I didn’t even notice what that was until you blew it up lol. Not sure if the eyes are just aging faster than the rest of me or if that’s my far sightedness with astigmatism!
Marty’s mask dude looked like he was wearing a cape when I saw him on the telecast after one of the goals, but that’s clearly either a Devils flag or maybe a Canadian flag? Hard to see. I’m sure someone else will have no problem being able to decipher what that is.

There’s actually a better shot of him if I can fire up the replay on ESPN+. I can’t remember if he was shown after the Bratt goal or the Holtz goal, but it was one of them.

This would be a pretty big victory or even just a point. Especially with how hot we’ve been lately it seems everyone else has also been collecting points, even if not at the rate we’ve been.
Not trying to look too far ahead but after the next two games which are pretty tough, we have some pretty winnable games through the end of the month, with both Edmonton and Boston again outside of those.

Really want to see Meier-McLeod-Holtz today. Put Mercer on 4th line
And swap Haula Mercer if lines need to be juggled during the game. Our strength should be overwhelming the opponent with 4 strong lines
I think after McLeod playing up the lineup and spreading his wings in terms of trying to create offense (and sometimes getting in trouble doing so) Ruff is trying to get McLeod back to playing more of a defensive grinder game.
Surprisingly Holtz has come a long way in that dept, but still, Ruff is not going to deploy Holtz in the heavy defensive situations that he wants to deploy McLeod in.

I think this is more about finding a line timo can thrive on. Still has lots of offensive potential, but just more of a north south line then you’ll get with Jack or Nico/bratt…
this lineup doesn’t really have a shutdown line, outside of Nico shutting down whoever he plays against.

I don't mind McLeod trying for offense. He is suitable for 3C and I'd rather see if Mercer/Lazar can hold down 4C. On their wing, Smith. I'd rather Smith than Bastian on the 4th line.

The powerplay is 1 for 7 on this trip with 1 shorthanded goal given up against. So it's basically a +/-0 in 3 games. You figure it's gotta get a goal today or 2 if it continues to be the best in the NHL. That means they need to draw some penalties. The Devils actually didn't take 2
A penalty at all yesterday which is good to see. If they can play like they did in the 2nd and 3rd than it should be a good one. Can't have another 1st period slow start , Draisaitl and MDavid are hot again. 4th game in 6 days for us , a win would be huge.
Hopefully we role the same lineup with Schmid in goal.

But what teams have a defensive line as good as Nico's?
Then to back it up with a McLeod 4th line, that might not get tough competition, but will get a ton of d-zone and other situation duties.
I debated using him, but the other guys hands were too rich not to play with. Let me see what we can do with ol’ ugly sweater dude.
There is a push pull to this.
I bet Ruff and Fitz love seeing McLeod expand his game, but when he starts making mistakes because he is leaning offensively then that takes away from the core of what he is as a player.
So I think Ruff let out some rope on McLeod for a bit, and is now reigning him in again. I don't see it as a bad thing.
I wonder if that one Oiler fan on HF still thinks there's to many Jespers on this team even though Boqvist is gone.

Says he was online last today, but he hasn't posted since the Avs GDT over a month ago. He's only made a few posts this season.

Tough draw on a weekend back to back but win the special teams battle and they can take this.

The world of Devils bootleg merch is weird.

It's a feel good family film.
McLeod stepping up his game this year has made this kinda complicated. Honestly I think Ruff needs to start thinking about splitting up Hughes and Toffoli. I think Toffoli can play basically anywhere in the top-9, but Mercer has really struggled and I think he's holding the third line back.
But the only way to put McLeod back on the third line is if Nosek comes back or if Haula goes to the 4th line, and I'm not sure which of those are less likely.
