Dougie saw his time cut tonight pretty significantly tonight. He came into this game averaging 22:11 he got 16 minutes tonight.But Dougie though….he really seems to have his head up his ass a lot of times, and combining that with his slow speed it’s just…ugly. I can easily envision those last few years of his contract being a real nightmare.
Gotta be fully aware of that shitbag that wears number 8 for the Rags.
Luke’s move to go around Guentzel at the Pittsburgh blue line and enter the zone to set up Bratt’s game winning goal was just sick. And so effortless. Guentzel is standing up there and Luke just blows around him like he’s a traffic pylon.he is already our best DMan
Ha, I did, Ruff squelched that kid stuff quick.LOL I didn't even notice that sudden change in Holtz facial expression. Ruff be like, "Don't get too excited, you're getting benched for scoring a goal".
It depends on if you’re talking about relevance of winning games or something else.Nah. I was told the other night Trouba is irrelevant.
Bahl played the least of any d-man, lousy numbers too.
For all you Smith fans out there hoping he gets more time looking fwd.
But the ride is so much fun.If you’re an older, slower team, you can’t be sporting mustaches. Just going to slow you down even more.
Was probably congratulating him or something lol.Ha, I did, Ruff squelched that kid stuff quick.

That may be the toughest part of the structure.Siegs and Dougie below their own goal line are often looking pretty ugly at times.
The d-man trying to break out under pressure from below the circles often doesn't have a real solid option in this system.

Who does this kid think he is !? Jack and Quinn Hughes out there !?Luke’s move to go around Guentzel at the Pittsburgh blue line and enter the zone to set up Bratt’s game winning goal was just sick. And so effortless. Guentzel is standing up there and Luke just blows around him like he’s a traffic pylon.
Not many players can make that play, not to mention make it look that easy.
Does anyone have anything positive to say about this structure in the d-zone? LolThat may be the toughest part of the structure.
You win the puck down low and the other defenseman and a forward are standing next to you so aren’t good options as it doesn’t get the puck away from the battle.
Another forward is standing still in the slot. The other forward is standing still at the halfboards. Neither are great options as they don’t have movement and have back pressure from the opponents defenseman.
You are kind of asking for one of the Devils to try and best an opponent 1 on 1 to get the puck out unless you’d like the Devils to high flip the puck 20 times a game. Which arguably could be the correct thing; get the puck to the neutral zone where the Devils are stronger.
I thought our D was worse this year because we replaced Graves/Severson with this scrawny boy that’s barely out of his teens tho.Kid has been sick all year. 10 points in 15 games, great skating and offensive vision. His defensive game has vastly improved as well. He has room to improve there, but he's been better than I thought he would.
Seems he’s had trouble since that game he got hit with a puck a couple games back.Bahl played the least of any d-man, lousy numbers too.
For all you Smith fans out there hoping he gets more time looking fwd.
Highlights from the game:
Pretty cool to see two our goals come from pure snipes (Bratt and Toffoli), two from nice passing plays (Lazar and Holtz), and one from pure garbge (Bastian).
Scoring every which way to end the Pens' hot streak.
Nice that he scored a simple goal that B smith could have scored but whatever. He still made numerous head scratching plays with the puckChocolateRobert nowhere to be seen after Holtz scored.
Ha, I didn't get it at first.ChocolateRobert nowhere to be seen after Holtz scored.
