Belfour/shootouts

[Chadd 916]

At this point there has to be some talk of Tellqvist coming in for shootouts from now on.

[mack 44]

You'd think he'd stop one accidentally at least. He needs to get back on the wagon.

[golfpuck 0]

he does the same thing every shoot out..

backs in the net, and butterflies as wide as he can, bending at the waist, leaving the 5 hole and top corners wide open..

did it for both goals tonight in the shoot out agains tampa

is there any team worse than the leafs in the shoot out?

Dallas are sick, Jokinen 8 for 8 and Turco has not let a single goal in so far (execpt the Zetterberg shot were he lost/trew his stick at the puck and they awarded a goal)

[Patrick67 1]

And for those wondering, Hedberg has let in 4 of the 5 GA, in the shootout's.

8 for 8 <- shouldn't seem possible for any guy in the NHL, crazy ass Finn :D

The Leafs hasn't scored too many goals in shoot out competitions either.

[Eazy_b97 1]

Telly worse, if you can imagine. He's too small in the net (Same with Belfour) and has to work too hard to make saves.

Sundin's garbage on shoot-outs, he's only got 2 moves. His weak backhand move and the wait'em out, high glove shot. They'd be best off having Wellwood, Stajan and one of Steen, Poni or possibly a D man shooting. All of their "scorers" tend to have similar philosophy's and are more hard nosed goal scorers than "fancy" sniper types. Look at Lindros, O'Neill, Sundin, Tucker, these aren't guys who score alot of "pretty" goals.

[DarkStar50 679]

Don't any of the Leafs Euros have sweet 1-on-1 moves? You mentioned Poni but isn't there anyone else from across the pond with that stuff in their arsenal? Euros can always dangle. I think its in the water.......

[Eazy_b97 1]

They don't have anyone good European.

Tucks - Sundin - Steen

Poni - Allison - Antropov

Domi - Wellwood - Kilger

Wilm - Stajan - Belak

All the Euro's are on one line, Poni's decent, but is mostly a shooter, I haven't seen Antro much at all. Steen's pretty decent. I don't consider Sundin a Euro anymore :) I can't think of any in the system either, all of their forward prospects are Canadian. Kind've odd since Cherry ripped into'em for never picking North Americans. Chow's in the doghouse and rarely plays.

Definitely the SO has made a big difference for Dallas in the standings. They're 8 points ahead of LA because of it.

[mack 44]

Such a simple move, too, but Jokinen is just filthy on shootouts.

[McCabe24 0]

Why they don't let Wellwood shoot is beyond me, same goes for O'Neill. At least Quinn got over letting Allison shoot though, now that was terrible.

[Chadd 916]

Such a simple move, too, but Jokinen is just filthy on shootouts.

Zubov is slick too

[analog999 0]

I like Zubov, but he's not as slick as Jokinen. Anyone got a video of Jokinen's 8?

[McCabe24 0]

Doesn't he just come in on his off wing every time and go blocker side or tuck it in with one hand on the stick?

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

Yep...Forsberg's "stamp" move.

[DarkStar50 679]

Anybody see the AHLer pull that move off last night in skills comp and bank it in off the post?

This was on Center Ice last night.

BTW, the Habs were on Center Ice last night in French. They are just as bad no matter what the language is.

I would say that Zubov is just as slick as Jokinen considering that Zubov is a defenseman.

Here is a video of one of Jokinen's shoot goals and his comments on it.

If Telly wasn't stamped as the "temp" between Belfour and Pogge/Rask, I'd definately suggest bring in Czechmanek as a back-up. He's supposed to be unbelievable on shootouts.
