2019-20 Quest for the cup(The Carter Hart era begins)

[Chris p Bacon]

Withholding judgement until we get to the 10 game mark.

I seriously think solidifying the goal tending is the absolute #1 difference. Seemed like every single mishandled puck (JVR) ended up as a goal against last year. For our defense and just about everyone on the ice, they were playing nervous (I'm being kind to JVR) . Just like telling a 4 year old to be careful and not spill your drink.

With the confidence you have a goal tender behind you that will make good saves, comes more confidence with the puck handling.

Also just from the first game, and what we read, looks like AV will not reward bad / lazy play with promotion to the top line (JVR). I don't think AV will create lines based on salary (JVR) . ( ...Funny we have a winger on our 3rd line who makes as much as our 1st line center.......) He apparently is making people accountable (JVR)

If he is holding people accountable, which I am a huge fan of, then JVR may never play. One demensionable player is one dementionable.

What a great all around game

Carter Hart with an all world save to turn this game in our favour.

Nice to see Provy with a blast as well

Great game.Nice to see Hagg hitting people.
Is it just me,or is the orange and black making Hayes play a little tougher?

How many years has he gone without utilizing his size?

Maybe it will run off on JVR.

Hart's composure tonight was awesome. I'll say this much, at least AV has these guys ready to play at first puck drop instead of waiting till the 2nd period to show up.

No doubt they are ready from the start. D is playing solid I think that the vet presence is helping. Far better than AMac and Gudas. Wait until G and Jake get going will be nuts!

That save was just dirty

Are the Devils that bad?

Another solid game all around for everyone. Buzzing on the forecheck, leading to goals.
2 PP goals. Killed two 2-man advantages.

Bring on the west coast trip.

And lastly, remember when I said it would be good to have depth so they could stay competitive when Giroux, Couturier, and Voracek didn't have their best games?

See October 4, 2019.

The depth is showing itself in a positive way

Maybe it will run off on JVR.
