    Can't wait to see all the detractors railing against the Bauer holder system.

    Interchangeable? No. There is a huge difference between the elites and the rest. Confidence in your goaltender to stop the ones he should and bail you out is enormous. It lets players do their jobs instead of do anything to prevent a shot. Yes, a team needs balance but a goalie on a run can take a team further than any other streaking player.

    From what I've heard thru the grapevine, within another year or two all of the top level skates will essentially be "custom" and shops will only be able to stock 2nd from top down, all as part of manufacturers' efforts to manage inventory control.

    "Goaltending is sort of irrelevant........." I stopped reading there.

    You could basically say the same thing about every team in the playoffs. Goaltending is a huge factor. Teams might be able to overcome a faltering goaltender for short stretches (witness: Bruins) but it always catches up to them.

    There are 2 ways teams can come off of the long layoff that these teams had; rested and hungry or tight and rusty. Last night we saw both.

    It will be a short leash against Tampa or it will be a short series.

    A young team got farther than even their coach expected in this series. They add a little veteran presence on the blue line and get another year older and they'll make a push next year. DeBrusk really showed something in this series.

    They're trying to be too fine given how Andersen has played the last couple of games. Edit: I owe it to the guy to get his name correct.

    I don't care for Wingels with Krejci and DeBrusk. I would much prefer Rick Nash or Donato on that line. How many plays last night died because Wingels can't match the skill of the other two? He is a nice plugger but shouldn't be riding on the second line. And if Krug pounds one more shot into shin pads I'm going to personally go down there and revoke his shooting privileges.

    I wonder if Giroux would have had a DPOS call on the Hagelin hit if the Flyers hadn't been eliminated. He definitely appeared to raise up and obviously Hagelin was leaking from the mouth.

    If the Bruins came out in the first like they did in the third then they would have blown the Leafs out of the building. They need to start the game with that kind of urgency.
  13. chippa13
    I believe that is basically the entire thinking behind the True skate.
  14. chippa13
    And Matthews doesn't really have the benefit of veteran examples to really learn from that a guy like DeBrusk does in the Boston room.
  15. chippa13
    Andersson definitely pulled off some larceny in game 3. The playoffs are all about goaltending and power plays.
  16. chippa13
    Body language says TO is done. I hate to see that out of a young talent like Matthews.
  17. chippa13
    The call on Hornqvist was spot on. He made no contact with head and boards and tossed his head back like he had. I immediately called that a flop at the sports bar before any replay.

    A few weeks on these and this steel holds an edge like nothing I've been on before.

    He's Marchand Lite, all the stupid, half the ability.
  20. chippa13
    Sure, if he is a bonafide leader that can mentor the kids. Kovalchuk is not that.
  21. chippa13
    Signing a 35 year old guy isn't exactly how one rebuilds a franchise.
  22. chippa13
    If he owns a store then why doesn't he just develop a relationship with True and save himself the "perceived" aggravation?
  23. chippa13
    The employee probably made the assumption that someone looking to add the integrated shot blockers is someone who already wears some form of them and would know they will add some weight.
  24. chippa13
    I'm going Bruins in 6 but I can see this series being tight and coming down to the wire.

    Longer options and stiffer flexes are also available thru MyBauer.
