Post-Game Talk: Devils 2 - Islanders 0: Wedgeout!!!

[crashline]

The progress of others aside, the panic and confusion we've replaced on the blueline with the calm smarts of Murray, Kulikov & Smith has been so transformative so far.

 

[JK3]

The lineup changes helped for sure and the different PP. Home ice helped tremendously too with the matchups as well.

 

[NJDevs26]

really sucks about Blackwood....especially since they have a shitload of games this week

I think Comrie is probably going to have to play one of these

And then by the time poor Dell gets here Blackwood will probably be back and Wedge might swipe the backup job lol

 

[NJDevils17]

Kulikov has been surprisingly good. Gotta respect it

It's made a huge difference. And even freaking Tennyson hasn't been terribad.

 

[Darkauron]

Great game by wedge. Really need to sit kouk for boqvist.

Merkley showed the same tenacity he did during training camp too.

 

[jkrdevil]

Jack Hughes as many points so far this season as Connor McDavid in less game....

 

[DerekDevils30]

Love hearing Daneyko give Kulikov the credit he deserves

Murray, Kulikov, Smith. Night and day difference on our left side compared to prior seasons.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I don't necessarily think that means he's ill

He could be asymptomatic, but I think it's hard to argue he hasn't tested positive.

 

[ScottyK]

lol just saw this on Isles twitter.

 

[BostonDevil]

I take back my original comment. When we claim Carter Hart on waivers, he goes to Bingo and Wedgewood stays on the taxi squad.

 

[The 29th Pick]

yeah I wanna see what Comrie is all about

 

[Blender]

Jack Hughes as many points so far this season as Connor McDavid in less game....

...but can he do it against men?

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I bet PK gets one before him too (a goal that is)

He did though. Should've counted.

cocaine is a hellava drug

I think that was as good an overall game Jack has played against a really difficult team to face. Loved his effort defensively.

Sharangovich worked his butt off too. I’m still not sure if he should be in the top 6, but he certainly belongs here.

I'd like to see Shara on the 3rd line with Zacha once Bratt and Nico are back, though perhaps he stays in the top 6 if Johnsson keeps playing like crap.

 

[Sheros expletives]

Kermit speaking makes me laugh.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Extremely obvious. That's my anti jinx story and I'm sticking to it...

yes i agree then, no chance of us making the playoffs whatsoever

 

[ScottyK]

Palms needs Nico back in the worst way... Kyle is carrying and skating too much, he needs to settle in the circles and just let Nico feed him passes.

 

[njdevils1982]

sal and smith…nice

 

[Emperoreddy]

I don't think we had won a game yet last season 5 games in.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Kulikov-Severson was money. Murray and Subban has been good. Smith and Vatanen are going to be a terrific third pairing. We have an excellent goalie. Jack Hughes is showing flashes of stardom. Still haven’t played a game with Nico or Bratt.

We may not be a basement team...probably not playoffs but we aren’t a joke.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

We may not be a basement team...probably not playoffs but we aren’t a joke.

I'm gunna be that guy and say this team, when healthy, can make the playoffs. This is actually a solid team on paper tbh and as we've seen, we also actually have a coach now. However, they are very far from being legit contenders imo.

 

[ScottyK]

A LOT of help is still on the way and man that's exciting !
