And having young, marketable stars with a high octane offense. Our dynasty teams seemingly didn’t get much love in terms of national broadcasts lol

Back in the day before I could afford Center Ice, the ESPN broadcasts were the only ones when I could catch the Devils live. I seem to recall this Devils/Avs regular season game being on ESPN when Patty got a hat trick.



Ftorek throwing the bench was on an ESPN broadcast.

Jack was responsible for 15% of this teams goals.

Replace Jack as 1C with Nico and Nico with Huala or Mercer and your 6 top becomes instantly pedestrian.

A subjectively “pedestrian” bottom 6 does not automatically make for a team that can’t compete for a playoff spot.

This isn’t Taylor Hall having a career, MVP level season, dragging a team into the playoffs by a single point. This was a 112 point team that rattled off 13 straight wins and set a franchise record. It’s insulting to imply that this isn’t a solid team across the board.
 
I was going to look into the MSG+ subscription plan, but I can’t even find a place to just view the options. I don’t even think it’s available on Roku either.

FuboTV again for me, I guess. I actually like the service, it’s just incredibly expensive.

That's the fallacy of cord cutting. Any service that pays to redistribute content is ultimately going to be somewhat expensive. I'm amazed the public couldn't see that when the cord cutting movement got started.

Yeah that’s true. But there was no surprise like 25% price jumps during the year and I was able to just cancel FuboTV as soon as the Devils season was over…no returning a cable box or added hassle. If I still wanted to keep live TV in the off-season I could have shopped around and settled on a cheaper provider like Sling too. Obviously there are very few options when it comes to finding a service with MSG though.

At the end of the day, it’s still much better than being held prisoner by the cable company.

Can't say I've ever "liked" a Ranger...

Maybe a slight soft spot for Gomez, but even then I was pretty pissed off at him back in 2007.

I liked him from the time he was Jon Merrill's partner at Michigan and from team USA at the World Juniors. I tend to like the players that went through the Development team and I don't stop liking them when they end up on a team that I don't like.

Logical. I don't have an attachment to any prospects, well not until they become draftees of the Devils.

I don't follow any youth leagues or whatever.

Cord cutting was always going to be worst for sports fans because cable subscribers were subsidizing sports - carriage rates for sports networks are considerably above other channels.

College hockey is a lot of fun. I find the games very exciting and the atmosphere is super fun.

It's worth checking out if you have access to it.

Any word on the MSG/Comcast debacle? I believe we're going into the third season of this crap, and I would love to actually watch games normally on my TV without resorting to "alternative" means...

Taylor Hall during his MVP year contributed 16% of the teams goals...14.76% of the total offense 93/630 total points

Jack was 15% of the team goals. ...12.87% of the total offense 99/769 total points

It wasn't that far off.

In 2018 only 32 players scored 30 or more goals

In 2023 54 players scored scored 30 or more goals.

The rest of the team just kept up with inflation. Jack was the needle mover
