Was he ever really better than an average tier netminder...?
He was good when they made the finals right?

I mean, until he played the Penguins.

Never occupied a spot on my Conn Smythe Trophy Tracker at any point that playoffs, while several teammates did...so, he was probably just holding it down and not offering a lot of "plus" goaltending...which is how I remembered it and my contemporary notes back that...

I've seen clips of the Eller-Marchand fight, but I didn't see the supposed excessive celebration by Eller that started the fight. Did anyone who watched the game see it, and was Eller indeed rubbing it in on the Bruins?

Isn't much there but I guess I can see why Marchand would want to retaliate. The problem is he started punching a dude who clearly had no interest in fighting. Square up and fight. Don't punch somebody from the side who still has their gloves on.

From reading the toxic comments in the Bruins subreddit, Eller did the Hogan "I can't hear you" thing to the Bruins bench. Regardless, he was clearly an unwilling participant and that's no excuse to jump him. Absolutely should be suspendable IMO.

I like M. Jones. He’s a somewhat unique goalie in my mind. I think on an average team, he’s an average goalie - which probably adds to the cause of the team’s averageness. But on a good team, he can be great and elevate the team to a next level.

I’ll concede that this probably doesn’t make much sense.

Fleury is too up and down to be really be considered average...he is great is great and is bad is horrific...that doesn't register as average for me, it's in a different category.

Moreover, Fleury is better than Jones no matter how you slice it...

How many games does Fluery get this year? More or less than 45? If he scrambles his brains one more time he ought to hang it up.

I was implying he takes a knee to the side of the head at some point and misses 20-30 games from that alone.

I bet against them making it, but just because I got great value to do so...

Arizona.

Again, I don't necessarily believe that...but the value is so good...

I could see...

Wpg
Nsh
StL
Dal
Col

Arz
LA
and then I guess one of Ana/SJ/VGK though, really LA is like SJ is like Ana...old. And not fast. If a fast team can get figure these guys out, there are a ton of points to eat up there...a ton...whoever has that answer, wins the division...if no one has it, those slow teams make it and then get roasted by Winnipeg or Nashville when the time comes...

Nonsense. He's one of the few I don't really like...or am unsure of him...I question is hockey sense, which is weird because his dad played...

But Fischer, Dvorak, obviously Keller is already a brand name, Perlini is on the rise, Strome needs to figure out what he is still...but they have some guys there...

Then a defense of OEL-Demers, [garbage]-Hammer, Goose-Oesterle backed by Raanta...that's not bad. You get one more guy in that group that doesn't stink, and you have a defense...

I'd never say no to a team led by Connor McDavid...but, boy, Troy, they were awful quiet in the offseason, huh? They must really trust this group because there's a ton of the same faces here from last year...I believe in McDavid, so I'm with it...but I don't know if they're really smart or really blind...

Then again, a lot of turnover is not always positive - even if you lose...

I also didn't realize that Sekara is out again. I think last year he went down to start the season, and their d, which was already thin, was thrown out of whack.

I still think their floor is as a playoff team, but light years behind WPG and NSH at the moment.

As much as I dislike them...first round pick Evan Bouchard is exactly what the doctor ordered for this defense corps...a puck rusher...

CBJ can’t get their laser show to turn off. Game has been delayed for over 10 minutes

Everything came together miraculously for them last year. No way their entire roster overperforms like they did.
