His physicality has been great but outside of that woof and I hate to have to say that. Some bad passes a sh!t ton of penalties that have to stop immediately.. we need him to start putting pucks in nets or I’m nervous about giving him the kind of money and term he’s going to get. He just looks lost out there half the time I think he's still figuring it out here...he also hasn't been given much of a chance to stick with a set group of linemates. But yeah, the only time I've really noticed him in these four games is when he's making a trip to the box. I know he' managed 15 SOG but I don't recall many (if any) having me saying "Timo got robbed on that one!" I'm not really worried about him long-term...it will be interesting to see what both he and Bratt ask for this offseason. Neither one is screaming "Pay him more than Jack!" to me at this point.

He just looks lost out there half the time Jack is really the only guy that looks like he has all the cylinders firing so I am not sure I can point at Timo and just be like "wtf is his problem". The entire offense, save Jack and Haula, has been anemic in comparison to the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire offense, save Jack and Haula, has been anemic in comparison to the regular season. On a side note, man are these Rangers reminding me of Henrik's Rangers, in that once again they're not getting a series over with, and it looks like they could potentially squander more terrific playoff goaltending. Since the start of last season's playoffs, Shesterkin's put up a .931 save% (.941 so far this year). His team's record in his games? 12-12. His numbers are ever better over his last 20 playoff games...not one game with a save% under .900 or more than three goals allowed, and an overall save% of .937 and a GAA of 2.04...the Rangers have gone just 11-9 in those games. The Rangers can't possibly ask for much more from him...and heaven forbid if he ever had a bad game or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Devil Dan 56 Posted April 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2023 Side note but how awesome is it that Jack isn’t just a regular season guy but also turns it on in the playoffs?? Some skill guys shrink away from physical playoff hockey but Jack is thriving in it. I say it a lot but I cant wait to see what he does in his prime 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckbuster Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Furthermore, just about every team that can’t play with the Devils pace plays the trap against the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 They want it both ways. Devils play a fast paced high offense game but simultaneously play the trap lol. Why do they think the Devils have looked so off this series? The Rags are doing well at shutting down the Devils high paced transition game by.... Wait for it...clogging up the neutral zone haha. If any team is guilty of slowing the game down it's the Rags, no hate towards them for doing what they gotta do but F off for trying to blame NJ every time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just looks lost out there half the time He can be a lot better, but he's drawing penalties as well as taking them. He's also wearing the villain hat quite well as far as the Rangers and their fans are concerned, ala Claude Lemieux. Now let's get some clutch goals to go along with that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the 1999 Game 7 loss to the Penguins in the first round was a very bitter pill to swallow, and the guy who threw his jersey on the ice after the game felt the same way. Three years in a row as a #1 seed, and one playoff series win to show for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised at the Rangers fans who said their team didn't put forth a good effort yesterday. That team was checking as tightly as the Devils were, but their players wore down in the third period, especially after Siegenthaler's goal. It was hard for the Devils to generate anything out there.

I just know what I saw .... they checked the Devils tight. There wasn't a lot of room to make plays. Offensively, they didn't adjust to what the Devils were doing, though, and that may have been what Gallant was upset about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv4Life Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 The 1st two games we tried to play "playoff hockey", match their grit and it didn't work. Next 2 while there were issues and we're not scoring as much as I'd like, there were elements of the 52-win Devils. I guess we should just play our style from here on out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, but to say it was a dull game because it was a low score and the Rangers lost is stupid. It should be expected that the Devils will tighten up after giving up 10 goals in two games. I’ll bet comments like this wouldn’t happen if the result was reversed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
