Post-Game Talk: Thrashers at Panthers

[Gentle Man]

Will Bob give up the first or second shot?

No shots

Weegar own goal

 

[Mogo]

No shots

Weegar own goal

Weegar turnover that leads to the goal is a given

I feel a bit silly for this and I should just get over it already, but it still annoys me that people actually think Anderson was a better goalie than Vokoun, who may be the most underrated goalie of the last 30 years, if not longer. Vokoun was consistently one of the best goalies in the league for a decade, such a shame he doesn't get the respect he earned and deserves.

Nope, disagree wholeheartedly. Vokoun sucked. Horrific puck handler too. Not to mention Anderson was outplaying him at the end there when we let Anderson go. Proven after that too, when they went their separate ways whom we should’ve stayed with.

I whole-heartedly agree with you.

Agreed. 9.18, .926, .925, .922, an allstar. Never understood the hate for him. I’ll take those numbers any day lmao if you give up some weak ones then you just automatically suck instead of looking at the totality of their play

Going tonight, so sorry ahead of time if we lose

We’re not gonna lose but I’d be ready to have one of those “we want 10” nights, rather than doubling up on my heart meds, in the midst of another comeback.

You can disagree with me all you want, the objective measures disagree with you. Yeah Vokoun let in a bad goal here and there, but he was still clearly and objectively better than Anderson.

Anderson is a 1A/B goalie at best. Vokoun was legitimately a top-10 goalie for a lot of years and one of the top workhorses in the league during his prime.

And after Anderson left, Vokoun still had better stats the following year, and substantially better stats following that year. Anderson's best year came the following year in Colorado (2009-10) where he posted a .917 SV% and a 2.64 GAA in 71 games (the most he's played in a season); Vokoun put up a .925 SV% and a 2.55 GAA in 63 games. The year after that Anderson had an .897 SV% and 3.28 GAA in 33 games with Colorado before being traded to Ottawa where had a very good .939 and 2.05...in 18 games, for a yearly total of .913 and 2.83 in 51 games; Vokoun had a 9.22 and 2.55 in 57 games. In the next two years before he retired, Vokoun put up a .917 and .919 and 2.51 and 2.45 with Washington and Pittsburgh (48 and 20 games, respectively). Anderson put up a .914 and 2.84 in 63 games in 2011-12 and .941 and 1.69 in 24 games. The following year Anderson put up a .911 and 3.00 in 53 games. His best season after Vokoun retired is probably 2015-16 where he played 60 games and had a .916 and 2.78, the only other season he played more than 50 games he had an .898 and 3.32, and another season of exactly 50 games with a .903 and 3.51. And this is ignoring their time with the Panthers, where each of Vokoun's seasons is better than any full season Anderson has ever had.

Anderson is a guy who can catch fire for short times and look like Patrick Roy, but he's not a consistent starter. You can prefer Anderson, that's cool, but Vokoun was a better goalie.

Me too! so double sorry if we lose...im undefeated this season when wearing my Luongo jersey yet I keep insisting on wearing my Ekblad which I wore to 2 loses, miss the guy a lot!

Hi my Panthers friends,

First off, congratulations on the amazing Season your Boys are putting up offensively. Best of luck in the Playoffs. Hopefully Bob or Kid Knight get on a roll heading in & Ekblad is back in time to return to form.

I did the GDT for the Jets Board, so I’m stopping by to share the stats clips courtesy of The Score App with you fine folks. We on the Jets Board are resigned to just wanting our Boys to compete & youngsters to show what they have the rest of the way. May we have a competitive Game with no injuries either side.

Cheers

Who are these Jets you speak off.

We are playing the Thrashers.

Vokoun was consistently one of the best goalies in the league for a decade, such a shame he doesn't get the respect he earned and deserves.

The stats support this as well.

Vokoun's SV% finishes: 2, 3, 5, 5, 9.

And here are a few goalies that have similar SV% placements.

Rinne: 2, 7, 7, 9, 10.

Price: 1, 4, 6, 7, 9

Cujo: 1, 2, 6, 6, 7

Matches pretty well against 2 borderline HHOF goalies, and one that's probably gonna make it in.

"Where's my candy??"

lmao was that kid scamming Barkov for a stick?

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

No Scheifele

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Big red needs some maintenance before the playoffs. Dead pixels in one area lol

 

[Gentle Man]

Easy 8 goal come back

 

[Gentle Man]

I dropped the ball on this one

RIP to a legend

 

[Felidae]

Good to see teams Bossy didn't play for paying tribute to him. One of the best goal scorers of all time.

 

[batting1k]

Nice goal. Sometimes you just gotta dump it in there.
