Loved that win, did exactly what they should've done the multiple other bottom feeders they played this year. For some reason, they just look a lot more composed on the road this year. Maybe we need to do the Lou strategy of putting these guys in hotels near Prudential Center for home games. :laugh: Would be awesome to get 4/4 this weekend but I expect the Bruins to rough up Vitek tomorrow, also what are we literally doing with Alex Holtz lol



Explains what I do with alcohol when I see him on the ice, so it's fitting

His saves on the Batherson and Tkachuk breakaways (think it was the early 2d period?) when either shooter could have tied the game 2 -2 were game changing. Then Mercer makes that play to put us up 2 and it’s over.

The game was just what the Dr. ordered. Be good to get a point tomorrow but beat Washington finally after that and hang in a playoff spot.
What a last game by Mercer before we trade him away for Gibson.

Watching the replay on the Smith goal (feels weird to even be typing that), what stands out to me most is the awareness and passing accuracy that Nico showed to get him that puck in stride.

Not easy to pick up a rebounding puck after a block, realize the penalty is ending and a breakaway is possible, and thread the pass through a defender, all at the end of a PK shift. Outstanding heads up play from the Captain.
Not surprised by Nico as he's a very good passer to begin with.

In fact, anything he does, I'm not surprised 'cause he's THAT. DAMN. GOOD.

More impressed by seeing Bratt blocking that shot (and I held my breath when he did so) and paying the price.

He's been getting more minutes at PK, I noticed.

His presence on the PK certainly gives the Devils a dangerous short-handed counterattack should he get the puck on his stick.

New Jersey, Exit 16E
If I had to bet on it I imagine the 2/3 Metro and 2 WC spots end up some combo of us, Canes, Isles, Flyers

This feels like a safe bet, but I do wonder about Tampa.

Don't think Pitt or Washington have the horses, same for the Wings.

If Fitz makes a move and shores up one or two of our weaknesses we should be more then fine.

I swear that game where we came back and we beat them with like 20 seconds left in regulation was nothing more than ''Well, we can't lose every game in OT'' luck on their part.
16 Row wins

Islanders and Philly both have those it’s not like they are even making it to the shootout just conceding defeat in overtime lol
