Re: Hockey East 2010-2011

I'm not the one that keeps changing the parameters to argue my point. I made a single statement that you changed to argue your side. Hey I agree with you, Muse and Milner did better against HE teams, but that wasn't the original statement.

a) i wasnt changing the parameters, i was making an apples to apples comparison to show who was better and b) you seriously are an idiot, because you fail to grasp anything more than simple concepts.

first, your initial premise is completely wrong because, even using your 1st grade logic, hamilton is terrible and is no where near muse or milner.. so that alone makes it nearly improbable that he would be part of the best tandem.

second, even taking your flawed premise into consideration, your entire argument is based on simplistic measures that completely ignore strength of schedule.

the overall numbers are extremely comparable lowell: 2.32 GAA, .920 save % compared to BC 2.38 GAA, .910 save %. but when given the choice, no one would take hamilton before they took muse or milner - even if they took hutton first. so you are taking hutton's great save % and extending it to illogical proportions.

the only thing you have left to argue is whether or not hutton's numbers were so good that you would be willing to take on hamilton's baggage anyway. i say they werent. which is why i'd say its a push. i think hutton is a great goalie, but i'd even take milan and rollheiser as a tandem before i took hamilton too.
 
Re: Hockey East 2010-2011

Ted Williams World Series stats: 5-25, .200 batting average, 2 R, 1 RBI, 0 extra base hits, 5 K, .200 Slugging Percentage, 0 rings.

I guess, contrary to popular belief, he isn't the greatest hitter to ever live.

The key word in this debate is tandem. I'd take Muse out of any of the four goalies in the discussion. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. However, based one what they've done right now, it's not farfetched to say that together Hutton and Hamilton are a better combination than Muse and Milner.

Your theory would make sense if I said that Hutton flat out sucked. I never said that. I've said that he's not better than Muse (and he's not). Teddy Ballgame was great, but he was a choker in the World Series. He was, though, good enough to get his team to the Series in 1946. Hutton never got his team anywhere. Its not like Hutton got to the Final and failed that would be a better argument for using the Teddy example).

Muse is Tom Brady and Derek Jeter. Regular season stats that dont blow you away (eliminating Brady in 07) but their postseason results are off the charts.
 
Re: Hockey East 2010-2011

You can't? So if Ray Bourque never went to Colorado and won the cup then he wouldn't be in the running for one of the best defensemen ever?

Bourque led his team to the Stanley Cup Finals twice in Boston and should have won a Cup if not for the Penguins. Comparing Hutton to Bourque, is well, you know..INSANE.

You eliminated games ( post season at that ) where Muse got schooled. That's a real apples to apples comparison.


first, your initial premise is completely wrong because, even using your 1st grade logic, hamilton is terrible and is no where near muse or milner.. so that alone makes it nearly improbable that he would be part of the best tandem.

Hamilton is terrible? Really a mid 2 GAA and .900+ save % is terrible? John would you take Hamilton if he decided to go play at PC? If I remember right he also held a powerhouse BU team to 1 controversial goal in the HE finals. Yup freaking bum, why would Blaise even let him suit up?

second, even taking your flawed premise into consideration, your entire argument is based on simplistic measures that completely ignore strength of schedule.

I think looking at the number of shots they were able to stop is a pretty neutral indicator. Wins losses, or GAA depend heavily on the competition but save % is pretty equal.

the overall numbers are extremely comparable lowell: 2.32 GAA, .920 save % compared to BC 2.38 GAA, .910 save %. but when given the choice, no one would take hamilton before they took muse or milner - even if they took hutton first. so you are taking hutton's great save % and extending it to illogical proportions.
This isn't a freaking hypothetical question? I think you are confused.


the only thing you have left to argue is whether or not hutton's numbers were so good that you would be willing to take on hamilton's baggage anyway. i say they werent. which is why i'd say its a push. i think hutton is a great goalie, but i'd even take milan and rollheiser as a tandem before i took hamilton too.

So you think Milan and Rollheiser were a better tandem then Hutton and Hamilton last season? Sorry but I would disagree with that.

I'm not sure you even understand the question, you better go back and read the thread...especially before you go calling other people idiots.

BAHHAHAHHHAA,

But by your logic he choked on the big stage when it mattered most... just like Hutton against ME right??

ANd you think I am insane, well I guess I am a little putting this much effort into defending a UML goalie but whatever.
 
Re: Hockey East 2010-2011

You said his name didn't even belong in the same sentence as Muse...

And I stand by that. Hutton cannot be used in the same sentence with John Muse. Muse is a 2X national champion with a historically good postseason record.

No knock on Hutton, but I dont think there's a goaltender in the nation today who I would put in the same class as Muse. Doesn't mean they all suck.

What other BC players have 2 rings?

If you want to compare apples to apples why not look head to head?

Ooops, I see why.

Hutton : 4 goals in 3 games, 2 wins 1 loss 1.33GAA
Muse : 7 goals in 2 games, 2 losses no wins 3.5 GAA

Getting shellacked by Yale is a good? Of couse it is because Muse put them on his shoulders and single handly all by himself carried BC to a 9-7 win???
 
Re: Hockey East 2010-2011

The best penalty kill?

yes..............and as a side, they gave up 11 less goals in conference play than the second best goals against team, yes, UML:eek: 61 vs 72 or 18% less...............thats actually a pretty big gap when you think about it........

Forget Maine, Hutton couldn't get his team home ice in a relatively weak Hockey East conference.

Did you watch that game? Yale's 7 goals could not completely be put on Muse. Regardless, I never said Muse could walk on water and put him in Dryden's class. I said he's best netminder in the game today and no one is on his level. Period.
 
Re: Hockey East 2010-2011

But all of the goals against Hutton can be put directly on him??? I guess in Bizzarro world there are two sets of standards... one set for BC and one for the other 57 teams. I get it now, in that case you are absolutely right.
