Post-Game Talk: 5-4 Devils over Lightning: Farewell Sol’enya

[severian]

Thoughts:
- MoJo and Hayes were ineffective
- Severson and Greene were mixed
- Everyone else had a good game. Zacha was rippin' em and was unfortunate to not score. Nico was skating, dishing and shooting and was unlucky. Hall was flying. Rico was tough. Jesper had some slick little plays. Palms's goal was a blast. 4th line is a pain in the ass. Mueller showed he wants to stay in the lineup and Santini is turning into a rock.
- Clowe is uncomfortable in any sort of formal wear
- This team is having fun and so are we!

Severson and Greene got run over by the Lightning's top line. It wasn't pretty. I haven't seen the advanced stats but I'm expecting something atrocious.

Like with Toronto I didn't expect to win this game but we did anyway. Need to stop doubting this team.

so the hype train can continue? woooooo.

Santini is incredible. Had his best game in a Devils sweater.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Loved the Schneids interview "we got a lot of young talent coming up, maybe we can turn that into a few more national tv games"

I dont know why i found that so funny, but its true. We may have one of the most exciting teams in the league right now.

Haha good on Cory. He is right though.

 

[Blender]

We definitely need to take fewer penalties. We're one of the most penalized teams in the league.

 

[glenwo2]

This is a Troll victory, imo.

Tampa thought they were going to come in here and overwhelm us and then leave.

Glad the Devils not only were up to the challenge but they wound up winning in the end.

 

[Saugus]

Glad to see Santini emerging into a solid player. We're going to need him anchoring the top pairing sooner than we think.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Santini is incredible. Had his best game in a Devils sweater.

Absolutely. He was a pillar out there.

 

[severian]

We definitely need to take fewer penalties. We're one of the most penalized teams in the league.

And give up fewer shots.

Butcher and Santini were fantastic tonight. 9 points in 6 games for the neighborhood Butcher, gotta love the guy.

Nico is so incredibly snake-bitten and yet he still had 2 points tonight, could have had many many more. Zacha showed flashes again, consistency is key though. I love what he did at the end of the game I don't care. Dotchin pretty much punches Gibbons right in the face, don't let that shit slide.

 

[Bleedred]

Did anyone else notice the first Lightning shooter in the shootout appeared to celebrate a goal? I was really thrown off by that, and thought they scored. Even though you could hear the crowd cheer for the non-goal. It just didn't compute at first, due to what looked like a celebration.

And then they showed the slow motion replay and it looked like he put his hands up.

 

[Csonked Out]

Haha good on Cory. He is right though.

Kevin Weekes even had them replay it as he thought it was so funny. A subtle middle finger at the league for not putting us on tv this year.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Santini played a superb all-around game tonight against a prolific offense. The sophomore slump is nonexistent.

 

[Japam]

Santini is incredible. Had his best game in a Devils sweater.

Agreed. Every time he was on the ice a calmness came over me.

 

[Incharge1976]

At this rate we will pass by last year's goals scored 35 games into the season.

 

[torero]

Stafford and Hishier have been very good.
the first goal wasn't a fluke. Stafford shot while Bujad was being screened by Hischier. Budaj didn't see it well. watch it again in doubt.

This team is sexy. love it.

 

[Bleedred]

Nico now has 4 points in 6 games. Shooters have also missed a couple of his gimme's for goals. I forgot who in one of the earlier games, then Hall (I think?) tonight.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

Santini is incredible. Had his best game in a Devils sweater.

ive been down on him for a while. i dont want to agree, but i do.

 

[Blender]

9 points in 6 games for the neighborhood Butcher, gotta love the guy.

 

[Bramskii]

Ref incompetence or not, this team is still very undisciplined and it might cost us games.

 

[Csonked Out]

Other than the dumb clear up the middle by Butcher, he had a strong game. I oddly liked the Mueller-Santini pairing when I saw them together for a few shifts, they seemed quite effective on a pair.

 

[Devilswede]

Hynes has got to use Jesper Bratt in the SO in the future. The kid is a SO specialist and completely unafraid. He even won a national SO competition in Sweden a couple of years ago.

We even have Nico, a top talent with great breakaway talents.

 

[Emperoreddy]

ive been down on him for a while. i dont want to agree, but i do.

Why would you not want to agree? He is a Devil. We all should want him to succeed.

 

[glenwo2]

YA DAMN RIGHT!

 

[Edmonton East]

Good game aside from:
- Greene and Severson pairing dumpster fire
- MoJo trying his best to prove me right. Wake up you lazy floater.
