GDT: Rush GDT: New Jersey Yukons vs. Colorado Bumbles

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

1-0 in the Sami Vatanen era. He looked pretty good for his first game here.

Led the team in ice time. Does he automatically become our #1D?

Nah

 

[StvBroDan]

LOL Some people are never happy win or lose.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

We’ll take it. Shot count down, gave up one goal. Glad to see Boyle get the winner.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Thought our third period was very solid, as has been the case for pretty much all season. That’s an excellent sign moving forward.

1-0 in the Sami Vatanen era. He looked pretty good for his first game here.

With him and Severson on the top 2 pairs, we've got guys who can seamlessly break the puck out of the zone. Butcher also does a good job on pair 3.

Severson was fantastic tonight. I still can't get over the pass he made to Hischier to exit the zone late.

 

[Bleedred]

Glad we won, but I am done with Hynes and his bull**** and how he is dealing with Zacha.

Zacha really needs to be playing a little more now, with the trade yesterday.

And I love Zajac, but his lack of production has been pretty troubling to start this season. I'd wait until the 10 game mark before coming to a better conclusion though.

4th line was very good. Give them credit tonight. Liked what I'm seeing from Moore/Butcher/Severson still. Severson really looks like he's becoming a top pairing guy and Butcher was just a fantastic find for us. Ready to take the training breaks off of him.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Severson was very good tonight. Made a lot of solid defensive plays. Just keep him off the trigger on the PP now that Sami is here.

 

[JK3]

Vatanen enhanced.

How about Vatanen?

Just what the doctor ordered.

I love Severson. Think he's a really solid offensive D-Man on the 5 on 5. Not a game breaker but he's good. But I agree. With Vatanen and Butcher you have two top 25 D-Man on the PP in the whole league. No need to have Severson there besides the occasional shift.

 

[Bleedred]

I can't believe that I missed that trivia question, I would have probably gotten that one.

 

[haak84]

better team won. thought the devils controlled the play and vat was way more noticeable than henrique. hall looked rusty. bratt and nico continue to impress.
15 wins in 25 games. a 6th round pick playing as first line material. great time to bea devils fan.

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

The thing I liked most about Vatanen tonight was how on the money his passes were. Such a huge asset to have going forward

 

[Devil X]

Boyle out there to hold a lead is so foolish, especially against a fast team like the Avs.

Boyle was out there to win a faceoff in the last minute of a game. There is NOTHING wrong with that since we dont have much other then Zajac that can seem to win faceoffs. Tonight we did ok in the dot but im not sending out Nico to win that against the Aves be faceoff guy.

Ive decided that no matter who our couch is we will never agree with their player deploy in certain situations. But honestly 99 times out of 100 ill choose the guy that is an NHL head coach over everyone of us including myself.

Nothing flashy tonight for sure, but he was very sound defensively. Made some good plays.

This is literally why Boyle is here. To win faceoffs in those situations, which he did effectively.

Who was it?

 

[Bleedred]

Remember when we used to play Tallinder and Fayne on the PP? Or Peter Harrold? Then you had Adam Oates coaching it and it was a real disaster.

But he made that bad play that one time so he stinks.

 

[JK3]

No small feat, Avs are tough on home ice, 8-2 before tonight I believe.

And we had not won here since 2008
