Your take: Does Halak make the save?

posted by Kevin Mio at 19h17 EST on Dec 10


DS08 1210 Practice 517.jpg

Since we had a good response last time, we're doing this again.

This time, it's Mike Komisarek trying to undress Jaroslav Halak during practice on Wednesday, with all the action caught by The Gazette's Dave Sidaway.

So, have your say on the play.

Does Halak stone Big Mike, or can the injured defenceman roof one on his young goaltender?

The answer will be posted here on Thursday before the start of the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

If you flip a coin a thousand times, it should land on heads and tails an equal amount of times (or so they say?!)... Last time this game was played, I believe, it was a save. I'm going with statistics! IT'S A GOAL!

He's got the puck at the right place but i don't think he has the space, SAVE ______________________________________________________________________ It will always be the Habs vs. the opposing team + the refs + the goal judge...in Toronto. Yet we have 24 cups and counting.

Judging by the angle and flex on his stick,the fact that he looks to be going approx. 4 mph on a 47% angle from the net. I must take a guess..NO GOAL!!

It is a trick question. Komisarek miraculously flips it over Halak to O'Byrne who then misses the open net.... _________________________________________ "Respect your efforts, respect yourself.

I just ran a simulation using some very sophisticated computer software based on the angle and flex of the stick, while factoring in Komi's height and weight to find the trajectory of the puck and the results are in: No goal. I'm kidding lol. Nonetheless, I think Jaro gets the pad down and shuts him down. _____________________________ Koivu for Prime Minister :) Drive for 25!!

I say Komi somehow roofs a backhand Kovy-style... That, or Kevin is playing with us, and Komi skates it into the corner and passes to the front where O'Byrne puts it in the half-empty net.

Had I not seen the last one with Price, I would have said 'save' because that's what everyone wants to see, the goalie being awesome since there are 21 guys who can score(theoretically). Since this is #2 though, I'm gonna say goal, just to please the law of averages.

I'm a little more optimistic about Higgins iinjury after he said on CTV that he feels ok. maybe it's not serious after all. and just maybe we won't be forced to watch Lats skating, like a piano is on his back. that's exactly how he looks, a misfit.
