MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 haha..So, hey Dev, any news on the goaltending situation? I'm debating between either you or Labarbara as my 4th goalie in this extreme pool I'm in. Kinda leaning towards Labarbara right now...(him and labarbara are like best friends)great, could you ask Devan to ask Jason if Tippett mentioned how many games he would play?And while he's at it, maybe get him to ask Maloney what he's up to with Turris.btw, I need to know by Sunday please, so make sure they hurry. Thanks!!! Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Yeah I might have to go back on my earlier comments. I know Dev was told in the offseason that they were going into the season with Khabi as the starter, but that he would only have a 10 game window to perform well, or they'd switch things up. I haven't actually talked to Dev since training camp started (bad brother, I know), now most things I am reading is that they might actually be leaning towards dev for the starting job. Who knows though, I'll chat with him after the game tonight or tomorrow and see what he thinks.btw, I bet someone tonight $50 that Dubnyk would play more games for the Oilers this year than Khahbibulin. Tell you bro to not let me down! Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think you guys are undervaluing Montoya. I might be a little out there, but I think the Islanders will be decent this year, and I think Montoya will be the clear #1 after the season is over. Link to post Share on other sites

I might be a little out there, but I think the Islanders will be decent this year, and I think Montoya will be the clear #1 after the season is over.If your definition of decent is they will finish somewhere around 27th in the NHL, then you might be right..The Islanders are a bad team, thats not gonna change for a while.

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think the Islanders will finish in the #7-#10 range in the East. The Islanders are a good team. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think the Islanders will finish in the #7-#10 range in the East. The Islanders are a good team.Would you like to wager that they dont finish in the top 10 in the East?Anywhere from 35 cents to $112 .... Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Isles are 9-12 in the East, IMO.Montoya blows. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 How would to tell this guy to go f off?Team Villain have offered you a trade in the Superhero Hockey League: rnd 6 pick, rnd 5 pick, rnd 5 pick, D Alfredsson, B Laich and S Souray forrnd 1 pick, rnd 1 pick, rnd 2 pick and Ryan Johansen.

Dubey 1,035 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'd just flip it and counter offer the same trade back to him.Offer him 2 5ths and a 6th, plus a couple middle of the road players for 2 of his 1sts, a 2nd, and his best prospect. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 btw, I bet someone tonight $50 that Dubnyk would play more games for the Oilers this year than Khahbibulin. Tell you bro to not let me down!Well, the team hasn't told him anything re: starting goalie situation, but he is certainly doing his part. He shutout the flames last night, and has allowed only 2 goals on 70 shots in 3 preseason appearances so far. More importantly, he is looking more comfortable and confident out there than I have ever seen him. He just looks absolutely rock solid so far in the preseason. I know I'm biased and all, but his game has definitely taken a step up so far this year. Link to post Share on other sites

Fenxis 99 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Was reading up on Dobber's picks and he really loves your bro..Worse jinx than the Serge IMHO. Also, are we sure that the team isn't going to tank yet again? (ie Yucking for Yakupov). Link to post Share on other sites

(ie Yucking for Yakupov).The Dobber Jinx only works on undersized skill/speed/flash players. The one truth in hockey is that for every Marty St. Louis or Mike Cammalleri there's a dozen Brett Sterling / TJ Hensick / Simon Gamache type players who can't overcome the size issue.

mrdannyg 274 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 So I missed the draft in my work league. 14 teams, 2 goalie min/max. Categories are W, SV%, GAA, SHO. Rank the following: Reimer, Anderson, Montoya, Dubnyk.Because of the two goalie min/max, there's a good chance I have a shot at any backups in case of injury. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Who is more likely to play more than 9 games in the NHL this year?StromeHuberduberCouturierZibanejadScheifele? Link to post Share on other sites

Scheifele is playing extremely well and I think he gets at least 9. Z is the best bet. Link to post Share on other sites

Will have to stick with Anderson over Dubnyk for the first week or two to see how Edmonton plays, since we're very limited on the # of transactions in this league. Link to post Share on other sites
