I'm certainly good with Zetterlund getting the start over Tatar, and putting Wood with Haula and Mercer.Honestly, right now, for me:

I didn’t see the 3d period but I was surprised they left Blackwood in there after the amount of shots he faced in the first two periods. He had been superb so why not leave him with that?i don’t want johnsson on the team anymore, and rango shouldn’t play center. and blackwood looked good thank god.
those are my impressions of the game tonight
No one is sold on this goaltending but unfortunately there isn’t any other goaltending available at the goaltending store for Fitz to pick up right now.I'm still not sold on goaltending. Sorry, one game in the preseason against a pretty weak lineup with a lot of non-NHL caliber players isn't enough to get me to believe. And that's only just a disclaimer for my point, I'm not looking to shit on him he played a great game.
But other than goaltending, I'm not sold on Ruff. I don't like that he's back. I can't really take him coming back seriously and I do think we're close to seeing Brunette take over.
And I know I played this game a lot last year (''Ruff will be gone by Christmas!'' ''Ruff will be gone by New Years!'' ''Ruff will be gone by January 13th!'' ''Okay, Ruff is probably here the rest of the season, but will be fired no later than a few days after the season ends!'', but I wouldn't continue playing this game anymore if Andrew Brunette were not one of the assistants brought in.
Remember who our head coach is ? Haha. In all honesty it's good Blackwood got a full game. Last year he would of been pulled or out injured.I didn’t see the 3d period but I was surprised they left Blackwood in there after the amount of shots he faced in the first two periods.

Plus a good deal of the purpose of this right now is conditioning, getting guys in game shape.Remember who our head coach is ? Haha. In all honesty it's good Blackwood got a full game. Last year he would of been pulled or out injured.

very excited for you to post this again verbatim 1 calendar year from nowI'm still not sold on goaltending.

Sorry man. Johnsson was like an advertisement on how not to play hockey.
When he has infinite time and space, he makes beautiful passes. He just will never get that consistently in the NHL, and he loses every single puck battle, throws the puck away. He's more undersized garbage that just can't do anything else. Watching Palat and even Haula shows what it takes to win in the NHL and Mango has none of that.
Palat might be our most complete player. I would've said Nico last year, but Palat doesn't look like he's about to get killed all of the time.
Umm, does the name Ilya Kovalchuk ring a bell?Jack is by far the most talented forward this franchise has ever had.
You do realize it was his screen that allowed Hughes to score the Devils only goal? That's what good forwards do - pay the price for teammates.No idea why Holtz was in front of the net, but I'm no coach so.
Not that I don’t value your posting, but goddamn I hope you’re proven wrong. Whenever it happens, at least this is assuredly Ruff’s last season.I'm still not sold on goaltending.

Yes, Hischier did
Devils score ONE goal and get badly out-shot and this board is blaming Geertsen, Johnsson and 19-year-old Chase Stillman?
Really?
