Bet over 5.5 on game, was fine with losing if Caps won. Of course 3-2 after 2 1st period goals, whatever
Goalies that want to come out of the net and act like defenseman should be treated as such. Change my mind
There are currently 20 goalies with at least a 5m cap hit. How many of them would you say are worth it? 2022-23 Active NHL Players - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Vas Hellebuyck Shesterkin Ullmark Saros Varlamov (expensive backup but they have the best duo in the league and he still plays a lot) TBD: Murray Recency bias leaving Markstrom off the list but he'll be fine imo
Agreed. (Though honestly, I think Boston's defense is so good most mediocre goalies would put up great numbers behind them) So yeah, I'd say about 25-30%.
This was on a PK. Good play by Binnington. Took the hit, Blues got possession. Play moved on. No problem w what he did or Stall.
If stall hit Binnington it’s a penalty, if binngton does that everyone just thinks it’s cute. Goalies that leave the crease should be treated as skaters
We have already had this convo. you are dumb as fuck about it. Goalie pads aren't made to take contact. In fact, those pads make contact dangerous because they are so bulky it makes it easy for a skate or something to get caught and tear every ligament in a knee.
if they run like a running back or receiver you can hit them as such. Goalies can do anything they want and they’re so delicate you can’t even bump into them. Hell it’s so bad now they can come out of their crease to stop a puck and if they run into you, it’s no goal.
I'm normally on the side of protect goalies but at this point Binnington is clearly looking for contact
emery would kill billy smith but smith would still go. Emery was basically a nhl fighter dressed as a goalie, dude could take on anybody in the nhl
And I love emery for it, he was I am such a don cherry type but i loved emery so much, he fought this dude in the ahl for his teammate. I want more emery’s
Gallant takes Laf and Kakko out of the top 6 and the wheels totally fall off He’s officially on borrowed time
Zibanejad's line is scoring at more than twice the rate with Vesey on his wing than with Kakko. It might have hurt the underlying numbers, but it's certainly not hurting the results. Spoiler Kakko doesn't have the offensive tools to be a top line player
Kakko is the only Rangers forward that is actually a possession driver. Will the offense come? We’ll see. But every line he plays on becomes the only one that analytically looks halfway decent. But the Rangers have also defied analytics for over a decade now, so who knows
He fell off a cliff this year after being demoted to the 3rd line. Been absolutely awful the past couple weeks.
He played 26 minutes against Detroit last night, a third of which he spent trying to get Lucas Raymond to fight him.
It’s not fun. Despite their best effort, they didn’t blow it again. It blows my mind how this is pretty much the same team, except for 2 players and are so much worse defensively.
