GDT: Game # 10: Jets @ Devils, 7PM, MSG

[Emperoreddy]

Pavelic robed Elias once and Jagr twice.

Worth it to get this monkey off our backs. That is a win that can rejuvenate a team.

i thought elias played his best game of the season (which may not be saying much)....larsson looked superb once he got a few shifts under him, seemed to play with the confidence i remember from his early days.....josefson flying again and silky shootout goal.....severson was great and bailed a lot of guys out with a good stick.....thought clowe-zajac-jagr was effective once united (ive been hoping they would give them a shot together)......hopefully pete keeps the lines and dpairs as what they were in the final period.

 

[SeidoN]

That Josefson/Henrique/Ryder line looks like a keeper.

if that becomes a legit 2nd line I might cry

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Ok Merrill's good again. Looked great after the first period.

 

[Eric Sachs]

Ya, whoever shot first tried to do that dipsy-doodle crap Spezza pulled the last shootout. This time Cory poke checked and broke it up.

He played all three correctly.

I talked last SO loss about him just being way too passive, playing way too deep and allowing the shooter to just carve him up. He plays way too reactionary at times.

Tonight, he stood at the top of his crease and put pressure on the shooter. He actually poke-checked one away. Just knowing a goalie will utilize a poke-check makes you not want to come too close.. which is exactly what the next two shooters did. They both shot from much further out.

Look at the SO goals scored on him. The shooter basically walks into the crease. They didn't come close to it tonight after attempt 1.

 

[njdevils1982]

No we're not.

But this was GIGANTIC considering it's been an ongoing thing that really p*ssed me off. I'm so damn happy it's FINALLY OVER.


Now let's see if they can use this monumental moment to jumpstart the rest of their season.

5-3-2? Still a solid position to begin a run to the playoffs.

just busting balls........win feels good ...

cheers

Ok Merrill's good again. Looked great after the first period.

You sure? he made a few horrible passes in overtime. Severson had to bail him out once with under a minute in regulation.

Ok Merrill's good again. Looked great after the first period.

Ehhh, I didn't think he was that effective at all. I thought besides Zids he was our worst defenseman. Salvador did have 1 brutal turnover but besides that he played pretty well. The other three were clearly the best tonight.

NHL.com's 3 stars: Ryder, Wheeler, Pavalec

SMH

NHL is obviously not aware of the Devils monumental losing streak in the shootout. Otherwise, they would've put YaYo there.

I don't believe Pavalec was better than Cory to be put on that list.

 

[liquid1988]

CORY: I've been campaigning to get (Yayo) in the shootout for a long, long, time, so it was good to see him score.

I KNOW THE FEELING CORY

you know when your starting goalie wants a certain player to be in a S/O, you should do it. Maybe Deboer is listening to players finally

 

[Combat Koala]

A shootout win was something I didn't expect. Good for them. JJ and Severson made this game. Larsson played well. Nice.

Also mad respect to Clowe for having possibly the worst game ever. He was the best player for the Jets tonight, no doubt.

 

[Cheddabombs]

You sure? he made a few horrible passes in overtime. Severson had to bail him out once with under a minute in regulation.

He played a lot better than his last game, which isn't saying much, but still it's a step in the right direction.

 

[Zippy316]

Hopefully, they start giving Josefson some more time, as he's earned it.

Move him up to at least the third line, I really don't care at this point how they do it, but he has every right to be there.

 

[Devils090]

Josefson, Lars and Schneider all played great

Severson was otherworldly

 

[Emperoreddy]

Cory was excellent tonight, and I hope/think this could be a game he can really build on mentally.

 

[Bologna 1]

greene seems to be finding his stride too, he was excellent. schneider had a solid game, made a lot of underrated saves all night IMO.

 

[zackattack8]

Wow dude. Mad avatar.

haha thanks somebody made it in the bandwagon thread last playoffs!

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

Maybe we'll luck out for a change and JJ's skill will translate to a 30-40 point player

 

[DerekDevils30]

Jets had their way at times in the neutral zone but Schneider was fantastic tonight. Shout out to Severson, Greene, and Larsson on the back end and Jagr and Ryder up front. Hopefully this shootout win propels them heading forward as the schedule gets really tough heading into November.

 

[Emperoreddy]

greene seems to be finding his stride too, he was excellent.

Agreed, he is starting to look more like the Greene we know and need.

 

[DenisSamson3]

Greene played 28 minutes!

 

[AfroThunder396]

Not thrilled with this game at all, but I'm thrilled with the shootout win.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

The only time Josefson should ever come out of the lineup again is because of injury. Hes a mainstay now.

 

[MadDevil]

Cory was excellent tonight, and I hope/think this could be a game he can really build on mentally.

Let's hope it's something the whole team can build off of. They finally got the shootout monkey off their backs, got a win at home, and after coming back late. Good response to that abomination of a game against the Pens.

 

[Devilsfan992]

This was EXACTLY the type of game the Devils should be playing. Like it or not, we are not a run and gun team. We excel when we are a possession heavy team, and limit shots on net. Don't forget we are missing Havlat and Cammallerri so we have two guys who would add scoring for us. I wouldn't get away from this game unless we really need to push the tempo.
