Also, hot take, without Shesterkin, Rangers are only a fringe top 10 team. Gallant has them playing better than they are and obviously having Shesterkin is a massive benefit.

Unfortunate hot take from me based on last year..... Withiut Anderson and Raanta In net we drop from being the #1 or #2 team in the NHL to somewhere around 12th...

That’s valid, they saved our bacon multiple times. I know everyone was furious about moving Ned but it turned out to be the right call in hindsight.

Ned did what every goalie in our system does well when facing 25 shots or less..... Freddie is the only guy on the team who is truly a veniza caliber goalie when he's healthy....   If we had him available for the the Rangers series last season there is no doubt on my mind we advance....

 

One game but he's currently rocking the highest save % in the NHL at .9677 you win a lot of games stopping 97% of a team's shots.....

 

I think by design any NFL caliber goalie can perform well in Rods system..... Freddie is the only elite goalie we have had under Rod..... Even if go watch his play as a Maple Leaf he stopped so much crazy poo with nothing in front of him for defense and still stayed around 90%.... (amazing seeing how poorly they play defense) 

 

I said it all post season we protected Raanta far more than we would have needed protect Freddie.... and it took away from our ability to own the puck on the check.

This Devils/Flyers game is really good.

TDA is his old self, has an assist and was invoked in a good scrum.

Brendan Smith already hurt for the Devils…

Dougie Hamilton and Erik Haula out there for the Devils as well.

Dougie is a less athletic less effort intensive Brent Burns.... 

 

Smith will probably play through it... 

I liked TDAs game but he was way to lateral on the PP....

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
