I'm not disputing the #'s. Admittedly you posted them 3 years ago and they were very comparable.

You and your stupid face went a step further , suggesting they were interchangeable or basically the same player.

I laughed in your stupid face for suggesting that gibson and vaslevsky were equals, despite similiar stats.

I went as far as to suggest , just google some random nhl goalkeeper rankings, just to show you the difference between them (even at the time) was common knowledge. Even check fantasy rankings, it wasnt even close....

What's the whole point of this argument?

You were right and they had similar statistics. Which I agreed too.

You were wrong and continue to be wrong. Vaslevsky is way better and even you can openly admit it.

a revisit of the comparison of a goalie conversation 3 years ago, fitz causing more elder abuse, and we made a trade to get to the cap floor with an injured goalie

yanks and jays staying hot

bolts/colorado cup finals

bandits came out flat in game 2

and jan 6th hearing is more important then people trying to kill supreme court judges, retirement funds shrinking and inflation at an all time high record


I think that's it

Here's part two of that question...

Does Adams get ripped for giving up a first round pick for a goalie if Gibson doesn't work out, ala Tim Murray?

(I wouldn't hate it, btw)

- Powerslave

in defense of TMGM he would have drafted a worse player with that pick than lehner ended up being...

He’s almost as good as Vasilevsky

I have very good sources that say he's better.

No doubt in my mind Gibson would post a .915 + save % as a Sabre next season, and we would make the playoffs with no other notable additions.

Are you saying you expect Gibson to perform similar to Vasi?

I can palm a basketball for the record.

Your drunk ass wants to keep pretending gibson and vaslevsky are interchangeable.

Denial, similar to still wearing your red hat.

How about the guy that is proven to brain wash them

I'd like to see them... ot challenging you here, just curious...do you have them for all G's...could be very, very I interesting.
- IonSabres


Yep

One important note is that goalies are voodoo, but if you have a guy that's been average or worse for three years running, there's a fair chance that will continue into the next year.

You know who the most consistent goalie has been year to year?

One Michael Smith. Vasi a distant second. Of course, Vasi was better.

Gibson on a good team would be really great. I truly believe that. But that is from me liking him since his world junior days


80% of a goalies success is partly due to the team in front of them.

Vasi is a good goalie. But he’s elite because for the last 3-4 + years he’s had an all star team in front of him

Vasi makes his money in the playoffs. In any given regular season he can be one of 10 top goalies in the league. What he does when the Bolts need to lock down a series is all time great. Pat Roy type stuff.
