Goon Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Other forwards like Kovalchuk are as bad as -30. Kovy is being paid 6+ million a year to suck... Quote
petey23 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I just watched NHL Overtime on Versus, and one guy on their ripped Zajac's play pretty bad...on the defensive side. He basically said he's sucked. I peeked at the team's +/-, and Zajac is at a sub-par -9, but that is FAR from worst on the team. Other forwards like Kovalchuk are as bad as -30. Sounded pretty unfair, especially considering that Zajac seemed to be a guy who earned his way into the lineup each night for not only a solid offensive game, but a good defensive game as well. It has to be hard to put in your full effort nightly at this point if you are a New Jersey Devil. They've, as a team, been brutal (injuries aside). Quite the drop off for Zajac who in my opionion should have won the Selke last season. Quote
lawkota Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 My apologies if this was mentioned elsewhere, I didn't see it. Terry Casey's #12 is being hung in the rafters tonight. Link to Herald Article I know that nobody has worn #12 but I did not know it was "officially" retired by the University in 1968. I had always thought it had been "unofficially" retired by Gino when he took over the program. Quote

JESUS,family,rutgers Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Hi AZ, According to the Saint Louis Blues website,Chris Porter is still on the team.--Thanks for all the work you do. Wish the Devils were doing more to help out Zajac and Parise ! Quote

Looks like Mike Prpich has only played half of the games this year. Must be an injury as he's still #5 in scoring and #3 in penalty minutes for his UK team. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/csl.php?tid=4130 Quote
mikejm Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Interesting article from the New York Post about Parise's future in New Jersey: Link Really misleading headline. But an interesting article nonetheless. Quote
ScottM Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Really misleading headline. But an interesting article nonetheless. Say what you will about the Post, but their sports writers are some of the more astute in the NY area. From my own point of view, I would not be surprised to see ZPar at least test the market, especially if the Devs haven't really done anything to rebuild their franchise. Quote

MadDevil Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Quite the drop off for Zajac who in my opionion should have won the Selke last season. I've seen pretty much every Devils game this season, and his defense isn't as bad as people make it sound. Just looking at his +/- you might think that, but when you consider the Devils have a goal differential of -55, his -9 isn't really that bad. Especially when you consider he plays 15 minutes at even strength every game. Plus he's actually top 10 (or at least close to it) in the league on faceoffs. The one part of his game that's suffered is his offense, and that's because of Parise's absence. That and nobody on the team has been scoring this year. As for that article on Parise, I think he'll resign with the Devils this offseason. Hopefully long-term, but you never know. The only thing that can salvage this season from hell would him resigning. Well that and drafting Larsson, Couturier, or Landeskog... Quote

redwing77 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Stafford went out injured tonight... I don't know if he returned. He went out in the first period tonight and still wasn't back at the second intermission. Too bad. NHL NEtwork commentators commented that Stafford was one of the major keys to the Sabres beating Montreal. He only played 2 1 minute shifts in the first. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Drew Stafford follows up a 3 point night vs. Toronto with a Hat Trick tonight (4 points total) vs. Tampa Bay tonight. Quote
fargosioux Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Drew Stafford follows up a 3 point night vs. Toronto with a Hat Trick tonight (4 points total) vs. Tampa Bay tonight. Looks like he's a restricted free agent next year. If he finishes strong, you've got to figure he might get a nice bump in pay. Quote
Goon Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Looks like he's a restricted free agent next year. If he finishes strong, you've got to figure he might get a nice bump in pay. Stafford has five goals in two games. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 per brads blog When Jason Blake stepped on the ice tonight for the Anaheim Ducks, it marked the 25,000th NHL game by a former Sioux player. Blake celebrated the feat in style by scoring a goal on that first shift. I wrote more on the feat in Thursday Quote

RedFrog Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Stafford with ANOTHER hat trick today against the Islanders. I like the way the Buffalo TV play by play guy calls the games anyway, but the way he called Staffords 3rd goal was awesome. "Boy do they come in threes for this guy!!" Edit: The Sabres lost in OT on a hat trick goal by Michael Grabner Edited February 14, 2011 by RedFrog Quote

RedFrog Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Stafford adds another goal...9 goals in 5 games. Broke his streak of scoring on 6 straight shots though. Also, Taylor Chorney with his first NHL goal on the PP tonight, also has an assist so far. Quote
Ray77 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Sorry if this was stated somewhere already and I missed it, but a former player's son - Josh Archibald, has committed to Blais and UNO. Very interesting... Omaha Flash... Blais, besides getting Cooper, also got a commitment from Brainerds Josh Archibald, a Mr. Hockey candidate on Monday. Quote
