GDT: Broons @ NJD, TNT, MSGSN

[glenwo2]

When they got this game to OT, I thought considering who was in Net for the Devils, this was as good as I expected (in fact, I thought it exceeded my expectations as I did not expect much).

But winning this game ultimately was certainly not in any of anyone's predictions I imagine....

...though I did say the Devils have a better shot at beating Boston at home than on the road so that came to fruition at least.



That was one of the greatest sequences I've seen Bratt do since he clowned Parayko of the Blues a season (or two?) ago.

Just absolutely left Lindholm and even the other defender in the dust, leaving a wide-as-the-grand-canyon passing lane for Jack to receive the pass and do Jack Hughes things with it.

TREMENDOUS win.

Just Tremendous.

 

[MadDevil]

Nemec has been a revelation. Amazing he looks this good at 19, he’s transformed our whole defense.

The fact that we have him and Luke for like the next decade...excuse me for a second.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Lots of winnable games coming up and chances to take direct points from the division.

They can end the year in a playoff spot with maybe a little breathing room if they take care of business.

 

[R8Devs]

Nemec with the most TOI on the team, was surprised when Lindy sent out Siegenthaler instead of Nemec in OT after Luke but Nemec came on after

 

[Cheddabombs]

Wait... does this men Bleed will have to do the next GDT???

Maybe we should've hoped for a loss instead

Only teams that can come close to match up our speed in the format is Edmonton and Colorado. Everyone else, we'd have to f*** up massively hard to lose

I think it was 4 last year and there was the Nashville one which was a massive f*** up. Then the Ranger one IIRC they won the faceoff and we never touched the puck. The Kraken one was Blackwood being bad. Then the stupid Wild game where noting goes in then Jack hits the post and they score at the buzzer at the other end

 

[NjDevsRR]

Vitek cooking in two straight games?

 

[glenwo2]

After our slow start he's been talking a lot of shit about how we're weak and lazy and can't get it done when it matters.

I bet that's what his Girlfriend says.

If we get some positive regression out of Vitek back to his career .908 we’re going to win a lot of games.

He's been getting more support and looking better as a result. The constant stream of breakaways and 2 on 1s isn't as constant recently.

Bruins fan buddy texted me: I don’t think anyone could beat NJ in OT. It’s impossible.

That’s what I told my son when there were about 2 minutes left. If NJ could get possession with Jack and Bratt it wasn’t going to be pretty for Boston.

22:13 TOI, as you said that leads the team by about 1 minute. Highest CF% for D-men with 63.13% (4th overall). Another solid game tonight. He looks so calm and poised for a 19 year old. He's also getting his points which is nice. He's generating stuff and playing responsible hockey.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Over the moon with Nemec. He really seems to compliment Siegs well too. Absolute stud muffin we’ve got.

 

[Devs3cups]

Timo led the team in shots. He had a fine game tonight I thought. A step forward for sure.

Same with Vitek. Credit where credit is due.

Seems like that 3rd period in Vancouver was a breaking point for the team. And obvious effort has been made to clean shit up since. Hope these lines they tweaked in the third will now help the offense to wake up. Timo with his best game since injury, also Jack may have been playing sick. If Akira and Vitek put up .900% then look out NHL

 

[Lou is God]

I loved Jack's reaction to his goal, it was like he was saying it's about f***ing time.

 

[Devs3cups]

Super stoked our 2 young elite D-men are perfect complements to each other. LD, RD, offense, two-way. Perfect match. We're lucky to have them for years to come.

Siegs has been desperately needing a guy that can carry all of the duties with the puck in the DZ. The less he touches the puck there the better. Nemec can do that for him.

 

[glenwo2]

Bratt deked him so bad, he caused him to turtle up like he was getting Ground-and-Pounded in a MMA fight.

Yep, sounds about right. I think we had a few chances one but Tatar made an awful play on the board I remember with Panarin on him. Nashville was just us not being ready to play OT and shellshocked from the late tying goal + apparently we can't beat Hynes (thank God we dont play Minny again this year)

At 19 and handling all that responsibility so well is insane. We have a good one for a long time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it never really was. Someone threw out some odd man rush stat and we weren't even close to be a bottom dweller if memory serves me correctly.
