Winning with great young talent - I'm sure you know that feeling.

Guy heaping the praise on us starting around the 1:00 mark.

That pinch by Severson on the tying goal, is exactly the kind of player he is. That pinch could have caused play to go the other way, send the Sens on a rush or breakaway and end up down by 2 again or Kinkaid making a save, which leads to another defensive zone draw and still down by one. Or he tries to go for a safe play there, and we don't tie the game on that shift or possibly at all. He's a high risk and high reward type player. Sometimes he'll make blatantly stupid play or lose his man on a goal or chance against, but many of his gaffes are due to the fact that he is a puck possession player and a play driver. His gaffes seem to stick out, but I'm very confident in saying he does much more good than negative.

 

[Bleedred]

9 points in 7 games for that cancerous and overrated loser that Chiarelli dumped on us, after robbing us of our stud defenseman.

 

[theoptimist]

Kinkaid is calming presence.

I also don't worry when he goes to play the puck.

 

[guitarguyvic]

I'm a bit baffled by all the Kincaid praise. He did great in relief tonight and has been a solid backup, but he hasn't proven to be anything beyond that.

Would be interesting to see him slowly eased into splitting the starts with Cory to try to get an idea of what he's got and if he truly is anything more than a backup.

 

[Just Win]

This team is kinda good

So happy that Nico got his first and second goal. I haven't been this excited about one of our young players since Parise.

 

[Blender]

Side note, incredibly stupid that we have our week off so early into the season. With how hot we are right now, this can really hurt going forward. Hynes needs to work the boys good.

This isn't our week off...

 

[Devils731]

This isn't our week off...

Which is good because the Devils can practice this week off while the bye week doesn’t allow much team activity, I believe.

He's 28 and has never put up the stats to make me think he's anything more than what he is, a ~20 game a year backup. Which is fine if Cory can start ~60 games a year.

This isn’t the bye week, so the team can still practice and hopefully Cory can recover from whatever ails him.

 

[Tretyak 20]

My favoritest gif of all time

Somebody seriously needs to tweet this over to Henrique or Kinkaid. The three rooks deserve to see it.

 

[FrozenJeffFriesen03]

Can we at least agree that when Kink is on his game, his rebound control is stellar. Compared to Schneider, when he's on his game, his rebound control is st..... pedestrian...

You really can't argue those facts. It's night and day.

Does he own stock in our team or something? Lol. Such high praise and I love it.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I think Kinkaid gets a lot of undeserved flak from people. He's a fine backup. Is he a starting goalie? No. Does he give you the best performance every night? No, he has consistency issues. But he's great for spot duty and the occasional start, which is all you can ask from your backup. He's rarely the reason we lose games.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

The Nico line was pretty dominant last night. Looking forward to tonight's game.

 

[Tretyak 20]

You wonder what Kovalchuk is thinking right now.

Probably that he'd be in the press box with Lovejoy.

 

[Maine Fan]

I never expected this kind of start for this season. More impressive is the come from behind effort. There doesn't seem to be any quit with this team.
Hats off to the GM and coaching staff.

 

[njdevil26]

Probably that he'd be in the press box with Lovejoy.

Kovy has 17 goals and 28 points in 24 games this season.... and he's getting paid more there than he would have here. I'm sure he doesn't give a crap what's going on here right now.

 

[MadDevil]

He's probably thinking "Hey, the Rangers suck and could be desperate enough to give me a bunch of money next summer".

 

[Wingman77]

Little unsung hero moment and very underrated play from Greene last night, later on in the game 3ish on 1 and Greene hauled ass back from the neutral zone to thwart the shot Ottawa's guy was about to take.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Just thought I'd bold and enlarge the only part of that sentence that matters to Kovy.

ehhh...lol. yes he has a smaller sample size than cory, but can you convince me cory is currently a better goalie than kinky using facts? i mean, i think cory is the better goalie, but i certainly couldn't prove that with recent stats.
