Wow, that Zucker goal was

Cant believe how direct, aggressive and quick we looked on that goal. Like something straight out of 2016. Matheson backing them up, Geno with the smart play to pin it and immediately turns around and goes to the net. Rust doing the hard work and Zucker coming in hot like a cruise missile. Absolutely bea-u-ti-ful.

Only thing that could make this better would be KK to cash in on the top line, and solidify his spot there.

The flow, aggression, workrate, its all reminding me of the B2B years.

They're only being compared to the extent that they're similar ages. Phil's fallen off H-A-R-D. It's entirely possible Malkin has too. I hope he proves me wrong.

I know I was just giving you a hard time.

I wasn't comparing them though. You misunderstood. See my other reply.

 

[Crosbyfan]

They must've fired Mike Bales.........

Because he Baled doubt on him?

 

[Tom Hanks]

Rust really is our best forward.

That is out of the Blue

 

[Jacob]

Dudes a maniac tonight.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Holy jazz Matheson, that lightened my load.

 

[spfan]

A lot of people were too quick to jump on Matheson...He has been excellent these last few games.

My concern with him is how much he makes.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Did Mears just say the Devils are at the bottom of the standings?

They're about to beat Boston and jump to 3rd in the division in points %. Clueless.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Matheson's now a +6 in his last 3 games.

I was one of his biggest cheerleaders so I love seeing this. I know many are writing him off and I dont want to jinx anything but I think he could def be one of those change of scenery D-men we can benefit from. One of the better ones to boot

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Math is hot dogging around Sid.........

 

[Empoleon8771]

Matheson's so good right now.

 

[KIRK]

I’m kind of seeing something with Zucker, Malkin and Rust tonight. Not sure what it is. But they actually look like a line.

Been waiting about 18 games for that last shift.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Matty Matheson is feeling it.

 

[The Sodfather]

Matheson with some Dr. Coffey type moves.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Matheson really feeling himself

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Matheson just hot-dogging out there now

 

[Beauner]

If THIS mike Matheson shows up consistently we have a f***ing player

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What a great read on that interception by Matheson.

It's Zucker shooting and not deferring. All he needs to do is copy what Rust does

 

[SomeDude]

Somewhere JR is watching Matheson, pouring a tall cold glass of skim milk, and having himself a nice smile.

 

[xlm34]

Damn if Matheson could play D he’d be a top pairing guy.

 

[SEALBound]

That...that is what we need from MM right there.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Now that they’re healthier, maybe the defense is starting to gel.

 

[dogthateats]

Put MM on pp1. Who cares about short handed goals against
