Just popping in to ask how's our boy Shak doing as a Devils fan lol

 

[Jargon]

I… have been thinking the same thing.

Hahah yes just saw your meme. It’s fun to watch him Eklund-slither his way through half the opposing team.

Oh absolutely. But I was referring to my first post in this thread, which was doubting Eklund at center.

 

[Jargon]

It's also the Kraken, we're still ass but they're not too good either. That being said, him as a potential Top6 C/LW is freaking awesome

Totally, but there’s just a confidence to him when he has the puck a lot, I think it actually really works with his game.

 

[The Nemesis]

He’s looked really good as a center, just saaaaying..

Fans: "What's this? Eklund shouldn't be playing C. He should just focus on being a good top line winger."

Eklund:

Much better tonight than his first game. Has 21+ minutes and is our defending the 6v5 up a goal at the end of the game. Really like his body positioning and he’s surprisingly physical for a young guy. Definitely has things to improve on, but he’s a player.

Rutta wow

Where’s the Rutta gif?

The lesson is obviously to never ever doubt Eklund…

 

[Bizz]

Imagine being shut out by the 2023-24 San Jose Sharks.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Kunin’s “fight” being credited for this win is just incredible.

Lost in the MEB hype is that Rutta has 3 goals in his last 5 games and is on just as much of a streak.

Offensive Machine Jan Rutta!

Glad to hear, most Devils fans were pretty upset he was in the package, but understood it with the caliber of player Timo is (even though he's had the season of hell this year with injuries/bad play lol)because we saw Shak's development in the KHL from where he was in his D0 v his D+1. Hope he becomes a bonafide stud for you guys, he has a lot of fans in NJ rooting for him
