As I already pointed out, he didn’t. It was 2 years ago.

His stick handling and puck control is what jumps out the most to me from the highlights.

Actually, he was 8th. Palms, Nico, Zajac, Severson, Hall (in 33GP lol), Coleman, and Bratt all had more. Unless you were talking about his rookie season...

I don’t know that I’d say definitely a goalie. Blackwood could very well be the guy. I like the forward group a lot, but yes, another top 4 defenseman would be nice.

Playing for a Canadian team seems like a good way to not win a Cup. What are we at, 26 years and counting?

Underrated since then. Some of our own fans don’t even think he’s that good...

Really needed this on the sports front. My NFL team is off to a terrible start with our best player (AJ Green) getting injured in TC. Glad the Devils keep giving me reasons to be excited for the Fall though. That Ray Shero really seems to know what he’s doing.

Well, it was nice while it lasted...

We’d get a lot of opportunities to show off the new PP though...

How did he hurt you?

I mean, there’s no way people like Pavel Zacha this much...

Still better than baseball, where small market teams have almost no chance. Even with all the loopholes.

Doesn’t use his size enough. People complained about the same thing with Boyle to no end, but honestly considering their positions, and types of players they are, I think Mueller is an even worse offender. I’m not a fan (as made clear by my downvotes in the survivor game lol). It’s only one year though.

What was the deal with Niedermayer’s mom? All I remember about her was she was rooting for Rob to win his first Cup with Anaheim in 03.
