Devils @ Kings - 6:00 PM - MSG

So Mercer taken down when his ability to play it to two wide open devils in front isn't a penalty eh? f*** these referees. They're incompetent.
 
You really think he's an AHL level player?
I'm not sure, to be honest.

I'd like to say no, but he's not been much better than one for most of this season. He was on a shooting bender early, then a 14 game pointless strak and close to 20 game goalless streak.
 
I wish he was contributing more offensively, but I've liked Mercer defensively tonight. Several good active stick plays to break up chances or passes.

He has 5 pts in the last 10 and is essentially on a 40 pt pace and is good defensively. Mercer's a perfectly good 3rd liner. The expectations of what he could be and the rest of the bottom 6 being a complete blackhole makes people shit on him more than is deserved.
