    From the view today, yeah, it's kind of wild.  But without hindsight, not surprising at all.

    He was drafted well before the WJC that he was the best goalie at.  He also was not expected to be the starter of that Team Canada much less to be as studly as he's been.  He was firmly 3rd on the depth chart (if even that high) heading into camp.  Without Luongo's input, he very well might have gone undrafted.

    The Panthers have Bobrovsky on a ridiculous (bad) contract for 4 more years & also have Knight.  They're happy w/ what they have & managed to get an affordable top 6 winger for a very late 1st & a guy they don't have room for who only cost them a 7th originally.

    Fair enough.  It just seems that his CCHL and WJ A Challenge accolades would have merited a higher draft position.  And that adding another one at the WJC would have made the Panthers do everything they could to hold onto him.

     

    Here's hoping they regret trading him.

  2. I don't find the announcers on NESN all that biased. They gave Tallinder props on the play to keep it in for a few more seconds and called Savard a diver. Frankly I found the announcers on Tuesday (Jack Edwards and someone else) worse when they were talking about how a Bruins player should cheap shot a Sabres player when they got a chance.

     

    BTW, Mair's back.

  3. Max is like that- he creates so many quality scoring chances that even if he misses most of them, he's still scoring a lot of goals (and even when he doesn't, he is tiring out and frustrating the other team, which can be just as important).

    I forget who said "you don't score a goal on 100% of the shots you DON'T take" or something like that, but it's true. Throw it at the net and see what happens.

  4. They showed it coming off his leg and approaching the net but they never actually had a shot that showed the puck over the line. Im not sold that the puck actually went in the net. Miller is a fantasy nightmare when it comes to shutouts...

    I went into the back of the net, along the side, which obscured it.
