Wouldn't take them lightly as Schneider can steal a game and they have some skill upfront to pot a few goals.

agreed but if we can chase hank we should be ok with schneider. our speed was on display last night. i can see the devils having issues with us as well. i see a 5-2 game in our favour.

Don't want this to be one of those midweek trap game stinkers we know all too well. Want to be 4-0 going into Montreal.

Schennanigans · Oct 10, 2017

It would be typical to lose this one. I'm not going to look ahead of this game. Hope for a win and we should but the devils don't look bad.

1specter · Oct 10, 2017

People are underestimating the Devils. Hynes is a pretty solid coach, and they've got some hungry youth now of their own. Schneider as well, up until last season, had never posted a season below .920. The Leafs should be the favourite no doubt but this is hockey and no win is ever guaranteed.

Idk man. Forsberg had the game of his life and we still put up 4. We generate ridiculous chances

It really is ridiculous how good we are at creating not only scoring chances, but high danger chances. After two periods I think i saw the HD chances were 18-4 or something.

It's early but we are first in the league in xgf. Wouldn't be shocked if we're the best offensive team in the league as soon as this season

The win is all that needs to be said. Nothing is guaranteed in this league. Let's hope they show up an play hard.

I wouldn't either. Fix the penalty differential, stop giving up so many chances, and we could see a top-5 team.

this has trap game written all over it.

Sportsnet, their national Wednesday Night game.

i remember when sportsnet had moslon leafs hockey on thursdays and the leafs would always lose to the islanders at home those nights

I'm thinking this one will be a stinker. Devils games are always boring af

Possibly, I don't think they'll take it lightly though and they shouldn't.

I watched NJ vs. Colorado + the highlights vs. Buf; they're quick and talented. Not a heck of a lot different as a team to what we were around this time last year.

Welsh Maple Leaf · Oct 10, 2017

Who are the key players for the devils guys?

FlareKnight · Oct 10, 2017

Can't take NJ lightly with how well they've started the year. But this is the kind of matchup we can do some damage in. It isn't the Devils of old. They are more scoring skill. Which is something we can go up against. If it's a game about scoring we've got the ability to win that.

Hope for the best and let's see what the team does.

Not this time. I have watched them a bit and they have skill and speed now

Who are the key players for the devils guys?

Pavel Zacha: Strong and skilled
Nico Hischier: Ridiculous skill and not afraid of physical play
Bratt: Good forechecker
Taylor Hall: fast and good
Severson: Good young defender
Schneider: good goalie

For the most part their forwards are decent with some high level skilled players in there. Their defense is going to be their weak point

Hall-Zacha-Bratt line

Mojo-Hischier duo

Butcher on the PP

Amadeus · Oct 10, 2017

Gone are the days of NJ being a trap team. This is a pretty offensive team which we can't take lightly.

wingman75 · Oct 10, 2017

Good chance this is a low scoring (or lower scoring) game as teams settle into their systems.

Teams are going to learn that they cannot run and gun with this version of the Leafs!

QUESTION - since the site upgrade, do the pages hang for anyone else? Performance is total crap for me (Chrome on Windows 10)

Hischier was number 1 draft pick this year right?

These aren't your grandfather's Devils. The trap days are gone. They have good team speed and more pure skill. They handled Buffalo easily. I know it's early but NJ seems to have a nice little (under the radar) build going. They might actually leap frog some teams that have been building for awhile.

Seems like many people think they are the boring old Devils. Couldn't sell these tickets on Stubhub even at a very reduced rate.

yes he's only 18 but he's already one of their better players. I think he'll be somewhere in the top 3 for Calder voting this year

yep but I'm on Windows 7 Professional. Right now my ad block is showing 4 and the performance is good. When it hangs that number is 176 I believe which is crazy.

You forgot Kyle Palmieri who was basically the Josh Leivo of the Ducks and has flourished with the Devils.

They also have MoJo now who is quite good.
