yes

5-6 in October is a damn sight better than 0-6-2

 

[Joe McGrath]

an i allowed to gloat about this team being decent

No, because a big reason they are decent is Cam Ward being good.

How did I know someone would GIF that?!

Remember that year we went 4-1-1 on the redneck cowtipping road trip? We didnt end up close to playoffs (shocker). Not trying to be negative but keep your expectations in check by about 24 miles for your own health's sake.

if we are making judgments after 11 games, you are allowed to gloat if you simultaneously admit you were wrong about lack being better than ward (and about ward being a below average goalie)

What year was this? Unless it was two seasons ago I can't say I remember this.

But Ward IS a below average goalie

This guy.

 

[Novacane]

I'd say Ward has played pretty well so far

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

We will be playing meaningful games in November. This is uncharted territory guys.

ward is still a below average goalie statistically to this point though.

That's awesome




FWIW, since the start of the road trip Ward's put up .925 with a GAA of a flat 2.0

still mad about the blatant plagiarism taking place in this thread

Cam Ward is a better goalie than Tuuka Rask statistically to this point though.

 

[BrindAmours Army]

Cam Ward is a better goalie than Tuuka Rask statistically to this point though.

Cam Ward
GAA: 2.73
SV%: .910
SO: 22

Tuuka Rask
GAA: 2.16
SV%: .926
SO:26

Tuuka Rask

I think they meant in terms of this year.

Ward
W-L-OTL: 4-4-0
GAA: 2.25
SV%: .912
SO: 1

Rask
W-L-OTL: 3-3-1
GAA: 3.29

SO: 1

I know what he meant, but looking at a 10 game sample from goalies with hundreds of games played is completely meaningless.

 

[Ole Gil]

On top of Tuuka never getting the luxury of having elite shutdown pair "Gleason-Corvo" even for one season.

 

[Novacane]

We're talking about how Ward has played this year, no? I don't see how that wouldn't be relevant to the discussion.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

We are, and it's not relevant to the discussion. But it's much easier to bring up irrelevant stats than it is to admit Ward has played well this year.

It's funny we use Rask as an example, since we actually have evidence of how a goalie's stats change playing behind the Bruins' defense compared to playing behind Carolina's defense.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

liles is playing pretty good hockey

hes likely the odd man out next year though

hopefully he keeps it up and we can get something good for him at the deadline
