The Nemesis said:The difference is that a lot of people who offered opinions on who's better offered them as opinions. We said "I think....." or "I like...." or something similar, instead of standing up and saying "Who's better than Thomas Greiss? Nobody!" or something equally as idiotic.
And who are you to put down our opinions? I like Greiss a lot. He doesn't get recognition because Germany had to play this year in the WJC's 2nd tier, and because the DEL isn't one of the "big 4" European leagues that get all the attention (Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Rep.). The fact is that in a league populated by men, including a fairly sizable pool of former and fringe NHLers, Greiss has absolutely dominated. OK, so a recent update of the stats shows that he's fallen to 2nd place in terms of GAA with a mark of 2.09, but he still leads the league with a 0.937 sv% as a 19 year old playing with MEN. I'm not going to use that as a way of claiming that Greiss is the definitive #1 goalie prospect. He's clearly not. But I honestly believe that Greiss is among a handful of goalies who deserve to be considered higher than Pogge. Others like Harding better, or Price, or Dubnyk. That's the way it is. None of us are experts, so you shouldn't ridicule our opinions if you don't agree with them. I don't see you sitting next to Bob McKenzie at the Entry Draft coverage.
If u see my list i had Greiss ahead of Pogge. So no need to argue on that...
I was calling out on people who werent posting on topic but were just trying to piss the thread starter off.
