OH1FlyersFan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 re: goaltending. Nice shutout by Bryz, he stopped all what, 18 shots? Awesome. On the other hand Nabakov stops 45. 45 shots but not a single quality shot, really. He did well. Then the shootout. I've just run out of things to say because it's the same thing over and over again. It truly is freaking "Groundhog Day" when it comes to our goaltending. Especially shootouts. I don't even know who to blame this time. Defense? They held up. Bryz? He had a shutout in regulation and overtime. Offense? Maybe. They obviously didn't score but they did put up 45. I surrender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Sometimes you're the winshield , sometimes you should have a beer. Long season at some point we'll win one of these.I share your frustration though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 tough game. hard to put the blame on any single area. we had some good looks at the goal. Nabokov had some quality saves. Bryz had some decent saves. sometimes luck factors in. i hate the shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) that game is a fine example of why games ending in ties is okay. that game was a tie. neither team even looked like a team that deserved to win that one. yet, a team gets to walk away with an extra point because they won some BS skill comp. I just hate the shootout. Edited February 9, 2012 by Spinorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillygrump Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 From now on lets just treat these shootouts like what they are....a gimmick. Lets just draw names out of a hat to pick the shooters and do ridiculous tricks and make it ridiculous.Because that is what it is. Its a ridiculous parlor trick. Just let the rookies shoot. Harry Z, Coots, Rinaldo, Schenn, Sestito...Let Shelley shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Except for the fact that the shoot out is for points, that's an interesting idea. Act like the shoot out is the gimmick we all know it is, and pick shooters accordingly. Maybe use it as a live development tool, and go with Rinaldo, Bourdon, annnnnnnd the backup goalie (as a shooter) for shits and giggles.

OH1FlyersFan Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 That would be awesome. Great idea, Phillygrump and Doom's suggestion is even better! That's a big F U to the League which is exactly what it needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 No , the Cult is/was a rock band from the 80s... They played rock at punk rock tempo, wrote my favorite pop rock song "she sells sanctuary" as well as fire woman, rain and love removal machine. Sonic Temple was probably their creative zenith in 1988 it was a glorious studio rock album. I always loved this image of Billy Duffy, that's what a rock guitar plater should look like.They are/ were not derivative of BOC in any way.

Vanflyer Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 @doom88Why don't they put the shooter tutor in and then pick three fans from the home team and three fans from the visiting team. Have each shoot from center ice. The final score is the winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Because NYR/Phi fans with sticks as weapons would certainly kill each other after 65 minutes of watching their teams fail them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
