potvin's not a bad backup. Especially being a vet and entering the playoffs
Rayzor will win the calder |

also how do they define a rookie anymore? like do they have a cut off for the calder trophy or something?? like how many games do they play before they're not rookies?(example: Raycroft played 15 games for boston two years ago but is still considered a rookie this year)

Ryder's been the best forward, but goaltending is the most important part of a team and many experts have said that Raycroft's a lock.
you can't really argue with his #s |

not denying that he's a good goalie but they usually don't give the calder to a goalie. Ryders got 49 points in 65 games, that stat stands out more to people then a 22-15-7 record. |

the rookie eligibility rules are something like if you play a maximum of (something games, I think 20) within the course of two seasons then you're a rook.
I'll brb with the official ruling |

im not saying that he shouldnt win im saying that its' gonna go to either of them it's way tougher for a goalie though because they don't look just at his stats they look at the defence infront of him too.

Raycroft deserves to win it IMO. I doubt the Bruins would make the playoffs without him.

Ok I got the ruling...
Rookie Qualifications To be considered a rookie, a player must not have played in 25 or more NHL games in any preceding seasons, nor in six or more NHL games in each of any two preceding seasons. Any player at least 26 years of age (by September 15th of that season) is not considered a rookie. http://nhl.com/nhlhq/faq/hockey_ops.html#rookie Andrew Raycroft - 15 gms in 2000-01 - 1 gm in 2001-02 - 5 gms in 2002-03 Raycroft is still considered a rookie. |

Thanks for elaborating my point Yash, and thanks for clarifying that Xcel Energy only serves the Twin Cities.

Why don't more guys wear the face thing like Thorton does (I know he wears it now because of an injury) everyone in HS and college does it

It gets in their way sometimes, like when someone skids and ice chips hit it and get water on it and shit, personally i'd just wear one anyway with all those eye injuries

Thornton hates that cage, but he's said he's had a half dozen sticks clang off of it since he's had it.
I guess because up until the 90s you didn't have to wear helmets at all, so they don't want it too watered down |

The picture would've been funny last year, but the truth is that Dan Cloutier is arguably the best goalie in the NHL right now (perhaps Martin Brodeur is the only goalie who is more coveted right now). Cloutier's stats and records speak for themselves. Cloutier is probably the most technically sound goalie in the NHL.

PLEASE NOTE: The following is a tpww.net spoiler. Only MoRcHeEbA may read the following BLACK text. I was trying to piss off Yash with my comment. In my opinion, Cloutier is a talented goalie, but very inconsistent....which is why I worry about him being our tender for the playoffs. p.s. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

yeah clouts has been really solid, that and the canucks have been much improved defensilvely this year. i have no problems heading into the playoffs with dan as our goalie. besides if you look at the western confrence, the only goalie with any bit of solid playoff experience is probably joseph (though he hasn't done much in ages) voukoun, abesier, turco, mclennan, all relative newcommers to the playoff experience. i'll take cloutier over those guys considering he's had the last few seasons or so to get his feet wet. |
