Why do you guys insist on making these longer threads so difficult to read? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I find it terribly frustrating when I'm reading a thread and this occurs:

Is it so hard to delete the rest of the posts and just quote the post you are responding to? The longer the thread gets, the worse it gets.
If this doesn't bug anyone else, I will stop mentioning it, but holy lord, it's annoying when two sentence posts are TLDR because there are 7 previous posts quoted.

J Quick is real good and had awesome stats against the NJ Devils, but that doesn't compare to what TT did. There is no higher level a goaltender ever played on. Give the guy credit where it's due, he earned it -
Yeah, sure thing. Quick doesn't compare. I'm not sure how breaking his records isn't worthy of comparison. Get over it already. TT was good. Quick was even better. Unlike what you provided, it's not just an opinion. Those are facts (brought to you by the Selective Highlighter).
Thomas 2011-1.98 GAA and .940 SP
Quick in 2012-1.41 GAA and .946 SP
Dez, I agreed with you all along, but the stats don't tell the full story. The Canucks were near the top of the league in goals for. N.J wasn't. Quick was sensational & had a fantastic season too. Both goalie's deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. Putting one in front of the other is nit picking.
Agreed Nite, but I certainly wasn't the one claiming Quick's performance "doesn't compare". Quick also didn't just beat the Devils. He went 16-4 with series one being against those same Canucks. Let's not forget the Kings were the 8th seed. No team has ever faced a more difficult road so when Jwens says Quick "doesn't compare" to TT it just seems like an outrageous case of homerism. Quick broke his records. He bested his GAA by more than a half goal per game. It's not only comparable, it's a huge difference. They each won 16 games. TT lost only 9. Quick lost only 4 games. The .57 difference in GAA is likely a big reason why Quick didn't lose as many times right? I think both goalies played great for their teams and I'm happy with Rask moving forward. Go Bruins!
Great Post Dez! I'm happy with Rask as well.
