I love when you bring me back to my childhood. Harvey and Johnson made Vezina winners out of Plante and Worsley. I don't think our defense will be able to match that.
Thanks for the memories.

Our defense will be good at limiting chances, but it doesn't mean anything if we don't get good goaltending. Marshall has always had the talent, but his problem has always been consistency. He needs to be dialed in more often. Watson is a good goaltender, but I'm not sure if he'll be ready to be a #1 right away. He has the potential to be that in the future though. I don't really expect much from Miller.
The forward group lacks experience but has talent. Once the young players get comfortable and the team gels, they'll be scoring enough. I think it will take time though. I expect a similar year to 19-20 with a slow start but a strong finish.
Luckily for us, there are 7 other teams in the conference that will be having that same problem.

My concern about Watson is that he may be injury prone. He missed the entire season in 2020-21, and IIRC the previous season he missed a long stretch at the start.

As a full time NY Ranger fan - I hated those Canadien teams. The defensive pairings were just too good. Shots on goal never told the story as you rarely saw their goalies tested more than once or twice per game. Doug Harvey just made it look so effortless. It has been obviously over a year since I have had the chance to see our defense but Kjellberg and Klee impressed me at times and although Savory was superb at times, he got considerable defensive help as the year went on and the defense started to develop a cohesion and the communication necessary. I would love to see Linden put it all together. I think he has had the talent but not the consistency. But goal tenders can be funny and just suddenly the switch can turn on and confidence is a very strange thing.

Coach Moser to UVM in what seems like a lateral move.... Comments?
I assume that you have seen this announced somewhere. It was commented on here earlier when it came to light that he had applied for the job. It was blamed in large part to the furlough of assistant coaches last year and the fact that they had to do things like administer covid tests when they returned to work.
I don't think UVM is a step up from RPI in its future or as a program. I think the furlough probably just ****ed him off (as it should). Can't blame him for wanting to leave after that. I also would like to know where this was reported
