EdgeControl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It should be a rule that fowards can't make contact with a goalie in the crease.. guy just backed into our goalie.. crack his ankle next time Billy smith style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Love the early games. Got to watch this with my son (he is still only 20 months , but he likes to clap and point) . Zacha could have not scored today and I still would have been impressed. He is working very hard in all situations and not making stupid plays. He was also making his PP unit tick as well. Also I really, really don't want to get too excited about BigMac , but he looks so assured out there. Also he seems like a nice guy. Level headed and aware of what he has to do going forward. Also that slapper from Greene at the end was Rolstonesque, love it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Leaving my first in person game of the year. One word...Zacha!!!! ...oh wait, two... Blackwood! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Love what we are seeing out of Blackwood. The Devils needed a big solid goalie who is technically sound. Trusting that your goalie can make a save helps everyone and they just didn't have that with KK and Cory. Hopefully Mac can keep this up for a bit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 RECAP PROS Zacha once again was a beast. For all the criticism he gets, he's probably equally as impactful defensively as Barzal is offensively. Andy Greene has really been good all year, and today was no exception. I haven't seen a player get more undeserved hate than Greene has this year. Even Lovejoy's hate wasn't nearly as unwarranted as Greene's hate this year. Blackwood The GI call was correct. Williams had no business being in the crease, and the contact he made was enough contact to get that goal waved off. CONS Nothing major except for the two times Aho got free. Also a couple of the penalties were unnecessary. GOALIE AND DEFENSE Obviously they were excellent today. 5 ON 5 POSSESSION CF: 41 to 47 FF: 32 to 36 SF: 19 to 30 SCF: 15 to 14 HDCF: 7 to 8 5 ON 5 SVA POSSESSION CF: 40.47 to 47.32 FF: 31.4 to 36.33 SF: 18.69 to 30.32 SCF: 14.48 to 14.41 HDCF: 6.66 to 8.28 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Zacha gets a ton of undeserved hate. Last game, he was arguably the best player and there were a lot of negative comments. Greene is an easy scapegoat due to being an underperforming captain, but he has also had his fair share of bad plays, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Damn...what else is there to say when you get a goal (and an ASSIST?!) from Zacha, a goal from Greene, and a kid goalie who actually seems to have a little something going on? Some embrace the tank, but I'd like to see some fight to try to hang around for a while. LGMFD!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
