NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

The problem with goalies isn't their value, but their inconsistency.
They're obviously the most important player on a team, a bad goalie can sink a good team.
But how many goalies play at a high level for most of a decade?

I think the physical demands of the position causes many to break down, especially if they're overused (60+ games a season) and not given enough time to heal.

Funny how years ago goalies played 60-70 games. Didn't have the workout habits, nutrition, in much better shape, better trainers and physical therapy, and everything in between. Now with all that they can't handle it. Makes me laugh.

Just like pitchers now can't more than 6/7 or 200 innings.

I chuckled to see Seattle were losing at home, then I remembered they fired Hak and realized I don’t mind the Krackers now.

Why is there a game on in the middle of the day

 

[Curufinwe]

Seattle is now coached by Skinner from The X-Files!

Oh god, that’s Blysma

No that’s actually the Blues new coach, Drew Bannister.

I'll be honest. Didn't even know that the season started today. The every year where the season starts on a Tuesday and the Flyers don't play until three days later is weird.

I did a double take when I saw the Flyers first game vs NHL opening night. I know we request to start the season on the west coast road trip, but why tf does it seem like we always start the season 3 or 4 days after everyone else does?
