I'm grasping at straws here a bit, but I believe I saw an interview where Friesen actually went through a battle with addiction.. pain meds I think, did rehab and the whole thing. Think he's better now though which is good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 AFAIC if Schmid gets a start in the near future and plays well…give him a real shot to be the backup. We pretty much know what we get with Mac: injures and inconsistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy looks overjoyed every time he scores (I wish Bratt and Nico would celebrate their goals). It's great having a D man that can put up a decent amount of points.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Dawson now with 10 G and 10 A over his last 23 GP…this despite suffering through both a seven-game and five-game point drought within this run, and several games where he didn’t even generate a shot on goal (only 38 SOG over the 23 games). As one would expect, his shooting% over this run is rather bloated (26.9%). BUT, out of nowhere, he’s starting to put up a lot of shots on goal…a whopping 20 of them in the last five games. Obviously some numbers will start to normalize, but if he can just keep firing and getting opportunities, he could very well continue to be an offensive force. Would be huge for the Devils to find more scoring from within. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 What I noticed most about this run of Mercer's, is that he has no problem lifting the puck when in close. Love his genuine happiness too after scoring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love his genuine happiness too after scoring. He has a shot at 25 goals and 55 points...not to mention a second straight season of 82 GP. As we know, the 82 GP is a number that some Devils have had trouble reaching in recent seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty had a few really nice ones before he went to plain white towards the end of his career Funny, that equipment must look so nice when it's all completely pristine, no puck marks, scratches, etc. But of course they were never intended to remain that way. Marty had a good section in his book describing how he would break in new pads over a series of practices, before debuting them in a game, along with his other pre-game and during-game rituals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard that but I think the actual reason he won't be there is because the Sharks are retiring Patrick Marleau's number tomorrow, since he played with him for six years unfortunately we lose that conflict.
