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

[Bleedred]

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.

BAH! Hate national broadcasts, but tonight's was pleasant. We only got Engblom because he works for the Lightning as the color commentator on their local broadcasts. I have a feeling if we played pretty much either of 25-26 other teams, we would have gotten Pierre! Definitely glad we didn't have to hear him.

I said it after his first year at BC, Santini will be the next Devils's Captain.

Not on the scoresheet but Bratt had a good game and was huge on the final PK to force OT

 

[britdevil]

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.

I'm certain Hynes asked him on the bench if he'd be ready to go if needed. Bratt enthusiastically said yes.

We'll see him take one soon I think.

Stafford and Hall both have below average lifetime SO records. Dont understand why he used them, unless he thought it was too much pressure to put rookies out in their first ever SO experience.

Santini and Butcher had very good games. Santini lead all defensemen in ice time with 25:40 tonight, next closest was Greene with 21:50.

Santini was an impact player. Expect to see that more and more going forward.

 

[Goptor]

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.

Every team is getting run over by that line. They've been the best line in the league so far.

Agreed. That line came pretty close to scoring a number of times as well.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

I thought tonight was Nico's best game of his young career. Too bad he couldn't bury one of his few great chances. He'll break through soon.

A solid character win. I love watching this team, hopefully they keep it going.

we cant expect that pace to keep up. but thats all it is.... play smart and he does. its early but we really have a couple gems on our hands.

- MoJo trying his best to prove me right. Wake up you lazy floater.

MoJo's play, or lackthereof it, is really starting to concern me.

 

[JRZ DVLS]

Gutsy win!!
Will say that severson looked pretty bad... the first he had thre awful turnovers...

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.

Maybe it was just be but i swear i saw the Ref make the "shucks" arm movement on the bolts first attempt

Definitely true. Kucherov and Stamkos are 1 and 2 in scoring right now.

 

[JimEIV]

Hynes was talking to Bratt before the shootout and I thought for sure he was in? Maybe he was saying next time?

 

[glenwo2]

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

God forbid we are HAPPY about the team's effort and big victory....

hes due. lets just go with that.

Might have been up next after Palmieri if it went extra rounds.

 

[liquid1988]

Cant wait for the Kinkaid post game breakdown

 

[Csonked Out]

Definitely true. Kucherov and Stamkos are 1 and 2 in scoring right now.

The problem they were having is that they were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. They were chasing the puck and trying to get to where the puck was as opposed to where it was going. It's like they just threw the defensive structure out the window.

I will chalk it up to a dominate line getting them off their game and move on.

I said it after his first year at BC, Santini will be the next Devils's Captain.

Not before Palmieri or Hall or even Zajac (If Travis wanted it)

 

[mdj12784]

Biggest win in this short season thus far?

 

[RNCDevil]

Hynes was talking to Bratt before the shootout and I thought for sure he was in? Maybe he was saying next time?

I was reading his lips. "How's your wrist? Ok? You're up if we get to the 14th round. Oh, also, did that sound impressive? Too short?"
