Only 2 teams i believe have an above .900 save percentage. I bet most teams have a great winning record when they get .900 save percentage or above.
Crazy how low the league wide save percentage is.
Maybe Tavares is the mystery Leaf Hughes was after? If the Leafs are gonna rebuild, Tavares must be available.
Josh, good point about teams opting for quality over quantity.
Bravo très bonne performance (contenu et façon de l'exprimer).
Struble was at the forefront of the second goal by Anderson. And was on the ice for two of the goals. His defensive game last night was great.
Great Update!!!!
Keep it up 💪
I don’t see why Toronto would’ve traded Mathieu knoes. I have a feeling we might’ve been trying to acquire Nelander.
Guhle looked way better with Carrier and vice versa
So struble, it’s on you to keep your place in the lineup and compliment Hutson
Xhekaj … I don’t know man, love the guy but he needs to up his defensive game not just intimidation , block shots , pick your spots for hits and stay at home and clear the net , that’s the biggest weakness for the team , that slot defending
"Comulative"
👋my take on trades, hughes had 1.7m , so couldn't pay any acquisitions anyway ,no money no candy🤷 but this summer he will acquire, I'm positive 👍
Hughes is going after Tuch from Buffalo
Without Xhekaj this team will go nowhere in the playoffs…its different hockey.
The mysterious trade is for Nico Hischier and Šimon Nemec
No, it doesn't. Shuffling the deck doesn;t unlock anything
I’d go with Doby again tomorrow
I am so tired of people talking about the average save% and if goalies are getting worse. The biggest difference is that they changed how they count shots. They used to count every shot that hit the goalie. Now, they only count shots that would go in the net if the goalie wasn’t there, not shots that are going wide when it hits the goalie like they did in the past
My hope is it lafreinnie or mactavish
Hutson could beat Robinson/ Habs record for D 😮😊
JD rookie of the yr!!!
I know we can’t lock in the D pairs after just one game, but weren’t we all saying how much better Guhle looked when we acquired Carrier last season? It’s worked before, for more than one game.
Please invest in a good mic. It sounds awful.
Keep Struble in lineup,has to remain physical,keep playing Dobes until he loses his playing edge . Nevermind yo-yo ING them Marty, he's an idiot sometimes
I am starting to think we might get a shot at mcdavid as soon as next year.
it might be Lafreniere
