Rather one great line and 3 meh than 2 mediocre and 2 meh ya know?
My bad, everyone could’ve seen Kovy being the best defenseman on the team and Nemec suffering a significant offseason injury that has clearly hampered him and caused him to play significantly worse than last season.Goaltending is far less of a problem than poor team defense ... Zero forward support and terrible defensive lapses regularly
On a side note: You all thought I was nuts when I told you Nemec would be out of the lineup this season too. @SteveCangialosi123 said it would never happen.
I honestly think most people can't see poor or good defense...and if they can't validate either with a matrix it doesn't exists in their view
You crawl around in the woods with a bow and arrow and need a microscope to make artificial bugs but sure it’s because of Nemec we think you are nuts.Goaltending is far less of a problem than poor team defense ... Zero forward support and terrible defensive lapses regularly

Time to call up Foote? I think he can play C?
I tend to agree. Not sure he is going to beat out Kovacevic any time soon.Nemec needs to either be sent down or played nightly; this is not good for his development
A week isnt the end of the world but we are as healthy as we likely will be all season. If he hasn't gone down yet, when will he?
A 20 year old should be playing
I’m skeptical anyone on Utica can fill an NHL center roleTime to call up Foote? I think he can play C?

I think they have even more incentive to go 11-7 now with Lazar out, nothing really there in the AHL center wise - might as well double shift someone with Bastian and Tatar.Nemec needs to either be sent down or played nightly; this is not good for his development

A friggin' Crime against Humanity, I tell you.He should be fired for that tie.
You would think they learned something from the Holtz situation two years ago when Fitz admitted he made a mistake icing him in the press box for months. Especially since they have more hopes for Nemec than they ever really did with Holtz.Nemec needs to either be sent down or played nightly; this is not good for his development

Rates don't matter. Quality of looks matter. I think everyone falls into this trap but if you could factor in Bayesian causality as to *why* a goaltender gives up a goal instead of of just counting how many shots are from this close or at this angle. I literally described l like ten specific nightmares above.Does NJ give up bad looks at a much higher rate than other teams? I’m not being confrontational I’m genuinely curious. A couple of games this season have been scrambly but not all of them.
It’s been three games. He’ll most likely go on the road trip and be sent down then is my guess. If he doesn’t play at any level for longer I’ll be pretty upset.You would think they learned something from the Holtz situation two years ago when Fitz admitted he made a mistake icing him in the press box for months.

Lolz. That's damning with faint praiseyou're right about that one. Pot meet kettle.
the team defense overall this year has been BETTER than it was last year. Easily.
