Watching Hiller is so frustrating because he always seems to be down on the ice but he’s so tall even on his knees he can cover the top

by Taloncarde on Oct 21, 2009 9:26 PM CDT reply actions  

And he wears gigantic pads so he doesn’t even need to do much to get in the way. I’m real interested to see all the goalies next season with the NHL-fitted pads.

by Fehr and Balanced on Oct 21, 2009 9:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed, but I think it’s a short term “fix” personally I love low-scoring hockey so I don’t mind the current state of affairs but they will adapt and keep the goals down no matter what changes i’m sure

by Taloncarde on Oct 21, 2009 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don’t mind low-scoring hockey, but I wouldn’t say I love it. If there are a ton of chances and the goalies are just coming up with huge saves I’m cool with it but a 20-18 SOG battle isn’t gonna get the blood pumping.

by Fehr and Balanced on Oct 21, 2009 9:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

True, but changing the goalie’s pads won’t increase the shots on goal, players will still pass and wait for the “good” shot

by Taloncarde on Oct 21, 2009 9:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

No it won’t, but it will make sure the goalies are actually making awesome saves instead of just dropping to their knees. Hiller’s pads (and several others) are so big that they literally can take up 1/4 of the net on their own. I think that’s a bit absurd. The rise above the knees covers the 5 hole more than should be allowed and I think that’s the biggest problem. I watched the PIT/STL game last night and MAF’s pads come up almost right to his hip-flexor.

If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...

by Fehr and Balanced on Oct 21, 2009 9:34 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well yes, that is true. Seeing Hasek flopping around like a jellyfish and still making the save was much more exciting than Hiller any day :P

by Taloncarde on Oct 21, 2009 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ha. I hate Hasek. Even look at modern-Brodeur. His pads are bigger than they used to be but are still much smaller than a lot of other goalies. He relies a lot more on talent than equipment and I think that’s how it should be.

Agreed, he is one of my favorite goalies (His book is a must read!) Hasek drove me nuts, but he certainly made the saves look exciting :P

by Taloncarde on Oct 21, 2009 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

Can’t argue with his talent. Just his attitude.

Haha. Me too, but my comment was about Hasek. Any goalie that a) flops like him; b) throws his glove at another player mid-game; c) beats up a dude in a roller hockey league has got to be a total D bag.

I was so happy to see Brodeur blow that G7 last year, even if it was against CAR.

The NHL needs to seriously make Razor the example of how to do color commentary in non-traditional markets. He does an absolutely great job of relating hockey principles to football principles (slew foot is the horse collar) and I think the NHL should have caught onto that way earlier. He also has amazing knowledge of the game and is great at conveying it.

Absolutely. Great sense of humor. It would be a shame to break this tandem up because they work together so well. They really just seem like they enjoy calling games together.

VS has used him a little bit in the playoffs but as a “sideline reporter” which I think is a mistake, and I like him better than anyone on VS or NBC

by Taloncarde on Oct 21, 2009 10:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah he’s definitely better than the guys they normally use. Not being used on VS more could be taken as a compliment.

And Karlis couldn’t change.. Sometimes bad things just happen and ya gotta move on.

by Art Middleton on Oct 21, 2009 10:36 PM CDT reply actions  

He did...

Covered the bottom half.

As a goalie you have to be on guard for the cross ice pass so Marty had to cheat a little. you cover as much of the side as you can, but you also gotta hope he can’t roof it quite like Getzlaf did.

I would have to see the replay but it looked to me that if Turco held the post there Getzlaf would have been able to beat him to the far post with his speed and reach. That’s a tough spot for Turco with such a skilled guy coming in on him with speed and space.

It was just a great shot by Getzlaf.

by k9mike on Oct 21, 2009 10:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

Very true.

Sometimes a player just makes a great shot and ya gotta tip your helmet and move on.

Turco gave him a space of about a foot and a half by two feet and Getzlaf roofed it. If Turco had been hugging the post, Getzlaf would have simply seen it, thrown the puck across the ice for a tap in… Or he would have swung around the net to the other side to create a chance and get Turco moving side to side.

As soon as Getzklaf had position on Skrastins, it was almost a done deal.

Yah, there has been a few of those tonight. Sometimes the pretty pass doesnt always pan out. Just shoot….I think it was “The Great One” that said…

I would say the Stars have nothing to worry about because they’ve controlled the game. But all things considered ANA has to feel pretty good only being 2 down and they are definitely within striking distance if they decide to play hockey.
