The amount of times I've seen the actual number 87 the last few days is f'n astonishing.. And weird... Like even our active covid cases are at 87 for a second day in a row... That's first time it's stayed the same for any days in a row...

He really backs up the D. You can tell opposition dmen can't handle the speed. The old saying... If he's even, he's leaving.

His speed is a great asset. He really opens the ice up. This game was the most open we've seen in some time.

In Dumo We Trust (at least for now). He logged a lot of minutes and played really well.

Not bad for a guy who can't score enough to stay in the top 6, right?

Also ZAR is playing at a 30 goal pace.

Let's just enjoy these things while they last.

I will probably say the fact that he's got a +11 goal differential (21-10) at 5v5 is the most surprising to me.

Usually you don't use plus/minus haha but it is crazy that the whole team is plus 1 and he's where he's at.

Oh I’m not using plus/minus. 5v5 goal differential is much different than +/- to me.

Gotcha, then it's just coincidence that he's also a plus 11. Means he's doing the bulk of his scoring ES.

Edit: I see, that subtracts from 4v4 and 3v3 and shorthanded goals against/for

a little better player movement and crisper passing on the PP. Even though marino goal came like a sec after pp ended and only a 4sec 5v3, im starting to see a special teams turnaround. planning the parade as we speak.

Most importantly, it subtracts 6v5 goals for and against. One year, Phil was like a -18+/- but just a -3 5v5+/-, which was from like 8 EN and 7 on PP. Over the course of the year, they start to add up. Especially for players like Phil, because he will rarely be on the ice for a 5v6 situation and always be on the ice for a 6v5.

McCann upper body. Go get Geno a winger, then acquire a third line winger.

And the third line winger could also be the right handed pp specialist for example like Pageau(know he's not available and won't acquire him)

Geno and Letang should be like Sid and have their cap hit be their number on their new contracts. 7.1 and 5.8 sound good to me haha.

You're tough on guys. I heard somewhere ZAR is a 30 goal scorer.

Zucker on LTIR, out minimum two more weeks.

What's the word on McCann? He's being evaluated?

Lol hey just trying to construct the best roster we can haha. Zucker I would imagine is out this whole month at least. And yes McCann is upper body, being evaluated. Also that 4th line can play 3rd line minutes. Sully loves to roll lines so have all of them be good at least.

Yup, that's why I use 5v5 or even strength. All of the arbitrary bs with regular +/- can skew perception imo.

Lol he's so bad. He's honestly just good for kids entertainment. Mears isn't bad, he's just bland. Steigerwald was the worst, he was just a few notches up from Jack Edwards. Lange should have never been removed from TV. It sucks we lost our two best voices of the team in Lange and the PA announcer John Barberro.
