GDT: Rangers at Devils 7pm EST

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

Just got home from the game, went with my GF and she loved it.

Jack is really really something and worth the price of admission already.

The future is bright and we deserve it all. I truly Enjoy nights like these in bad seasons because you can just see the talent on the ice. The devils don’t have the luxury the rangers have with college FA and UFA’s wanting to only play for them.

This has been a long process but the core is clearly evident and home grown, nothing better.

Just mad that Hank's better at being an analyst within 4 months like he was a goalie.

This is one of the best seasons a Devils forward has ever had.

Outside of the fact that he missed so many games, thus causing his games played to be much fewer, but this is seriously one of the better performances we’ve ever seen.

Especially adjusted for era. I don’t even wanna hear about what Muller did 30-35 years ago.

This is really up there with the 00-01 Elias, 08-09 Parise and close to the Taylor Hall MVP year when adjusting for games played. It won’t mean as much because Jack won’t play more than 65 or 66 games, but this is really impressive.

I couldn't tell if you were talking about Jack or Bratt. Bratt is on track to have one of the very rare post-lockout 80+ point seasons for this team.

Jack Edwards in Boston is tough competition.

I don't know. His SH% was outrageous last year at over 26%. He had 10 goals 3 assists in 21 games. I guess they were betting on him just hitting a hot streak but even then why not just give him a chance. You're Arizona and he signed for less than a million for 2 years.

They didn't let him go, he was a group VI UFA.

I'll say it again, Mercer only trailing a 26 year old rookie playing with arguably the best player in the world and another guy on a 105 pt pace in primary pts and #1 in primary pts among the 2020 class this year.

I'm assuming I'm reading this wrong because this looks like Mercer is 3rd in the league in primary points?

 

[OmNomNom]

Got to watch highlights

Screening good. Playing near the crease also good. We need more of that

 

[Guttersniped]

I enjoyed Mercer discussing Daws being a “young goalie” at length in his post game interview when he’s 10 months younger than him.

 

[Alex NJD]

Watched the game with a couple of my friends, my one friend who's a Rangers fan left absolutely FUMING after the 2nd period. Was a great night to be a Devils fan

But they f***ed up letting him get to ufa to begin with, it's not like his stats in the A were bad

He signed a minimum salary deal with his hometown team. Hard to compete with that. Doubt he thought he'd be playing with the top guys all year and scoring 20+ goals.

Among rookies. 2nd behind Bunting. Then also 1st in the 2020 class this year

Was there more Rangers fans than devils fans?

It very much looked and sounded like it.

 

[devilsblood]

Lower bowl? absolutely.

We were completely surrounded.

 

[MadDevil]

It’s hilarious reading the Rangers post game thread - with their record this year - but they are bitterly criticizing Fox and Panarin as turn over machines and Gallants coaching too. There’s no joy in Mudville. You would think it’s our board after a blowout loss. Lol. Satisfying though. We really rattled them tonight it seems.

It's basically the hockey fan formula after a loss.

- Criticize skilled players for turning it over too much
- Criticize the coach for any number of things, whether they really mattered or not
- Throw in something about effort or grit or caring
- Mix in some complaining about the officiating

 

[Bleedred]

Particularly Jack but Bratt isn’t far behind.

 

[Hisch13r]

It really is funny that I just can't shake the feeling of coming out of this game wholly unimpressed with Jack's and he still essentially had 2 goals and a sick primary assist (sure you can also say the secondary on Mercer but that one is iffy and that'd have been unimpressive too)

 

[Hisch13r]

Rewatching Jack's 2nd goal and the play Yegor makes to evade Fox's hit is f***ing sweet. He receives the breakout pass then spins away from the hit and gives it to Jack.

Basically came here to post this. That little spin-o-rama was really slick lol.

 

[Devs3cups]

Also, someone else mentioned it, but that goal was absolutely Patrick Kane-esqe.
