Around the NHL: Part XIII – Lamie Benn Edition

[Leonardo87]

3-0, .947 SV%, 1.56 GAA

Not bad so far.

Still not as good as this guy...

any NHL goalie can put up numbers like this in 3 games against an anemic offense with a 1st line and 3 4th lines. (the Islanders)

Mrazek was 5-3, .913 SV%, 2.22 GAA until he got hurt. Only played 6 more games than McElhinney. I'd say your assumption that he's not serviceable over the course of a whole series is a bit unfounded.

Carolina is a solid team, they have something going on right now. I wouldn't sleep on them and their speed.

Really surprised that wasn’t reviewed.

Couldve sworn that puck was in on that Benn wraparound. Shocked they didnt take a closer look at that.
Bennington was shaking his head and looked visibly pissed right after, he probably thought it was in and the game was over.

But yeah Benn was garbage the entire series. He looked completely outmatched and intimidated.

Yet again, the NHL proves what a joke it really is. I'm 99% certain that puck was over the line. Even if it wasn't, how did the officials in Toronto not stop play to at least look at it.

Other than Bishop, Dallas didn't deserve to win, but they still have a pretty strong argument that they actually won the game.

Is Mrazek still hurt?

because if he is, I seriously doubt McIllhenneys(sp?) ability to be serviceable over a full series

I finally paid enough attention to him to learn his spelling: McElhinney haha

I would snipe top right corner on this guy. He's leaving a little bit of daylight there.

Or bribe him with fish to let me sneak the puck past him.

A few angles looked like it didn't go in, then they showed one angle where it clearly looked liked it was. I was shocked they didn't review that.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Also, I'm all in on the Blues from here on out. Play Gloria.

He is an inconsistent career backup. 2.5 games doesn't change that. I will say though that if anybody has the defense to mask a mediocre goaltender, Its the Canes.

Brodeur?

Speaking of, I mentioned earlier this season that the Caps may have surpassed the Devils, but the Devils fans are here to make sure that doesn't happen.

They haven't shut up about our prospects since the lottery.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

And Philly just hired the man who coached that St. Louis team lol

As if Rick Nash is some kind of poster-child of what a player in decline is.
Players have always declined. Why attach Rick Nash's name to decline as if he was the first player ever to be less productive in the latter half of his career than in the first half?
Stop picking up players in the latter half of their career and expecting first half results.
I think the Rangers understand that chasing trailing results is a loser's game.

Wow, you're making a lot of assumptions like being a perrenial 50-60 point player in the best league in the world is a bad thing. Like honing your game to be more rounded is a bad thing. The associations are more about a player with a jumbo contract who isn't able to live up to his contract. Rick Nash was a great Ranger. He just wasn't the Rick Nash we thought or hoped we'd get but we got him in a great deal. Almost everyone agrees if his cap was like $5.75M he'd be exactly the player his contract made him out to be.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Everyone is looking past the worst thing about Dallas losing, it’s not about the draft pick, it’s about possibly Webster coming back here now

Just leave the fish at center ice and score on the empty net

I'm starting to think our WPG pick moving up just one spot isn't worth the B's winning so I'm starting to think pro- Sharks here

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Wait, St. Louis was practically dead last in early Jan?!

Had no clue they were that bad then.

31 is dead last.

When did Garth Snow come out of retirement?

 

[Fugazy]

Could use a nice bounce back with a Colorado win tonight.

Not going to lie, I am still grumpy.

The 4 hours of sleep isn't helping much either.

Evidently, not this guy...

You mean that guy who has a 50% stanley cup success rate?

I’ve rationalized last night into a binary option- this year’s 2nd and next year’s 1st from Dallas is better than this year’s 1st and next year’s 3rd. It makes it somewhat easier.

The one good think about Dallas being out is that I no longer have to hear Janmark's name, which for some reason made me think of Jamie Lundmark every time I heard it.

Since he was your boy I thought you would appreciate that.

 

[Machinehead]

For the most part, Dallas gave it all they had.

They're a good group.
