MB3 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 If you asked me “will the devils win a single 1-0 game this year” I would’ve laughed and said no. Just so many positives here. The negatives are brief so I’ll list them first: Miles Wood is just really not a good hockey player, and he needs to be on the 4th line gooning it up or he’s really useless. Since his injuries he plays a timid game and if that doesn’t change soon, I hope the Devils move on. I’ve beaten the Tatar horse to death enough but he brings nothing to this team. Invisible offensively, noticeably bad defensively, and one of the most brain dead penalties i’ve seen in a long time. Make the bad man go away. Severson is again making it so hard to get behind him. A home grown puck moving RH defenseman who’s made it public numerous times that he wants to stay a Devil, but I really don’t think he’s in their future plans. Shame, because I really do like the player in spite of his mistakes. We are thin as hell at forward, as the Palat injury shows. One injury to one of our big guys and we’re seeing Bastian on the PP, Tatar on the first line and Wood/McLeod seeing more of the ice than they should. Now the positives: Hats off to Fitzgerald for the Marino addition. Are you kidding me with this guy? He is something special to watch. Insanely active stick, smart as hell, fast on his feet. I would love to plant him on Hughes’ line next year, I think he can be the Devon Toews to Luke’s Makar. Siegenthaler is rock fvcking solid. I really love our defense when Luke and Nemec are up. Jack and Jesper are the best players on the ice when they’re out there. Both players can fly, both players are insanely creative. I hope they’re glued together for a while. Nico is developing into the exact type of checking 2nd line center you dream of. we all wish his offense was a little more there, but he made Nate Dog’s life miserable tonight. Credit Zetterlund for not looking out of place. V2 with a stellar, rock solid game. 5-1 after the bad start. Keep it up fellas! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB3 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Crazy thing with Bratt is that it feels like he’s getting *unlucky*. He’s been robbed so many times and his would-be assists have too. He might just be a superstar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Awesome win. I was so exhausted from the week that I passed out in the second period and missed the rest of it. But I didn’t have shutting out the defending champs on my bingo card. Absolutely fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great game to be at. What was really awesome about it was that it wasn’t like the Devils got wildly outshot and outchanced and were lucky to win…they played as well as a team as could possibly have been expected. Really made things difficult for the Avs for most of the game….as strong of a performance as I’ve seen the Devils play in recent years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 @MB3 I hear your point in being thin without secondary scoring getting going yet. But without Bastian on the PP, the screen doesn’t happen to get us Jack’s goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But without Bastian on the PP, the screen doesn’t happen to get us Jack’s goal. Feel for Nico. He looks like he’s ready to see his offensive numbers go up, but for now he’s stuck with Tatar and Zetterlund. And that’s not to knock Zetterlund, but he’s not a Top 6 forward. Tatar is just useless. We’ll see what the situation is long-term with Palat, but the Devils could explore moving Seves for a forward who brings some offense. As Seves has warts, I’m sure whoever they’d get back would have some too. I know some would like to see Holtz just get thrown into the lineup, but I don’t equate Tatar sucking to “Well just play Holtz regardless.” His time to get a look will come. But Tatard…that guy…he’s just gotta go…he looks the the kind of guy who won’t get another deal once this once expires.

Jerrydevil Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I’ve seen enough good play from Tatar this season where I’m not wishing he was banished. That was a brain-dead penalty yesterday, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Well it’s pretty clear NJDevs has found it’s new whipping boy lol. I’m just glad it’s a stopgap journeyman that will be gone soon, and not one of our 1st round picks, or the starting goalie. I can handle Tomas Tatar being the most frustrating thing about my hockey team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been mostly not good since late in his his last season in Montreal. And yeah at least the guys who seem guaranteed to infuriate (like Tatar and Seves) are on their way out…and at least Seves (if traded) can potentially bring back a useful piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 just to add to what MB stated probablly the best defensive game ive seen out of hamilton brat is just explosive. very dangerous nhl forward sharangovich is a nasty little mother, plays higher than his weight class 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Nicomo alluded to, at least it’s players whose days are numbered anyway, as opposed to guys who are vastly overpaid and locked up long term. All the players who ARE locked up are the one we want to see locked up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course if that means Bratt is the next young cog to be locked up, no one’s complaining one bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Just remembered something else I wanted to post regarding last night's game: The crowd. You guys looked awesome and sounded even better. It was freaking awesome to FINALLY hear a sustained Let's Go Devils chant on TV and it be the loudest thing someone yelled there that didn't involve the Rangers. Winning for sure helps, but that was even before they took the lead. Well done! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one time he was played regularly during a game he scored a goal. Let the kid play and make a mistake or two. Tatar and McLeod are allowed to sh!t all over the ice. All true. Maybe Ruff is feeling the heat and doesn’t want to take any chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s the other part that respects the hell out a team like the Avs and figures that it’s only a matter of time before a guy like Makar breaks his goal-scoring drought, or that the Avs will find some way to eke out a 2-1 OT win. Once we tasted that the Devils were indeed going to finish this off…just nothing but pure primal bliss. Great great fun.

That said, if we get defense like we got last night throughout the season, I’ll be pretty happy. I think Marino played a crazy game, and as a result, it’s being overlooked how good Siegenthaler was as well. Tatar is essentially roster filler. I would like to see someone else take his place, but he’s not killing us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
