MAF and Antti Niemi are my two favorite goalies of all time because Chris Osgood is no longer the worst goalie to win a cup :madmax:

Vegas is going to draft Doan to make him feel better about himself and also because they don't have any real players worth taking.

not really. i wanted the preds to win but didn't really give a poo poo in the end. it's just an objective fact that rinne is a much better goalie than fleury, and that fleury is a mediocre goaltender.

burmistrov is exposed which is a head scratcher considering he put up 14 points in 26 games with the coyotes. the alternative pick is apparently brad richardson who had tryamkin fall on him and break his leg during the season

the 2 main coyotes beat writers are making it sound like doan's really not happy although not holding it against the team. sort of funny when he said this after the trade deadline:

“Not a big market for a 40-year-old, fourth liner who only wants to go to a contender,”

He might be the worst goalie to win the cup, which is different than being the goalie with the worst cup-winning run. I'm not sure who the latter is tbh, I think most cup-winning runs tend to be good to outstanding, can't really think of a truly bad cup-winning run in the past 20 years or so

Rinne is a career 917.

Fleury is a career 908.

Pittsburgh defeated Nashville, therefore they have the superior team.

Rinne's stats are better behind a worse team, ergo Fleury blows.

like an hour after news broke about doan they were spinning it like they didn't give a poo poo and weren't going to offer him a front office job but now i guess they did. sort of stupid to get all worked up over it when right now it sounds like he still wants to play but hey,

His SV% was below 908 like twice in the last ten years and the only reason his career average is 908 is due to his first two years back when the pens blew terribly.

Do you think that .09 matters at all to Rinne? I wonder if he'd swap that 9 100ths of a percent for a Cup

Hey Krime, there's an alleged sell sheet going around for the Vegas team store that says the authentic-level Adidas jerseys will cost $200 blank or $265 customized. That line up with anything you've heard? I mean if that's true it's basically $100 cheaper than they were this season.

Yeah. Based on bookings and the catalogue the prices were expected to come down from where they were.

I'm really curious what "Authentic" means to Adidas retail. Reebok had Retail authentic made in the Philippines that didnt have reinforced elbows and other minor changes and then the on ice authentics that were made in Canada that you kinda had to luck into.

So in your estimation, Chris Osgood is a better goalie than say, Mikka Kiprusoff? Osgood has 3 cups, Kipper has zero.

You sound like those dumbasses who argue that one guy with 1000 pts and 4 cups is a better player than a guy with 1600 and 1 cup. This Penguins team could have had a number of goalies in the league that are about Fleury's level of talent (or slightly worse), they still would have won the cup because of their fantastic forward depth. If Fleury's really better, ask yourself if he still would have won the cup if he'd been Nashville's goalie and vice versa with Rinne.
