So you refused to address my point about Raycroft and his coach. Ya know, the one about Raycroft crapping the bed all year and STILL getting played by his coach. Gerber had better numbers than Raycroft. Just because Toronto has two shitty goalies doesn't mean Raycroft is any better than Gerber. Gerber didn't have the luxury of getting played NO MATTER WHAT but Raycroft did. Raycroft's backup was even worse than him. Ferguson Jr. really knows how to get great depth in goal. His starter is below average and his backup is below below average.

We all know that the All Star game is always based on play and NEVER A POPULARITY CONTEST! Good try, slugger. :wink:

Refused to address your point? Man, you are really thick sometimes. Go re-read my post. And if you don't understand what "And yeah, Gerber can control how much he plays, by, you know, playing better than the other goalie" means and how that applies to Raycroft and Aubin, well, I'm not going to draw you a picture.

So let me make this as basic as I can for you: in the question of who was a bigger bust between Raycroft and Gerber, I chose Gerber because (a) he has a fatter contract, and (b) he played himself into a backup role. Gerber may very well be a better goalie than Raycroft (they both suck), but Raycroft wasn't being paid $3.7 million to sit on the bench, was he? Get it?

Yeah, I guess Luongo would be exceedingly POPULAR if he was playing in a brand new city in the other conference, signed a huge contract, but was playing average. I hear that's how players get popular all the time, especially in new cities. Better luck next time, slugger.

You never talk this way outside of your home, do you? You seem like a loud internet talker. You're funny. You at least finally admitted that Gerber may be better than Raycroft.

You do know that you are wrong a considerable amount of time here on hipbase, right? You use stats to prove things YOU WANT to prove. Stats can be used to prove almost anything and they can be manipulated every which way. You do know that, right? You do know that Mats Sundin has never had any tangible success in the playoffs with the Leafs, yet you still maintain that he's "Captain Clutch" because he scores a few game winners in the regular season. Captain Clutch scored something like one goal in the last 20 games of the season when his team needed him the most this season and only turned it on last year when the Leafs were out of contention. You're aware of that, correct? A superstar leader doesn't score one goal in the last 20 games of the season. You rail on about how Buffalo would be knocked out by the Leafs but, as much as I hate Buffalo, deep down you know that if the Leafs made it into the playoffs, then Buffalo would have dusted them off in five games.

Better luck next year, Leafs. :thumb: Geez, for being such a storied franchise, they've been missing the playoffs a lot lately haven't they? :twisted:
