Eklund picked the devils is 6 so fate is on our side !

 

[The Gongshow]

Game 1 in the books bois!!

 

[Todd1a]

End of the match.
Today EVERYONE has to be proud of the team.
We've played well despite ten minutes in the third.
Now, focus on game 2.

I was stunned we were flying in the first instead of looking lost and slow in the first

Aside from that 10 minute span we played a very good game. Hall's line was checked great even though he got a goal and an assist. If we can keep covering them we have an excellent chance to advance.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

That's a team win. Big goals from our depth and Hedmonster was impossible to go against. Felt like we could have scored a few more. Glad the Bolts took care of Game 1.

Glad to see the Playoff Guys like Johnson and Killorn show up early. A good sign for things to come.

McDonagh also played really well. It's nice to have those guys on the ice for about 50 minutes a game.

That forward depth tho

Jersey can't match it.

I think we're very good during the entire match. Maybe in the 10 minutes of the third, we've made some mistakes.
But I'm happy after this game.

 

[Matt Watson]

Nice win. A solid B. Vasy looked pretty strong. PK still a huge concern. Five shots against and constant pressure on the first and and a GA in 20 seconds on the second. Just won't cut it over the long haul.

 

[The Macho King]

What'd I miss? Just landed.

Don't tell Jersey fans that. I remember seeing them say that they had superior forward depth than us and that their bottom six will crush us

Look at all of those 10 goal scorers though!

We were awful and just barely scraped out a win.

We were awful and just barely scraped out a win.

Sounds like business as usual.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

But but....if you add up the PK and the PP it’s better than the lightning PK and PP?

 

[RDTBay4]

Locker room victory song

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Just the absolute funniest thing is the devils posters who are encouraged by this game.

 

[Bolt 45]

Not quite perfect, but more than good enough. Really, really solid game to build on.

 

[berlin]

Not a complete game so I guess that’s a good thing?

 

[FinnLightning26]

Sounds like business as usual.

You silly goose. We actually played really well. Vasy was sharp, the defense did their job for once and the usual playoff scorers came out early. Point line did an awesome job against the Hall line. They were pretty invisible aside from Palat gifting them a goal and our PK being our PK.

Gtfoh seriously?

 

[Hoek]

Only negative was the penalty kill. Stay out the box. Keep it north south and we're pretty much set against these guys.

 

[T REX]

Great start and finish. Let our foot off the gas in the 2nd but overall...great start to the playoffs. I though NJ matched our intensity for a while but our depth won out. Great win.

PS That Stamkos line was invisible.
