Just rewatched the important stuff after getting home from The Rock. We were sooooo gifted that no goal. This board would explode if that was against us. The entire game was horrible as far as officiating is concerned. Ticky tack calls and then complete no calls on BLATANT stuff.

The referees' decision to make the game 4 on 4 was absurd. There's no way teams should be able to steal free 4 on 4s late in the way that Carolina did. Either don't call anything or put the Devils on the PP there.

I was watching the game so didn't get to comment, but lol. Hall finishes about 0.0001% of his breakaways. Pavel has a better finishing percentage on breakaways than Hall I would bet.

You’re right; Zacha is better then Hall. Case closed.

Zacha for MVP.

3 points in his last 12 games and 7 total on the season. I’m convinced. Hall has 10 points in his last 10 btw and 37 on the season but I’m sure he sucks at finishing.

Officiating has been brutal this year.

They always get mandates on specific issues, season to season, but whatever they're trying to do right now is hurting the product.

Made zero sense for that to have been called like that. You give the trailing team a Power Play basically yet we can't even ice the puck bc it was technically 4 on 4. Garbage call.

I mean you CAN see that the post that was made was very clearly speaking solely about breakaways and NOT the players as a whole right?

That's not what he was saying, but some people just won't miss a chance to take a shot at a young player.

"Sergachev taught him that." ;)

That was sweet.


That cross ice one timer save in the 3rd, I was sure that it was a goal.

Big Mac got across and made a spectacular save

That right there, was the difference-maker.

I truly believe that the Devils would've lost in the Shootout if the Canes tied it and they went to OT.

He's a freak athletically.

I almost feel dumb saying it given his problems putting points on the board, but he has so much more skill then Zajac.

But they both certainly have the defensive center gene.

Not dumb, it’s obvious almost every time he’s on the ice. He just hasn’t put it all together, hopefully he’s on his way.

Find where I said Zacha is better than Hall as a player please.

My point is that the whole freaking team blows at finishing except Coleman, Hall included, but it seems only Zacha ever gets called out for it.

If we insist on talking Zacha in here - Zacha's A-game is improving. It's improved a ton so far this season as compared to last season. The more pressing issue for him now is to battle harder on nights when he's not on his A-game - to be able to make positive impacts on nights where for whatever reason he's not able to summon that A level.

Bad job by game ops poking fun at the fan in the Hartford jersey

It's all good to do the Nascar joke with the Rawly fan, but not funny with the Hartford fan .

Otherwise, game ops did a good job with the Kids Day stuff

I don't get the choice to bring back the Hartford Jerseys at all.

It's like, hey guys, remember that time we weren't in Carolina? Wasn't that great!?

I'm willing to bet 95% of anyone who read that knew what you meant.

For context, Zacha is now at the same age as Zajac as a rookie.

Still quite a lot of development ahead.
This is crazy.
