Anybody call the GDT yet?

I wanted to make it, but then was like ''Don't have time''. Now I have time because I'm not physically up for my lunch time walk against this brutal wind.

Let me know soon!

I'll start on it, but I won't hit send until I get the green light!

it’s not just about the 5 game sample though it’s just seeing a goalie that’s capable of winning games. you play a system that makes the opposing team’s offense predictable and you limit chances and you can win. We were terrible at that previously and were excellent now. I think a lot of goalies would have been able to win with this team and i believe that it didn’t need to be markstrom, but again I know why fitz wanted/had to get this guy.

i just think goalies are propped up by systems more than people acknowledge. how many goalies put up elite numbers under hitchcock, trotz, etc?

And I don't think this - I think systems help or hurt, but by and large a bad goalie is a bad goalie anywhere and likewise with a good goalie. A good goalie can be made into an average goalie in a bad system, an average goalie into a sorta bad goalie, and vice versa.

I think if you look at Hitch and Trotz's career you'll find plenty of evidence to support this. There's not a lot of goalies who change places/coaches and immediately go from bad to great or vice versa, and if they do, they usually don't stay that way (unless they're old and they're just finished).

A little bit under the radar right now but uh... Jesper Bratt - 21 points in the last 14 games? His rate has picked up with Jack out so maybe... I mean how cool would it be for a 6th round pick to become the first to hit 100 points in franchise history?

He was floundering until Cody Glass saved his season. Sure Glass has only been with NJ in four games but you know that Bratt was anticipating his arrival for 10 games before that.

:cool: Were you around when that Monkees hit first surfaced? Released on 11/12/1966. If so, it does my old heart good when I discover another poster in the same age group. LOL

I was a Jr. in High school and they were already on TV with their own idiotic show having premiered the first episode on 9/12/966. The show was really bad, but you always got a song or 2 that would be on the Billboard charts. Most of it was sing-along bubble gum, but they made a financial killing.

The Monkees have an interesting back story. While it doesn't hold up as an adult, I recall watching the reruns as a little kid and it was fun if goofy. Neil Diamond apparently wrote "I"m A Believer". You are somewhat older than me and I am envious of you experiencing all that music first hand. I'm not really paying attention until the later 1970s and really don't start buying my own records and going to shows until the 1980s. I enjoyed the 1980s bands like Van Halen the Police and U2 but missed all those classic acts from the 1970s in their heyday. In retrospect I'd trade every concert I've been to if I could have been at the Concert for Bangladesh.

The Monkees were a major influence on The Beatles!
