(mods, please don't merge this thread with the game thread. This is a postgame one. :( )


Tremendous victory to open the season...

Bratt was terrific and he played more like a 1st rounder than the 6th rounder acquired as an afterthought in '16.

Awesome to see his Parents in the crowd watching their son get his first goal and be the 2nd star of the game. I would be thrilled if I were in their shoes, too. :)


Butcher.....what else can you say about him? 3 points in devils debut(First in FRANCHISE HISTORY). Playing like he's been playing in the NHL for years. Hope to see more of this going forward. Well-Deserved 1st star of the game.

Cory was Cory....and I mean the GOOD Cory. We're going to need him to continue to be this version this year if we have any aspirations at making a playoff push.

Hall was good at some points, not so much in others but he'll get better as the season goes on.


Santini impressed the hell out of me tonight. Made some key defensive plays at one point that kept the Avs from getting quality shots at Cory.


Hayes with a goal.....perfect example of crashing the net and not drifting away from it. I welcome more from him.


Overall, I am happy.

But the question for all Devils fans here is :

ARE *YOU* HAPPY? :naughty:

How about the PK shutting the door after starting out 0 for 1? I don't remember where they finished on the PK last year, but it was a big reason why the second half of the season played out the way it did.

Hischier didn't have any points but he was spectacular. Most stand out forward from either team.

reading some old mainboard posts about Butcher, some spicy takes in there

Butcher can you prove them wrong in your first game?

Bratt and Butcher had two of the best Devils rookie games I can remember. They were impressive.

Bratt moreso. Butcher's got a lot more holes in his game, he's a potential Zidlicky, but Bratt looks like a complete forward.

Our future certainly looks a lot brighter all of a sudden when our 1st overall pick who had a solid game was only the 3rd best rookie in this game.:)

I am so glad I was able to watch today's game. Off to Maine tomorrow for 10 days so I will miss a few.

Did anyone hear what Claude Lemieux is doing now? Thanks
