[Cordell]_Poor Timo Meier. He led the Devils with an absurd 94.75 xGF%(!!!), drew a penalty, and was involved in the making of a few good chances. His reward was 0 points (again) and having his head taken off by Trouba. Hopefully he gets healthy ASAP and enjoys some R2 regression.

What does “94.75 xGF%(!!!)” mean?
He wasn’t on the score sheet but Timo definitely got in the rangers head and was disruptive to their play .
Why did they hate him so much? Because of his xgf%!!!????

The Timo Meier test is a good way to tell which writers/analysts actually watched our first round series closely and which ones didn’t. If they say he was awful, an offensive black hole, etc., they probably just read a stats sheet and focused on watching other series. It’s fine to say that a goal scorer has to find a way to get on the score sheet no matter what, but you can’t just leave it at that and not mention the impact he had on the series with his physicality, passing, and generally pestiness. He (and his linemates) just had zero puck luck and had to play against a star goalie who stopped a bunch of shots that should have gone in.
Troubas hit on him was like a large bitch baby having a tantrum because they are garbage.
I said it in a post yesterday. I’ll say it again. Even though he didn’t get a single point. We need his presence. He definitely had some impacts on key moments but points just weren’t rewarded for those efforts.
Shhhhh we want this. Team success while Meier struggles in the post season. That way we sign him long term for cheap. Then he is on fire for the next 8 years
