NJDevs4978 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Devil Dan 56 said: That overtime the Devils looked like themselves. Also Schmid the job is yours. They waited till like the 59th minute of the 11th hour to do so, I don't even think this game was all that much better than the first two other than the stars actually had something of a pulse (sporadically...Jack and Dougie weren't very good at all apart from their goals) and they didn't allow two Kreider tip-in goals on the power play tonight. Part of me still thinks this was Madden Game #3 2008 2.0, the OT goal on the road that avoids a sweep and little else. They'll have to play a lot better in Game #4 and make this stick for me to believe, especially since they're pretty skittish at home.

Guy is just an absolute gem. You dont need to be local, I don't even have a clue if it's on the am radio anymore, I always just throw it on here on the way home from the games... https://www.nhl.com/devils/team/devils-hockey-network 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seemed like the Rags shooters were thrown off a bit by his size. Chico is a national treasure. He has the enthusiasm of someone 50 years younger than him. He's so great and he's such a homer and fan. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I watch games online via the high seas, if you follow me, and tonight was the first night where I didn't have the option to watch the regional broadcast. I could only watch the national one. Wonder why that happened tonight. By the way, for anyone wondering, the Devils usually have a post game show on youtube after games. Sometimes when watching the ESPN feed I won't get the post game so I go there to get my fix and Chico is on a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there’s still work to be done, as far as truly breaking the defensive hold that the Rangers have had on the Devils to date. But at least we’re seeing SOME signs that they might be able to do it…at the very least, the PK had started to play better. And though Schmid was excellent, at least it wasn’t like he had to stand on his head. It didn’t feel like a purely stolen win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Ottawa Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Jack not good? He was one of our best players. Aside from constant tripping on the ice. That was very odd, seemed a lot of devils were tripping all over, like someone sprayed their skate blades with oil or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Wow, what a night! I need to pace myself more appropriately with the beer intake for the possibility of overtime going forward. Don’t remember much or anything after the game ended and woke up on the couch. At least I didn’t pee myself. That would be a tough superstition to have to recreate Monday and Wednesday. After what I saw last night, I am so excited about the combo of Schmid and VV for at least the next two years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's positionally sound and got in the Rangers heads a little bit thinking they had to be perfect with their shots. He didn't have to flop around to make saves. He's been the better goalie this year. VV has been very good, but I don't think he puts fear in shooters. Whereas, Schmid takes up the whole net and forces the shooter to think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
