    That was the first time I had seen Vince play and well, it wasn’t as horrific as I expected. Not a bad job.
    I don’t think any of the goalies on the weekend were outstanding.
    The Devils had more shots on in both games, only by 3 in the first game I think then by a couple of hundred in the second game  <img decoding=” title=”Wink” />

    I believe you have it the other way around.  Devils outshot the Stampede badly according to the scoresheet on saturday (I only looked at sheet briefly).  Sundays game had stampede taking 36 and devils taking 33.

    Oh, yes you are right. But I also see it was actually the Swarm who played the Red Devils on Saturday according to the score sheet! Hmmmm but with the Stampede players!

    stats are notoriously bad in the nzihl.  Not only on the scoresheet but on the website too.  Our own stat takers down south had about 40 more shots per game then the official scoresheet.  Bless those ladies in dunedin though, they try hard.

    I suspect that goes for some of the players taking stats as well too Vince. Only way to get good stats is to have one person focusing on it alone, like we did at worlds, and have them do it consistently.

    Video replay would also help it <img decoding=” title=”Smiley” />

    we had a dedicated shot taker.  Not even taking numbers, just location.  I suspect most of the missed shots are the scrambles.  After the first shot, they look down to record and miss 2 3 and 4.  They try though.

    Not when I’m doing it!!! Kara can confirm that I actually made things worse. Picking random numbers may have been more accurate <img decoding=” title=”Tongue” />

    staight up i think that vince is a bad goalie thats why he never got ice time for stampede, and hardly ever for thunder, he only gets ice time for chch cause thy’re desperate. He just thinks he’s the man and talks lik he’s the man but he’s not he is just a mid thirty year old man who sits on his little computer trying to sound smart about hockey via his little forum

    Your own insecurities are starting to show Mr Jofa playa. Anyone who feels the need to put down others to make themselves feel better need to look in the mirror

    Your entitled to your opinion even though there’s a very high chance you haven’t got the slightest clue about goaltending.  Do you even play hockey?

    First up Vince won the second game when his team allowed slightly more shots, so he’s not likely to be that bad a goalie. Bad goalies don’t tend to win games when they’re outshot.

    Second, it’s rather amusing when people post about how Vince isn’t a great goalie, a claim that you’ll never find him making. I’ve had a couple of discussions with him in which he openly admits that he’s not a top goalie. It’s like you’re arguing with him about how he’s not the best and he’s agreeing with you.

    He’s still unbeaten this year. Still some more games to go, but I think any goalie will take an unbeaten record quite happily, whatever trash the opposition and their supporters talk.

    (How his actions on this forum mean he is or isn’t a great goalie I have no idea btw).

    to reiterate I AM NOT THE BEST

    I try hard and I’m a pretty handy back-up goalie who can start if needed in this league.  I’m not the fastest but not the slowest.  I’m not the youngest but not the oldest (thanks Parsons).  I don’t need to be the best goalie in the league nor is that the aim of any goalie I should hope.  I just want to be better than the other guy on the day and give their team a chance to win.  I strive to improve and as long as I can still keep up, I’ll try.  Doesn’t bother me that teams like the Stampede think I am crap.  Young Jofa can trash me if he likes, I’m not threatened.  It’s motivational occasionally.  Makes me try harder.  Either way, I don’t think I’m the best.  I know how to make guys the best though, just can’t do it for myself.  C’est la vie.

    Big call bro, a few peoples comments does not mean the whole team and there supporters think you are crap, and sadly for us your stats also prove otherwise.

    One person does not make a team, I have the greatest respect for any player in the NZIHL, and as for being a goalie you guys must be nuts to sit there and have pucks smacked at you, must have taken some big hits early on to become a goalie.

    I have sources.  Clearly though if you guys rate me as you do, the senior guys must think the same right?  Unless you are a better judge of goalies then them.  I should qualify the statement though, I’m sure some players couldn’t care less who is in net, its just not important enough for them.  I’m flattered to get the attention though.  I’m the most popular crap player in the history of the nzihl and I owe it all to the forum.  Kudos.
