Steve is actually 100% correct Shooter. That was the first year the NHL decided someone from every team had to be included as an All Star. Rick was a reserve who only got in the game because Brodeur elected to rest instead of attending....there may have been another goalie from the East who passed as well (Miller?). Gotta give Rick credit for one thing though....he gets talked about every single day in every single thread, every single year....healthy or not... |

It was Miller and Brodeur, yes. DP was choice #5. They named him starter afterwards.
Just like he's Britney Spears.

2.25 GAA with Bolts vs 2.64 with Isles. Save percentage is the same .920 but Rolo has 3 shutouts in 10 games with Bolts. At least we got a declining prospect defenseman who by all means is a turnover machine. Yep, the ever injured, oft excuse needing 15 year guy, the 27 year old "he'll surprise" you career minor leaguer and rushing a rising prospect combined with a waiver embarrassment declining to report was well worth the trade for THAT asset. Bravo Garth Snow. Steve Yzerman in less than 1 year as GM has accomplished more than mr. "uhhhh". |

Roloson a few short minutes away form his 4th shutout in 11 games with Tampa Bay as they lead the Flyers 4-0. Flyers heavily outshooting Bolts too. Over 40 shots against. Congrats to him.

No I in team, but there is an "m,e".

.....and he does it again. http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=201002...&navid=sb:recap I love the opening line. "It has taken only a month for Dwayne Roloson to make Tampa Bay GM Steve Yzerman look like a genius."

During the next month when guys on our team are playing for jobs (meaning they're MORE inclined to do the fundamentals) and playoff race teams are feeling the pressure from much needed points (meaning they're more likely to have elite players trying to so too much) it could lead to a nice little .500 or better yet win streak for us. I fully expect Garth to extend Capuano and remove the interim during that time. Garth has had his worst year as GM this year. So glad Roloson is in a better place. |

Is there really any doubt that Capuano will be back...it would take a miracle to bring in a real coach. |
