That pass last night from Nico was magnificent. It’s one of my favorite assists from this season

I imagine everytime Bucci is calling plays that someone is taking an audio dial and cranking it up to 10 when he nears the end of a sentence. Surely a proffesional broadcaster wouldn’t yell every other SENTENCE!

Wasn’t able to watch, just listened to Matt and Chico. How did Timo look after the break, did he do anything? Didn’t hear his name at all other than the goalie interference play.

He had an assist and gave Haula a warm embrace from the bench after his ENG.

I thought he played a pretty solid game. I liked what I saw out of him, Haula and Mercer since they got thrown together at the last minute with Toffoli being sick.
He created a couple of plays down low that could have been chances. Had a couple looks in tight from scrambles around the net.
Am I the only person still upset that A: the refs called that stupid 4 on 4, which is exactly what the Avs were looking for and B: that the whole Avs flurry there started with a blatant offside?

If I have any criticism of him overall, it's his lack of engagement physically that we saw last year. But I have to imagine his injuries are still playing a factor there.
I have a feeling that will come the closer we get to the end of the season and hopefully the postseason .
The second it was announced as being 4 on 4, I was bracing for trouble. This is not the team I want to give more available space on the ice.

I felt like MacKinnon was out there the whole time. And sure enough:
MacKinnon 24:33
Rantanen 23:59
Makar 27:17

His skating was fantastic. Had a 22mph rush
He is looking much healthier. Hope he gets into a groove now.

Injuries maybe hampering his performance but this seems to have been going on for a long time. He started the season playing just as poorly as he is now.
I kind of feel like we paid for a super duty hauling truck and are getting Toyota Corolla performance.

I liked Toff being out of the lineup to be honest. The top 6 looked much faster.
Yeah but we can still have that speed with him in the lineup. I'm assuming he and Jack will both return Thursday and play together.

He drags the speed way down and it's noticable. Last night wasn't great, but it was a bit closer to the way they have to play to be successful. At least imo.
I get that and he is slow but he was also leading the team in goals and struggling without Jack. I think it's going to be tough to find the right line combos when everyone is healthy. Not a lot of guys gel too well together.

Man… that Marino goal had a special feeling. All the boys jumping on the bench, the guys on the ice celebrating hard.
I dunno, I feel like they can build off of this, especially with reinforcements coming soon.

Will be telling to see how they follow-up against the Flames. Don't take foot off the gas due to the opponent. Flames just beat up Boston on their home ice.

A game they cab deff build off of. 4 even strength goals , a good game for Vitek , penwlty kill going 3 for 3 and the team was great in the face off dot as well even without McLeod.
The bad would be giving up the 1st goal , the powerplay going 0 for 3 staying ice cold , the big stretch of the 3rd period in which they got outplayed. Outshot 17 to 4 in the 3rd period is not good but they found a way to win to pull a big win. Vitek robbing MacKinnon kept them in it because the Avs had all the momentum going for them at that time of the game late in the 3rd.
Basically the Devils had a pretty good 1st period , a great 2nd and a poor 3rd but what matters is they found a way to win it and the goaltending didn't sink them.

He looks like he is worth keeping around. I'm not sure if Smith will be brought back. I like what I see from Milller. He's a good 3rd pairing guy who can pinch into the top 4 when needed.
Hamilton , Siegenthaler , Hughes , Nemec , Marino & Bahl are all pretty much locks next year. Miller might not want to play as a 7th D and not have guaranteed minutes so keeping him might not be too easy.

Timo,Haula and Mercer line was the best line on the devils last night
Hard to go through the motions when you were apart of the best line

Junktime season...
To the in arena eye test, Timo looked good to very good in moments.
He was involved, drove some plays, got some pucks to the net, assist on the mercer goal. Hard nosed play to net. He had jump.
Yes, I don't get the Timo looked like going through the motions last night thought. At least not in this game.
Timo was fine except for that awful bobble on a one-timer that ended up in the Devils net 25-30 seconds later. Can't do that stuff. He got lucky that the goal was called back but it's absolutely a spot where you just can't flub the puck, have to get a shot away and hopefully one on net.
