My point really wasn't about analytics at all. It was about there's more to saying whether the team is good or bad than Wins/Losses.

You can make that analysis with analytics, viewing, systems, etc. But it wasn't a false dichotomy. Glenwo was acting like the Devils are terrible now because they lost two (competitive) games in a row.

3 games.

The OT loss is still a loss.

They didn't play great against the Isles, too little too late and all that.

They put up good-to-decent efforts against the Rangers and Stars. They were good games. Sometimes you lose.

My point stands.

Sure.

Just correcting you a little there.

Agree and Bratt is someone I actually don't want to see trying to block shots the way Zetterlund does and that goes for Jack Hughes too, at least not until we get to game seven of a playoff series and even then . . .

If you get in the lane most of the time you don't even have to block the shot.

Other than some of the lunkheads the Devils had in the past or former Ranger Willie Huber (random reference - see Montreal-NYR playoffs (believe it was the last time they won the Cup)) - most defensemen won't shoot the puck if the lane is taken away.
