Missed it too. But whenever Weber does anything, I get a deluge of pollyannas on Twitter thanking the moon and stars that he's here and PK isn't.
It's basically Clinton/Trump but for analytics/non-analytics.

I heard during the game Cap swapped out Ladd for Beauvillier, bumping Ladd down to the 4th line. Yikes.
Yep! He's got 1 assist through 7 games. And that was on an empty netter. He looks totally lost. Meanwhile, Parenteau has 2G & 1A through 6 for the Devils. Snow should be egged for that move. WTF was he thinking? Parenteau isn't great but he's better than 1/2 the Isles forwards, was cheap, and really wanted to play with Tavares to recapture the chemistry they had previously. Obviously Ladd & Tavares don't have any fucking chemistry after 7 games. Both are suffering for it. Beauvillier is playing really well for a rookie. Can he keep it up all year? Time will tell. Barzal looks lost. I don't expect him to make it beyond the 9 games, even if he makes it that far. That said, given his moves lately, Snow will probably opt to keep Barzal and send Beauvillier back to junior. I'm expecting to see Steve Bernier called up and play with Tavares soon.
