination.

 

He’s in that conversation right now, as in a conversation for the Vezina nominations from the media who I believe vote on the Vezina.

Anyways this is all based off an Andersen versus Gibson arguement. It’s tough to say who won or lost when neither team has a cup with either goalie and both still have lots of career left.

 

agree!


but so has doughty

 

Thats because your looking at a simple stat sheet. If you factor in the amount of shots / work he's had he is having a bitter season than any goalie since 2009 Cam Ward seeing all the rubber he is. Before that was Lou over 10 years ago
