Zacha, Zacha, Zacha

 

[The Wumpus]

 

[Hisch13r]

That was the best 5v5 game of Zacha’s career

 

[Blender]

Pavel Zacha though

 

[NJDevs26]

So about those Bratt is MUCH better than Zacha takes...

the three guys with multi point nights and happened to figure on the ot goal together. easiest selection yet

 

[OmNomNom]

Lindys sys is great at ES but god damn our special teams

 

[Devils090]

Blackwood was very good and this garbage penalty kill just drags down his numbers

 

[Blackjack]

@JK3 with the absolute god tier GDT. Salute.

 

[BahlDeep]

Pavel Zacha is the anti-covid

 

[Alex NJD]

So Hynes 2 favorite whipping boys, Zacha and Severson. One is leading the team in points and the other has probably been our best player this year. Makes you think

 

[billingtons ghost]

Zacha is at his best when it looks like the game slows down around him. That pass to bratt was quiet confidence personified. Great stuff.

Wood deserves more votes. Lose some blood, 4 minute PP, gets the goal....

Turning point.

Uhh....

Bratt : "YOU'RE F'N WELCOME FOR THAT SWEET DROP PASS".

Do you really want to start this again, NJDevs?

How about BOTH players were terrific and leave it at that?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Hot take: Ty Smith is the most promising young player on this team

 

[Jets012]

The whole line. Bratt, Nico, Zacha are the three stars

 

[Whaddagoal]

i'm so pumped..

This team needed this win in a major way. Good way to will 2 goals in 3rd and seal the deal without drawing it out longer..

Zacha in on all 3 goals today, Bratt, Hughes looking awesome, Palms too (just needs to not hit post), Smith, etc. etc.

Bratt with his first stellar play and finish, Nico got a garbage goal to get off the 0g.........

Feeliing goood.....

 

[Dialamo]

That time where Zacha whiffed on an easy tap in goal may have turned his whole career around.

 

[Azathoth]

So glad they won but I gotta sat the pk is really sucking all the joy of watching this team at even strength. It’s like Ruff is bizarro Hynes.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

The Zacha, Nico, Bratt line was dominant tonight 5-on-5. Hopefully this is a sign of Nico rounding into shape.

That said the team isn’t going anywhere unless the PK gets fixed. You can’t win giving up 1-2 PP goals a game.

Bratt was the engine that drove that line all night, to be fair.

 

[NJDevs26]

That was the best 5v5 game of Zacha’s career

His first NHL game was pretty good lol, but he's pretty much never had an extended streak like this.

Seriously, do we have to start asking whether Zacha is finding another gear with this staff? It's funny how we acknowledge Severson, Hughes and others can make a jump because of Hynes being out of here but we've never really given Zacha that benefit of the doubt to think he would be capable of a post-Hynes jump too.

hughes looks too good to not be racking up points. they’re gonna start coming
