Shhhhh.....lots of folks round here don't like that conspiracy talk. Even though Bettman is the only commissioner to come right out and say he'd like to see certain teams win.

f***!!!!!!!!

Please floodgates.....open!!

Haven't looked "fast" in weeks.

That should do it. No time to hit the panic button but we don't look like the 2009 team as has been compared.

Halak is the greatest goaltender in NHL history. No one will EVER score on him again. EVER. ....man I'm starting to actually believe this

Remember when we all heard he radically changed his workout regiment and would be much faster? Maybe him being sick for three weeks is legit though. We'll see, I guess.

Are we talking 2009? Then yes, vaguely.

I did. I was hoping you would've done the same.

Insult me if it makes you feel better but the point was that Mrazek is quicker and more athletic (like top tier goalies). Nothing more. It's not an indictment on JH as it is an observation on what keeps JH out of the "top tier" I think Jimmy is better now but I believe he has a lower Celing than others. Don't get wrapped around the axel concerning a specific play. It was an example of my thought/opinion.

By misrepresenting do you mean like when you assumed I said JH was "slow" and "never made big saves"? Don't let facts get in the way of a good zing, huh?

I see. So we can't compare Goalies to other Goalies because that would be bashing based on the fact that they aren't playing side by side, in real time. Got it.

Bashing? Jimmy is not as quick and gives up a ton of rebounds. And yes...IMO I don't think Jimmy could make that based on what I have seen on his athletic ability. No bashing, just an assessment.

If you're going to make a judgement on something I didn't say Im not interested in having a discussion about it. I've accepted Jimmy for who he is which means I don't consistently bash him like the folks on here you confused me with. My comments about JH have been VERY consistent. He's not elite (IMO) but he's better than some give him credit for. Has great position but is not near as athletic as the top goalies. I don't think most people would say that JH is as athletic or "quick" as the top guys. Which to me, makes him above average. Nothing more, nothing less.

Top 10 goalie. And Mrazek save on PP is one Jimmh wouldn't make.

Said it a million times....Jimmy is just not as quick as the best goalies. Gives up more rebounds than most as well.

Jimmy is not athletic at all and that's what you need to stop guys with skill. That's why the "Jimmy is average" folks keep getting upset. He just can't stop those guys at his best but it has nothing to do with his work ethic. His Celing is just not that high. No need to get upset about it. However, the "Jimmy is an elite goalie" folks need to have their head checked. He's not elite.

Who's Weiss? Does he play for Detroit?

Dude...chill out. It's tongue in cheek.

I see the Gary Bettman effect is in full force tonight. This is why I absolutely hate playing Columbus, Phoenix, Nashville and other teams considered small market. Bettman (and his referees) make sure they all get a chance to win. That no call against Z was just absurd.

Bobrovsky is the greatest goalie in NHL history. And he has a shutout!!!

Not sure why people are getting angry over factual information. When did I ever say we were a bad team? I'll make this easy. Here are the FACTS: We have only two points out of possible 6 (Including tonight) from our past three games. If you look into Jan and Feb we only have 5 or 6 home games combined. We do a lot of traveling and our schedule gets tougher. Another fact: we've been healthy until recently. Odds are that will change (Abby DK an Weiss out now) as we get deeper in the season. We will be lucky to go .500 on the road so I'm betting we fall off pace and start to slide from our top spot. That's an assessment based on facts.

Three losses in a row and the easy schedule they have had is about to get unbelieveably brutal. We've also been extremely lucky with injuries. So no...not just one game.

This team is about to free fall big time.

It's about to get RIDICULOUSLY hard. We might see a free fall to the bottom of the pack
