The shot by Merkley was eye-opening. He's always reminding me of the Tasmanain Devil on offense-- aggressive and reckless. And that cost us earlier, but it's good to have at least one guy out there with that mindset.

Yeah, I'm loving the depth.
Feels like forever since this team could get goals from all four lines.

Hell Toupée!!!
the kakko and lafreniere line had a few solids shifts mid game and then disappeared again,
for guys that are supposed to put up points their seasons have been blegh so far….
…..not saying theyre busts by any means……some guys just need more time….but im not complaining right now

It’s so refreshing to see the kids gaining confidence as the season goes on.
At first , I did not like the Ruff hiring, but I have done a complete 180 on that .
He is showing the kids he has confidence in them and using them in important situations in games . I think this is HUGE in the development of the kids.
I am very impressed with the job Ruff has done. He is exactly what I was hoping for in a coach. Ruff obviously was on the same page as Fitz and company on how to rebuild the right way.
No point in having a coach who is coaching to keep his job and trying to squeeze out wins by ruling with an iron fist and benching kids whenever they made a mistake. The kids are getting experience and having fun playing and learning the game without fear of getting benched or scratched if they make a mistake.
Exciting to see the future is looking bright and the team is moving in the right direction .
With Holtz , Mercer , Foote , Boqvist , Bahl , Shakir coming along , it is fun to be a fan of this team and what’s to come.

I think between McLeod, Bastian, Merks, Subban, and Wood, you have a tidy set of nut jobs that I enjoy watching.

LINDY RUFF NEEDS VIAGRA!!
Agreed.
I mean...Bratt had his moments but overall, it was pretty much a "dud" of a night for the Top 6.
Kudos to the 3rd and 4th line where someone ( @dk3790 ) said this :
wow those forward lines are hideous.
And those same hideous lines just made the Rags look MORE hideous.

The Good:
Kuokkanen
Blackwood
Zacha
Severson
Maltsev
McLeod
Team discipline - 0 minors
The Bad:
Palmieri
Tennyson
Carrick
PP zone entries
The Ugly:
Having 5 RHD in the lineup
As much as I dislike you I can never hate you after rearranging DeAngelo's face:
Kreider
I actually think Severson had a really fantastic game, one of the better D performances of the season.

It’s nice that most of the guys that are filling in at the bottom of the roster look like actual NHL players and aren’t Ruutus or Tootoos

My favorite post of the night.
Subban deserves more love in this poll. He had a good game, and I think 2 assists.
Actually, if your being fair it's now Jack 1, Kaapo 1 in terms of their head-to-heads this year. Kaako had the better game but New Jersey was better as a team.
McLeod and Zacha solidifying their roles in this team is huge. Bonus is they will be cheap to retain.
The 29th Pick
Still Alive !
when he keeps it simple he's "good", like tonight

I've been riding him all season, but I thought about half way thru the game that I hadn't really noticed him ( in a good Murray way) and then he had some nice individual efforts late game. He was great.
I really have no idea what the lineup is going to look like when everyone is back....
Johnsson-Hughes-Bratt
Sharangovich-Hischier-Palmieri
Zacha-Zajac-Gusev
Wood-McLeod-Bastian
Murray-Severson
Kulikov-Subban
Smith-Vatanen
Blackwood
Dell
I HAVE NO IDEA
That leaves Kuokkanen and Maltsev out of the lineup and they have looked good.

Quick venture over to the other board and there’s a good amount of “How do you lose to the Devils?” chatter. Good, good. This team will do nothing but surprise the league this season.
