And here I thought penalty killing was a unit that relies on all 4 guys to do their jobs effectively. The other 3 must be fvcking outstanding to be able to carry useless non-NHL player Yegor Sharongovich! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that second shorty, VVs eyes and body language looked completely shell-shocked. Then our bottom 6 guys stepped up, it was awesome to see. Selfishly, I wish they'd start their resilience a little bit earlier, mostly for health/stress considerations, but man, with goals like that and them FINALLY finding a pair and driving to the front and willing to take a hit, obviously cannot complain with the result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah obviously 4-1-1 in their last 6, which we'll all happily take (especially after that 1-7-1 slump), but definitely work to be done. They've given up 51 goals over their last 15 GP...would like to see them improve on that...hopefully Marino isn't too far from returning. Devils sorely need him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) And on a side note...much in the same way that Severson just seems to attract minuses (though he's a +3 so far this season), plusses just have this odd way of finding their way to Ryan Graves. For much of last night's game he was awful...I like Graves but I was cursing at him plenty...yet somehow by the end of the game he's a +3. And is now a +25 on the season (to lead the team)...if asked I would've thought he was a lot closer to even. And on another side note...Michael McLeod is on pace to finish with more points than Yegor Sharangovich (just two goals over his last 18 GP). That's kind of a problem...and it's clearly not lost on the coaching staff, because Yegor's playing time has been cut drastically...after averaging over 16:00 TOI in his first two seasons (and over 15:00 TOI through 24 GP this season), he's down to 12:32 TOI over his last 17 GP...and isn't really showing many signs of getting it going. Basically, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Fitz were to deal him in a "Shake things up" kind of move, especially if the Devils go into another funk. Of course he's usually been much more productive in the second half so far, but that was also with no pressure and his team already being toast. More and more it feels like he's writing himself out of future chapters here. Edited January 11, 2023 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious to see what happens once the Adidas deal expires.

Then maybe we can get a nice alternate based off the 92-2017 style 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 3 must be fvcking outstanding to be able to carry useless non-NHL player Yegor Sharongovich! Missed this reply last night but the timing of this article on SBNation today couldn’t have been better. TLDR; Sharangovich ranks 6th (out of 6) in goals against % of Devils who play regularly on the penalty kill. So, basically exactly what you said, but unironically. “…when Sharangovich is killing a penalty, the opposition’s power play is performing better and scoring more goals compared with other Devils forwards. These numbers suggest that Sharangovich should not be averaging over two minutes per game on a PK. If anything, they suggest that he really should not be on a penalty kill. The stats were relatively OK in 2021 but he was among the worst among qualified Devils forwards since then. From attempts allowed to expected goals to high-danger chances allowed to actual goals, Sharangovich is seeing the most against compared with Nico Hischier, Mercer, McLeod, Haula, and Nathan Bastian - who is currently injured. This is not good. And it is not as if Sharangovich’s shorthanded on-ice rate stats rank well among forwards in the NHL. I feel confident in stating that Sharangovich may not be so good at killing penalties. I understand that the Devils’ penalty kill is quite successful as a team relative to the NHL this season. I cannot agree that Sharangovich is all that good at killing penalties. The data in the chart supports that. To that end, it confuses me that Sharangovich plays regularly on the PK, much less that he has received more time on it compared with last season.” Edited January 11, 2023 by MB3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
