GDT: Devils @ Blackhawks - 7 P.M. - MSGSN

[Hisch13r]

Vanecek or Schmid Tuesday in Colorado?

I probably would've went back to Schmid tonight after how good he was last game and playing a weaker opponent.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Loved Willmans game. That set of wheels will make you stick as a depth guy when needed

 

[Whaddagoal]

Willman is a gamer. We should keep a close look and watch on him. He looked good 5v5 too..

Edit. Didn't realize he is already 28...!

 

[devilsblood]

i feel like McLeod has gotten better the last few years while Bastian has stagnated or sometimes looked even worse..

i cant wait to get Nosek in there and ive liked Lazar thus far! when were healthy Willman should be our first man in i think

Bastian is doing his thing I think

McLeod has definitely stepped up his game. Started in last year’s playoffs.

 

[njdevils1982]

who is this parry guy.....and better question, who dressed him?

halloween was last week

He definitely found his gear in that series. Took awhile for us fans to get, but this is a guy we need now.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

We out attempted them 19-7 with Palat out there. He has to start finding the net but he is not hurting us out there.

 

[Hisch13r]

Tradition continues. Smith-Luke in 11:54 posted a 0.27-0.82 xG. Luke in 1:16 without Smith posts 0.15-0.03 xG

Yeah the Palat slander is a bit over the top. He has been very solid and I’m sure the point production will come soon. I get people’s criticism but he’s helping out there

 

[youryeah]

how many teams in this league can they beat with the type of game they played tonight? not saying they were bad tonight. just curious what others think. cause they'll probably have to do it for a bit longer

 

[Whaddagoal]

Lazar has 5 shots. Holy...

Idk what you're saying. They were great tonight. Rocky first but 2nd and 3rd they breezed through and just dominated (still can't really f***ing finish). They won't be able to do this against better teams as easily but the type of game they played isn't the issue.

His on ice for the season are excellent.

I’m not sweating the lack of production.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Gotta say, our role players are excellent in bringing what they need to out on the ice. Lazar, Tierney, Willman. They know what they need to do, and have a ton of heart. Bastian of course, too.

I did not expect Lazar to grow on me the way he has.

 

[Hisch13r]

Lazar has 5 shots. Holy...

He had 8 shots in 9 games before this lol

 

[guitarguyvic]

WTF was Timo doing on that second GA?

I don't think he's hit his stride yet with us since the trade...but...I'm not sure he's the "gamebreaker" people thought we were getting. He seems more like a very high end grinder...kind of like a Zach Parise but with a bit less skill and defense and definitely less enthusiasm lol. He was basically a point-per-game guy in SJ while being "the man" right? Having to share a puck with the likes of Hughes and Bratt and surrounded by plenty of other guys are talented...him getting ~70 points seems about right to me. He's well on his way to that.

 

[glenwo2]

Bratt with winning plays on that last minute or so

love it

The Bratt Pre-Contract wouldn't have done that.

 

[Devilsfan992]

So happy for Mercer.

yeah I worded that pretty terribly I guess my question was: will they be able to do this to the better teams in the league and not a team like chicago

 

[Bleedred]

Vanecek or Schmid Tuesday in Colorado?

Ride the hibachi, he had a great game

I was all for letting Schmid start tonight after his last game, but I think you gotta go back to Vitek after this.

 

[glenwo2]

Thought it was a back to back

Next game is on Tuesday against the Avs

Meier had 5 shots on goal, a 67% CF%, and a 60% xG% tonight.

yes that play on the 2nd goal wasnt the best, but he was a beast otherwise

 

[guitarguyvic]

And by the way....Mercer looking way better...just happened to be on a line with Timo. Been calling for this for weeks now.

Full line-up I would keep the forward pairings Jack-Toffoli, Nico-Bratt, Timo-Mercer. Fill in whoever on the other wing for each line.

I didn't need a recap of his whole game, it was a rhetorical question about a bonehead play he made.

20+ 5v5 shots/60 the last 2 games after barely being over 6 with Jack and over 11 last season. Obviously this 20 isn't going to hold but they need to be separate. This isn't hard to figure out.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Timo really might be better off away from Jack or Nico and able to be the puck dominant guy.
