And All That Could Have Been: the 08-09 Canadiens

[geschrocks33]

You are telling basically everyone here that you are almost positive we all haven't watched one Habs game all year. How do you know that at all? You don't. You have no idea who has watched what hockey game this season, so don't tell people what they have and haven't watched.

Carey Price has played bad, so has almost that entire team.

End of story.

Naturally SK47 is defending something his loves. The Habs. For some its normal to act like that. And you dont have to watch a Habs game to tell they are falling apart. Price is going to get the blame REGUARDLESS. Hes a goalie, and hes the one letting up the goals. Obiously there is more to it then just him. But thats how most people see it.

The Habs arent going to make the playoffs. There play as a team looks awful. And they kinda look like the Islanders. But hey I only saw a couple of games.

Its seems you, and maybe a few others see what so many do not. Branching off of what you said, I will go one step further and say almost any goalie is useless without a team playing well. Where would Brodeur's career be without those dominant Devils teams from the first 10 years of his career. Or how about Roy with equally strong Montreal or Colorado teams. Dryden without those legendary Habs teams from the 70's wouldn't be remembered as a great goalie. So it all goes hand in hand. I am taking nothing away from any of the guys mentioned, but the team helps the goalie before the goalie helps the team. They pretty much go hand in hand most of the time. Unfortunately too many people who follow the game fail to realize this, but rather get caught up only looking at statistics.

This thread is getting way too ridiculous, therefore I am just going to stay away from this thread from now on. Have fun everyone, debating with SK47 should be fun.

I'll admit some of my comments may have been a little harsh so I apologize to whoever may have been offended.

Hey Jeff, how have you been? I've just been taking a break from the hobby, naturally I had to stop doing anything card related so I stopped coming to the forums for a little while.
