Thursday Afternoon Goalies - Week 8

So, Happy Thanksgiving, I hope ya'll had a wonderful time. Anyways, I'm late with the rankings no thanks to Black Friday. Good new is though, that the FEDs are done, so that'll be up for sure tomrorow. Also, had to deal with the picks and thanksgiving stuff... long story short, we all got a turkey and sides. Going back to the goalies, you've got your main dish (generally the turkey), you sides (second-tier), the sides you hate (bottom-tier), throw some cider there (fourth-tier, unfortunately, there was no alcohol in my household), and finish off with the pie (third-tier) and "boom" you've got your meal. Putting that in terms of goalies...

Pekka Rinne would be my turkey, he's huge, is the best goalie in the league, and the center piece of the table. My sides would be stuffing (Kari Lehtonen, because he's had the stuffing beaten outta him a bit this season), mashed potatoes (Mike Smith, since many thought he'd be a potato in net, Jonathan Quick would be my corn, Jimmy Howard probably cranberry sauce, Lundqvist would be my gravy because he's good no matter what team he's on, or in this case, which dish! Tim Thomas would be my sweet potato because even though it's great to eat, you can't have too much, which is what the Bruins have been doing with him. I'd have Varly and Ryan Miller be my green beans and squash respectively, along with Brodeur and Luongo being other squashes. Fleury and Thedore would be my drinks (google Fleury wine and St. Theodore wine if you don't believe me). As for pie, there's apple (Vokoun), blueberry (Niemi), cherry (Ward), pumpkin (Khabibulin), and pecan (Enroth)
