if anyone is wondering about the Boone faceoff. he has the right to stay in if he jumped early again instead of getting kicked out its a penalty

They are the real deal. it is scary what Luke could become with a bit more experience. He led the Devils D in ice time today. Jack is so special to watch and when Hischier is cranking it is scary.
I agree. For example, another PP he got for us was when he stayed in our defensive zone.
And a few more shifts like that. If without jokes I don't like he had head injury again after concussion.---
Great game, great PK. But why did we slow down again in the third period? The team knows that the game doesn't have just two?

I’m hoping Fantilli gets into same superstar tier as Hughes, he just makes the game look easy.

I can certainly see some similarities with what Fantilli has been able to do in his brief NHL experience.
I dont think I've seen anything that suggest he could do the McDavid/Hughes type extended puck posession domination. Those two might be the only two capable of it right now anyways
I don't know who'd be the best comparable for Fantilli. Draisaitl maybe? At times I've thought of prime Benn but I don't even know why since I didnt even watch him much.

Eichel is a pretty good comparison in my opinion.

This is the first time I’ve had the chance to watch the entire game and I can see the two true talented players on the roster is Fantilli and Johnny. Elvis was elite today he kept everything in front of him, nice and square and very calm in the crease. Great game today.

Best 60 the Jackets have played this season. Not perfect but much improved.

Happy for the Blue Jackets. Happy for Merzļikins. Yeah, just happy with this result. Onwards and upwards.
So probably by Vincent's logic either Robinson or Danforth will be healthy scratch tomorrow if Texier is returning
Seriously though, why not sit Sillinger and have a bottom-6 of
Chinakhov-Danforth-Olivier
Robinson-Kuraly-Texier

Danforth looked real good today as well. Was constantly breaking up plays and making things happen

Do you think he generally tends to scratch the wrong guys? I think he often gets it right. It will probably be someone from the Chinakhov-Sillinger-Olivier trio that sits. Any of them would be fine with me.
I just find it amazing that Sillinger hasn't been scratched.
The kid has had some good games lately but he seems to have trouble keeping his energy up. It's the exact sort of player that would be better off sitting some games and not playing the full 82.

"that chick from Ohio"
So I'd had to pause the game early due to another cramps episode from that which put me in the ER for last game, and so I honest to G-d found out that we'd won this one because before I got the chance to resume watching I got a New Thread Notification in TR&FA of an obvious Devils panic thread.
No, really. I am 100% not making this up.

Way to go Jackets! They entered the third period with a one goal lead and actually held on. This is a much bigger step than putting 7 on a tanking Chicago team.
