'7' Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Red Wings really are historically bad. I mean nowadays in the NHL...it's hard to be this level of bad. Not winning 20 games is hard to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 At least that 3rd period was fun. 4 goals in like 4 minutes. Fun to get a home win at least 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonginator11 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I was at the game tonight. Quiet crowd for the first two periods and rightly so. So the first two periods my hat was facing forwards. Then I decided to put it backwards right before the 3rd period. And poof! 4 goals in 4 minutes!😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup he’s killing it. He’s got basically the same scoring stats as Wayne Simmonds. A lot to be excited about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, he now has the same scoring stats as Hall did as a Devil... ...just took him 22 more games than Hall to get there. 7 points in Zacha’s last 7 games, but we’ve seen these surges before. Did notch his 100th and 101st career points tonight. But yeah, I have a hard time getting too excited about yet another tease. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I patented the phrase “flashes of adequacy” to describe when Pavel plays well. 7 points in 7 games is great. 6 goals in 55 games, not so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake me when Zacha has one of these stretches when it isn't second-half twenty points out junktime.

Nicomo Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yeah, it’s really hard to get excited about single digit goals and 25-30 points out of a 4th year player. It’s nice he doesn’t look totally awful, but the fact that he’s tied for 5th in scoring is more an indictment of the team, than it is anything impressive by him. It’s entirely possible he could still break out at some point but I sure as hell wouldn’t bet on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Tinfoil hat -- Ownership is pulling strings to force playing Domingue for tanking reasons. Tinfoil hat 2-- They're worried Blackwood might still be dealing with concussion-like issue and would rather not force a heavy schedule on him since the season is lost.

Since, ya know, he hasn’t played much when it counts either. This team is dog sh!t for the second calendar year in a row. I don’t really agree with he only does it when there’s no pressure. That’s more of a goalie thing. Like Cory. Points are points in hockey. It’s not like garbage time in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take DET getting really hot down the stretch, and both LA and OTT totally imploding for the Wings to not finish in last. I mean they can't get any better odds than 18.5 percent no matter how bad they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If you don’t hold the fact that he was the 6th overall pick in a deep draft over his head, Zacha is turning into a pretty good two way 30-45 point player, which you need. It’s just maddening because he does show flashes of brilliance and you want so much more. You also don’t particularly want to spend a 6th overall pick on a poor mans Zubrus. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that will always be held over his head, which is a shame because he had no control over who picked him where. If he was picked 24th or something I think most would be fine with his development. I mean jeez he's playing with Wood and Simmonds and chipping in a few points. I'm also not entirely sure Barzal or Rantanen would have developed the same way that they did if their rookie years were with the 2016 Devils. Yes I do still think they'd turn out better than Zacha regardless though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
