Genuinely one of the dumbest and most pedantic comments I’ve ever got. You sir are going in my scrapbook.

You know when you say he’s carried his team’s water you imply he’s been a waterboy right? Or are you not enough of a journalist to know that?

Games in last 2 seasons: 164
Games Neuvy played in last 2 season: 86

That’s more than half.

And while playoff games are more valuable than regular season, I don’t think you can make good decisions based off that performance. For now, there’s not enough evidence YET that Holtby is better than Neuvy overall. It’ll take more time to know how truly good both players are.

Further, if Neuvy is talking about experience alone, then he is objectively correct about Holtby being the weakest yet.

I disagree with him “having carried the team”. The Caps have done well during the regular seasons DESPITe their goaltending, not because of it. And Neuvy wasn’t anywhere near being as good as Holtby, when he had the chance to start in the playoffs the year before. If Holtby is the weakest of the three, Neuvy defenitly is the weakest of the four. My opinion

I’m enough of a journalist to know that A) your argument has no substance (Neuvy has played more than half of all games in the last two seasons), and B) “extremely lackluster” is bad writing.

So then you saw him become his team’s starting goalie in 2011 right?

The aim was not to hurt your feelings, but question your general ability as a journalist, which clearly as evidence of this statement “That is some straight talk from the goalie who really has carried this team’s water for the past two seasons.”, is extremely lackluster.
