Thinking on the end of the game, that play by Bratt with a few minutes left where he drove to the net and then cut back 180 degrees away from the net and literally faked the guy covering him right off his feet must be mentioned.
I mean the defensive player literally went flying on his ass. You never see that. It was maybe the most dramatic “faked the guy out of his jock” I’ve ever seen. Highlight reel stuff.
Only sorry he didn’t finish with a goal when he turned back towards the net. Slavin knocked his pass away when he was trying to set up Nico for the tap in.
He should have shot the puck there. He had got free for a brief moment for a great look at the net. The goalie was deep in the crease and he had net to shoot at and Slavin, if anything, was in the goalies way. Bratt and Nico outnumbered Slavin 2 on 1, should there have been a rebound.
I wish there was some way the Devils could drill Bratt’s pass first mentality out of him. Especially now, with Hughes and all the others out, we need him to be shooting the puck first.
