Post-Game Talk: Opening Day - Devils 5, Oilers 2 (@ Sweden)

[Comparison Ford]

our defense really stepped up today, mueller and vatanen crushed it.

i'm heavily enjoying the team speed and the grit, along with their focus. i know the oilers arent the best team, so lets see if they can apply all the good parts of their game tonight to the home opener.

 

[Azathoth]

Looks like wood and Zajac have a budding chemistry, if true that could make the top 9 very dangerous. If they can get a full healthy season for MarJo, oh man.

 

[SabresSharks]

Todd's hotseat gets a few degrees warmer with every underwhelming game like this. Time for some lurking on HF Oilers.

 

[Cage Helmet]

Was expecting more from Nico

Like what? A 10 point game? Come on, guy.

 

[Nubmer6]

I was told we were gonna lose this one. Don’t know why the current Oilers get so much respect.

Because they made the playoffs last year and we didn... wait, what?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Well no TV feed for me today, but the game sounded like a convincing victory on the radio. Well done!

It absolutely was convincing. Oilers had no answer outside of McDavid, and even he we did a good job limiting for the most part.

I was told we were gonna lose this one. Don’t know why the current Oilers get so much respect.

Because they're a Canadian team with Connor McDavid. Still leeching off the 2016-2017 season

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Butcher finished up 19-5 in Corsi
JQ 15-6
MarJo 13-4
Wood 13-6
Zacha 15-7

 

[Nubmer6]

now we have to wait 5 more days for the next game. damn

It gives our unicorn time to heal his horn.

 

[RangerDoggo]

Gotta say, Greene on the second pairing looked good today. Hope it keeps up. He can’t do first pairing minutes anymore but he’s still got some left in the tank.

 

[Devils731]

I’m pretty worried about Hall and Bratt, they don’t have any points and I am concerned this trend will continue for the whole season.

I’m not criticizing, only asking this question, can the Devils win many games if Hall has 0 points this season?

 

[DerekDevils30]

The forward corps is deep. That third line is going to FEAST and I can't wait for Bratt to come back and add some more pizzazz to that second line

Always thought he was the worst head coach in the league out of those who have been employed long term. I know @Bleedred will love that one.

 

[DEVILS130]

Can’t get over that 2nd Zajac goal. Unreal hands

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Was expecting more from Nico

Thanks for keeping us honest after the win

 

[haak84]

bold prediction: kinkaid is a top 10 goalie this season.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Apologize for the delay

Awesome win!!

 

[NjDevsRR]

Butcher finished up 19-5 in Corsi
JQ 15-6
MarJo 13-4
Wood 13-6
Zacha 15-7

 

[Dialamo]

Mueller was an absolute stud

Waste of a second rounder

My favorite.

See you there.

[Jersey Fresh]

MarJo 13-4
Wood 13-6
Zacha 15-7

If this is the Wood we get all season, then damn.

 

[BahlDeep]

Mirco and Vats with a 47% Corsi going against Mcdavid.

 

[NJDevs26]

Gotta say, Greene on the second pairing looked good today. Hope it keeps up. He can’t do first pairing minutes anymore but he’s still got some left in the tank.

Yeah IF Mueller can hold up on the first pairing with Vat it makes the D so much better with that and Greene down on the second pairing.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Miles Wood about to have a 30-30 season don’t @ me

 

[Bleedred]

Like I said 5 times before the game started.

LOSER COACH!

He used to get so much praise for the Sharks success, as if you needed to be a really good head coach to get that team to make the playoffs. I think you needed to be a really mediocre coach to not be able to get them to at least the SCF during those years.

SC Bern > Oilers confirmed
