  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
It's unfortunate because the offense will likely get at least 4 tonight, which usually means 2 points. Tonight unfortunately, 4 goals scored likely gets them 0 points.

They've had since 2012 to draft someone to become a competent backup. They haven't. Plenty of guys during that time in every draft who've become/are becoming solid NHL goalies
you mean since they drafted possibly the top 5 goalie of the modern generation of hockey? They went from Bishop who had Vasy backing him up, to Vasy starting. A 23 year starting goalie who just dominated. You support him with veteran presence. Now, we have drafted Ingram and Martin off the top of my head as drafted goalies, maybe Martin was a FA signing, but them developing or playing in the NHL didn't fit our timeline of pushing for cups. Having Vasy who was playing 60+ a year and coming out with 30+ wins a year, the team decided to spend more money on Defense and Forwards than backup goaltending. It just was lower down the line for drafting since Vasy was so young and stable.
