Cullen has already said he does his rankings by stats...not wins and losses but player stats.  It is better for a fantasy team.  Look at the Isles and other than MacD no one is jumping off the screen on a fantasy team.

Cullen's rankings are idiotic.  He knows it.  We've called him on it before.


As for the whole Rick v. MacD thing, I find it comical.  Only 6 months ago we had people crying all over this board that we didn't resign Dubie for "this unproven goalie that couldn't make it in the Detroit organization".  That's what some posters said of him.

Now, after 22 starts we have a goaltending controversy???  Really?  I believe Steve Penny had a few hot months for Montreal back in 84 never to be heard from again.  I hope that doesn't happen with Joey Mac.  He's been strong in net playing positionally sound hockey.  He's been taking care of his crease well and remaining big in it, but I do find it amusing that he's shown he has absolutely no businesses handling the puck.  He's already had some blunders handling the puck, but no one rails about them the way they do with DP. 

The truth is, there is no "controversy".  WE dont know if Joey Mac can go an entire season playing at this level as a number one goalie.  I hope he can.  It would be a great problem to have.  But I don't know that it is likely considering he just got to the nhl after several years of ups and downs.  Why there is a supposed controversy when DP is still at least a month away I have no idea.

Having two strong options to put between the pipes.  What a terrible idea.  Worked horribly for Detroit, didn't it.  And they had the biggest primadonna in the world in Hasek.

Typical NY fans.  Sounds like the Giants in 1991.  Our number one guy isn't even off the DL yet and people are ready to run him out of town in favor of a guy they didn't even want 6 months ago.  And if that should happen, people still probably won't even give Snow credit for signing MacD over Dubie, despite the fact they were clobbering Snow for it all last season.

Talk about looking for scapegoats.  Holy John Kerry-itis

If DP has truly matured like they say, he will return and have the peace of mind that if he gets a night off, his team won't be handing out 2 points with out a fight.

Did you ever think the Isles may not have that much affection for dp
and feel more on the same page with JM.

Standing on his head for 2 points
was that one of his two playoff wins
in his 35 year career so far with Isles :disgraced:

LOL How many playoff wins did Garth Snow and Dubie have in that same time period combined?

Yeah, its all on the goaltender.

Unbelievable.

Isles score 5 goals in a 5 games series v. TB...yep. Goalie's fault he only won one game.

Isles scored 11 goals in a 5 games series v. Sabres. Yep, blame the goalie despite a 2.05 avg of goals FOR.

Isles score 7 goals in 5 games v. Ottawa. Yep...must have been GArth's fault there.

As I've been saying for years, the Isles problems are not between the pipes.

When you have Yashin and Blake disappearing come playoff time...don't look between the pipes for your team's problems. You won't find them there.
I miss these :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: and want more of them

Joey Mac should be able to sue for lack of support for some of these games in the 3rd period.

Joey M couldn't win with Detroit. The expectations are so low here that if he just stands up and lets the puck hit him a few times then posters like Led are ready to crown him our starting goalie for the next decade.
