EPTWow the Oilers defense suck. How the hell did they even manage a goal despite likely never having the puck?

http://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/199103210BOS.html its kinda funny when you look at the Nodicks lineup for that game. Basically no D (Steven Finn lol ) but a bunch of epic young forwards+ Flower running on fumes. Dont despair Edmontonians. They will move your team and then they'll win the cup (after trading for a crazy sick netminder).  oh and btw, Ray Bourque took 19 shots in that game. ( WTF ??) | ||

Scrivens is 27 and I don't think the guy has been in even 70 NHL games. IF Scrivens is smart he'll go wherever he can get playing time. Whether its Edmonton, Florida or the Swedish elite league. If he is happy being a back up goalie that'll open up many more options. Many goalies have a renaissance in their 30s and Scrivens may wind up being one of those guys. | ||

He is very much a legend in Edmonton. You have to be intentionally obtuse to not see the symbolism... Oilers trade for a hometown goaltender from the same neighbourhood as one of our legends. This Goaltender is considered streaky. Goal-tending was (is?) our weakest link by far... Its pretty strong symbolism dude. Reads like a storybook. | ||

Bill Ranford won the 1990 Conn Smythe for the 5th Oilers Cup. Ranford was better than Fuhr in any of hte previous years Edmonton won the Cup. Fuhr was god awful in 1986 and 1987. He made the 1987 Canada Cup far closer than it should have been. Sort of like what Dryden did in 1972 (serge savard's take on it is interesting).  During most stretches of his career Fuhr was above average. He and "dougie" were "coke buddies" when they played in TO together. they really "bonded together" off the ice. Over all, he was a above average goalie playing on a team of HOF-ers. Again, sort of like Dryden.. another "legend". Personally, I think Fuhr was better than Dryden. | ||

Unless he's talking about Grant Fuhr. Then he's just being an imbecile again. I love it how he just randomly states "fuhr wuz awful in 87." This is what JJR does - he states random pieces of incorrect information as fact and then moves on. "sea biscuit was a harrier jet." See, I can do it too. But if people do like facts, here are some: - Fuhr won the Canada Cup in '87. If people remember the Canada Cup, it was like the Olympics only better. Fuhr stoned the Russians and was a critical part of Canada's success. - Fuhr lead the league in wins in the '87 season. - Fuhr lead the league in minutes played in the '87 season. - Fuhr lead the league in shutouts in the '87 season. - When the '87-'88 season was all done, Fuhr had another cup (cUpZZz) and was second in Hart trophy voting. | ||

"stoned the Russians". again basic facts wrong. No Russians. Soviet Union. Getting back to his play. He gave up 16 goals in 3 games. THe final game was thoroughly dominated by Team Canada and he gave up 5 goals on 23 shots. try actually like.. watching the games. It was not as bad as the Dryden/Tretiak "wars" though. Fuhr was better than Dryden, i'll give him that.

It seems so objectively meaningless that I can only assume that there are greater forces at play that only JJR knows about and he's somehow ten steps ahead of us all in some diabolical master plan. He knows something we don't. Unless he's talking about Grant Fuhr. Then he's just being an imbecile again. I love it how he just randomly states "fuhr wuz awful in 87."

Ranford > Fuhr. try watching the 1987 Canada Cup. Fuhr was not very good. Try watching the 1986 playoffs and other Edmonton regular season games. Fuhr was not very good. Fuhr is about as much of a "legend" as Dryden. Both goalies on a team of HoF-ers. Hasek, Roy, Parent totally outclass guys like Fuhr and Dryden. i like getting into debates about "Bernie" though, and listening to keyboard warriors (at the local donut hole) pronounce the guy's last name. also, as i said, he is above average overall. i didn't say he was horrible. Had Fuhr not been a total fucking coke-head he probably would've been better than above average. coulda.. woulda.. shoulda... Does he belong in the company of Patrick Roy or Bernie Parent? NO. those guys don't lose their jobs to guys like Felix "the flopper" Potvin. | ||

Fuhr was good but not great. Smith, Roy and Ranford all won Cups during the "Fuhr era" and contributed more to their team winning. Which is why they all won the Conn Smythe and Fuhr never did. Smith, Roy and Ranford were phenomenal and out played Fuhr. | ||

So I shared some of his numbers for the season starting '87 in particular. These aren't my opinion, they are facts. These are simple accomplishments that, themselves, are not up for dispute. I chose this particular statement of yours not because I believe Fuhr is great or anything, but rather to point out just one of the large gaps that typically exist between the things you say and reality. I could have also pointed out that he won the Vezina in '87-'88. I mean, you are free as ever to completely disregard fact and objectivity in the favor of giving a base-less, meaningless opinion - that's your right. But that's also why no one ever listens to anything you say =( You back up your opinions with meaningless statements like "watch the games" - as if implying that people don't/haven't. That means nothing. You are the guy who says people aren't allowed to talk about Vietnam because "you weren't theeeere maaaaan." Also pigs are made out of rainbow umbrellas. PROVE ME WRONG.
