kliq 3,755 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Here are their stats from last year. Jimmy has the better Save %, Gus the better GAA (by a hair). Wins is where their is a big difference per game, which being a goalies fault is definitely debatable. Jonas Gustavsson 27GP, 16-5-4, 2.63, 907 Jimmy Howard 51GP, 21-19-11, 2.66, 910 Edited January 29, 2015 by kliq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted February 2, 2015 I hope he doesn't pull his groin trying to catch that plane. LOL Glad to hear Monster is ready to come back though. Solidifies the goaltending. I get uneasy everytime McCollum gets in the net, although he did play well in the third against Tampa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get uneasy everytime McCollum gets in the net, although he did play well in the third against Tampa. Why? This isn't the wings of the last few seasons, with lacklustre D leaving the goalies hanging out to dry. Even so, McCollum has looked incredibly solid in his two appearances in this call up. I've been very impressed. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did'nt look that good against Buffalo, imo anyways. Was'nt that his first NHL win? And how long has he been in the Wings system? Not to mention a first round pick? He has'nt showed much promise so far, but that may be due to Mrazek being ahead of him for call-ups and not getting chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been very impressed. Late bloomer? Had a good year last year and the numbers at GR this year don't look too shabby. Both Mrazek and McCollum need playing time. If Gus could ever stay healthy that means Mrazek and McC share time in GR. I suppose that's the optimal situation since you don't want either sitting on pine for an extended period.

kipwinger 8,440 Report post Posted February 3, 2015 I feel weird calling a skinny Swedish dude, Monster. You'd think he was 6'8 and weighed 280 lbs. Agreed. Ben Bishop is THE monster.

It just carried over, cause ya, Leaf fans thought he was their saviour. I remember a guy i worked with being so excited about that signing. How quickly he became obsolete in Toronto. lol 1 number9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How quickly he became obsolete in Toronto. lolI find it funny how often this happens with Toronto fans.Like this could be said about so many other players. Haha. I honestly stop talking to a few of my friends every year when Toronto goes on their win streak. I can't stand how cocky they get, but I think its cute when they're all doom and gloom, "SELL THE TEAM FOR WHATEVER YOU CAN GET!" 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah when they are winning, their fans are so happy, but when they inevitably start to lose again, they're like "i'm done with this ******* team", but then the cycle starts over when they win a game. One of my friends burned his jersey after that epic loss in Game 7 to Boston in OT when they came into the third leading 4-1. He had a brand new one ready by the start of the next season. 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
