If the leaves do win tonight, can Domcha go down and recollect his jerseys that were "accidently" thrown on the ice?

Would they be in the lost and found?

black label

Why? We made this happen, karma ya' know, we taunted him until the team actually got good.

srika

it was a general statement...........

dom

And of course they lose. To the worst team in the league.

Yumcha

They didn't play the Oilers.

Fleury with his 6th shutout of the season last night, and it's not even the halfway point of the season

Isn't it amazing what team D can do for a goalie?!?? OMG.

AND OMG...he doesn't even need to be namebrand! OMG.

Yumcha

Cuz, lord knows, Scott Darling and Antti Raanta would be ECHL goalies if they played for the Deadmonton Oilers. But, on the Hawks, they have jaw-dropping GAA and save percentages.

Gee...I wonder.

And they don't play till Saturday, right?

Yumcha

Nope. But, they are definitely going somewhere!

Maybe srika got the the down-lo that the Hawks were flying to Columbus yesterday?

dom

Yes, goalies mean nothing. If Patrick Roy in his prime was on these Oilers they would be just as bad.

dom

Why even watch or talk about the Pens in the regular season? Their season starts in May. Until then its all pretty much an exhibition.

dom

And we all know Fleruy had NOTHING to do with the Pens playoff collapses the last few years. It was all on Team D. Those Beach Balls going through his legs was the D I tell you!!! The D!!!! Why did the Pens ever let the other team have the puck????

dom

Even though the Leaves allow 45 shots a night and allow plenty of great scoring chances their record is was it is because of Team D!!!! Those goalies standing on their heads mean nothing!!!! 45 shots a night is nothing!!!!

dom

It goes both ways Yumchah. You can post examples of teams with great team D that can win and I can post examples of teams with goalies that have to stand on their head to get them where they are. There's no one way to do it.
I hope you at least understand that.

Now where's Moog to slap you around a bit. I asked for that for Christmas.

Yumcha

Chill dude...if I'm snarking LIKE THAT, I'm probably horsing around. EVERYONE knows that a goalie can't let in a weaksauce goal in a tight game to sink the team. Duh.

That being said, our stupid argument from a couple years ago when you both told me that Vokoun would be the answer for Chicago was for a scenario where well, I felt if the Blackhawks shored up their defensive play, was not needed. They are built from the blueline and out and not from net.

Then, it just went plutonium on me and became so stupid to the point that Jennings Trophy winners became some standard of excellence. Again, I'm not against a great goalie...duh...if they can steal games awesome.

Take for example, the Oilers...they NEED a Patrick Roy or Dominator to steal them games EVERY night. But, those don't grow on trees...much easier to find players that compliment a good, sound structure and have a more average goalie instead.

That's all.



Now, don't be all bitter cuz your Leaves blew their win streak to the Canes, okay? Gosh.

Yumcha

And Moog will be back when the defense rests for Slapya Titsov.

dom

Merry Xmas

Yumcha

And look, if your Leaves beat my Hawks this weekend, well...you'll be extra happy, right? RIGHT!?!???

black label

I'll give the oilers a subban of the give us a winger who projects to score more than 13 goals a season.
















Then we'll give him away in 3 years because he doesn't like playing defense.

5 in a row!!!

woot!

Yumcha

Of late, every time srika posts in this thread, the Blackhawks lose...

dom

Just when you thought it was safe to stop throwing jerseys on the ice.

Yumcha

Well, the Leaves record against sub-500 teams is awful...but, good news is, they play Chicago tonight and they did beat the Hawks the last time they met.

All you need is to post and you're guaranteed a victory for the Syrups!

6 in a motherfuggin row!!!!

Yumcha

Well, that was entertaining. Not so much for dom maybe...but, that sure was entertaining.

Toews made Gardiner look like a pylon and then shoving him aside to score was probably the best goal of the game.

Yumcha

So, who blows a 5-2 lead? The Oilers.

I'll for months if this blatant losing on purpose to get McDavid or Eichel fails and the new lottery policy blows up in Edmonton's face and they draft #3 overall.

dom

You can also blame the Oilers for drafting Hall over Seguin. Then again, it wasn't as dumb as Boston trading Seguin. Now THAT was dumb. Like Leaves since 67 dumb.

Yumcha

Yup, idiot-pick by the Oilers...Hall is a good player...but, if you have two great prospects, TAKE THE CENTER.

dom

In defense of the Oil, most had Hall rated above Seguin at that time. But what was Boston's excuse? He partied too hard? Get tough on him dummies. And now, they'll suck for years. Like the Oliers.
