Today was a pretty shitty day for me but the Devils won.
All’s well that ends well, right?
Devils played very well overall in the 2nd and 3rd. Held Calgary to 25 shots for the game.
The D in that 3rd was really good and held Calgary to just 7 shots. They need to do that pretty much any time they get a lead. It was great because they did not just sit back and let Calgary play in the Devils zone in the 3rd. They played smart, but also generated chances.
It was really crucial to hold down Calgary’s chances. Vanacek can play well and regain confidence in starts where he faces 25 shots or less. The Devils did that a lot last year, and that has the be the formula going forward this year too if they want the goalie tandem to return to league average performances.
There was a decade or so where a solid playoff team like idk saint louis would come to Newark tired, not play great, but eke out a W with experience and talent
The devils are starting to be that annoying team let’s go
Blake Coleman scoring for the Devils in 2023 was not something I thought I’d see.
Shoutout to the linesmen who actually waived icing when the defensemen weren’t skating, as they’re supposed to every game. One of my biggest hockey pet peeves, actually called correctly for once. Thank you.
Shoutout to Colin Miller. He’s come in as a 6th/7th D, but he’s performing well. When everyone is fit, he’s definitely in the roster for me. Luke and Nemo looking good as well, really think we’ve hit the jackpot with both of them.
It seems like they simplified the defensive game over these last few games. They’re just getting it out before things get crazy.
Gettin’ saves, gettin’ wins!
Well…the Devils have now moved into 3rd place in the Metro, at least for the next few hours.
So…cheer for the Islanders and Hurricanes to lose tonight.
Nice to see us back in a playoff spot.
Good win. Back in a playoff spot. Vitek did well today and the team was overall better than last game. Gotta give Vitek that confidence booster. If we can sweep the road trip with a win against the Oilers tomorrow, that’d be amazing.
Goal 3 officially credited to Holtz now.
I left a few negative comments so I need to say something positive as Nico was great and V got a quality start. So I’ll say….
Good. We win.
Really I guess we should be grateful it’s going as well as it is, even though things aren’t exactly perfect. The results are there might as well be happy ab it.
Watching this Rangers v Caps game.
My DNA doesn’t allow me to root for the Rangers no matter how much it helps the Devils.
Good to see the team maturing a little, looking comfortable winning a lower scoring game and not just playing beer league hockey trying to out score everyone. Still a little careless with the puck at times but overall much better structure. Vitek was good, but needs to save the Kadri goal. Made a lot of good saves and controlled the rebounds so it was less chaotic in front of him.
Nico Hischier.
And suddenly we’re one win from second in the Metro 😀
Hey guys. We didn’t take a stupid third period penalty. So that’s something!
THEY DON’T ASK HOW, THEY ASK HOW MANY!
I’m glad they got a back to back against another hot team tomorrow. Prove their mettle, win the special teams battle and they’ll take the oilers
Horrific first 20. Excellent last 40. So that’s 2/3rds of a really good game. LFG.
Hey guys, you smell that?
I smell a heater
Wonder if Nemec was the missing piece. He’s so sound defensively and has some offensive prowess as well. Hard to believe he’s only 19.
Meier for Yegor and a pick!
Rooting for all the west coast teams tonight ✌🏻
The Rangers are absolutely useless.
Now just for some consistent goalie play please.
Seriously is there another team with a roster this young and yet with so much potential already? Now to figure out a way to limit getting these silly goals against us and the next decade or so might be interesting…..
Anyone know where I can rewatch the game beyond just the condensed recap
