Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Y'all Got Any Good Goalies?

[OilerTitanFan]

Because they haven't been fine? When you've been stuck on a bad team like 6 years it takes a toll, lets see if Dostal still has the same numbers if the Ducks continue to suck for 6 more years. I doubt it.



This is obvious common sense to anyone, but some people are trying to twist themselves into a pretzel to deny it.

Riddle me this: How many Cups do Crosby and Malkin have without MAF and Murray? The answer is 0.

We may not be able to get that level of goaltending but we should at least try to get a tandem that is above average. This is obvious to most people except the geniuses in the Oilers front office.

Where is Murray now?
You need to look at the entire team makeup. Not just goalies.

Also if we had an RD trade brewing in the background it might be a good time to pull the trigger

Who needs that now. We GOT the Regu baby!

32 Thoughts: Soft talks underway between NHL, NHLPA for next CBA

The NHL Board of Governors meetings have wrapped and teams were left with the impression that the ride to the next CBA will be smoother. Elliotte Friedman discusses that, a possible 84-game season and more tidbits from around the league.

10. Vancouver is trying to find a better fit for Vincent Desharnais. It just hasn’t worked out as everyone hoped.

lol.

15. Alec Regula won’t be Edmonton’s last defensive move. They will consider both lefties and righties.

Tell us something we don't know, Elliot.

Right when Bouchard gets hurt. Sure. GM on the other side says, add another first since Bouchard is down.

Good time to pull the trigger and get fleeced an extra pick just because Bouchard ran into the post.

It’d be interesting (depending on your definition) if these two thoughts end up being linked.

Ran into the post is an interesting way of putting it.

Game 1 we allowed only 17 shots against and lost, Skinner .882
Game 2, Skinner with a .893
Game 3, Skinner with a .826

Skinner was absolutely a big part of the reason we don't have a Cup banner. Hard to win a series when your starter starts it like that.

2/3 bad games to start a series, ok fine maybe you can work with that, but 3/3 is virtually impossible to come back from.

Sather always used to say goaltending can lose you or win the other team one game in a series, and fine, but if it becomes two, you're out.

Three straight bad games in net is a death knell in the playoffs period, let alone the finals.

Keeping in mind that average sv% in the playoffs is usually like .915.

The average sv% in last year's playoffs was 0.905.

2 goalies with >4gp had a sv% higher than 0.915. Shersterkin and Swayman.

We need to readjust our expectations for goaltending statistics. Seravalli sai a few days ago that the league average right now is 0.894.
