I'm not a big fan of "scoring chances" in general, but where do you find this by player? Like SOG, every rink counts them differently, but I dont see it on NHL.com.

Todd Cordell brought it to my attention, but I use naturalstattrick.com. At least this year. I used to really like war-on-ice but it's gone now.

I've watched all 5 Devils games, and if you told me Nico was 2nd in "scoring chances", I would have told that person they were crazy.

Now, I 100% would have guessed he was #1 by far in the Home opener, but after that? I dont see it.

Unless he had so many scoring chances in that game that it's lifted-his-boat through the other 4 games given we only have 5 games of data points. :dunno:

EDIT: Though come to think of it, he has been on the ice with Hall quite a bit, so that might explain a chunk of it.

Is this coming from the main board? I don't think anyone here thinks that that? Do they?
I'm guessing it's mostly come from the main board. Someone started a poll comparing him to Keller and Marner and now some Leafs fans are parroting the "he's not ready" narrative. He obviously has some physical issues with the NHL and needs to get stronger, but he has an NHL skill set and can absolutely play in this league with speed and skill.

Are you implying that Hall is selfish or something?

Was anyone listening to Boomer's radio show this morning? Some people on Facebook said he was calling Nico a diver, what a jerk off if true. Bury your sour grapes Boomer.


I actually listened to the show and heard Boomer call Hischier a Diver.

Nice that we have a DEVILS FAN Jerry Recco(sp?) to defend him and REMIND Boomer that the Devils won another game. :D :D :D

The only thing many folks see in a new player is flash. With a team like NJ they aren’t going to see Nico’s defense and the other detailed things he can do. Heck most fans aren’t going to see Nico at all since they don’t watch NJ games. Nico brings so much to bear both on and off the ice and he is handling it with grace and style. Anyone who thinks otherwise is entitled to their opinion but other than saying “he isn’t Matthews or McDavid” you don’t hear real substantive arguments.

I think he's implying Hall (being a good playmaking forward) is the main reason Nico still is getting scoring chances. I don't get why you have to read the most negative connotation into everything.

Because the start of the post indicated how Nico was only getting 1 or less shots a game and then the EDIT which basically implied that Hall is the reason.

But apparently, it's the opposite so nevermind.

I'm glad to see he broke the seal in a big way, and in a win too. I hope he continues to pot them consistently throughout the season.

Huge grats to Nico on his 1st (and 2nd) NHL goals tonight, much deserved and crucial for the relief and confidence it brings.
