Guy's been a starter in the NHL for seven years; more likely than not, we're looking at the finished product.

(But, the fact that he had two crappy games in a row doesn't mean he's a crappy goalie in general. Everyone has a stinker here and there.)

Goalies can be late bloomers though. Not every goalie has success early like Patrick Roy did. Fleury is 27 so if he is going to take his game to the next level the time is now. I think he can do it but you might be right maybe we have seen the finished product. Should be interesting to see how he responds tomorrow now that he has a little something to build on.

I look at it as being a QB. Once they've seen EVERYTHING, they CAN be great, if they have the raw talent. Fleury has the raw talent, can he use experience to get better? Many of the better QBs in the NFL are older, because they've seen all the fads, all the schemes, all the angles. Why not goalies?

Amazing how bad this team has gotten since the all-star break.

2nd period they've actually looked good and have controlled play (holy crap a penalty was killed!). Of course, this means the Blues will score in the waning minutes while the Sharks stay off the board.

3 on 2 chance and you pass it backwards. You ****ing ***holes. Drive the ****ing net.

I'd be ok with that if it was a cross ice pass, but the guy was directly behind him, gaining no sight/line advantage at all.

Elliott's going to have a very sore sternum tomorrow.

If I see another freaking shutout of the Sharks by the Blues I'm rooting for the Kings from here on out. Not really, but seriously guys, this is embarrassing.

F* Hockey :mad:


I don't get how the Hawks can press the Coyotes for 10 straight minutes, then just fall back and take it for 40 minutes, then flip the switch the other way for the final 10 only to have the OT end like that....
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Pick Your Overtime Winners!

Will no one rid me of this floating $6.9 million forward? Seriously, Marleau, when we said we wanted you on the scoresheet, we didn't mean take a stupid effing penalty 200 feet from your own net.

I'd fire Woodcroft tonight and offer the assistant job to Roenick. Either Marleau gets ****ed and actually tries playing hockey again or he'll be willing to waive his NMC. Either scenario works.
