Master Mind Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Glad to see him returning for one more year. With how many teams are using tandems, there's a good chance he's the last goalie we ever see reach these levels of wins and games played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 With the state of Canadian goaltending, we might need him at the Olympics in 2026. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, we are seeing more platoons Luongo and Rinne may have been the last active tenders to play 70+, Fleury never has It's a tough mark to meet, for tenders it requires stepping in super young and being starters most of a lengthy career, that's rare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureQuickness Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 2.5 M for a solid guy like him is a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I'm a bit surprised he wanted to play another season. He passed Roy for 2nd all time in wins this past season and is too far away from Brodeur to get to 1st. Plus he's already won 3 cups (and Minnesota is not likely to win one next season) and a Vezina. Also this past season he was starting to show his age a bit. I'm just not really sure what he's playing for at this point, just the love of the game?

Sounds that way from the clip I posted above, he's still passionate about playing, competiting, and being part of the group It's hard for a lot of guys to walk away from what's been a massive piece of most of their lives I'd imagine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop Hogg Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I honestly thought he was going to retire after this season, but good for him. Not only is he one of the all time great goalies, but one of the all time good guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
