Thanks for posting that. Now that i see it again, you can see he never made contact with him or as Shredder said, his sweater brushed him. That would explain why no review from the league. Philly must be a proud bunch.

Themediasmedia comments on S7 - Episode 3: Ian Mendes Goes Underground.

It really does amaze me how little the hockey world knows about the position of goaltender in the NHL. People talk about goalies stealing games with no proof that this is actually happening. What does that mean? Stopping more shots? More quality shots? More penalty kill shots?

Ian Mendes then commented on Tim Thomas having one, if not the best, seasons ever by a goalie last year. What is he basing this on?

If you are going to determine that Tim Thomas had one of the greatest goaltending seasons ever please be sure to mention ALL OF THE STATS that brought you to that conclusion. Save percentage ONLY, does not determine how good or bad a goalie was.

Yes he lead the league in save percentage but, a few big buts, would include that he was one of the WORST starting goalies in shootout save percentage. He only stopped 10 of 19 shots for a terrible .526 save percentage and his win loss record was 1 win and 5 losses in the shootout. Shouldn’t the so called best goalie in the league lead in this department since it is a one on one battle and it is where a goalie needs all skill sets to be successful, meaning no defense and defensive systems there to protect him. Goalies need to rely on footwork, save techniques, speed, gap control, positioning, etc.

Also, he was ranked 20th in penalty kill save percentage, or very, very, average. Goalies that had better PK save percentages than Thomas include Schneider, Theodore, Ward, Anderson, Johnson, Varlamov, to name a few. Boston was short handed the 4th fewest times which helps a goalie stats as well.

So, he had the best five on five save percentage. How would other goalies have faired with that Boston defense and defensive systems that include some guy named Chara. How would Vokoun faired on Boston and Thomas on Florida if they swithced roles last season? Vokoun allowed only 2 goals on 13 shots in the shootout for a save percentage of .846. Vokoun lead all number one goalies in penalty kill save percentage last season with a stellar .925 save percentage!

Again I ask, if Vokoun was on Boston and Thomas on Florida what happens? So who was the better goalie last season Vokoun or Thomas? Vokoun had Garrison, Weaver, Kulikov, McCabe, and Allen. Big deal!

Thomas was average last season on a good team! Vokoun was good on an average team. But the goalie and hockey world always finds a way to pick the winning goalie as the best and not the best goalie all around!

Mr Mendes should provide the entire stats to such bold statements!

Just realized that the background music is from the movie "Inception." So does this mean Ottawa fans are just dreaming?

I also don't have a problem with 2 to 3 hour shows.
Also... what the HELL is a "Hockey Pitch?"

Ralph Wiggum comments on S6 - Episode 22: Lt. Anderson, Reporting For Duty, SIR!

Ralph Wiggum — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 21:00:35 +0000

Please, no one hour shows! I think 2 to 3 hours is fine, as long as you still have stuff to talk about. You guys seem really worried about it, but I can think of only a couple of times (during the Emery v. Gerber debates) that I thought things dragged a bit. If you think about talk radio, they have longer shows every day of the week. Now those shows very often suck, but I'm sure if you boiled them down to 2 hours a week there'd be good content. Please don't artificially shorten the shows.

I laughed out loud while watching this. I couldn't believe when they cut back to it and zoomed in to make sure nobody missed it.

Too bad I had to turn the game off in the second period...

I agree that this could alienate Sens fans outside of Ottawa. Maybe this is a poorly conceived attempt by Sens org to humiliate Laff and Hab-itual loser fans that live in Ottawa to cheer for the home team. I always ask local Laff and Hab-itual pole smokers if Ottawa got a CFL or MLS team would they continue to cheer for the Argos, Als or TFC? There are bone heads in every town that cheer for teams other than the home team but Ottawa seems to suffer from this more than most. Even though it is exceedingly annoying to have these people live among us and calling these fools out is great, it cannot be at the expense of Ottawa fans from out of town.
Stay Strong, Stay Red.

Really, does the city pride really matter in today's world??? I've got lots of New Jersey, Pittsbugh and Boston fans around here who may have never even set foot in any of those places ...

Your team is your team. Why regionalize it????

I was at game 6 (with the RSU), and when I got home from that game my brother told me Ottawa sounded FAR louder than Pitt did on TV.

Sens fans are loud when things actually matter.

You really are not allowed to be loud at ScotiaBank Place... I know I am one of those rowdy ones, even without the beer, and am told to keep it down. It is not like I am cursing or anything. I actually got in trouble for cheering Comrie when we were playing Edmonton and all the Oilers fans were booing him. What is with that? You can't tell 1000 people to stop booing the home team but since I was the only one cheering him that was easy to stop. Anyway, that is not what you are blogging about but the franchise seems to want to put a lid on excessive crowd noise.

My sources in the media,(possibly the guy with a nickname like a cartoon bear) advise the SU negotiators narrowly avoided arbitration.What changed? I understand a certain Newfoundlander currently guesting on another podcast was considered for this position? And, are the contents of the current contract written on a certain body part?
Rumors abound!!

dadexter — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 16:46:21 +0000

One of my sources says that there's a clause attached to the contract, where if the Sens win the cup, Stooli gets a bonus. Rumours are that said bonus would include a "Heatley Sucks" jersey, a picture of Ray Emery and something about showers and bathing suits...

Can anyone confirm this?

I still don't get it... did he not wear the jersey on draft day?

BREAKING NEWS: The NHL have overturned the SU signing of Stooli (based on the cottage cheese clause) due to the overabundance of cheese already present in the Underground.

Stooli remains an unrestricted free agent and is currently in talks with various "Hate Speech" and "Douche-Bag" podcasts along with SU.

Alfie be praised!

I hope it's a two way deal. He's good when he's interested but some nights he pulls a kovalev and sits there disinterested.
