Correct me if I've got my statisticizing wrong. Notice that DJ has the most shots against him (aside from a tie with Brad Guzen), and his GAA is higher than Brad's. Although, if you take any of the other guys ahead of him, and pad their stats to sit at the same number of shots against him as DJ has had, and pad their saves by the same percentages, you'll notice that DJ is the top dog!!

Now if we could just keep so many shots from actually coming at him...

In other words, by save percentage:

79% D.J. Countess RSL
76% Scott Garlick DAL
76% Jon Busch CLB
74% Zach Thornton CHI
72% Matt Reis NE
69% Zach Wells MET
69% Kevin Hartman LA
68% Brad Guzan CHV
65% Joe Cannon COL
65% Bo Oshoniyi KC
62% Nick Rimando DC
62% Pat Onstad SJ

D.J.: Saving our butts, one shot at a time.

And Thanks for those pics Deuce!

He IS the man! He's great! But as someone else said, we need to keep him from having to make so many saves! The whole job of the defense is to keep the ball AWAY from him.

Either that or they need to pay him more. He does the amount of work in one game that most keepers do in two or three. So they should pay him 2-3 times as much, right??? :D

Yeah!

We'll let you email Uncles Checketts and Pastorino about his pay raise. :D

I will have to keep those away from my daughter. She and a few of my students started a DJ club last night. Yes, Mike I'm talking about your daughter.

My thirteen-year-old daughter, who doesn't like the game, at least so far, was scrolling through the roster looking for "hot" guys. For some reason she suddenly wants to attend some reserve matches.

[Aerick]

So it begins...


We'll take fans however we can get 'em, right? :D

Besides, if the women in our lives know that "hot guys" play the sport, perhaps they'll be more supportive of our addictions, eh?
