It's as if they were all channeling Dale Hunter.

Isn't it best to load up the first unit, which gets most of the ice time?

Boqvist can skate and has some slick moves. Glad the Devils paid for Ondrej Palat.

Samsonov was better, that's for sure.

It bears watching, that's for sure.

He’s a good play by play man.

To be honest, the ice seemed great from my living room sofa. It didn’t appear to be soft at all. I didn’t hear any comments from our players about it either way. That’s a nice little arena.

He’s going to have to wait for an injury, it seems.

For sure. That whole line was effective again. Mercer and Tatar were good.

If and when (I shouldn’t even say if) Hughes-Bratt-Meier starts clicking, we are going to be hard to deal with. We kinda already are hard to deal with. Palat was our best forward tonight, I thought, playing on the third line.

It really would not be a good result.

Is the ice surface bigger at this arena than the usual NHL surface? Seems like there's lots of room to skate out there.

I imagine Sharangovich will be scratched? We'll see.

I just found "Lazar-level" to be funny. I acknowledge a laugh-out-loud inducing comment. Like someone mentioned, I could see Wood sitting for Lazar because Wood can be a train wreck on the ice at times.

Lazar sounds like Jay Pandolfo except without Jay's scoring ability.

Welcome aboard, Curtis, LMAO.

I don't think even he can spin that turnover-fest by the Rangers. Maybe he'll say the Rangers were shorthanded on defense?

I find this to be the case as well.

I have no problem with Sam Rosen and Micheletti, especially Sam. I think he's a pro. Micheletti .... I can take him or leave him. I like the Islanders booth. Ask me about the Bruins play by play guy, Jack Edwards. He's nuttier than a fruitcake.

I believe this is the right thread for Tom Wilson's wedding photos. https://www.washingtonian.com/2023/03/01/the-caps-tom-wilson-and-pro-beach-volleyball-player-taylor-pischke-married-at-the-salamander/

I was gonna say Esa Tikkanen but he actually played a few games here.

If we could keep him here for two more seasons for $7M total, that would be very good. Given a choice between paying Tatar or Graves (if that's a choice), I would pay Tatar and both guys have been important contributors. Speaking of Graves, do you think the Devils will bring back one of Severson or Graves? Or will both be elsewhere with the Devils making room for Luke Hughes and Nemec?

Yes, I liked the reseeding. 1 through 8 was great. You want teams to be able to face their rival in a conference final.

I was wondering if I've been saying his last name wrong!

Yeah that appears to be true. Let's see what happens after he goes to NYC.
