Post-Game Talk: Devils beat Leafs 6-3: I LIKE WHAT YOU GOT. GOOD JOB.

[AfroThunder396]

Perhaps the best part of this start is that all the gloom and doomers, pessimists, draft revisionists, and general Mr. Sourpants types have gone away. Or at least shut up for a while.

[Emperoreddy]

So we have a Schneiderman and a Brattman.

Mahvel DC crossover

 

[BenedictGomez]

not the greatest 5v5 game but being able to win 6-3, as the road team against one of the best teams in the league is impressive

Do you work for the Toronto media or something? LOL

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I wish we could get a better look at the PK. Maybe they'll get a chance to show their stuff more in the future. All this 5 on 5 play makes it hard to really evaluate the special teams.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Your gamely TOI report:

Moore: 17:35
Greene: 20:54 with 7:31SH (!)
Santini: 19:55
Severson: 18:18
Mueller: 16:46
Butcher: 16:18 with ~5:00PP

Looking at the forwards:

Hall had only 14:15. Henrique led with 20 including 7min SH. Johansson behind him with 17:18. Bratt with 17:15 and Zacha with 17:12 in 3rd and 4th.

Quite amazing to see the Devils are doing this while keeping the forward minutes balanced. There's been no passengers on the team so far.

Greene and Santini were fantastic tonight. Literally fantastic.

 

[RNCDevil]

Congrats guys - big win for the Devils

We were not expecting this but all the credit to your team Schneider was great

We are not going to make any excuses - Devils were better tonight

Well, Schneids was sensational and the Devils were opportunistic, but it was such a helter-skelter night for passes and stick handling...I agree with Babcock "enjoy the scoring while it lasts".

 

[R8Devs]

Do you work for the Toronto media or something? LOL

they were 3-0, just beat another good team in the Blackhawks and have scored at will. they're making the playoffs easily

 

[tr83]

Cory was spectacular after the softie.

This team was resilient in the face of a bunch of BS calls and then went for the jugular at the end.

I forgot what this was like.

 

[BenedictGomez]

50 shots on goal is horrendous.

Well, the Leafs had 8 powerplays, including 3.5 minutes of 5x3.

That said, I call TOTAL BS on 50 shots on goal. The guy who counts shots for MSG must have been hired by Toronto.

 

[Blender]

Greene and Santini both had great games defensively. Bratt keeps looking like the real deal.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Nico definitely had his worst game. Not a huge deal, he's 18, it happens. Bratt was awesome. Great to see Pavel and Woody get on the board. Coleman looked like Madden incarnate. Gibbons is doing well. Cool to see Rico defend Jesper. Hall is still Hall and creating loads of offense, he's just not finishing.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

I hope Coleman's game tonight doesn't get lost in all the hype. He was excellent tonight

100%. He's like a Madden-lite. A bit quicker actually.

 

[Nocashstyle]

Hischier had his worst game by far...but still had some great moments.

Zacha looked great, Santini looked great, Bratt is Bratt.

Kids looking good.

 

[EliasFTW]

So we have a Schneiderman and a Brattman.

The Greene Lantern played a very solid game too

Keeping the time balanced is nice. Checking box scores around the league there are so many Dmen playing 25+ minutes around the league rn. Bunch of 1st line forwards playing 22+. Guys won't last for the playoffs at that rate

 

[BenedictGomez]

All six Devils defensemen finished with a + rating.

Didnt expect THAT coming into tonight!

 

[glenwo2]

This feels like a statement win. People were talking about how good the Leafs were and the Devils ran straight into the buzzsaw and came out with the win. - Saugus

Saugus, the Devils didn't just run straight into the buzzsaw....They smashed it into pieces.

Truly an amazing win.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Nico also spent the majority of his time matched up against Matthews, who is arguably the best ES player in the league. I'm not worried.

Glad to see Zacha finally break through.

 

[Darkauron]

I am on crazy people pillssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Oneiro]

Bratt. Zacha. Coleman. Wood. Gibbons (!). Nico.

Rick and Morty memes.

Toronto losing.

I’m gonna have to change my pants.

 

[Satans Hockey]

If you can afford it get yourself to the game on Friday and let's try to recreate the atmosphere from the home opener. The team is 3-0 with 16 goals scored! If that doesn't excite you then you need to check yourself to see if you still have a pulse.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

The bottom 6= four goals. They've been big. Enjoy it while it lasts. It is great to see.

Hischier has some skills. If you disregard the regular mistakes attributed to being a rookie, his talent is fairly obvious. Hischier has turned me into a fan. I will be following him closely this year.
