[Signing] Penguins sign Antti Niemi


Recommended Posts

im interested in seeing how this plays out.  i would of went in a different direction myself.  will niemi work ok with Murray?  im concerned niemi may of been part of the problem with his partnership with leighinton.  

 

maybe this change and murray being the guy will make it smoother.

.909 still not much of a difference behind the penguins team. Niemi will put up better numbers then fleury next year with the pens, watch

meh - two years ago it was .921 to .905.  not really an insignificant gap - and the Pens didn't wake up until the stretch run.

 

Anyhow, Niemi is ok but hasn't been very good the past few years - hence the buyout and 700k cap hit.

Never liked him, always overrated and in my eyes his the worst starting goalie who have won a cup in the past 30 years. He can hide behind the defense in the Penguins and salvage his career save percentage.

Niemi is a Stanley Cup winner but he did play behind one of the best defenses ever assembled in the last decade at least.

 

I'm glad the Canucks are looking ahead as opposed to looking to the past for yesterday's news.

Are we playing jeopardy or something? I'll play along.....The answer is.....Who have the Canucks signed that are at least 6 years younger than Niemi?
