JT Miller with 0 goals 4 assists in his last 8. Only 9 SOG.
i don't watch all their games, but i caught the rangers game last night. man, what the hell happened to fox? is he injured or what? looked slow as hell and struggled to just enter the zone.
I think a series between them and the Caps where both see some shooting% regression back to the norm would end be pretty funnyBut they’re shooting way above league average. I’m pretty sure they’re like 25th or so in expected goals.
They may not be worst team in the league bad, but I don’t think they’re particularly good.
Their PDO isn’t high, but mostly because their team save percentage is so poor.
But they’re shooting 11.5% and league average is 10.5%. And that’s not including tonight’s results where they shot 18%+.
Also weak possession numbers and approximately a -200 shot on goal differential.
Feels like he is way more partner dependent then any of the other top dmen in the league. Constantly see Rags fans saying he's held back by Lindgren or Vaak or whoever. Even if that is somewhat true I rarely see that excuse made for any other top dmen. Hedman and McAvoy have spent a ton of time the past few years with 3rd pairing level dmen.He's overrated. I've said it a couple of times on the main board. I keep waiting for someone to prove me wrong, but nobody has made a compelling argument.
They had something like 2 total shots from forwards 45 mins into the game. Crazy stuff13 shots on goal? I didn’t even realize they were that bad when I checked the score last night.
I would laugh, but our first pretty, no offense game of the year, well prior to December 28th was the 18 shot shutout game to Vladar.
We had two Jack breakaways and probably 0 real scoring chances other than that. Score was 0-0 coming out of the final TV timeout with 5 and change or maybe under 5 left, before Calgary scored on back to back shifts.

Not just defense partner, I think he's also dependent on his forwards because he lacks the physical gifts of the other elite guys. Needs the time and space to play his cerebral style and when he doesn't get it he looks way more pedestrian.Feels like he is way more partner dependent then any of the other top dmen in the league.

It's a weird argument because a lot of the league's top dmen obviously benefit from having a complimentary top pairing level partner. Makar, Quinn, Slavin. At the same time tons of the league's top young guys regularly play with 2nd or bottom pairing level dmen and still manage to establish themselves as top guys McAvoy, Sanderson, Werenski, Heiskanen. Honestly it's impressive as hell that Hedman is still playing at elite levels with his most common partners over the last few years being Darren Raddysh and Nick Perbix
i hope the isles make it. it's such a fun timeline where the dogshit isles keep sneaking in.
I have to say, I don't watch many non-Devils games this year. I can't get into them. Of course I watch highlights of all of them for my goalie project, but I don't watch or keep up in real time. Especially if it's a game that has implications on us. Like all the bubble teams. Too much anxiety. I did happen to see the score when it was 1-0 Canadiens and 1-0 Rangers and didn't check again until like 10:18 PM when everything was over.Aghh it was 3-2 last time I checked.
@ Bleedred , you got to see the Sens 3rd goal on Montenblow …. It was a muffin clapper by none other than the perennial goal scorer - Hamonic ….
It was a unscreened / clear view shot from the point that Montenblow just “ missed “ on . I dint know how he didn’t stop it … it was baaaaaad
I had to look this up just to confirm, but this turned out to be Taylor's Hall's final game as a Devil. He was still on the team for another several days/games, but the game right after this they ''Scratched him for precautionary reasons'' and that's how it stayed until he was traded.I think that Rangers game last night was their version of the famous Dano game.

Devils with a zero effort game in Dallas in 2019 during an attempted retool. They tore it down after this.
I remember watching game this at a friends house and we were both like 'wtf did we just watch, what a mess.' Then I go on Twitter and see that in the postgame interview, when asked about the trade rumors Hall responded something along the lines of 'you should talk to my agent' and I knew right then that he was done.I had to look this up just to confirm, but this turned out to be Taylor's Hall's final game as a Devil.

I think this was about a week after Hynes was fired. I think we got outshot like 40-20 in that game. We may have even had under 20 shots.
And this was also the Stars first game with Rick Bowness as head coach. Jim Montgomery was fired on the morning of this game.
The contract number we were speculating here for Hall to re-up was between $10-$11 million and likely for the max 8 years.At least Shero didn't sign Hall to a dumb contract trying to save his job, or maybe by then the owners wouldn't let him.
The reporting was that Shero pitched the idea of a five year deal to Hall's agent and Hall wanted an 8 year deal and they never went past the initial discussions to talking money. One of the smarter things Shero did in retrospect. I'm tired of NJ having to overpay guys to play. If you want out, leave. I'm cheering for whoever is in a NJ uniform.At least Shero didn't sign Hall to a dumb contract trying to save his job, or maybe by then the owners wouldn't let him.
