Hey it's me goaliepost,
Vic did email me we did pass a few emails back and forth. We both agree all Previews (covers/espn/nhl/thesportnetwork/AP News/Etc.) are usually written the night before and under time constraints.
Therefore they most likely use 'guesstimates' when referencing goalies. This is why I don't post starting goalies in advance of the current day, except of course firm starts I put in the quickhits.
Now the previews are still valuable as they note statistic, streaks, and current rotations. As for them being a Firm or likely source, it'll probably never happen.
Vic was speaking his mind, which is what happens in a free country, we all want a free country don't we.
Yes, some days I am desperate for sources, some days I use forums as a source. Some forums have hard core fans on them that go to the morning skates.
Basically, I post every bit of information available about the goalies and you can make the final decision. This is why it ticks me off when people say "You picked the Wrong Goalie". No, I gave you all the info available and you picked. I introduced a colour system because some people choose not to read or follow the sources through - lazy I guess.
Anyway, my sites up and I reply to 'almost' every email. I accept good and bad comments. This site has come a long way since the 2006-2007 season because of the input I received.
If you've been around since the beginning you know what I mean.
