Quote from: nb587 on May 17, 2024, 07:59:47 PMIgor, and other goalies , regularly stop shots that would go wide or high. Every goalie considers themselves lucky when a shot hits the post or a crossbar.I see. So, he should stop the SOG and the not SOG. Does that mean Carolina was lucky to stretch it to 5 with the 3 posts the Rangers hit in game 4?

Quote from: Painter on May 17, 2024, 07:03:39 PMYeah, sure! Aside from the fact that at this point, and for who knows when it might be otherwise, all such speculation is bootless. Is that not something we might at least wish to acknowledge out of a sense of propriety? Are there not more sensible rabbit holes for us to go spelunking? Good gosh!Call it as you wish, but I'm following this draft class that many pundits have crapped upon or hyped. It's the most interesting Draft class since 2004. You know where my chips are placed.
Cheers!

Yesterday at end of 2nd I said, "time to work your magic." Texted my wife to ask if she wanted to go to the game on saturday. Hit send, and I knew we were good.
On a serious note, they have been the best comeback team in the league this year and "momentum" can shift VERY quickly. Hence why the analytics people do not believe in momentum or players being hot and cold as an indicator of a future outcome.

Quote from: nb587 on May 17, 2024, 05:48:46 PMAny Ranger fan that was confident of winning last night, after 2 periods, after the awful game in game 5, was either smoking pot or drinking something strong or an eternal optimist. In fact, after rewatching the 3rd period, I'm of a mind that we were incredibly lucky to win. We survived a 3rd period where the puck hitting the post, another hitting the crossbar, another point blank shot from in close that went wide and another awesome (understatement) save from Igor. And, we scored on an iffy penalty call. I'm guessing that the Hurricanes, whom I cant stand, are kicking themselves for having lost a winnable game last night.Is Igor expected to stop the shots that are wide or high, on top of the ones that are on net?
