BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 So, in his only game in his hometown this season, Blashole decides to make Cholo a healthy scratch. WTF is up with that move? No reason for that crap unless he is sick, which he wouldn't have been running around with family yesterday, if he was. 2 Hockeymom1960 and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do if they're tipped along the way. PP Canucks are playing the trap and the Wings are happily obliging. Too eager to fan out and drift off to the perimeter when we enter their zone. Need to be playing a more assertive, ruthless game. 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those goalies we've mentioned played in the dead puck era though, scoring is way up now. An early 3-0, 4-0 lead used to be a sure win, most of the time. Nowadays that can disappear easily. 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, I'm not gonna go out of my way to defend Bernier. But even the slightest touch can be the difference between a clean save and a goal. Maybe it was a bad goal to give up, but I'll give Bernier the benefit of the doubt on this one and assume the tip was the difference. 2 minutes ago, TLGTrico said: The consequences of not having a single pure shooter on this team That's certainly part of it. Kinda funny seeing the team try to work the one-timer into their attack lately. You can tell it doesn't come naturally to anyone except maybe AA. 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 Hoo boy that was some ugly defense on that sequence. Pretty sure I saw three Wings skating arm-in-arm and trying to converge on one Canuck. End of 1st. Wings trail 0-1. The tank is intact, for now... 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I miss the days when a goalie could win a game for his team... oh, drat... That and i also miss the style each goalie had. From playing style to equipment style, many were different. Nowadays they often play the same and wear the same gear. Back then they used different masks depending on what worked for them, now i think the helmet/cage combo can't be used anymore in the NHL. They wore pads that were just above the knee, not just below the waist, etc. 23 minutes ago, BigWillieStyle said: Bernier having a day at the beach on that one.

They wore pads that were just above the knee, not just below the waist, etc. Admittedly, I was a the world's biggest Hasek fan... he's the reason I became intrigued with hockey in the first place... never will see anything like him again. But that said, the current goal-tending style is pretty danged boring, most of the time. They are good technically or just plain huge, physically. The skaters have all become much more skilled, and equipment has changed, so I will agree times have changed. Today's goalies simply are not very interesting. I miss weirdo, crazy, unpredictable, koo-koo goalies, like Dom. You never knew what was happening inside his head, but put him on the ice and you got a transformer-like machine who never failed to bring a crowd to its feet. That's rare now.... and when it does happen, the term for an other-worldly save is "hasek-like" 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
