  1. Proud Canadian from Canada writes: Would like Olie the Goalie to give Ottawa a look. I was hoping that would happen before the trading deadline but now is just as good as anytime.
  2. Nicolas Perrot from Ottawa, Canada writes: I disagree. Hiring Kolzig would equate having a second Gerber imo. Ottawa needs a younger goaltender, and we must stop using the alternate system. Alternating between two goalie hasn't worked for Ottawa.
  3. Dave The Rave from Ottawa, Canada writes: Kolzig on the market certainly makes things interesting. Goaltenders usually get better as they get older. If Olie is motivated there are more than a few teams who can use him. Wouldn't it be ironic if he ends up in Montreal?
  4. Popeye Dillon from North Vancouver, Canada writes: Actually Dave goalies decline as they get older; particularly in their late 30's. Reflexes slow down and the knees and hips ache more.
  5. Dave The Rave from Ottawa, Canada writes: Johnny Bower would no doubt disagree with Popeye. Fact: the top five goalies in the NHL this year were all the 'older guys': Osgood, Giguere, Nabokov, Hasek, Brodeur. Experience pays dividends.
  6. g h from Canada writes: According to Dave the Rave, guys like Hasek and Giguere are better than guys like Luongo. Don't think so.
  7. Dave The Rave from Ottawa, Canada writes: 'Better' is always a subjective description. Fact is that Ozzy, Giggy, Dom, Nabby and Brodeur all had better seasons than Luongo.
