Sabres are 15-2-1....and before tonight they won 4 in a row without their top 2 defense pairing..I know who has the best goaltending. Wins are the only stat that matters to a goalie. Biron let in 4 against the flyers the other night but did you happen to catch the save he made with 3 minutes left on a 3 on 0 for the flyers...thats the kind of goaltending that wins you hockey games. Marty looked fine tonight against ottawa. He stopped 2 clean cut breakaways in the first and the last 2 goals that were scored were incredible deflections by the sens. Once Miller comes back you can bank on another 5-7 game winning streak for the Sabres which will further distance themselves from the pack in the North East.

of course all that goalies care about is winning...but the best way they can contribute to winning is to have as high a save % as possible...
Wins, is a team stat...
GAA and Save % are goalie stats...
what's so hard to understand about that?
and if you still don't believe that Montreal has better goaltending, then look at this stat:
THROUGH 17 games of play:
Montreal Goals Against: 48 (goals for 56)
Buffalo Goals Against: 51 (goals for 80)

Everyone loves their hometown boys. Cant fault anyone for that, but I still have a hard time thinking that every team in the NE wouldnt deal their starting goalie for Ryan Miller straight up right this second! By the way Im not going to mention that Buffalo's #1 and #2 D-Men have been out of the lineup. I just wont do it. :mrgreen:

Yeah, maybe not Emery......but I have no idea why the Sens signed Gerber when Emery played well when Hasek went down last season. And look at his numbers this year vs Gerber's. YIKES!

I think Emery at least deserved a chance to prove himself this year, Ottawa would have been better to wait I think, plus the money they shelled out for Gerber could have been better spent elsewhere. And if Emery did shit the bed, there are still good goalies out there that they could have dealt for or signed. I wonder how much they miss Chara now? Say what you want about him, but he has presence and desire to win.

Leafs at Boston tonight. Go Leafs Go!!
Anybody know if they might give Raycroft the start? I got him in my fantasy league. Maybe he's still recovering from his, what is it, groin pull?

Its a groin strain/pull thingy, and according to TSN he wont be good to go.. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname=">http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname=</a><!-- m --> Aubin seems to be a reliable back-up, the way the Leafs are going right now I wouldnt worry too much, especially against the Bruins, they are the shits, and I love it!!
