Khudobins sv% pretty ugly... Ward would be getting eviscerated for it

 

[tarheelhockey]

Neither is Nash brah.

You're right.

I thought McGinn was supposed to be physical?

I'm just going to have to find myself a new giant, that's all.

Jordan is having a hell of a game too. Looks really strong on the puck.

Shhh...Khudobin's new and shiny, so he gets a pass.

It's not like Bobrovsky is killing it tonight either.

A $4 million difference in salary might have something to do with it.

NHL goaltenders shouldn't be putting up the SV% both goaltenders in the preseason, regardless of their salary.

But it's a good thing it's preseason and doesn't matter.

It's funny because you make excuses for Ward at every turn

 

[What the Faulk]

Only the good matters in the preseason.

Speaking of that, is this the normal CBJ radio guy? He's extremely homerish.

 

[AD Skinner]

It could just be that neither goalie really cares that much about their numbers in a preseason game... Bobrovsky especially has to be pretty sure his spot is locked up

Gleason makes me disappoint.

This stream is actually really good, they're not shooting with a potato like the Islanders did last week.

 

[Unsustainable]

Rask made huge strides last season with the Checkers, that light bulb went off, but sometimes I think he had concrete skates.

 

[Caniac125330]

The big thing to take away from this one I think is Rask's game. Obviously dented the score sheet with 2 goals and an assist and looked pretty good.

As I said, regardless of the team in front of them, both goaltenders haven't been at their best in the preseason. But yes, Ward does seem to be getting criticized for it, yet Khudobin's sparkling .833 SV% this game hasn't been mentioned at all.

Gleason makes me disappoint.

Having any kind of positive expectations for him is your problem.

 

[raynman]

Did the BJs just win a very important playoff game? Radio guy sure seemed to think so.

Isn't that what we're talking about right now?

Well Gleason wasn't very good. And it's obvious that Rask's line stood out, but here it is on paper.

Well, until this thread locks and hides the discussion forever. It's a conspiracy I say, a conspiracy!

One of the funniest things that announcer did was freaking out over Bob's save on a shot that would not game counted.
