Brewskies Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Sunday, Travis Zajac tie Bobby Holik for the third most goals scored as a Devil behind John MacLean in second and Patrik Elias in first. Also Travis is in third place for the most points as a Devil behind MacLean and Elias. These are great accomplishments for an average hockey player from Canada ending an 8 year $46,000,000 contract that most Devils' fans bitched about the length and amount when given and for year's after until lately.

The 8 year deal is the only reason he came close to 202 goals. Aside from a couple seasons with Parise, did he even have 20 in a season?

Yeah, as much as I like Zajac, whatever numbers he has, he's compiled his way into having them...when you've played well over 1000 games (and have been counted on to provide occasional offense), you'll put up 200+ goals. It has been fun seeing him put up 14 points in his last 16 GP though. And no small feat to play as many games as he has...not like tons of players have done it.

Obviously I don’t have a problem with it, I like that he contributed in his way. But there’s no question, his longevity is the reason he scored those goals.

Nicomo Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 He probably has a case for being the second best two-way forward the Devils have ever had though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that’s not it. I just found the way you said it funny. I like plenty of things that don’t show up in box scores. I don’t like a supposed #1 center that doesn’t score. I don’t think anyone should.

The team was known for defense for like two decades. Zajac probably being the 2nd best two-way forward we’ve ever had after only Madden (who won a Selke) is pretty good. It wasn’t meant as a backhanded compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never get like you were just killing a penalty, it was almost like you knew that was going to happen and you only had to think about what else they could accomplish on the PK.

There’s a good argument for that. I once helped him pick out a tie while shopping in Bloomingdale’s in the Short Hills Mall. I then bought the same one lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think so but he has in my opinion been the most consistent player the Devils have had over his tenure with the Devils. He has been a solid two way center that played 5 on 5 and PK. I just think he deserves a little love from a fan. So I pointed out his accomplishments. Do you agree regarding him or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Travis a lot. He has been consistent scoring goals in the teens per season for years. The only point I was making was that it was more his longevity than his offensive prowess that led to 202 goals. I don’t think anyone can legitimately dispute that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Speaking of Madden, I always think about this assist he had on probably the nicest shorty Gionta has scored. (Warning: This video was probably filmed using a toaster) And side note, when I was looking for that replay, I found this and goddamn, it really brought up some feels.
