Really wish I had stayed up for this one glen.

Wow, Rangers threads are hilarious in losses like this. Gotta give those guys credit, they know how to whine.

It’s amazing, I thought Jack had a really rough first 40 minutes and then he scores two of the nicer goals of the season

I went with Nico, Bratt and Tatar. Thought Bratt had himself his standard hell of a game, shame he was robbed of that goal on the offside call.

Nico is playing unbelievable right now. He made several strong back checks to break up rush chances for the Rags. It’s awesome to see him playing the best hockey of his career for all of us who knew to be patient and let him get back to full health.

Tatar needs to be allowed to wear the black jersey every game. Thought he was fantastic.

i’m not certain but i think one of them literally blamed the loss on nazis. seriously

 

[Oneiro]

It's worth pointing out that two of the first three goals come off basic plays in the crease, just getting it to the net and being ready for the second chance rebound.

 

[RangerDoggo]

You know the drill. Hughes/Hischier/Bratt.

My parents blame Nazis and anti-Semitism for stuff constantly, albeit very tongue-in-cheek, so I believe it.

The best part is that they call this “our cup” as if we haven’t had infinitely more success over the past 30 years. It’s truly astonishing how ignorant they are.

Mercer had a HELL of a game. Had to take him in my top 3. I went with Nico, Dawson, Hughes.

Hughes didn’t have the best game, but he showed up in the 3rd when it matters. He looks sick to me, maybe the bug got to him. Nico didn’t score but he got a few apples and made a few great defensive plays, most notably the back-check on Zibanejad.

Bratt is a close 4th. Unfortunately, I can only pick 3 but he played very well also.

The crazy thing about that goal is from that regular tv angle - sure, it looks like a nice goal. The behind the net angle replay is where you really get to see how his dangles draws both bonehead defenseman and the goalie to him because he's that shifty. Top tier stuff.

 

[Clam Jensen]

How did Jack not pick up an assist on Mercer’s goal?

 

[Azathoth]

Hughes' skating was its usual dynamic self but he was definitely fighting and bobbling the puck for much of the night, but was still able to stick the dagger in to the rags in the third. I thought Nico was their best overall player last night, he was just all over the place and making things happen. Bratt, Mercer, and Tatar also had great games too.

Blaming losses on nazis is an easy win because, as Indiana Jones taught us, everyone hates them.

I had to put Tatar in the top 3. I've been hard on him all year, but he may have played his best game as a Devil -- Tomas was everywhere. If he brought that consistency of effort, I feel he would still be a top 6 winger.

Mercer might have had the best all-around game of anyone not named "Nico". He was winning board battles and puck battles all night long. I think he beat Zibanejad -- who is a phenomenal player -- on three different occasions and created scoring chances off two of them. What a game for the kid.

The puck was poked by the Rangers dman to Graves, eliminating the touch by Jack on that play.

So the goal to Mercer is assisted by Graves only.

Same here.

Tatar played a great game and the fact that getting a shot on one of the top lines maybe sparked something that we haven't seen in about 60 games. We went on a roll in the 2nd and we even had a dissallowed goal to boot.

We jumped in the standings but beating the Rags is always welcomed.

 

[Hisch13r]

Tatar, Nico, and Bratt

 

[FinnishDevil]

Scoring 6 goals on Igor in one period (the period of the long change!!) was not on my bingo card.

Nico, Tatar, Goatsen (for not giving Rangers momentum)

 

[njdevils1982]

7-4 ... ....what a laf that was

wanted to vote but saw no option for "f*** you rangers" ..oh well

 

[guitarguyvic]

Kudos to anyone who had the cajones to drop cash on the devils winning this game when they were down 2-0 and still playing like ass several minutes into the second period. There was no indication whatsoever that they’d turn their play around that quickly or to that degree.

I don’t think I can recall another time when so many Rags fans were at the rock AND they all wind up looking like dejected children because their team got curb stomped. LOL

Ahh got it, gracias.

Hughes Daws Novak.

Couple big saves by unphased rook, Hughes just looks sooooo relaxed out there now. Novak with his best game as a Devil.

We got worked in the first period and then scored 6 against 5hit5terkin.
