Post-Game Talk: 5-4 Devils over Ottawa: Gimmie Moore Money

[mtnet]

I'm glad IK found no deal here this season, less we need to hear anyone talk about him the better

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I'm stoked for Hall. He's finally playing on a winning team, with some high-end talent to work with. It has to be extra motivating for him, as this is really his first taste. I expect him to feed off it and to keep flying.

Just thought I'd bold and enlarge the only part of that sentence that matters to Kovy.

You are correct sir haha.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

Seems like the PK always looks great but then one mistake ends up in the net. Not too worried yet.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

We're the second highest scoring team in the league, and we beat the team that's ahead of us.

I thought we were going to be better than even some people here were expecting, but this is bat**** crazy. Sustainable or not, this is freakin sick.

 

[AfroThunder396]

This isn't going to last forever so I'm going to savor every second of it.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I adore this team.

I'm glad you got to see a win last night. And Nico's first goal.

How were your seats?

Hall was the play driver last night.
If he can cut down on unforced giveaways on the PP he can have a monster season.

he has a smaller sample size than cory, but can you convince me cory is currently a better goalie than kinky using facts? i mean, i think cory is the better goalie, but i certainly couldn't prove that with recent stats.

Agreed.

Your post reminds me of the post that got me a lifetime ban (really, this actually happened) from the NY Rangers forum.

I forget what year it was, but I was statistically showing that there was absolutely no drop-off in play in the 15 or 20 games Biron played in net, and that he was statistically playing just as good or better than Lundqvist. Of course, Lunqvist being a more important historical figure than Jesus of Nazareth over there, even though I was 100% factually accurate, it wasn't received well.


EDIT: Found it. It was 2010.

Anyone mention PZ hit iron twice.

The kid's game is growing.

A few inches on a few shots and we are talking about how he leads the team in goals by a bunch.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

This is my favorite thing of all time hahahha

 

[Camille the Eel]

Gibbons played a great game. No matter when Zajak and Boyle return, this kid has to stick with the team.

In general this year, I love the Devils' first shift after a goal is scored against them. They've consistently seized the momentum back, every time. Continue that pattern.

Finally we looked good on the forecheck last night. Not just off the rush. Showed we can create a good cycle. All lines but particularly Palmieri, Johanson and Henrique, yeah.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Did a Senzzz fan in the front row flip Moore the bird after the OT tally?

I thought that was trademarked and exclusive to Rags fans.

whats the deal with bratt is he staying up or being sent down? just doesn't seem to be a factor in the game much.

 

[The Wumpus]

Even when we were down by 2, it felt like we could absolutely come back. What a difference from recent years.

You gotta watch the games pal. Watch our PK with him, watch the way he skates with the puck. Sure he's been off the boxscore for a couple, but he is NOT a non-factor for our success.

How were your seats?

I was sitting in the lower bowl center Ice. I didn't like the configuration of the seats, they are too low. As soon as you have to look on the right or left, you can't see the near boards because of the people sitting.

You must not be watching the games. He hasn't gotten points since his initial flurry, but he looks just as dynamic with the puck as he has. A very solid contributor on the PK, as well.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Dare I say that 7 games into his NHL career Bratt is already an elite PKer in the league.

well, you got to see a Devils win.

 

[Blackjack]

The issue with Bratt is that I think he's actually a clear top 6 player that should be playing with other scoring line players, and right now, there just isn't a spot for him in the top 2 lines or on the power play.

It's good that he plays with Zacha, and I think they can be a really good line with Gibbons, but when you're down 2 goals, you're going to give most of your ice time to Hall-Hischier-Stafford and Johansson-Henrique-Palmieri. It's not Bratt, it's just that those two lines are so good right now that you really have to ride them when you're trying to come back.

Hopefully we can build a lead against the Sharks and let's see if Bratt get some more ice time.

Yes. First time I've felt that in roughly a decade.
