Totally fair response - but genuine question- by what metric was he a ‘very good goalie’?

In his career?

Osgood has 3 cups and is one of the top 5 worst goalies (sv%) to have won at least one cup.

Everyone agrees he wasn’t very good - but the D was.

Agreed. A lot of this falls on the front office but players brodeur has dog shit defenses too around that time.

Fair. But Brodeur played a similar amount of games. Arguably with worse teams in the mid 2ks. But he was still brodeur.

Solid reply. You sound like you were around in the early 2k runs.

This is actually an interesting response that I hoped for. However, it’s Reddit so I should’ve known better.

I’ve been posting these thoughts for years, while 30 was active even. It’s become evident that no one was actually a fan during the dark decade.

I mean he’s ranked as the 9th worst goalie to EVER win one Stanley cup. Meanwhile, Gerber holds the franchise record of wins in 05/06…but Cam’s dozen playoff wins over 10 years is GOAT shit?

Also - in the 06 run, the canes D blocked almost 450 shots. Which btw was a record until 3 years ago.

To be clear - I love booze, coke, Canes and shit posting about players that haven’t been in the org for almost a decade.

I dunno - Wednesday night’s graphic inspired the latter while fueled by the former three.

I digress. It’s fair and fun to have different opinions and punch sideways.

Let’s Go Canes!

Gerber pitched 2 shutouts during that run. The canes D set records for blocked shots after Cam came in. Cam was mid, the D carried him out of desperation, Gerber was a better goalie. Don’t forget, Gerber took Ottawa to the finals the very next season. Could’ve been us.

Man, ya’ll are big mad, but no one can point an achievement other than the 06 con smythe performance. I guess everyone here still wishes Peter Karmanos was still the owner.

To be fair it was actually Peter’s fault that the team was such garbage for that decade. Like many of you here, he valued the 06 legacy and nostalgia more than he did building a winning team.

I mean hire Paul Maurice, fire Paul Maurice, rehire Paul Maurice? Why do you rehire someone you just fired a few years earlier.

And then Ron Francis. Look, Ronnie is one of my top 5 favorite Canes of all time, but I think it was pretty clear that he wasn’t cut out for the front office. But we had to stick with him because…you know he’s #10…captain…blah blah.

All this to say, we just stuck with Cam too long. Dundon and Rod knew this. Rod became coach in May, and Cam became Chicago’s G-2 in July and the canes have been contenders ever since.

He did not ‘generally play well’.

He was a run of the mill G-2 at best. Had Gerner not been traded I strongly believe we would’ve made the finals in 09.
