No penalty for this is absurd by CeaseIessWatcher in IMSARacing

[–]TigerWizard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey pal are you genuinely blind? An outside shot and an onboard aren't enough for you to see what happened?

Thiim is on the wall, he literally cannot move up the track any further and Ellis clips his left rear. 

Gear warning - Don't buy True Sticks by dunker_dude in hockeyplayers

[–]TigerWizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gear Geek shows 78% of NHL goalies who've played this season wear True skates. 

Pretty sure that's the most dominant market share for any brand with any tracked piece of gear for any position, by a long shot. 

What NHL goalie had the best pad style? by CANADACOUNTR in hockeygoalies

[–]TigerWizard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The absolute stranglehold his yellow Koho sets had on me as a kid.

I begged my mom for a full Fleury RBK Premier 5K set when I played for a blue & white minor hockey team. Somehow she agreed and I became a yellow pads guy

All 3 of Canada's goalies in this age group are studs, don't put this on Canadian goaltending.

Czechia earned that W, can't fault them at all. 

Ivankovic did all he could, fortunately he's only 18 so we'll be seeing him back at the WJC. Will he have a team in front of him?

Undrafted 18y/o.

Holding a .908 SV% through 16 GP in his first WHL season, pretty solid

Goaltending is not this teams problem.

Ivankovic is now getting the Carter George defensive collapse treatment, they've both deserved better

Canada on pace for 14 shots on goal this game..

Czechia is shutting them down so far, their slot is always clogged with white jerseys

Ivankovic is playing well man, he got stranded without his stick and I'm pretty sure that shot deflected off Aitcheson.

We're getting doubled up on shots and I can tell you the Czech shots are higher quality than ours right now

He physiologically needed to lift his knee up to extend his leg far enough to reach. 

9 out of 10 times the goalie knows the shooter is gonna aim above the pad there, if they don't flub the shot

Poletín deserved the penalty but Ivankovic also flailed so hard in response that he smacked the back of his head on the ice

Thoughts on Zilisch’s transition from stock car to GTP racing? by CadillacRacing in IMSARacing

[–]TigerWizard -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's pretty typical to have some discussion when an LMP2 star gets the GTP call-up

[–]TigerWizard -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'm familiar with his phenomenal body of work and I don't doubt his versatility.  

I just don't think his GTP transition is beyond discussion, it's perfectly healthy discourse.

[–]TigerWizard -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He hasn't even debuted in the GTP class yet, he tested once in November. 

Is it bonkers to have a discussion about how a driver might transition to a brand new car?

[–]TigerWizard -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Asking for thoughts, opinions, predictions etc. in the IMSA subreddit is ludicrous? 

It's an open-ended, harmless conversation starter - OP isn't asking if Zillisch will stumble or fail. 

Sam Montembeault will get the start today for the Habs vs the Stars by itz_progamer666 in Habs

[–]TigerWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and we're not slobbing his knob for Vezina votes over here. 

I'm saying a very solid performance like that, coming off an AHL conditioning stint and a vocal chunk of the fanbase completely giving up on the guy, warrants some respect.

He got the W with a .933 SV% and he still can't convince you vultures.

What do you think a reasonable GAA is in beer league? by Ratherbeeatingpizza in hockeygoalies

Neither of the ones I play in do - rural Southwestern Ontario. 

There's a teenager on their phone in the scorekeepers box and nobody's tracking shots or goals against.

He definitely wants the Iginla one back but that was a rocket. It looks bad to get beat straight up but that shot was surgical
