GDT: Ducks @ GoodDevils, 7:00, MSG

[PKs Broken Stick]

I hope Ruff gets questioned about Holtz benching

 

[Waterbuf]

What the hell happened with Holtz? Benched for no reason after the 1st?

 

[JK3]

That definitely wasn’t Dougie’s signature, couldn’t really see the whole thing but it looked like I saw something about Nico lol.

 

[DerekDevils30]

~80% xGF and CF

The pass to Hamilton was really good but the one shortly after to Hischier might have been even better. Puck was on his stick and off his stick in a split second. Defender didn’t have any time to react.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

That was a statement in the third, from the skaters and Blackwood. Kept the pressure up on a tired team, and didn’t let a couple bad penalties and missed chances deflate them. Star players stepped up in all the right ways.

5 points through 3 games for Bratt

And has looked just about average doing it outside the second half of todays game. Tonight was the first night I really noticed him out there with the puck

Jack has looked the best and gotten nothing for it but one point tonight. Guy should have like seven points by now

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Dougie looking like the guy we paid for. He’s healthy

 

[Bleedred]

100%. I still think it’s the vaccines. That’s where it seemed to start IMO.

I still think it's the last 57 games, of which he's been an .892% goalie over that span.

That's gotta be close to a a league worse since February of 2021. Probably a league worse with a minimum of 30 games played.

Korpisalo might be worse in that time though.

That was probably before almost any player in the league had even taken the vaccines.

IDGAF about the vaccines. He doesn't stop enough pucks over the last 57 games he's played.

I mean for f***s sake, this was just the second time in his last FOURTEEN GAMES where he's allowed fewer than 3 goals.

 

[billingtons ghost]

Ducks are tired pus and we tickled them like a kitten after sleepwalking the first.

That said, contributions from just about everyone. (Except Holtz who evidently shat in Lindy's coffee. Nice to get Nico, Palat and Mercer goals and Jack points.

We are so much a better team with Marino, Palat and Haula, I can't even... If I never have to see Mango again, that would be swell.

Jack got 2 points tonight.

Will you please relent and say he had an ok game and gave us what we asked for for f***s sake?

I hope Ruff gets questioned about Holtz benching

"erghh, is that not enough bench?"

 

[Guadana]

Losing pucks, shot in the chest.
Guy should play with player who can care him. He isn't on the Mercers level for now.

But I really like his setups. Need time to adapt and patience. I think Ruff isn't in position to have patience.

I could not care less how a player looks if they’re putting up 5 points every 3 games.

Now Bratt obviously won’t finish the season with 130+ points, but he also hasn’t just looked “average” before tonight.

 

[billingtons ghost]

So he's on pace for about 135 points.

He had a great night. Noticable. I have him in Fantasy so if anyone wants to trade based upon these sage projections, I'm dealing.

lmao

As an Anaheim fan, this looks about right for us.

We make up for our terrible defense with softness

the presser is about to go off

Maybe Bratt hasn't been his usual flashy self but he's tilted the ice more than anyone else on the team.

It is nice to play you guys. It's nice to play us too. Maybe we should play every game against each other this season and just watch Hughes and Zegras have fun.

 

[njdevils1982]

Blackwood back! Good job kid!

and andreas in utica! ... good times!

 

[Bleedred]

PLEASE. I f***ing love Bruce

I feel like he'd work well with this team, but he's very old at this point.

We could have had him back when we hired Ruff, but I don't remember ever hearing we ever talked to him.

 

[Rynewed]

Jack got 2 points tonight.

Hmm, good good. Idk which goal I missed that on but good

I could not care less how a player looks if they’re putting up 5 points every 3 games.

Now Bratt obviously won’t finish the season with 130+ points, but he also hasn’t just looked “average” before tonight.

as someone else said he hasnt been as flashy as he normally is, but obviously very effective.

But yeah for Jesper's handles and skating id say hes been pretty average in the wow factor so far

That dish to Dougie was pretty flashy.

It wasn't a bad game from him. Actually, by his standards it was a good game, because like I said, this is only the second time in his last 14 games that he's allowed fewer than 3 goals. This is rare territory for him.

One bad goal early and he looked shaky up until a few seconds before he allowed the second goal.
