Fun stat: Niemi now has a .797 save%. I didn't know you could be in the NHL and have under a .800 save%, like even Fleury's seizures in 2012 ended up with above a .800 save%.

I think there may have been some post under that giant pile of sarcasm :laugh:

Who cares though.

People who think it's okay that Phil is off for a morning skate . . .

BTW, I'm not sure Letang is going to be any more of a PP QB in April than he is now, but I'd like to think he'll be dominant 5 on 5.

0.800 - To be known as the Niemi line.

+ only 16 more back-to-back debacles.

+WBS won

It's going to be a while, as he searches for something positive to post about this game. :popcorn:

Honestly, between tonight's game, Letang on the top PP, and the Sheahan trade, I think ColePens may have cracked before me. At least I hope so. Nothing like winning a bet for a hundred yen.

I think Once the playoffs role around Schultz will be the QB.

Sully is just keeping Tanger happy now. But once the playoffs start, no more screwing around and Schultz will be on PP1.

Big props to Niemi for lowering his gaa.

For a moment, I figured you had to be joking. Then I checked and realized you weren't.

EDIT: Christ, he wasn't even that far off his season to date save percentage.

I really don't care about losses in october, but I don't get playing Reaves Kuhn Rowney if you don't care about losses in October, play 5-6 guys from Wilkes, let them show what they have

I missed the game because my girlfriend's sister got married today. I had to listen to her uncle singing Smashmouth at the reception.

I regret nothing.

And rightfully so.

I hope you're right.

So when does management do something about this Niemi experiment?

It's not working...how many games are you going to voluntarily lose before addressing this???

Sully is never happy with this performance. But it is October so he probably bites his lip and keeps the troops engaged. The third line is not exactly great and the fourth line can be OK. Letang has these crap games and comes with the territory. All in all, four points is still OK.
