Poor Brodie:

Brodie's getting paid.

Buyer's remorse?

Sorry to pick on you here, Papa, but I don't really understand why Leaf fans are surprised that Keefe knows how to do a defensive system. That was the most obvious change when he took over from shit brains.. Err, Babcock. The defensive game of the team changed dramatically for the better.

He has his flaws, for sure, and moving on was the right choice, but he has some positives too.

Didn't the Devils trade for a goalie?

Wasn't that their biggest issue last year. Everyone was touting them as the next best thing before the season started, but they had no one between the pipes.

26th. in GA per game to 5th..

A goaltender doesn't just stop goals, he gives confidence, and give the team permission to score.

12th. goals per game to 7th.

I have no idea, but
Bedard or Celebrini?

Is there a huge difference?
Really seems to be, or was, Bedard as the next one.

I don't recall the same hype for Celebrini.

3 NY state teams combined to score 1 goal last night while allowing 12.

All 3 are in a freefall and really have no way out. Except the Rangers. Shesterkin can get red hot and steal some games

Their goaltending has been better than last year, but nothing spectacular. They're currently 11th in the league in goaltending.
The team in front did however go from the 24th best defensive team last year to the 3rd best this year.
