Goalie Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sometimes teams are mediocre because of the QB tho. Football and hockey man. .. the 2 sports where 1 guy can make the difference between being a playoff team or not... QB and Goaltending. Lots of similarities there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 The Year Of The Cat was 2015. The Collaros injury robbed them of a Grey Cup victory. They were killing teams at home & were just playing outstanding football. When Collaros went down that was the end of it. Took the wind out of their sails. That & the fact their backup qbs suck & still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Maybe average during the season but goalie numbers in the playoffs make a huge difference Look at Murray with Pitt... quick in LA Crawford in Chicago. Very good playoff numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Stanley Cup champs are capable of winning with average goaltending - and they do. plenty of teams have won grey cups with inferior qbs to the opposition too. Even more so in the nfl, and ncaa. Qbing isnt remotely close to the impact on a team that the pitcher has in baseball. A goalie in hockey has a larger impact as well, they are on the ice the whole game, at any point in time the play could flip and bring a short handed rush down to their end. 2 on 1 even great goalies are in trouble. You cant compare football and hockey because of that. They play both ways, same with basketball. And baseball has 0 contact. Football isnt comparable to any sport.

M.O.A.B. Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Speculations is Walters not done dealing yet. Could be Mulumba or Muamba deal is already in the backpocket ? Might be unloading a high-price NAT (Hurl or Neufeld) for a roster player and/or a pick ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Off topic but does Penton know how to do research? Has Willy as 6-9 in 2014 when he was 7-10 and at 10-16 overall, when he was 11-18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) My two cents... I was a big Willy believer until this year. He looked uncertain and unable to make plays. Yes, he did not play behind our best o-line combination but I'm not convinced it would have made a big difference. I'm a real believer in the idea that as one area improves, it improves the other areas. I think Nicholls has had a positive impact on the performance of the o-line and the better the offense has played, the defense has been even better. That said, I will miss Willy-peg but still believe this is the best move for both sides. Edited September 12, 2016 by JCon Fixed typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the "he's fat" stuff has died off. But he still takes a licking online in some circles. He's very much a "smoke/fire" guy and you can often learn a lot by reading between the lines. Has to be considered one of the more respected TSN guys as far as his information and analysis goes. JCon and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to 17to85 on FB chat and told him about it and he says "just watch, Walters saw that and said 'ehhhhhhh might wanna pull that one, Bob...'" And wouldn't you know.....
