i've always hated toskala, i thought he was overrated and overvalued and a liability in the net. the only reason he had such a great record was because the offense put up 6 goals a game when he played and the defense would hold the opposition to 25 shots or less most of the time. nabakov on the other hand was stuck with 2-3 goals of offense defending 40 shots a night.

old and washed up as roenick is, he gives the team added intensity that they desperately needed (went to all the home games against the wings in the semis and they were just getting their teeth punched in and nobody had the balls to finish a check, let alone knock a red wing the [censored] out)

guerin and bell were utterly useless, pavelski's a star in the making, cheechoo had a great 2nd half last year and i feel like an entire season with rivet shoring the defense can't possibly be a bad thing.

plus, how can u bet against the new badass shark logo?
