I wonder….We all know how Theo has played recently, I only wish we could see Budaj with this current team. The Defense has been much better in the last 10 games than they were earlier in the year. Has Theo benefited from the improved defense to improve his numbers. Would Budaj’s numbers have improved as much if he was given an equal share during the stretch? Unfortunately we will probably never know.

People want to complain that the team was much different earlier in the season and so comparing the two time frames is unfair. Well when the team was more offensive minded Theo was worse than Budaj. I would think that Budaj would have also benefited from having an improved defensive unit in front of him.

Really I don’t care who is better, I just want this team to start finding a way to win these games.

How “convenient” to compare a meaningful sample set.

How “convenient” to compare numbers during a period where Theodore had terrible stats.

How “convenient” to do it when both goaltenders have started equal amounts of games.

Geez, way to cherry pick your numbers DD

“(heck, I’m frightened there might even be thoughts of re-signing him).”

Damn, maybe that’s why I haven’t been sleeping well lately.

Wow, Selanne, did you call it or what?

And I’m now totally convinced that Thomas is one of those “love it or leave it” Republicans that have been accusing every sane person of treason over the past seven years or so.

It’s rather convenient for you to compare their season-long numbers, as JoeTed’s numbers from earlier this year were not good.

yes, that’s the first half of my point. The second half of the point is that his numbers from the last 10 games aren’t all that earth-shattering either, especially when compared to Budaj’s.

thanks for playing along, though.

There really is no way to adequately compare the two because Budaj has never really been the starter for an extended stretch on this current team. And when he was the default #1, the team had better players to put out there.

You cannot ignore the fact that JoeTed has been playing very very well with two, three and four of his team’s best players out. That skews the numbers, without question.

He’s the #1 now because he has earned it. And it will take more than one bad game (the Nashville game is JoeTed’s only weak game in recent memory) to change that.

Every goalie has bad games from time to time.

Patrick Roy had bad games from time to time.

But continue your ignorant bash-fest.
