I saw the deflection. I also saw it slowly trickle through his legs

Didn't go through his legs, check your eyes bud. The puck was going to the right side of the net and was deflected to the left from 5 feet out.
 
Between Eli Manning and Lundqvist who fell further? Eli is having the worse season but he was also the worse player (at least in the regular season).
 
Time to leave the thread. All the Hank haters are coming out to play. Let guys like Vanek shoot right in front of the net and get deflected but its Hanks fault. Learn to play defense so shots like that dont happen. Sad
 
Sure you can. MA Fleury, for example.

The Blackhawks made Cory Crawford and Ray Emery look like superstars last year.

Chris Osgood in 2008 (with a broken Hasek splitting time).

Give me a very good goalie and the cap room with it over an elite goalie. The only caveat is you need proper management as well. And, with the Rangers, we know we won't have that. So we're ****ed either way. But in an ideal world, give me a very good goalie (along with the cap room savings) over an 8.5M "superstar" goalie.

But is Lundqvist's cap hit really the problem with this team? Free cap space alone doesn't give you a good team. So what would we do with more cap room? We don't really need it for keeping our own players, we haven't lost one significant player due to cap trouble, so all we could do with it is sign more free agents. And I doubt that would put us over the top.

Our problem isn't managing the cap and keeping good players, it's getting good players. Letting Lundqvist go because of a couple million dollars wouldn't be any part of a solution, it would rather make things worse.

No, management is the problem. That's why I posted just that in that post. I was just saying what I'd prefer.
 
I feel we should always play Stepan Nash Richards on everything, all the time, forever
 
hahaha Boyle trying to be tough. he would get his ass kicked by Martin
