Just glad some good opportunities that were missed didn't come back to haunt the Devils. And of course Zacha doesn't score on that chance. 5-2-1 to start the season, I'll take it. Top line is just a blast to watch. Long trip coming up...if the Devils can get seven points out of it, I'll be ok with that. And overall, good job by KK in starting every game and not falling on his face. A pair of shutouts to boot. 2 Well badluck... we got to be honest and agree that we've also been incredibly lucky during that game, Florida got the post like 16 time and many other things went our way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Like I said, at the end of the game. I was saying that more to point out that I don't automatically lump the final minutes of the third period into the "Devils can't close games out" category. Florida hit a couple of posts, Devils had a couple of breakaways and yet another missed prime chance by Almost. Some breaks both ways, but definitely not enough for the Devils that I felt like they were lucky to have won. Tri rightly pointed out the Devils' PK unit...they've been impressive so far. PP1 unit has been quite good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 The luck thing is a stupid argument, as it’s been a factor in every sports game ever played since the dawn of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this most of the time, but there's definitely those exceptions that have you saying "How? Why? HUH?!" But like you posted, luck is often a factor...and hockey will always have those crazy bounces here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both look much more composed and comfortable out there than they did last year. They've also been quite good positionally, from what I've seen. Despite not being the flashiest of players, these are two guys that I've felt would be critical to the Devils' future success, and we are lucky that they've both had a strong start.. This has been a big part of our success so far... damon looks comfort and agressive with the puck on his stick in the Ozone also. Even greene has been competitive so our top two pairing have been nhl quality... consistency will be key 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I hate instant replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s SBNation. SBNation has a fan page for each of the pro teams and it's purposely written in a fan narrative. It's their unique approach to sports journalism. This NYT article explains it, but that's why we have https://www.allaboutthejersey.com/ https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/business/media/07fans.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
