Moral of the 2010 hockey tourney. Goalies matter more than any position, very likely in any sport.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Feb 26 '10, 14:01

Only other position that enters the discussion is pitcher in baseball, but that falls short imo.

I said this the other day. In a single elimination tournament it can be everything. -- nm - pmb Feb 26, 14:13
I swear one of the commentators sounds like you - amoxy Feb 26, 14:06 1
- Well, it's not me. The lack of 4-letter words should be the first tipoff. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:07
i think the pitcher comparison is apt. you get help from your fielders and they can cover your ass to an extent - Guy Feb 26, 14:04
And catcher might be closer. -- nm - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:03 22
- No chance. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:05 21
  - Catchers control the pitchers and a good catcher can make up for a less than good pitcher. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:07 16
    - A great catcher at calling games with.....say.....the Nationals pitching staff is not going to do much. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:09 5
      - And a bad catcher can still screw them up. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:13 4
        
        he could also tell the batter what pitch is being thrown, but you're still wrong. - Guy Feb 26, 14:14
        
        In no world ever is the catcher more important than the pitcher. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:14 2
        
        Never said he was. I think they're actually both important. -- nm - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:15 1
        
        Yes...you did. Me: Pitcher is the only position close to goalie importance. You. Catcher might be closer. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:17
    - not really. it makes a difference, but not like you're suggesting -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 14:08
    - (ok, maybe i was wrong.) -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 14:07 8
      - as far as goofy make shit up arguments go, this is a good one. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 14:08 7
        
        The pitcher and catcher are a team within the team. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:11 4
        
        This is like saying that Tiger Woods' caddy is why he's won 14 majors. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:12
        
        the catcher is an important position. More important than the pitcher? Hell no. Most important in baseball? Pass that crack pipe over here. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 14:12 1
        
        Didn't say he was more important, but that it might be a better comparison to the goalie. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:14
        
        Which one are you? -- nm - RC's Mom Feb 26, 14:11
        
        How can you them apart? (nm) - musubi Feb 26, 14:09 1
        
        for this one, at least, it's one that I've literally never heard anyone espouse, ever - Reagen Feb 26, 14:11
  - Not in importance. I'm assuming she means in terms of gear and, like, that they both catch shit going really fase. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 14:06 3
    - To some degree. -- nm - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:07
    - but missing one doesn't result in a score (usually) -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 14:07
    - *fast*. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 14:06
And never underestimate a team with onl two NHLers on it. - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:03 3
- Slovakia has a few former NHLers on its roster -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 14:06
- Yeah, that's not going to be the moral of any tournament. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 14:04 1
  - Switzwerland would not be neutral on this one. -- nm - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 14:05
