GDT: #14 Devils vs. Canucks: Panicked Matinee Edition

[Devils Dominion]

Schlemko has actually been playing a lot better the last couple of weeks. He got off to a rough start with some bad turnovers/giveaways the first bunch of games, but he's been playing much better of late.

Moore has also been a very steady, reliable surprise so far as well, almost like a poor man's Andy Greene.

Yep on both players.

When Schlemko goes unnoticed for most of the night we know he's doing a solid job.
Though, I would like to see him waned off the PP.

Moore has been better than advertised overall, his elite skating neutralizes opponent chances and he's good at using his stick.

last year we had a fair bit of optimism going into the season. Got #rekt. Maybe this year it's a bit more of the expected, but after a poor showing it seems more surprising than it actually is

Hynes is giving "Gelinas treatment" to Schlemko. He starts almost every shift on offensive zone + PP time, so he better be adequate. He's a solid #5, what grind my gears is he on the PP over Merrill/Larsson.

It's like Harrold getting PP time over the kids all over again.

Dude is not an offensive defenseman by any means.

Yeah this was a pretty awfully called game, I thought even some of the calls against them were generous.

And what the hell does 5 minute interference mean? I didn't even know there was a 5 minute penalty for interference.

It's almost like the Refs were saying to themselves : "The guy is hurt so we have to give Larsson a penalty for....SOMETHING"

He is a better Cam Jam while also being slightly more insane it seems.

Hopefully he doesn't get on a shock-jock's radio station like Cam did, though.

From what place??
Would like to get a jersey from a junior team or maybe a Eagles jersey with Wood on the back

I bought it directly from the Sting Store, so it was quite pricey, but yes I would love to buy two blank BC jerseys and get them customized for Santini and Wood (poor Dudek)

Schlemko being on the PP is likely the staff trying to figure out which other defenseman can be used up top on the PP aside from Severson when Gelinas is not in the lineup and he's been the guy lately getting that chance.

Would like to see Larsson and Greene get more opportunities although I can understand wanting to limit their minutes on the PP as they play in other situations with heavy minutes as well.

I didn't see the Moore penalty but on Palmieris goal, Josefson had a pretty substantial pick of his own on the Vancouver defender.

noticed this as well. seemed like he was in the right place at the right time, since he seemed confused when the slap pass happened. but either way, he was crowding around the net, which i thought was a smart thing to do

Ya palms wouldn't have had such an open shot if josefson didn't do that but whatever things like that happen to everyone. Hamhuis was more blatant with his

Is there anywhere to watch a full replay of this game?

I missed a good amount of it so I would like to rewatch it if possible.

 

[Balance]

Jon Moore was such a good pickup. Remember rangers fans being a little dissapointed that they dealt him and I can see why. Dude isn't just a #6 dman since he can easily be a top 4 guy

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Just watched the replay of the GWG and that was some awareness by Stemp to let Cammalleri's slap-pass through to Palmieri.

He has been a good addition and really helps solidify the team defense. Young top-4 defensemen should cost more to acquire than Moore did; it was a shrewd signing.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Moore has been better than advertised. I have to admit I was skeptical of a young guy who got dumped from a contender at the deadline and was immediately not qualified. He's pretty solid and it's clear the coaching staff sees great things in him.

Fun fact - In 2009, ANA traded the 21st overall (Moore) to Columbus at the draft. They moved back to 26th, where they selected Kyle Palmieri.
