Good god

Yet I'm not shedding any tears for some reason.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Holy hell

Too ez, just another win for the fellas

 

[Bleedred]

lol Nah we should've started Marty more because the team couldn't score any f***ing goals at all for Cory. That was prime Goals4Cory era. IIRC at one point the team averaged under 2 GPG for Cory and nearly 3 for Marty

STOP! DON'T GO THERE! NOT AGAIN! Haha.

I'm having weird flashbacks to the claim that Marty's stickhandling actually was the difference in scoring 0.80 more goals per game (or whatever it was) when he was in nets.

I remember not believing my eyes reading that stuff and wondering if Sidney Crosby even adds that many more goals per game to a team. let alone a goaltender. There was no convincing me that a goalie (no matter how good of a puck playing goalie he was) was responsible for that many more goals scored per game.

I remember reading something once that seemed to conclude that Marty's stick handling added about 0.20 more goals per game than an average to bad puck handling goalie. I'm not sure if that was still a little too much. That's one more goal every 5 games, but it was a little more believable than 0.80 or 0.65 or whatever it was.

Devils are evil. Only Maple Refs can stop this. And it`s only beggining. If Zetterlund has higher pick and Holtz can score 25 goals(or more) on NHL level, with 13-86, Bratt, Mercer, Yegor, Holtz and Zetterlund this team will compete for many many years, if 13-86 will be healthy.

Holy hell

Follows the eye test. They freaking dominated us.

But we still won. So I'll take it with open arms.

Strug. El. Ing.

Holy hell

We've been on the reverse of this enough times it's nice to get one.

It's a really nice change of pace. I'd say the goalie stole one, but the Caps still would have needed 6 to beat us

lol We were on the opposite end of this against the Caps. This just evened things out

 

[jkrdevil]

They're the 21-22 Rangers. The team is really not all that good. Sorokin's carrying them just like Igor did the Rangers last year. They don't have the talent the Rangers do either so I wouldn't expect the same level of success

They’re scoring 5v5 unlike the Rangers last year. But who knows how long that will last.

 

[FooteBahl]

I’m sure it’s been said but it’s disgraceful Hughes scores a hat trick while shooting the puck at the net on only 1 of the goals.

1 is progress though

 

[Guttersniped]

Rather it be them over the Rags but, still... Thought they were old and slow. Still going strong just like their GM.

Name checks out lol

 

[BostonDevil]

He's with Hughes to give Hughes some defensive cover and to take face-offs. They're fine... and them being together gives us more depth elsewhere in the lineup. I love that we are a threat to score from every line. Hughes doesn't need much help to be a threat.

I’m just wishing he could finish a little better/at all.

 

[Hisch13r]

They're already cooled off a bit compared to what they were. Currently 9th in 5v5 GF/60 and 18th in xGF/60. Over time I imagine they'll fall back closer to their xGF

Good god

I don't understand why anyone was bamboozled or threatened by their hot start. It's now to the point where I wish they would go on another fluke run for 10 games, to kind of keep them in mediocrity and out of the Bedard race.

I don't think we need to really sweat any Metro team. We can out skate all of them.

Maybe the Canes as they should be winning more games then they are, but not the Isles, Penn teams, or the Rags

I only fear getting goalied by our NY Metro rivals.

lol Hart was averaging like 2 GSAx

Gato , dude could've said coke and it would've made more sense

I think we all agree with that. But I also think he's been a little snakebitten. He should start scoring.
