Is that the bible-belt region?

I think of the bible belt being more the south.
@SnowblindNYR pretty much got it. The "bible belt" region is pretty much the same as the Mason Dixon Line division in Civil War era times, but a bit more south to not include Maryland and the top-ish regions of WV and VA, and goes as far west as Texas. Kentucky and Missouri as well. Florida really isn't considered part of the BB though...Florida is....special...in many ways.

No put it does contain parts of what is considered the rust-belt region. These were areas that were primarily known for heavy industries that have since left.

But generally speaking the mid-west has a certain...surface friendliness to it that often feels almost cold and distant.

Zibanejad was filthy this year. Are we really killing him for 3 bad games in a post-season in which we had no real shot of making any noise? Sounds about right.

Maybe we can get Brassard back...he's playoff proven. ;)

Yes.. You want to be a 1st line center for this team then you have to set the example and produce like one..

Surprised there has been no Zibanejad chatter. We may be seeing COVID-19's impact, but his stats also indicate poor puck luck.

PDO: 949
Secondary assists: 0
IPP: 22.2 (historically 65-80)
Shot %: 3.3 (historically 10.5-13.3, excusing last year's 19.7)

No doubt reversion is coming.

Is that PDO really considered that low? Isn't 1.000 considered normal?

It’s clear that something is off. Either he is still not in game shape after the layoff/getting Covid Or has a undisclosed injury he is player through because our lack of C depth. A big issue forvMoka even when healthy and on fire is face offs. It’s the one thing in his game that is truly not good.
