Hopefully Nico and the boys are close... I'll take 2-1-1 especially with what we've seen from they young guys. They're really carrying right now. The vets need to come through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devs3cups Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 2 good chances by Goose in the 3rd. That'll surely help his confidence. You get the feeling that once he gets one, they'll keep on coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Gotta love Ty Smith's poise. He's got no panic out there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs3cups Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Saw some good things from the young guys. Smith had a good game. Hughes had some flashes and nice plays, but you could see the Isles were all over him, they got the memo lol. The 4th line was also great. Still excited for the next one.

Palms is certainly missing Nico, and Gusev is missing Bratt. Not excusing either one’s poor play, they’ve been terrible, but we’ll know more when they get their guys back.

Isles have a vet defence core and great coaching. Rags have neither. I'm not surprised it was harder/not possible for Jack to carry the offense like he did against the Rags.

Ruff seems to have something so far though, that's encouraging. A team needs some talent as well. Disappointing that Blackwood is on IR.

Next I'm not worried about our talent nor our coaching tbh. I like Ruff so far, and the young guys are playing good. With that said, a few of our core pieces will do wonders for this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have something in Ty. I shouldn’t get too overhyped just yet, as I thought the same thing after Butcher’s rookie season, but it’s not just compiling points like Butcher did (during Hall’s MVP year). Ty actually looks the part. He’s silky smooth, makes great first passes, has a knack for getting his shot through, and the game doesn’t seem too fast for him. Very impressed so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play without the puck and transition game are way better imo. He's also more poised, his skating is smoother and better overall. I see why you're getting caught up in your Butcher hype, but I think the difference is obvious in their overall play. Butcher was almost 23 when he made his NHL debut also, Smith is 20.

That’s usually hard to overcome for a hockey player lol still I’d rather see him in there over Tennyson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The only issue with Ty is his size. He got pushed around a bit tonight, and twice was unable to hold the point because he has no reach. Aside from that, I’m really encouraged. I think he’s a way better version of Butcher and that’s why Will is still watching hockey instead of playing hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 What i absolutely cannot understand is that whenever i play NHL21... im scoring at least 2 goals a game with Johnsson... yet... he's not doing anything in real life. What is he becoming so useless suddenly? Makes no sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread that originally, its the close contacts that all came back negative, which is good news as well but it makes it sound like Mac did test positive so not sure overall here. Blah.
