Is Jack Hughes back yet? Feels like it’s been weeks since the injury announcement
Canucks are doing it again.
1-0 without Hughes we can trade him now!
(Sarcasm)
Please take your time Hughes. Need you for the cup run!!
Blackwood….. fucking hell what a game.
Why don’t I have a picture of someone wearing the giant hat hat yet?
Great physical presence tonight! Blackwood making a case for the 1B.
This team is so fucking good the me stuck in 2016-17 continues to not believe it
The best Hamilton Version has been unlocked.
Great win against a quality opponent.
there will be NO blackwood slander tolerated moving forward. people were ready to waive this man for nothing. laughable.
Vanecek-Blackwood should be the presidential ticket in 2024
We hoist the Cryptid Cup bby
Dominant game from Blackwood. I can’t give up on him because even though he’s not consistent like that every game, his pure athleticism is elite. He has the talent to be a premier goalie (dear god minus the puck handling skills) in the NHL. He won us that game.
Power play looked fantastic tonight. I said this last game but they rely WAYYYYYYYY too much on Jack. It’s much easier for PKs to shift to Jack’s side if he’s just going to get the puck every time. Need to be focusing on creating looks for everyone on the ice and not just funneling the offense through Jack.
Penalty Kill was elite tonight. Mostly due to Blackwood, but they had some big kills that really turned this game around for us.
Would like to see Jack get fewer looks on the PP to create changes for the rest of the guys out there and make the PP more effective. They absolutely have the talent to score from anywhere.
BMW line was our best line in terms of maintaining zone time. Good to see them clicking and giving the team momentum. Really strong game from all of them.
Some bad turnovers in our own zone, Blackwood bailed tf out of us this game. He was hung out to dry. Bahl needs to be quicker with the puck.
They straight up cut John Hynes out of that commercial lmao
The Devils won, so I think it’s okay to share film of [Eagle](https://twitter.com/SeattleKraken/status/1623864149338980353) celebrating his goal.
I hate that Mac did not get that shutout, but I’ll say it, sometimes I wish Larsson was back with this new, better roster (and no PDB).
And games like that are what makes Blackwood so frustrating. Absolutely dominant. Keep racking up the points!
Dougie with the giant hat hat!
Bratt last game: “I got a small head”
Dougie today: “I got a big head”
Winning games has turned into revealing every player’s head sizes and I’m all for it!
Heater for Jack !!
The Giant Hat Hat makes me so happy.
And I love the boys for doing the entire post game interview with it on.
We got such a good group.
Feels like this was a lot better game defensively tonight. Noticeably less odd man rushes and break aways agaisnt the Devils.
Plenty of blocked shots. Still struggles clearing the zone but that seems like it maybe an all year thing, but at least it wasn’t giving up goals.
Closed my eyes for 5 seconds towards the end of the 1st and suddenly the games over and Dougies on screen with a big hat. Looks like I missed two good periods, can’t wait to catch the replay
I’ve been going back and forth on who my next Devils jersey purchase would be. I have Elias, Hall, and Hischier, kinda wanted a Defensemen, tonight has solidified that.
Douglas is the chosen one.
Defense played their best game in a minute tonight. Blackwood too. Everyone stepped up tonight.
Should trade for Meier tomorrow so he can join us on the road trip
Thank God for that liability Dougie Hamilton
Love to see how happy Vitek was for Mack after the game
Maybe Marino was the source of all our struggles.
I’m just sayin 🤷🏻♂️
Give Jack the 2nd power play when he gets back
Fuck the Rags!
All goals in this game were scored by defensemen. Interesting.
[Just a tweet from tonight, featuring Timo](https://twitter.com/SanJoseSharks/status/1623856501898223618)
There were 6 games tonight where a Western Conference team played an Eastern Conference team. 5 of them were won by the East — the only loss for our playoff competition was the Isles losing to the Canucks. Even Filthadelphia beat the Oilers.
I was just taking a look at the rest of our February schedule keeping in mind that we may be Jack-less for a lot of it, and I actually think this is fairly good month for us to bank lots of points and also the least harmful month for us to not have Jack.
We will be playing the Wild, Columbus, the Blues, the Pens, the Jets, Montreal, the Kings, and Philly.
Montreal and Columbus should be games we should dominate.
I think we have a very high chance of winning against Philly and St. Louis, but not as easy as the previous two. And those should be games that we grab points.
I’d say the Pens, the Kings, and the Wild are the next tier. I think these teams are also very beatable, but may prove to be harder time. But I still feel like we could grab points from these games.
The Jets is a true test game for us.
Looking at all of that, I think we have a really good shot at coming away with at least ten points this month.
*lets keep it rolling, my dudes.*
