You might want to get yours checked

His shootout record is awful, and probably the worst of anyone w/ 10 or more decisions (11-24). Some of that is on him because he's something like 55th in so/sv% out of 85 active goalies. The rest is on the dismal Hurricanes shooters.

Oh, I'm not denying that he's awful in most one-on-one situations. I'm simply saying that anyone who believes they could do better against NHL shooters is either delusional or idiotic. Possibly both.

Or they shouldn't be wasting their time on a message board and should attempt to make the NHL themselves.

Oh God. I misread a Simpsons reference, I should drink less.

Tyler Myers really is a softie. I don't think I've ever seen someone play so small with that kind of size. It's tragic.

In fairness to him, isn't he like one of 8 people his size or larger to play in the NHL? And maybe 1 of those guys is even close to as talented.

Well, I spent a few seconds too many debating the merits of 'spotted' versus 'sighted', and look! It cost me.

EStaal backcheck sighting!
Eric backcheck spotted.
Ouch. Is it THAT rare?

Every fan base does this. It's OK for a guy for not being as skilled as Crosby. But not being a psycho kamikaze cannonball? Inexcusable.

This is quietly turning into a really good game. For all these teams lack in skill, they're making up in grit, and both goalies are putting on a show.
