Starting fast and generating lots of shots is how we played last year. Our slump, however, has allowed the management to identify the biggest deficiencies with the team going forward. Namely, goaltending, defense and physical play. Those issues still need to be addressed if the Devils want to be a serious, cup contending team.
I was really hoping they’d keep the Sabres shot total in the single digits because I don’t recall witnessing that before. Especially with the defensive woes this season, that would’ve been cool to see.
Devils win and Mrs Doge and Baby Doge are doing great! Thanks everyone for your well wishes in the post game thread!
Nice of us to wake up. Now we have a hole to climb out of. So let’s start climbing
Great win but they have to keep the momentum going next week with 2 more very winnable games
Personal MVP? Our talisman and captain, Nico. What a return. Hoping we can get Timo back soon and get back to Devils hockey again.
I need the boys to keep this up because I talked a whole lot of shit this offseason.
Finally, a proper slutfest
Next up are two divisional games and then the worst team in the league on December 1. It is essential to win those three.
Pretty stoked on the physicality of our game. Loved Lukes big hit. I dig like smith on the 4th line. His positioning was solid. Throwing that little prick to the ground and giving him some words was cool.
It’s been more than 4 hours but I ain’t calling a doctor
As great as last night was for the team let’s see if they can build off it. Last night was just a perfect storm of Nico coming back and devils mad at sabres for the way they took runs at them last time . So we shall see
I get the Nico love after coming back last night but Bratt was easily the best player on the ice
for anyone who was at either or both games this weekend, how were the concession stands? was it an improvement?
I was at t he game with my family for our annual Thanksgiving Devils outing. Glad they put on a show. Aside from the Captain’s triumphant return, Holtz was THE MAN last night. Getting the scoring going, generating a lot of shots and quality chances, even finishing his checks. You can tell he’s much more comfortable playing at the NHL. He’s already on pace for 25 goals and is still just coming into his game. Think we have one hell of a player like Fitz has been telling us all along.
Starting to fall in love with Toffoli as a player, the way he looks confused even after scoring such a clean goal gives me butterflies. His mostly emotionless demeanor along with intense play style and beauty of a shot make him feel like an anime character to me – like gara from naruto, but sweet and not evil.
