I saw the one goal he scored for us against Pittsburgh. A ripper from the top of the right circle.

He assisted on another goal that day too. A multipoint game for Bobby Butler, the only game that he registered points as a Devil.:laugh:

LOL Didn't Matt0eau also score his first ever goal that game?

New scoreboard would be sweet. At one time ours was the cream of the crop. Then technology took over and things got crazy!

I'm trying to figure out what goal of his was easier. That one or the really soft goal scored on Neuvirth in 2015-2016. That one just found him in front of a helpless Fleury all alone, by total luck on a broken play. The other one was one of the softest goals I've seen in the last several seasons, at least from our team.

Didn't he have one other goal in the NHL? When he was called up briefly at the end of the 14-15 season? Or am I just thinking of a preseason game?

Most RFA's have been signed already. Anxiously waiting to see Severson's new contract.

If you can't see the difference between TRADING three young, cost controlled assets for a DMan vs. signing a DMan in free agency for nothing but $$, I don't know what to tell you

It's still better than the use of "could of" which I see far, far too often.

I digress... I'm not sure I can think of anything to be "a whole lot more excited for" as it relates in-arena entertainment.

She said she'd tell what it is sometime within the next week. Considering she's the Director of Hockey Communications and Content, it's probably something related to coverage of the team. Maybe Sherry or MacLean's replacements. Or the scoreboard people are talking about.

I just thought of something, and I'm not sure why I didn't think of it earlier.

What if Scott Stevens was the Johnny Mac replacement? He quit the Wild because he wanted to be back in Jersey with his family, he's already got a background in TV from working for NHL Network for a year. Why not him?

As a staunch non-believer of Hynes, I really think replacing Hynes with Stevens could be like replacing Hynes with another Hynes.

I feel like with Stevens, we would see an uptick in the usage of ''Dat physicality tho'' type defensemen. Dalton Prout screams that, out of guys on the projected roster. I'm not sure who the new Helgeson is in the AHL, since the real Helgeson was let go and THANK GOD of it! Even when Stevens was here in the past. It seemed when he left and we started that 14-15 season with DeBoer and no Stevens, Salvador's minutes dropped by 2 per game! He was always playing over 20 minutes when Stevens was running the D. We also seemed to have at least one of Helgeson or Fraser up at all times, upon Stevens return. If I remember correctly, Helgeson was sent back shortly after Stevens returned and Mark Fraser was called up and played over 30 games.

I'm not sure if Stevens is really a bad assistant, but I also don't think he's a great one either. I might not hate the idea if we experimented with replacing Nasreddine with him, if he's still out of coaching work when we replace Nasreddine. I also wouldn't be too psyched about it. I'd rather have him as a special assignment coach or like a Ryane Clowe type assistant, where he doesn't really control the D pairings and how many minutes they receive.
