At you.

And the article.

And the rumor that you kissed some dude in the parking lot.

And this Jibbles.

It’s more than a rumor. I saw them and they were making babies and the babies smiled at me.

Well, I’m glad I now have proof that our goaltending was bad.

4th biggest pessimist of MHH.

But............

I thought it was our D that was so bad?
No…. wait…… it was our injuries!!!!!!!!
No…… wait….. it was Sacco and our coaching!!!!!!!!!!!
Or was it that we didn’t spend to the cap??

Oh…….. wait….. silly me: it was goaltending all along.

Before people get in a tizzy

All of those 4 contributed, I’m sure. But goaltending was powering this tank.

Fire Sacco!

Sorry, Tourrettes…..

An inevitable consequence of complex chemistry.

For what it’s worth, I still think any data used in this metric is tainted by team performance since it’s still based on save percentage what is a number that can be heavily influenced by the team (or lack thereof) in front of the goalie. All this metric has done is remove some of the mouth-breathing that results from discussing GAA and wins as goalie metrics.
