GDT: Devils vs Canucks - 1:00 PM - MSG+

[JimEIV]

Zacha reminds me so much of Elias with a clean shaven face.

My wife said He really looks like Patty when he was sitting on the bench.

 

[NJDevs26]

Marty in 2010?

That's Bleed-esque if you got that from memory.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Pettersson has been largely invisible, outside of getting his **** rocked by Greene in the 1st.

weird saying this about the devils defense, but they've done a good job making sure he doesn't get open or quality shots.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I mean, it was a high risk pick that looked awful for a good while.

Pretty happy with it right now, though.

And it's a goalie. Who knows with them? Kinkaid looked like he was breaking through to being a serviceable starter last season too...

 

[Cheddabombs]

Somewhere out there Conte's got a shit-eating grin

and someone should check on DD to make sure he's okay

 

[Japam]

Impressive. I was always a Blackliever.



Ugh, that was terrible.

 

[Tundra]

Blackwood was a BPA pick that they couldn't resist. They didn't want a goalie, but he was there. Looks good so far.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

MB29 giving me reason to watch this team again.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Mac has us back on track!

 

[JimEIV]

Blackwood has more wins today than Cory has had in the last year

 

[Lou is God]

Blackwood reminds me a lot of Patrick Roy in his looks and demeanor and even how he plays.

 

[NjDevsRR]

That's Bleed-esque if you got that from memory.

Apparently it was said on the telecast but I turned it off before then lol

 

[NJDevs26]

It'll be interesting to see once teams get more tape and can see his tendencies, but so far so good.

Even more than that you have to see what happens when a goalie has a bad game or two in a row, how he bounces back from that.

 

[Emperoreddy]

How about my son with another goal?

You go Zacha!

 

[NJDevs26]

Blackwood was a BPA pick that they couldn't resist.

I actually agree with this, that's why I always found the Blackwood draft criticism confusing...they obviously felt he was BPA, people keep harping on BPA (even when it's less than obvious) but apparently not when it's a goalie.

 

[Blender]

How about my son with another goal?

You go Zacha!

He's been playing fantastic hockey.

 

[BahlDeep]

Blackwood has more wins today than Cory has had in the last year

In 3 games played

 

[Richer's Ghost]

mb29 has quite an impressive resume to start his career

it's like it's meant to be...

MB29 again.

 

[Japam]

Black to Black shutouts.

 

[Cheddabombs]

How about my son with another goal?

You go Zacha!

he's my son, get out of here

 

[Billdo]

When do tickets for the statue night go on sale?

 

[Nocashstyle]

Second. Highest North American.

Meh, close enough haha. Either way, a second round pick on the second highest ranked goalie in the draft did not look awful at the time like that poster said.

 

[MadDevil]

Now, if we could just get Blake Speers to be a late bloomer...

 

[NJ07102]

Like I said the last Game: THIS is goaltending But the team played really well in front of him and took away the shooting lanes all night. Impressive game by the whole team, pretty tough second period, but in the end a rather easy and well deserved win. Now 5 more wins and we're back in the race ;-)

 

[Emperoreddy]

it's like it's meant to be...

MB29 again.

Chico railed off all the similarities, including both Mb29s getting their first wins against Boston.
