Montreal Canadiens defeated Toronto 3-2
Four goals in the first period gave the Ottawa Senators enough breathing room to coast to a 7-4 victory Sunday night at the Corel Centre |

i am now feeling bad for the goalies a bit.
they are no longer the key player.
it's hard to get used to them letting goals in left right and centre.
i think it's also a real downer for their ego. |

I feel for them too but this is what the american audience wants. They want a lot of goals and making the goalies job harder is the easiest way of doing it. I do think the goalie equipment has gotten out of hand and I am glad they have reduced the size of the equipment.
People complain that the game is boring now...and sometimes I agree with that. The real problem is the league is too watered down with subpar talent. The only real way to better the game is reduce the number of teams. |

| Wow, Tellqvist. There goes your back-up job |

| ^^^ Tellqvist wouldn't be backing up this year anyway. They are grooming Telly to take over the starting job when Belfore leaves. Since goalies mature at a slower pace then other players the only way to get them ready for the NHL is to have them start in the AHL. Bringing a good prospect 'tender up to the bigs and sitting him on the bench is nothing more then a waste of talent because he won't get enough ice time to grow into a viable starter. The worst thing that could happen to Tellqvist would be to back up Belfore. |

| The Sabres scored four powerplay goals on their way to a 5-2 victory over the Leafs, Tuesday night at Air Canada Centre. Toronto was 1-for-8 with the man advantage. Chad Kilger and Mariuz Czerkawski tallied in a losing cause. Tie Domi scored to win the shootout in sudden death |

When's the last time Leafs had a good goalie come up through its farm system? Potvin?
Why does this Tuuka Rask kid remind me of Turk Broda? :D |

A goalie typically won't reach full potential until approximately 30 years of age. He will be the started in two years. |
