GDT: Devils vs. Canadiens - 7:00 PM MSG+2

[Oneiro]

They had 11 wins coming into tonight

I meant soft as opposed to bad.

 

[My3Sons]

Stay tuned.

SOMEONE is going to argue about SOMETHING.

Alright I’ll start.....

Why hasn’t Shero extended MarJo yet? Three more games like tonight and NJ will have to pay Kane money to keep him.


There that should get it going.

 

[NJDevs26]

I like Mojo, But I honestly don’t think he is playing anywhere near his potential.
The secondary assists he got tonight were the result of other guys making great plays.

Sure but he also had a couple of great passes (the one to Hall and another one i can't remember atm) that the goalie wound up saving so it kind of evened out, he did make an actual impact in the second period.

 

[Nubmer6]

I love how the usual posters who ***** and moan about anything vanish anytime this team wins.

I'm here!

I just got to learn to bitch and moan more.

Tonight was his best game of the season and it isn't even close.

I question if you watched the game if you think otherwise

 

[Bleedred]

Johansson is gonna need to produce like this if we wanna be a playoff team. Obviously not two points per game, but more consistent production and hopefully 40+ points.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

thats...wrong

 

[Blender]

thats...wrong

The f***? Did the Sportsnet guys get to do the voting here? Tatar had zero points, was a -2, and only had 2 shots on goal.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yakovlev, I noticed, is very good with his lead passes out of the zone (or transition plays). He seems to be good at hitting tape very steadily.

He is terrible at covering the middle of the ice

His zone coverage overall has been horrible.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Wait what? Mojo was announced as the third star

 

[Blender]

Wait what? Mojo was announced as the third star

It's Tatar on NHL.com as well Montréal Canadiens - New Jersey Devils - November 21st, 2018

 

[Bleedred]

I saw that a few minutes ago on the game log and thought it was a mistake. They announced Johansson as the third star after the game. That’s one of the most random and weird three stars I’ve ever seen. It was also the Wednesday before thanksgiving that they gave Jared Boll the games first star over Marty in a game we won 2-1 and he scored the only Blue Jackets goal off his skate on a total fluke. I don’t even think Tatar had one point tonight.

 

[Nubmer6]

"Tatar" is Slovakian for "Johansson"

 

[Blender]

Bitter Habs media people clearly stacked the voting for that. Typical Canadian hockey media being as objective and unbiased as always.

 

[Davegarri]

Just got back from the game. I just want to say I really like Yakovlev from what I saw from him tonight. I think he has potential to be a good player for us. He made one questionable decision with the puck, but other than that he made the smart play every time

 

[haak84]

everyone played well. solid effort. montreal is soft af. nice to see our team dominate a period.

 

[Triumph]

Tatar is #90, so is Johansson, someone got their wires crossed with that

 

[Emperoreddy]

That has to be a mistake. He didn't even score for them

He's got good awareness. He's made some big mistakes but I like how quickly+deftly he moves the puck. He's kind of the perfect partner for Mueller in that way because Mueller so often defers to his partner on breakouts.

He needs to get more ice time instead of lovejoy

 

[Devils Dominion]

What's up with Joey?

Can we get through a game without losing a player to injury.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Under the radar notes:

Nico is on pace to match his point totals from last year, but his play has without question been more consistent than last year. He is so special and fun to watch.

Blake Coleman is halfway to matching last year’s totals and it’s not even December. Another assist tonight. Unreal how well he’s playing.

Zacha is halfway to matching his career high in goals. obviously that’s tongue in cheek, but he can still progress if he keeps this up.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Of course the 1 Devils game I miss due to a long azz drive is a fantastic Devils win. At least I got to listen to Chico via XM.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Coleman might end up being the top six player people expected of Wood.
