I love Heater as much as anyone, but he's been really, really average as well. If he'd have converted one of the 6 or 7 amazing passes that Spez fed him vs Washington, we wouldn't have needed OT and given the Caps a point.
And Vermette...I thought I'd love him up there win Spez and Heater, but he's definitely not doing the little things needed to keep that line hopping.
As I said before...can we close Alfie?
Actually, before you said "clone"
Auld has the league's best GAA? Wow, he was 3rd or 4th, wasn't he? And I thought that included his last game. So the guys above him had stinkers, I guess. I'll take it, I don't care. I think this is the season for another unheralded goalie to go to the All Star Game.
Only Ryan Miller was ahead of him, then Miller served up a big fat juicy turd against the Thrashers.
