Yetman is perfectly adequate to be a backup on a contending team. Are suggesting that CB and VD did not win a championship because their backups were not good enough ? Both teams had excellent goaltending so their backups were not an issue. You should stop arguing this point now because you are coming off as childish and stupid. Yes it is obvious you hate Halifax ... but you are letting your hatred cloud your judgement and that just makes you come off as dumb as a post. VD and CB had fantastic backups even enviable. They just didn't cover all their bases in other departments. David Davenport was unreliable last year ... and I would say Yetman's numbers were better on a much weaker team. What other areas did CB and VD falter in ? They built strong teams that were strong from front to back ... but only one team can win it all. Lewiston relied heavily on their goaltender and actually had a 16 yr old backup ... how is that covering all the bases ? Lewiston benefitted greatly from finishing first overall. Your arguement makes no sense ... CB and VD did cover all the bases and yet they still lost. While Lewsiton didn't cover all their bases and still won. |

Is it not you who is complaining about the CB coach on their threads? As for VD there Goaltending let them down. Lewiston has defence, offense, a very very good goalie and an excellent coach how is it that you don't think they didn't cover their bases? They would have won the MemCup if they had have traded for Bourdon but that would have cost them this year. |

Quebec had a less than reliable backup when they won the Memorial Cup in 06.
Rimouski had even worse in 05.
Your statements about Yetman are just plain dumb.

You also realize Halifax had the lowest GAA during the series against Lewiston in comparison to the other teams they played... |

You mean VD should have gone out to get a goaltender who wouldn't suffer a tragic loss in his family during the playoffs ? VD went out and got the best goaltender available ... how can you fault them for that ? You already said that VD had a "fantastic" backup ... but you blame the starter ? Lew beat VD so easily because VD had to lay it all on the line vs CB ... nobody was to blame. CB is stuck with Vincent ... he is Coach and GM and he isn't about to fire himself ... but he did everything he needed to do to improve the team he had. To suggest he should have replaced himself is really grasping at straws. CB should replace him now ... should have replaced him 3 years ago ... I have said that many times ... but you don't often hear of a Coach getting fired when his team is at the top of the league and playing very well. |

They would have won the MemCup if they had have traded for Bourdon but that would have cost them this year. Lewiston did not have a strong offense ... they had a very balanced attack but lacked game breakers ... and their PP was not that great for what you'd expect from a top team. They needed to go out and get a little more offense and add more experience on the back end. I said long ago (after the trade deadline) that Lewiston might win the Q but would be outclassed at the Mem Cup. The Q simply was not strong last year and Lewiston stayed on top due to consistency rather than being a powerhouse ... they just weren't a powerhouse. They went to the Mem Cup and if it weren't for Bernier would have been embarassed. They lacked offense at the Mem Cup ... and no longer had the benefit of finishing first overall to carry them through. |

Look, did I not say that they had enviable goaltending just two posts ago. Life and Goaltending unfortunately let them down. I was cheering for them. They didn't make any mistakes, they had covered their bases. As far as CB goes, you want deny that you grind them regularily about Vincent that that's your issue. |

Its sad that you try to validate your season by the single meaningless win. Victoriaville beat Moncton in the playoffs the year before ... which was simply a wake up call to Moncton ... that win didn't make Victoriaville a good team suddenly. Its that same type of thing like Bathurst and Halifax fans like to say that they were "one win away from the Mem Cup" in a year when the Q was hosting ... talk about grasping at straws. |

Not validating the season...just defending Yetman from bucky who thinks he isnt even a good enough back up. |

I haven't any time to fight with you today I have to go for the weekend, but I like your comment about the "one meaningless win". It was perfect. Also your right I hate Halifax's team right now actually mostly Swan, and it does cloaud my judgement. But I stand by my argument if they are going for it they need to acquire a MemCup Goalie and a tested backup. We thought Blanchard could be one or the other but we were wrong and Nolan rectified that. Have a good Weekend |

We thought Blanchard could be one or the other but we were wrong and Nolan rectified that. Have a good Weekend Blanchard was never given the chance to prove he was capable ... he had a rough start to the season but then smoothed it out and was playing very well ... then he suffered a concussion and was traded a short time after he returned from that injury. It wasn't that Nolan didn't think he could do it ... Nolan didn't dare take the chance. Blanchard was actually one of the best goaltenders we faced in the playoffs that year ... he played great but was overwhelmed by a much stronger Moncton team ... his playoff numbers do not do him justice. I was opposed to that trade to get Tordjman ... losing Demers may have been the bigger cost. I was perfectly happy to run with Blanchard ... but my neck wasn't on the line like Nolan's was. |

If your name is Sharrow & that's meant to be Sharrow from the Moose and you're a Moose fan, do you think you're really one to talk ......  Edit: I see now you are a SeaDogs fan. I guess that's not any better, just more excuseable..  |
