Ovi looks weird with or without teethNot Ovi haha.
your defense of miles wood is really something i'll give you that. he's not that good of a player. when I think of wood i think of him actually not scoring on a breakaway
Well whatever it was, it jumped a bunch after tonight.Since there are no stats that I know of for tracking scoring percentage off of breakaways I will continue to think of Wood as a player who uses his speed to create them but more often than not does not score on them. If you can find this stat somewhere I'd love to see it.
Thought the Devils played a good first 25-30 mins then they stood back way too much for the rest of the fane. They were fortunate to finish the few chances they got in the 3rd.Sometimes need a sanity check from a different fan base. i watched tonight's game and saw the devils were the better team in first, were better team coming out of each period and other than last 10-15 minutes in 2nd period were better team. I have flyer base telling me about CF 75% and we were better team but unlucky. Can Devil fans just send a little sanity?
Where there's a will, there's a way.Through the glass?
Why do people ***** about Wood so much? Dude is a 4th liner who can sub on the 3rd when needed and has had double digit goals for the last 3 years. If a coaching staff mis-uses him above his talent level that's not his fault.
On that note, I'm going to say something I didn't think I would ever. I like how Severson has been playing the last few weeks. Ever since that string of games where he was just giving away back breaking goals to the other team (including scoring on his own net), he's been very quiet in a good way in the defensive zone and contributing on offense. Now, is this just a mirage or is it a corner being turned that he can maintain? I'm still relatively skeptical. We shall see.
I was at that game as well, I remember some dude sitting behind me was talking about how much of a bust Zacha was, and then Zacha scoring that shorty. Def yelled Zacha's name louder than I normally would after that...His first shutout came last year, in a matinee against the Canes. I was at the game. Zacha was an absolute horse that game.
Should've punched him
So trade all our young guys (except Nico and Jack) on good contracts (except Butcher) and keep our older players who's contracts expire at the end of next year? Got it.He did have his typical brain fart turnover in front of the net in the 3rd period but it doesn’t stick out as much when it’s in a blowout win. He has been playing better though, hopefully he keeps it up.
Still wouldn’t mind trading him for an upgrade. I want to see Fitz (or the new GM) reshape the team by packaging a couple of these guys to fill other needs:
Butcher
Severson
Zacha
Wood
Bratt (for the right deal)
Not big on the idea of trading Palmieri or Coleman
It was Brian Boyle on Hockey Fights Cancer night in November of 2018Missed the trivia answer, was it Cammaleri or Jagr or what? (Before Palmieri, the last devil with two PP goals in a game I think) Man I hope it hasn't been longer than that, it's already sad..
He was an absolute stud that game. The type of game that shows you how fantastic he can be if he has the effort on a nightly basis.I was at that game as well, I remember some dude sitting behind me was talking about how much of a bust Zacha was, and then Zacha scoring that shorty. Def yelled Zacha's name louder than I normally would after that...
Man, MBW is bad. He couldn't even save 50 shots. The assist gives him some leeway towards not getting waived.Meh, Hamburglar 3.95
We should trade him to Philly!Wait. Doesn't Wood usually have good games against Philly? He has a thing against them, if I remember correctly.
