And I'll stop talking about the post-Brodeur era goalies here once other Devils fans swear to stop posting about Kovalchuk.
I'm watching that prospects challenge and see mentions of Kovalchuk in the comments on there. The guy was a great player (and an even better one before he got to New Jersey), but we've had way better players here, even if not many better at the forward positions. Even 35 year old 11-12 Elias had a greater points per 60 than Kovalchuk did that year. Taylor Hall's 17-18 blows out anything Devils Kovalchuk did.
And yes, I realize I'm pretty much throwing the first molotov right now that starts up one last Kovalchuk riot.... I mean conversation before training camp starts.
