GDT: Carolina Hurricanes vs New Jersey Devils: Total Hall

[JK3]

What did he say I missed it watching USA Olympic hockey.

Has all the talent in the world, more focused and consistent now compared to what he was at the beginning of the season (paraphrasing of course). Pretty much what you said earlier.

They didn’t reveal it as they are doing a contest with it.

Ah okay. Thanks for clarifying. Well the post game was worth the severson segment. He’s a smooth interview.

 

[rrekaj13]

Really liked Hynes presser after. I think he’s sharper than most people give him credit for.

My wife has never seen the movie. When she told me that I asked if she lives under a rock

My vote for the funniest movie ever, or at least the one that aligns with my sense of humor the most.

For some weird reason it was my family's Christmas Eve movie for a long time.

Did Deb just call Hischier Nischier?

Is it any surprise anymore that she does this?

She's pretty funny haha.

Holy ****. Just goes to show how an improved transition game(Butcher/Vatanen) and players who fit the system can make a big difference.

I personally would give more credit to the forward depth than the transition game. The bottom 6 production has been phenomenal this season ..Wood, Gibbons, Boyle, Coleman...these guys are producing at rates we haven't seen from the bottom 6 in ages. Add to that two legitimate top 6 forwards in Bratt and Hischier and I'm not sure what if anything the Defensemen have added to this surge in offense.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Hall the first 60 point Devil since 2013-14 when Jagr scored 67

 

[JimEIV]

Are we good again?

Not yet. 40+ wins is my measure.

 

[zharkenby]

So I was actually there tonight, and I just gotta say....... Nico is incredible to watch in person. Saw him live during the season opener, he was all over but didn’t score. Seeing him get 1st star tonight and play an all around dominant game was infeodbke

 

[devilsblood]

I guess what I wrote comes off more critical than I meant it to be. Its just easy to forget the offensive skill he has because of the way he's had to play to establish himself in the league.

He produced at well over a point a game for three seasons in the O and would have been a big part of the gold medal winning 2013 WJC team had Hockey Canada not given him any inflated suspension that knocked him out of the tournament.

I was adding on to your point more then arguing against. Noesen is a bottom 6 guy who has been a healthy scratch a fair amount this season. But when he digs he's pretty effective, and yeah at times we see some high end skill.

I don't think he will ever earn his way into a top 6 role, but I like him as a bottom 6 guy.

Thanks.

This team is wildly inconsistent, but I’m really hoping that the flyer comback win is another turning point (in the opposite way the Buffalo offside review game was).

Coaching staff is still bush league. The power play zone entry is an embarassment.

Holy god that's depressing.

Who is responsible for it?

Is it Ward or Nasreddine?

I forget.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Holy god that's depressing.

70 point you have to go back to the finals year with Elias and Kovy.

 

[JimEIV]

We won a Stanley Cup in a full season without a 60 point scorer.

Tell that to the 2006 Hurricanes and 2016-2017 Penguins.
