GDT: Outsider Wishing NJD Good Luck!

[MadDevil]

Did we really only have 1 win in the last 12 against them at home?

Have we really played them 13 times at home since the 2011 finale? Because that was a win, as was Marty's last game in the 2014 finale.

I know for sure we had lost 9 of the last 10 to them at home going in. Beyond that I don't know.

 

[The Wumpus]

4th game winning goal for Boucher.

9pts in last 11 games. He's arriving.

Great but this **** does not make sense

Dat negative Corsi

 

[MadDevil]

It's a small sample size, but I really like how Boucher looks with Zajac as his center.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I'm more happy that we get another GDT from our visitor

Someone should probably tell him we're expecting one though

He might be ostracized by the Bruins board.

Does anyone have the picture of Cory on the rollercoaster?

 

[JK3]

Oh no, the dreaded Florida trip.

I'd be thrilled to be wrong about Boosh, he looks like a completely different player. And I'm not just saying that because of the points. He's skating better, winning puck battles and showing some vision. The shot was always there but the overall improvement is fantastic. Hynes' background in player development has me even more excited about the next wave of prospects.

 

[NJDevs26]

Pietella led the team in SOG

 

[Bleedred]

I know for sure we had lost 9 of the last 10 to them at home going in. Beyond that I don't know.

Well we played them twice at home this season, which means we played them just once at home last season. And I think we played them twice at home the season before.

And before that with the old format, we played non-division Eastern Conference teams two times a piece at home and on the road. But with the lockout, we might have only played them 3 times.

2 back in 11-12, brings us up to 8. And then the last game of 10-11 would be the 9th game if I'm right. So we had two wins before that in 9 games, unless I counted wrong.

Both were season finale's in 2011 and 2014.

 

[Bleedred]

This game is payback for the game he started the monster scrub against us in December, in a non back to back situation and we couldn't score more than one goal on 30 shots against him.

 

[John Pedro]

Boucher's been great since Hynes put him on a line with good players and PP1.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

42 points in 69 games for Travis Zajac now, by the way

Good bounce back year for him. Still wish he'd use the slap shot more and just shoot more in general.

 

[thethinglonger]

Didn't see a GDT for your match tonight with Boston, but this Wings fan is rooting for you guys! Go get 'em!

Just so you know, you're going to have to come back for our next GDT

 

[Bleedred]

Yes he has. Too bad we don't have anyone good to play with Blandisi also. He is on a miserable drought and you can't expect much out of him with Sislo and Kalinin.

42 points in 69 games for Travis Zajac now, by the way

Yeah but didn't you hear he just matched his career high in power play goals tonight? So it's unsustainable!

 

[DerekDevils30]

Larsson saved a goal in the 3rd when Beleskey had what looked like a tap in off a rebound. He tied up Beleskey's stick just enough which forced the shot into Kinky's pads.

And, yes, Boucher is playing very well. He has some nice chemistry with Zajac which is great to see!

 

[tr83]

Boucher seems to be the first player that Travis has looked comfortable playing with since Parise

 

[glenwo2]

Oh no, the dreaded Florida trip.

The playoff dream is over, JK3.

It doesn't matter what happens in Florida.


Unless BleedRed is there heckling someone...

The combination of Hynes in NJ and Kowalsky in Albany has me extremely excited. Boucher took on a whole new form this season. He was a force in Albany and I think that's exactly what he needed to help improve his game here.

Despite what anybody else (outside of this board) may say, we have a bright future if we continue along this path we've set ourselves on

jagr?

im glad for the season travis is having production is proving me wrong. hope next season he and boucher will be able to translate it 5v5 production as well.

 

[Billdo]

It's a small sample size, but I really like how Boucher looks with Zajac as his center.

Wait, so he can actually play well when not paired with scrubs in the bottom of the lineup? Who would've thought...

Maybe, but I think Jagr was more of a balanced player. I don't think Travis is a finisher, though he could be if he would shoot more. Boucher is more of a finisher than a playmaker, so maybe Travis knows his role?
