Like....I thought he was a big time goal tender. He comes here and is worse than Lacko Taco man. What the he'll is going on here? Was he just a product of a good Chicago team? It most certainly appears that way.

It probably would have been safer to trade for a goalie with 1 year left on his term like the Oilers did with Talbot.
Or like the Sharks did with Jones.

It gives you time to see how he can handle the workload and if he is worthy of an extension.

I mean what is there to debate?

OT: JR was better at sifting through the bin of "island of lost toys" NHL players than RF. Although I really did like Staalberger.

We should have gone with Bishop. How many times ia this team going to get burned by back up goalies who are ready to become starters? It has never panned out for us and probably never will.

Honestly not seeing a whole lot of difference unless you think .15 goals a game is 5 wins worth with our patented lack of scoring.
Don't get me wrong he's been bad.
Our D as a whole has been BAD Slavin Pesce are off Faulk is MIA... and Hanifin has his mistakes
We expected our D to be at least roughly the same as last year and so far they haven't been. Goal tending has been abysmal. And scoring non existant.

We are a bad team and this year I can't see it changing.

He has more wins, a better GAA, and a higher save percentage.... should have gone with him brah. Stats say so.. You're right though. This team simply sucks.

GAA isn't something you want to be ahead in as a goalie.. And less wins but hey Stats...(I'll support better win percentage and points percentage) Just need a statistician to prove that up is down and yellow is blue.

I know exactly what the problem is. This team is 2nd to last in terms of team spending.

Not even joking might as well see what SJS wants for Dell...could he really be worse than Ward/Darling? Just rotate all 3 in a carousel or play spin the bottle for starter each game...nobody gets overworked or overplayed then

Not a bad plan. On a side note my sister mailed be edibles from Denver. I took 1/4th of one last night and was baked for 10 hours. Taking another now to drown out my sorrows.

Because our GM has no creative solutions to solving problems and he doesn't have the balls to do that. Wouldn't want to upset Ward or his new 16 million dollar goaltender he just brought in. That could make the golf in April a bit awkward. And we all know golfing in April is this team's yearly tradition.

I like your idea.

Productive discussion about this will surely be had.

Only a list like that could make Cam Ward look like a Hall of Famer in comparison.

Leighton played in the finals so he wins by default, no?

Also, am I misremembering Leighton was supposed to be our savior at one point?
