Post-Game Talk: We did it, we won! Devs 5 Rags 2

[Billdo]

Zacha was a stud, as usual.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Kakko looked painfully ordinary...also surprisingly slow.

Miller called his skating out tonight.

 

[Alex NJD]

Rags are awful. Just awful. Kakko was invisible.

I recall two separate instances in which he lost the puck to Mueller and Rooney. borderline NHLers

 

[MadDevil]

The first of 76 straight wins...

 

[NjDevsRR]

THEY F*CKING GOT ME BOYS I HIP HOPPED AND HOORAYED! F*CK THE RANGERS! WOOOOOOO

LOLOLOLOLOL you’ve come full circle.

THEY F*CKING GOT ME BOYS I HIP HOPPED AND HOORAYED! F*CK THE RANGERS! WOOOOOOO

Looks like they really did use Hip Hop Hooray for the Victory song.

They should've SAID SO instead of saying what the GOAL SONG would be.

Mueller is a stud defensively

 

[Auto Pilot]

Big Mack looked amazing , Hughes finally got a point also looked good outside of the blown coverage leading to the first goal, Subban got a goal. PP still has some major issues. Hynes is still clueless, Kowalskys PP needs to not be a thing aka a new PP coach, the PK looked better.
They need to tighten up defensively and we gotta hope Butcher isn’t out or that’s a serious knock to the defense. I want Boqvist in or back in Sweden.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Very happy the rags suck, because I still don't think that effort beats many teams in this league.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Stars of the night IMO:

Blackwood
Subban
Tennyson
Rooney
Zacha

 

[vtdevils2k]

Rags are awful. Just awful. Kakko was invisible.

It's early, but that's why you take the dynamic, elite skating center over the winger. Barely noticed Kakko...he's very slow

 

[Richer's Ghost]

 

[haak84]

Lias Andersson is the bust we feared Zacha would be.

 

[Alex NJD]

Kovalchuk was pretty bad at first too.

Then Lemaire got a hold of him.

From no defense to near elite PKer. What happened with Kovy was really something

 

[Bleedred]

Good win vs a bad team at home. Now keep it going

Another BAD team at home on Saturday.

Vancouver is TRASH (and badly run) despite what the media wants to tell me about them being a surprise team of the year.

 

[Oneiro]

For all the talk about Hughes trying the same shit and playing an immature game, I thought Kakko was very one note tonight. Power move to the net, no one will figure that one out soon...

Glad they played a heavy game all night. Wasn't a fan of Rooney last year but I also think he's being doing a good job, playing a sharp game.

 

[VoidCreature]

I don't think I've ever seen a hockey player be such a defensive black hole as Gusev. He's like the anti-Pandolfo.

He flashed a lot of skill on his goal.

He'll have a huge impact if he ever figures his own end out on the small ice.

 

[Balance]

Gusev's no look goal was sick

This team is too talented offensively to lose games. If they can just tighten up defensively they are a playoff team.

 

[ViD]

I don't think I've ever seen a hockey player be such a defensive black hole as Gusev. He's like the anti-Pandolfo.

He’s all skill, no defense attached

 

[BahlDeep]

Future Selke Nomine with that one TKA

 

[Dialamo]

Rooney just earned a permanent roster spot tonight!

 

[Bologna 1]

Not for nothing, but Gusev again is a guy you take the good with the bad. Because it seems all he needs is one good look to bury and thus have a big impact on a game at critical points. Hopefully his game can round out a bit as he gets more experience in the league.

 

[ViD]

He flashed a lot of skill on his goal.

He'll have a huge impact if he ever figures his own end out on the small ice.

Needs skilled line mates too

 

[jkrdevil]

Blackwood was good tonight. Good to see

 

[Alex NJD]

Lias Andersson is the bust we feared Zacha would be.

I still can't get over that pick. I thought it was an awful pick on draft night (was high on Mittlestadt). It looks worse now

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Wasn't there a poster giving shit to severson for trying to end the game with an empty net goal and how hard it is to score from that far out...well subban did it quite easily
