Sacco leaves Swayman in for 8 GA. Did he cross a line?

[Idiot Stick]

Sacco wanted to pull him at 7 but Swayman wanted to hold out for 8.5

I think this is the most liked post in HF boards history!

Not all goalies are as vain as Patrick Roy. Some goalies believe it is their duty to do the full game regardless of what happens

I never got Patrick Roy's case. "You left me in too long and I was so bad that I had no choice but to give up goals in those extra minutes I played".

There's a reason you have a backup goalie. He wasn't feeling it that night and thought it was time for the other guy. I have a harder time understanding why he was left in. I'm not sure what the point was in doing that other than to be alpha.
Patrick went on to win the cup that year with the Avs (Nordiques) and the Canadiens are still waiting for another one. It's like the hockey version of the curse of the Bambino

Korpi only gave up 4 tonight, that's progress

You’re sposed to leave him in for all those goals BEFORE you overpay him.

Sacco may not have but the puck sure did.

Does that make korpi the #1 by default of less suck ?

Korpisalo .901, 2.56 GAA
Swayman .885, 3.27 GAA

Just to be a dick:
Ullmark .903, 2.70 GAA, and on a heater.

This post is so good it was in the hall of fame before it was even written.

Good post- weird that it needs to be explained.

Also, I’m watchin faceoff and Swayman seems like a great dude. Hope he can bounce back, but maybe for another team.
