7 out out of 15 games with a sv% of .900 or under and 6 out of 15 games giving up 3 or more goals. Probably not what the Blue had in mind when they made the trade, eh!
-
Terminus = cannibals is my guess.
Did you see all the skulls,spines,rib cages bones inside that caged area when Rick, Machone, Daryl, Carl were running around being shot at.
-
Nope. He'll be back. He'll likely rest tomorrow which should give him the three day break.
You are right, he is falling back to his normal self. It doesn't get easier for STL this week, @Pit, @Tor, then Min and Dal at home.

Looks good. I like the small dark crossed sabres within the blue on the top.

I didn't compare them at all. Please manufacture your outrage for someone else. My point was that I didn't like it that even one of MLB's all-time great players (Rivera) wore a number that was honored, retired, reserved and associated with one of the most important players in the history of the game. I don't see Rivera as disrespectful, but I think it cheapens the gesture of retiring that number. If the Sabres team and the players around it don't think it's a bit soon to re-use the number of the departed 2nd best goaltender in franchise history, no big deal. I am entitled to my own opinion and if I were in the locker room I might ask Neuvirth to hold up.
Mo wore 42 before MLB retired it in 1997. Anybody already wearing it was allowed to keep wearing it. Mo was the last one, and no one will ever wear 42 in MLB again.

Jaroslav Halak and Chris Stewart are on the ice w/the #Sabres this morning.
...and Jeremy White just said they are trying to trade Halak to the Wild. Giddyup!

Murray obviously went over PLF's head to get the Ott/Miller deal done. In effect, PLF did his job too well; he hired a pittbull of a GM.
PLF didn't like the move, decides to quit after learning Pegula is an unrepentant meddler.
During the Leafs/Habs 1st int. tonight Don Cherry eluded to the bolded also. Said something to the effect of TM going over/around/under PLF to the owner about the trade, and that was why PLF left.

On a flight from Detroit to Orlando in 1998 or 1999 my seat was among the Orlando Solar Bears hockey team of the IHL. I made small hockey talk with some of them but most of them were napping or had head phones on. When I found out who they were, i couldn't believe it, as they were just young looking teenage kids. They were all cool and that was a good flight.
-
You guessed 98% of the NHL falls in between those heights but named seven players with an added etc. Seven players is over one percent of the players in the league.
But you're right. I just found that slightly funny.
Yeah, I don't know how many players are in the league. I could figure it out it's not hard, I just kinda estimated though.
-
Unless there are an inordinate amount of pucks going into the net above a goaltender's head when down in the butterfly, I'm going to guess that the reason goaltenders are around that height isn't necessarily because GM's prefer them, but because of the bell curve of goaltenders heights. Somebody as short an Enroth is as common as Jacob Markstrom is tall.
Yes. 4 inches either way from 6' is 5'8" to 6'4". I don't know but I'm guessing about 98% of the NHL falls between those heights. There are exceptions, Gerbe, St Louis, Gionta, John Scott, Myers, Chara, Bishop etc. That's why I used 6', no rhyme or reason just thought it was middle of the road as far as height goes.
-
What prompted you to set the bar at 6'?
because 6' seems to be middle of the road in the NHL world

Thanks for the information - That's funny about CW - because my friend has the premium HD package with DirectTV, and he claims it wasn't on at all on 14. I wonder if it depends on the geographic location as to what is on 14? We live in the Southern Tier.
SD would be better than nothing, but it's ridiculous that Channel 13 didn't carry it ON 13! That way everyone could have watched it, in HD, and there would have been no issues for anyone.
Could have been a location thing, it was on in Monroe county.
-
Yeah, we have a much better representative sample size for Miller's dearth of shut outs. :) I took a great deal of math in college, including two statistics courses, so I am very well versed in mean, standard deviation, statistical distributions, etc.
Maybe I'm being too harsh because I was ticked off that yesterday's SU game got postponed to 7 pm, and the idiot-savant programming manager at Channel 13 in Rochester elected not to carry it,but bumped it to their B-channel, WHAM-CW or whatever, a station I don't get on DISH. I'm still seething mad about that one!
Allegedly, DIRECT TV viewers could watch it, but I have a friend down the street with DIRECT, I was going to go there to watch and he checked channel 14, and he couldn't get it either. :(
I have DirecTV and it was on channel 14 CW, whatever that means. It was NOT however in HD, so the quality sucked but I got to watch it atleast.
-
Plenty of good goalies over the past 20 years who were way under 6 feet tall. Only now has it become an issue because the reality of RM leaving is real. What's next to pick on the guy about? The height thing is really kind of non issue. If it was JE would not have ever made it to the NHL let alone play in 73 games so far.
-
I do feel bad for Millsie, that was probably the last game he plays in this tourney...
Boohoo :cry:
-
I will sum up your anti-miller argument with the following video clip:
Oh yay, another immature video insult.
-
Nope, because historical stats say as much despite what YOU might think. Again, I'm not saying he can't, I'm saying the Miller bar has been set pretty high.
but but but according to you JE haters JE doesn't have enough of a sample size yet, right! That's what you all have been saying. Hmmm, hypocritical much.
-
OMG, you guys whining and jonseing for RM to play sound pathetic and desperate. It's comical, almost like someone took away your pacifier. Wow!
-
Interesting indeed. We all know what Miller became despite a quite pedestrian start to his NHL career. Will Enroth be able to do the same? The odds aren't with him.
Why? because YOU say they are not. Gimme a break!
-
In Miller's first 73 starts (spread over three years plus the first ten games of a fourth year):
2.71 GAA, .894 SV%, 42-25-3-1. Two shutouts.
In Enroth's first 73 games (every start of his career so far stretched over four years plus one game from a fifth year):
2.76 GAA, .912 SV%, 22-30-12. Three shutouts.
Enroth's record looks so low there because there were ten appearances during that time in which he did not start. Miller started his first 109 appearances.
This does not include the playoffs.
Miller's age in that time spanned from 22-26 due to the lockout.
Enroth's age in that time spanned from 22-25.
Interesting to say the least.
I also think RM had a way better supporting cast, team around him in his beginnings, where JE not so much.
-
Winnin' all them games.
....cause that defense is stellar in front of him...
-
Not even making this up. When I said population 2 or 3 I thought of you haha
Were you now, good for you!
See the problem with all the RM fan boys is not being able to cope with the fact he is about to be gone. The coping process has now gone to unrealistic, unproven fabricated made up Enroth bashing about his size. Once that is beaten to death, what will be the next Enroth bashing topic? Even strength goals against? PP goals against? more bad rebound control? Will you use the "crap defense infront of him" excuse like you use for RM? or no it's all Enroths fault? Which will it be? The guy needs to be given the opportunity to actually see if he do the job. Until the nobody knows if he will succeed or fail.
-
Nope, you are the primary person who acts complete illogical to our goalie situation. Most of the enroth jokes is because of your love affair with him as spouting save percentages.
There isn't a Ryan miller fan club. We like our number 1 franchise goalie more than his unproven backup. Hate to break it to you, the only fan club is the enroth fan club, population 2 or 3
ignorance is bliss

Uh oh Ryan starting to throw his new teammates under the bus? Might not be good for the Blues going forward.
