2012 Draft

I think what you find is a massive discrepancy from tender to tender. The best teams put up really good numbers and the worst well put up Leaf like numbers. The AHL is not so level like the NHL.

Goaltedner performances in the AHL this season. Like I said the numbers compare very well to the NHL.

ok some number to kinda back up my point.

Jack Campbell top rated goalie in his draft year as you know.

2010-11 Windsor Spitfires OHL 3.80 GAA .884 sv%
2011-12 Windsor Spitfires OHL 3.13 GAA .906 sv%
2011-12 Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds OHL 3.58 GAA .892 sv%
2011-12 Texas Stars AHL 2.80 GAA .920 sv%

He had better numbers on a terrible AHL team than on either OHL team, one of which went to the West conference finals.

Maybe Jack Campbell is just poop?

Probably but comparing Jack Campbells numbers in the OHL to Jack Campbells numbers in the AHL was really the point here

Yeah it is odd when they jump up from juniors to minor pros (mainly AHL) their numbers get better. I guess there could be a whole range of factors there.

Bob.... Ahh, Bob. So good until teams discovered that to beat him, you only had to shoot waist high.

He is a machine against anything low though.

I don't know anything about the junior leagues other than the Niagara IceDogs, thanks NHL 12, but I've been hearing very good things about the Habs draft picks especially Alex Galchenyuk.

Before you realise that it will mean more minutes for Komisarek...... then it will work out great for Ottowa, Montreal, Boston and Buffalo!!!!

Shudder. I've just read your post and had a NHL12 Niagara Ice Dogs Be-a-pro flashback.

Anger rising....

Fuck you, EA. Fuck you.

A whole season playing for the Calgary Hitmen.
Drafted first overall by the leafs.
Spent several weeks getting over the dissapointment of being drafted by the leafs.
Played about 30 games for the leafs 3rd line. Lead the team in goals, points and +- despite getting no PK or PP time.
Game stoped loading.
Realised I a had wasted all my time.
Never played NHL 12 again.

But NHL 13 will be out soon, and i can delete the leafs before i start playing

NHL 13, online be a GM mode.


They have my money in their pockets already

Surely when it's out we start our own online league?

EASHLs is where it's at.
