Shrewd signing by Sakic.Could be the next Grabner.

Its crazy that we have three rookies in the top ten in scoring so far!

Nico and Bratt each pacing a 58 point season based on 82 games.
on the flip side, i like the firecool post. someone needs to tell him to chill.... i get it, but keep ur mouth shut. he went overboard
He's been our best forward the past couple of weeks. He's taking control of play when he's out on the ice which is incredible too see from an 18 year old. There will be speedbumps and I hope he can work on his scoring touch a little bit, but overall, I'm impressed and satisfied with him and really excited for his future.Nico is actually on pace for 61 points, while only being on pace for 15 goals.
Pretty good for not even racking up a ton of goals.
It's not a fluke that they are where they are. This is a talented roster and I expect them to still be one of the better teams in the east at the end of the season. All the panic after the last game was a bit ridiculous.Tonight was vindication for why I wasnt worried.
I knew they had this in them. They just needed to go out there and do it.
This isn't last years team that would have folded like a cheap tent after a bad lose. Boyle had some quotes saying as much. They weren't going to sit and feel bad after Arizona.
I think with Palms back the team has the right mix of attack power and defensive responsibility to do some damage.
Just need to keep at it.
Two more facts.
Devils still haven’t gone two consecutive games this season without points.
Last year’s team won 12 road games all year. This year they have 10 road wins in 15 tries.
System. We can't handle smothering teams generally (sharks, performance against the Panthers), IMO, because we can't run and gun against grinders. That lack of being able to adjust is the knock people have with hynes, though gross seems to think he adjusts wellExcellent win and a good confidence booster. However, my problem is the long periods we get pinned in our zone continues to haunt this team. Is it the system or the players who can’t seem to win battles when the puck is in our zone? Also, I’m a bit greedy, let’s see the Devils get back to back wins this weekend
the good thing for the devils is they have played 12 games at home and 15 on the road. It might help them create separation with the rangers because they have played 17 home games and only 9 on the road.It took us until January 21st last year to get our 10th win on the road...in our 28th road game.
Took two penalties but otherwise I thought he was good. Dude can certainly skate.How was Vatanen last night??
