Im glad you brought up Butch... Why did he play so little? Is the plan still for him to be sheltered? There are rookies that smoke him in ice time. He clearly can handle himself. We won so its not terrible but I hope this wont be an ongoing thing with Hynes and Butch.

Glad Mueller is getting some recognition, as he really has been solid. Nothing more, nothing less. And we desperately needed a solid D man to step up and carry some of Greeners minutes. Still curious why we are playing Lovejoy? What was the purpose of signing Santini to a one way 3 year 4.25M deal? He is already the better player and at 23 its time to throw him in the mix.

How dare you question Lovejoy getting PT over Santini! Need I list all of the qualities he brings to the table? PK Ability, Shot blocking ability, veteran presence, mentor to the young d men, locker room presence, leadership. The list goes on and on. Don't ever doubt Big Ben, a staple to the NJD defensive corps. He deserves to play over Santini.

Butcher got over 17 minutes overall in the game. Just not a lot vs. McJesus. It's not a ton but it's respectable and probably the right amount for him.
Most guys were around 21 minutes. Love Joy was under 16.

I'd like to see Butcher with Santini or Gryba to see if that works.

I'm surprised McDavid didn't get a hat trick in the 1:03 Lovejoy was on the ice.

Anybody watching the Behind the Glass stuff? It's been cool to see the players and coaches talk about what goes into the team and how they make decisions. Worth a watch.

I've only seen parts but it was pretty interesting. I thought it all reflected well on Shero, Hynes and the organization. Glad to see the team getting some attention.
