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

[Bcap88]

Was skeptical about the ruff hire but so far it has been good

 

[Patrik26]

Filed away for future use.

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.

The last 4 minutes or so for sure. Great to see solid contributions on both sides of the possession game.

 

[Better Call Sal]

You can tell Jack and Ty really get along. Establish that core early boys, we hope you’re a big part of it for a long time!

 

[Cheddabombs]

Furthermore, i consider that Koukkanen must be destroyed. He sucks.

I thought he had a good game on that line, was much more involved than he was before

 

[Bcap88]

Mac has covid confirmed

 

[Devils Army]

People didn't like Kuokannen's game tonight? Thought he was good

 

[Emperoreddy]

I could see Nico come in cold as far as scoring goes, but I expect him to be solid defensively out the gate and provide a big boost to the PK.

His presence alone will also lead to Jack seeing better matchups

I thought he was fine. Johnsson was bad again.

 

[BurntToast]

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

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

Umm no, need to sit Johnson for Boqvist..

Mac has covid confirmed

Is that actually confirmation? Maybe he was just using “getting COVID” to refer to the COVID list situation.

Until we know what his injury might be we can’t say what he will be like upon his return. I’m concerned he will be antsy to return given his long layoff and struggle initially because he doesn’t let himself heal completely. This is one of those instances when I’d err on the side of keeping him out until he shows he is 100% in practice as opposed to 75% with a doctor saying “it won’t get any worse if he plays”.

I guess it could, but I am finding it hard to believe he didn't test positive at this point.

The safest assumption most likely is that he has it and you just hope he has mild or no symptoms

Johnsson was putrid. Couldn’t connect a pass.

He could have very well just said to a guy being quarantined as opposed to getting covid. I took it as confirmation

 

[Tretyak 20]

Just dropped in to say eff everyone bad mouthing Pavs and Goose earlier.

 

[beekay414]

Andreas Johnsson just isn't an NHLer at this point. We have numerous forwards that are playing better. Get Boqvist back up here and scratch AJ.

They were doing contact tracing on guys who were around him. He clearly tested positive

Looks like Dell may be Kevin Weekesed out of a backup job with Wedge playing the Clemmensen role

I’m not that sold on Wedge that I wouldn’t want to see Dell first. Lots of goalies go south after a few starts.

 

[NJDevs26]

0-6 before our current GM had to go behind the bench and baby sit the former coach.

Talk about a guy who's had to eNJoy the ride...GM assistant to assistant coach to interim GM to full-time GM.

Wedge will get a few more games this week so he will have plenty of time to play himself to the taxi squad still.

 

[NJDevs26]

By the same token I'm not that sold on Dell either, he's even older than Wedgewood and has had two meh years in a row, bouncing to three teams this year. I do feel bad for him that he's getting screwed out of this opportunity but timing is everything I guess.

Dell doesn’t have to get screwed out of the opportunity unless the team is into keeping Comrie more then Dell.

 

[NJDevs26]

Dell doesn’t have to get screwed out of the opportunity unless the team is into keeping Comrie more then Dell.

How many goalies are they going to keep? By the time Dell finally gets here Blackwood'll almost certainly be back so then it comes down to one guy for the backup spot. They aren't cutting Wedge if he has a few more plus games.

 

[My3Sons]

Wedge and Dell can hopefully tread water until MBW returns. If they can maintain a .500 pace that’s probably enough once MBW gets his form back. Of Wedge can play well once he can do it again.
