TSn are still morons though

Oh yeah....case in point, their Diddling power rankings. Picked by a monkey, reported on by a monkey.

Way to go Ells! But I can't help but feel that none of this would have been possible without Mike Brodeur....

Love how hot Belli has been lately. maybe not a fluke...

17-8-3 in 32 career NHL games is nothing to scoff at.. stretch that out over an 82 game schedule, and he's pulling in 49 wins. He also went 25-5-3 in his junior year at Wisconsin, is what was supposed to be a rebuild....

Where are you getting those figures from? The guy is 34-19-6 in 65 career games.

You may be very right but the fact of the matter is Elliott has absolute every tool needed to be a top tier NHL goaltender and the attitude needed. Never gets too high, never gets too low. Elliott is the real deal and I have been saying as much for well over a year before he even got to Ottawa.

With him and Lehner, The Sens have never been so deep in goal. Add in Leclaire who is an amazing goaltender (when healthy) along with Brodure, you have 4 assets in your organization right now.

I hate to break it to y'all but he will never be Brodeur or Price.

I like the sound of that. I hope you're right about Elliott having all the tools, I really do.

I would like some better decision-making along the boards, if that's possible...

From TSN: "Elliott posted a 3-0-0 record, 0.98 goals-against average and .964 save percentage. He also had a shutout as the Senators extended their win streak to a franchise-record nine games."

How is his GAA .098 when he let in 3 goals in 3 games?

GAA is calculated per minutes played, not per game. That's why you get goalies with GAA of 1.37 or 2.12.

Speaking of which, Sens update via Twitter says that goalie Mike Brodeur has been reassigned to the AHL. Looks like Pascal is ready to play again.

WOW - clearly I have spent too much time at my desk today. Even at that rate - 42 wins is nothing to scoff at.

Boo if you don't mind me saying. I liked Brodeur and what he brought.

That's a good thing. Pascal is more of a proven goaltender than Mike Brodeur is. As much as I hate to say it, Brodeur was just a flavor of the week.
