Did you somehow get the mistaken impression that someone here gave a shit what you said?

You guys can't be seriously bashing Hutton. The guy gave up 4 goals to BC all season, making 30+ saves in 2 of the contests (one win and one loss). I remember thinking he was the best opposing goalie I had seen all season in the game at BC because it seemed like the guy was going to steal yet another game from us for Lowell. He was one of the major reasons why Lowell was even sniffing home ice and a chance at the Garden last season. His offense didn't exactly give him a chance to play in big games either, so you can't hold that against him. You also can't bash Hutton/Hamilton (whoever it was that started) for allowing only 1 goal to that stacked BU team in '09 and for Hockey East making a new rule that banned Lowell from scoring any goals in the Championship Game.

That being said, I'd rather have Muse than Hutton, mostly because I'm a BC fan and the guy has a postseason resumé that speaks for itself. It's not absolutely crazy if someone decides they'd rather have Hutton, since he's proven that he can step up when his team needs him to as well.

Also with the point about Schneider not winning a national title...his team scored exactly 2 goals for him in his 2 national title game appearances. Not to say Muse hasn't played great in the postseason, but he definitely did get a lot more help offensively than Schneider did in his title games, so it's hard to compare those two.

No one 's bashing Hutton. He's a good goalie, but given the choice between him or Muse, I'm taking Muse. The guy simply wins when it counts.

Both quotes are true. He DID choke in Orono, didn't he? Where did I say Hutton sucked? Go roll up a fat one if you haven't already...

May I ask how he choked? He had a 1.95 GAA in the three games, and a 92.9% save rate.

You said no one was bashing him. And yet you "couldn't believe" Hutton and Muse were being used in the same sentence. Sorry maybe it wasn't what you were intending but in my book that's bashing Hutton. Especially considering statistically he was a more solid goaltender last year.

And no you didn't say he sucked, but then again, that wasn't the question in the first place. Kinda of like Hutton v. Muse was never the original point, nor was it which was better in the big game, or who you would choose etc etc.

Slasher, I'm not sure if you are aware at how much you stray from the original topic ,you may want to have that looked at fella. Adult ADA is a problem for many a person. Just remember... you are not alone.

You know because he gave up 2 goals and 3 goals to Maine...but at least he didn't choke nearly as bad as Muse giving up 6 :eek:

Interesting part is that the "big game goalie" gave up exactly the same number of goals to Maine in a single game as the choker did in 3 big games?

But, it all comes down to the "eyeball" test...right Nick and Slasher?

Did he not blow a three game series when Lowell won Game 1? Did he not allow the game tying goal in the waning moments of game 3 and then lose in OT? Statistically he did fine, but he the guy isn't a winner. I'll take the guy who can win when it counts.

Muse allowed how many goals to Miami and Wisconsin? Winners play their best when it counts. Any goalie can beat Merrimack or UMass in November...

This thread (and the initial comment about Hutton) is about the regular season though, so Muse's postseason performance (which until this most recent Frozen Four I don't think you can call anything but "inconsistent"; yes, BC won, but how often was it a result of his performance?) isn't applicable. I believe the original point was that Lowell.

Why not compare apples to apples.

Maine was a common opponent at the exact same time of year for both.

Oh and FYI, actually BC lost to MC on November 1st, so clearly Muse couldn't.

I'm not bringing up Muse in my comments right now at all, so that's irrelevant. But you're basically saying that it's all his fault that they lost ... wow.

You know, you're right to a point. "Choking" is too strong a word, so I'll backtrack on that. Lets just say he didn't get the job done. He's a good goalie, but he's not the guy I want in net for my team in a big game.
