Whatever. 86, 63, 11 line was awesome

Refs again. Second goal on a missed trip.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Thought Hughes looked good out there for the most part.

He does however have an issue where if the Devils are losing he starts to try to do too much and thats where he gets himself into trouble.

I'm ok with him learning now what he can and can't do.

I'm not sure how this team manages to look good and bad at the same time.

I wonder if we think they look good only because of how bad they played under Hynes. We're still recovering from the disaster.

Also, special teams still need a ton of work.

I think they manage to look good and bad at the same time because they have a lot of high character, hard working players, but an extreme lack of high end talent. In this league, talent pretty much always wins the day over effort.

open your eyes dano!

"losing an edge"

Ty Smith probably had his best game ever. Possibly related, he was playing with an NHL caliber partner.

 

[Nicomo Cosca]

Hughes is a stud. He creates more offense than the rest of the team combined.

Bratt looked good for his first game in 10 months, and literally no time in Ruff’s system.

Severson has a great shot. Wish he would use it more.

Everyone else sucked.

"losing an edge"

He doesn't want to sound like a homer

 

[JK3]

Refs again. Second goal on a missed trip.

That killed them Jack got taken out of the play while both our Dmen were behind the net, they couldn't recover. That was way more egregious than anything from the last game, basically gave them a goal.

 

[Blackjack]

We have no one for Hischier to play with when he returns to the lineup (in 2023 or whatever)

 

[NJDevils17]

Johnsson is hitting his stride keep it rolling.

This team missed Bratt a lot.

Everything Hughes touches turns to gold

add hughes and bratt

 

[njdevils1982]

f*** that…..if its good for chico its good for him

 

[R8Devs]

I think most of the skaters were fine for the most part. they got punished hard for getting outplayed for like the first 5-6 min of the third but I thought it looked better than the Islanders game they won. shit happens

 

[Bcap88]

Yea forwards for lost on the first goal but that shouldn’t have been a rebound to begin with, second goal was a trip and I think dumbass Subban getting caught below the net with no one in front

 

[NJDevs26]

I like your list better than mine, although I had also listed Zajac (1000th game, yay) and Ty Smith for the hell of it.

 

[TorontoMedia]

We will be in last place in about 48 hours.
Fun start to the season, back to reality

lol Wedgewood hasn't been bad especially tonight... its easy to pin it on the goalie when you have no idea what youre watching ( not saying you in particular ) but yes he should probably get the night off vs Buffalo

Forgot to say this :

When you say "you have no idea what you're watching", you are saying "ME"(you) in particular.

You may make all the excuses for Wedge you want.

But the fact of the matter is that not having our #1 in net (F.U. Covid) hurts us and continues to hurt us.

Wedge is not worth defending like he's Mac. He's just another guy that is interchangeable with Cormier, whom I want to see next against Buffalo.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Maybe I'm taking crazy pills but I thought Palmieri had a great game. At least his best game of the season and I think it's cause he was off Hughes's line.

Wedgewood's gonna have games like that, the only thing I'm really concerned about is the PP.

 

[Nicomo Cosca]

We have no one for Hischier to play with when he returns to the lineup (in 2023 or whatever)

If Palms can’t get going once his center is back I’m giving up all hope.

 

[JK3]

Shots are nice and all be someone has to finish, I still don't think we really had too many good chances though.

 

[Tiredswede]

not hughes best game by far. that line need a shooter or someone defensively responsible

 

[Emperoreddy]

They get way too scrambly when plays breakdown.

You can get away with that with Blackwood because he doesn't give up rebounds like ever, but they are gonna get burned with pretty much anyone else in net.

If they don't get criss crossed two of those goals don't happen.

 

[Nicomo Cosca]

I like your list better than mine, although I had also listed Zajac (1000th game, yay) and Ty Smith for the hell of it.

It wasn’t.

Have you watched the Islanders or Rangers play this year? Pittsburgh isn’t very good either, their goaltending is a joke.
