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

[Emperoreddy]

Bit of a statement to win a dominant a game with Hall off the score sheet still looking at around 70%

Hall and Nico didn't have their best game, so it's great to still knock the Oilers over and kick them in the teeth.

Don’t need good goaltending if you don’t give up chances

Time to trade Hall!!!

Terrific win. Kinkaid is our goalie. I said that last year. We showed lots of speed. IMO Coleman is a waste. Boyle shows me nothing as does Lovejoy but it is extremely early in the season but they continue their pattern of last season.

Go Devils.

woods gonna eclipse last years assist total by game 40

The only things to possibly be upset about would be the penalties, but whatever, they still won and the PK stepped up after the first goal against.

Very nice to see us win and get carried by non-Taylor Hall players. Palmieri, Zajac, Wood. JQ looked pretty good as well. We need that kind of performance from the middle-6.

Now that’s a whooping.

Also shows how good McDavid is that he was able to orchestrate two goals off only two high danger chances.

Too bad Chia can’t get him any help.

1 down, 9 to go on @JK3 's GDT season-opening run

I actually feel bad for McDavid having to play with that many slow guys. You could see him have to ease off on a bunch of rushes to let players catch up to him. Could you imagine how much more dangerous he would be playing for a team like ours that focuses on speed? Oilers might be one of the slowest teams in the league.

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.

My least favorite loser move was continuing to roll all 4 lines down a goal with less than 10 minutes left in a playoff game. Gotta keep the boys fresh for OT, right Todd?

 

[Bleedred]

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.

I wanna know what was so special about him. Because he was an assistant for the Red Wings under Babcock?

Ice was a bit tilted.

 

[Emperoreddy]

And people say we are a one man team. Yeeesh

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

When Bratt’s back I think I’d just put him in for Boyle. I’m happy to have Boyle on the team to fill in when injuries occur, but I’d rather Coleman just be the 4C.

He probably thinks they lost because the game started at 11:00 AM Edmonton time. And they’ve only been in Europe for 5 days.

I’ll never forget when the Sharks lost to I think it was the Rangers during a matinee game. It might have been the Islanders. He blamed the 1:00 PM start, which is a 10:00 AM start San Jose time. Despite the fact that the team had been in the Eastern time zone almost a week and had already played a couple games there on that trip.

At the very least the forth line should rotate a bit once Bratt is back. Give Boyle a few extra nights off.

It's all about the resume, man. He won a Cup!

Wood looks like the best Devil since he's come back.

Wood has definitely gotten stronger and worked a lot on his puck control. Guy was a monster today.

 

[JK3]
