June 3, 2025 NJD Thoughts: DeBoer's Flaw, Handshake Lines, NJD Rings, Trading Foote, Silayev's New HC

Just some more NJD things

Thanks for the kind words from the last post I did. We’re gonna try again!

Here now is Sebastian Aho holding onto Nico Hischier’s stick and then diving like a jackass seconds later during Game 3 to kick off today’s post:

1) I love Pete DeBoer but his fatal (only?) flaw is goaltender management and that’s been the case now in each of his last four stops now. I will never understand him running out Johan Hedberg as much as he did during the 2013 season while Marty was hurt. From late February to late March, Moose played 13 games and allowed 15.11 goals MORE than expected in all situations. Five of those games he allowed TWO+ goals more than expected. Only ONE of those 13 contests was he a slight net positive. Keith Kinkaid should have been given a shot at some point.
