Yeah, to be fair, Shero really didn't get us into a lot of albatross contracts or things that were un-moveable...the worst of which might have been Scuderi and even that magically poofed into Trevor Daley...we never had a Dave Bolland at eleventy billion dollars per goal or anything...

Rob Scuderi, of the Ontario Reign in the American Hockey League?

[mikey]

Yeah that's him, 2x time Stanley Cup champ as a 20+ minute muncher...

[meow]

How many goals did he score again? Exactly

[Dickie Dunn]

As long as we continue to acknowledge that it took a work of actual magic and probably a couple souls sold to satan to turn Scuderi into Daley, then yes, Shero didn't get us into a lot of albatross or unmoveable contracts.

[dodint]

Yeah that's him, 2x time Stanley Cup champ as a 20+ minute muncher...

No denying that. It's not his fault he got old.

Just saying, if you're back in 2014 and you suddenly FFWD to now and see Daley sitting in Rob's stall you can't help but be tickled.

[mikey]

As the old saying goes: I am just pink with tickles...


Absolutely nothing wrong with that one...

[meow]

I've always wondered exactly what the hell happened with Daley in Chicago. It had to be something. Maybe his mother being sick? A guy just doesn't forget how to play, then magically get it back without a legitimate reason.

[Dickie Dunn]

[Silentom]

Wasn't he just not getting the ice time?

[mikey]

I think he was used in a defensive role mostly...and just didn't mesh with their parts I guess...look at who Chicago has used on the bottom pair over the years...maybe he was too good...? He couldn't get into a rhythm because of the lack of minutes? Partner that didn't complement him in any way...?

He was not good there though.

[Beveridge]

I thought it was mainly he likes to play the off side and that isn't where Chicago was playing him.

[Rylan]

So...it doesn't bother anyone that the 21st best goalie of all time is sitting on the bench tonight...at least according to NHL Network's crack team...and by crack team I mean they freebased crack and made the worst list I have ever seen by any remotely reputable source....



Bunny Larocque....a backup goalie...

I am a history nut, I have researched and contirbuted to very deliberate lists that took months to put together, so I am sensitive to these things...but this is easily the worst list I have seen from anyone that evidently works in or around the game...

This list causes every disease in history. Border over Hasek starts my hate and it just builds from there.

[Dickie Dunn]

Looks accurate to me.

[MR25]

Tim Thomas

[Silentom]

Wth is Holtby on there? He's good, but he ain't won sht, yet.

"He died of brain cancer at age 40 in his hometown of Hull, Quebec."

Wth is Holtby on there? He's good, but he ain't won sht, yet.

He won a Vezina and was a First-Team All-Star last year...which more than a number of those guys can say actually...

[Gaucho]

Has Fleury ever been a Vezina finalist?

[mikey]

In 2011, Fleury received one third place vote for the Vezina (so t-8th technically), in 2012 he received one more of the same (t-7th technically)...

So...no, not really...

[Silentom]

Two cups > than one Vezinia.

[Dickie Dunn]

Bet that's more votes than Bunny Larocque got, which is why Fleury is ahead of him on the list.
