He is better than Enroth . Did they just mention that Moulson has 1 goal in the last 22 games.

Pure goal scorer! Even Gionta has 3 in his last 17

I'm not familiar with the Devils system, but this looks like a team we could be better than next season.

The Moulson thing has me down. He does need to be surrounded by good players.

That's fine. No one ever said we should build a team around Matt Moulson

If he can score 20-25 with McEichel or Reinhart it will be fine.

Yea I think Reinhart will be able to feed him the puck pretty good.

Pretty bad when I'm putting some of my eggs in Scrivens' basket.

Wait. What?

The segment on the US Hockey sledge team is great right now. Then seeing them practice at the Harbor Center, (frank)ing great.

The highest I could see us finish in the east is 11th
Besides the current playoff teams,
Florida & Columbus will finish ahead of us

The rest of the teams in the east should all finish within a few points of each other

I thought that was the best episode to date. It started out kinda slow.

McEichel, Reinhart, McCabe: 1st year players.

Pysyk, Grigorenko: have some (SOME) experience, but basically still 1st year players.

Gionta, Moulson, Gorges: good, veteran leaders, but clearly best days behind them.

Goaltending: a total (frank)ing mystery.


They'll be picking 5-10 in 2016.

I appreciate your optimism...
But I think we move up the ladder in steps
It's gonna be tough to make such a big leap BC all of our top end talent that we will rely on is so young. It's simply going to take them time, not just to figure out how to play in the NHL, but also how to fit into their roles & how to play together...
And win
