Would have been nice if that ENG by Foligno at the end would have counted lol
Great win nonetheless. I was so ****ing happy when I saw that puck go in. Nice to see the Jackets actually score a late one for a change.

He doesn't waste time with a wind-up. On pace for 15 or so goals. That would be a franchise record for goals by a defenseman, no?

Damn you hate on him so much. Like almost bus Wis level, just not as vocal about it.
I suspect that like you, I prefer our defensemen play defense well first, then contribute to the offense.
The good thing about Savard is that he's young. He has time to continue improving and developing into a better defender.

I think he looked pretty shaky tonight. Yeah he made some great saves, but they were REALLY awkward. He was fighting the puck most of the night and sliding around a lot creating a bunch of second chances.
Not saying he had a bad game, just every time the puck is put on net I hold my breath. I don't know if it's his style or what.
I agree, he made some nice saves but had me worried a lot more than he did against Boston.
I think he looked good FOR HIM. That performance would be a bad night for Bobrovsky. (And yes, last night was a bad night for Bobrovsky)
I won't even concede that Savard is lacking on defense. He's solid back there, wins most of his battles. I don't think he's had a night like this since 2013.
Good. A few more wins and there will be separation between us and the Flyers and then we'll be talking about fighting for the post-season.
Stars and Leafs are up next. Both offense-first teams we can easily beat if the team tightens up their play in the D-zone. With Dubi stepping up I feel this team can do anything.

Everyone needs to find video of the Savard goal from the Avs broadcast.
The color guy says, "I believe that's his first goal ever"

I'll disagree with that, but I'll add that most of us on these boards are like the Romans. We don't forgive our players for their sins. We crucify them. (Case in point, see my post on McBackup)

For Tropper this is an anomaly. For Morin it's nothing new. He makes smart plays to keep the play alive, and takes a lot of shots, too bad he only has 2 pts so far to show for it.
I'm still trying to learn all of this Corsi, Fenwick stuff myself. I do find it interesting that Morin regularly gets good numbers, so there must be something there.

For as bad as Savard was tonight for JJ to only be -1 corsi is impressive.
Right? Im a noob at advanced stats and don't entirely believe in them

Nice to get a win and good for Savard to get that game winning goal. You could see from that smile after the horn that he was relieved that after all of his mistakes he could help his team to win.

I have really liked Morin's play and hopefully he starts to gain some points too.
