GDT: Blackhawks @ Devils - Die Hard Edition - 1:00 PM-MSG-NHLN

[Emperoreddy]

Word process is being tossed around a lot.

Seems that is what Keefe's big message is. Keep trusting the process of playing the fight way and they will find ways

It's the buy-in from the young forwards that makes it so sexy. Putting Jack on PK and getting him to like playing defense, leaning into Bratts already improving defensive play, getting all players to get sticks in lanes and be in position... And of course rebuilding and stabilizing the D corps.

The scoring and beautiful plays are nice but I'm even happier watching Kovacevic pesce and Siegs block shots.

When was the last time we blocked shots like this? Stevens and Odelein? Volchenkov?

Volchenkov was such an underrated Devil.

We're still owed a post game report

I honestly think something was said in the locker room. I remember thinking that on the Nico 3-1 goal.

And I normally don't buy into some weird pep talk or speech setting off a rally after the half/intermission.

The Toronto game pisses me off more than the Avs one. The Avs one to me is still kind of funny because of the whole shutout thing and them completely disappearing if they go down big for stretches.

I was still thinking about the Toronto game this morning lmao. Damn that one pissed me off. Hadn't been pissed in a game like that in a while. Not like disappointed, that one legit made me angry.

Frustrating first 2 periods but that 3rd was glorious. Glad to see the Nico line get going with a goal a piece. The shift leading to the Hughes goal had me smiling from ear to ear. Bratt with the violent hit on the forecheck was pure hockey porn for me.

What’s noticeable is just how brutal our team is to play against for the opposition right now. Gaps are always tight and the forwards back check hard. Our D is all monsters with great sticks and there’s no free ice in front of the net.

I'm still a bit sick over that when I throw a Markstrom tantrum.

We did get a point in that game though, so it's not like we lost in regulation.

The Colorado game was the only one on the homestand where we didn't look good. I think the Colorado game was a well deserved shutout loss.

But we were pretty good the rest of the games. I actually thought today was our second weakest on the homestand. We were pretty dominant in the other 4 non-shutout games.

Nah, I still think he deserved that tongue lashing after the Leafs game. They did everything you could ask for a goalie to win that and then that shit went in. You could blame the powerplay but expecting a 35% PP all year is absurdity. That was a game Markstrom should've won with his eyes closed

 

[Hisch13r]

Good to see them break through because all the talk about getting goalie'd by a goalie in their debut was dumb. Literally every fanbase thinks they get killed by guys in their first games and backup goalies.

I need another win where we get dominated but win to get over that one. We've had quite a few games where we were better and lose but Edmonton's the only one I can think of where we were worse and won

How the heck have the Devils played SIIIIX more games than the Lightning?

They got too loosey goosey in that 2nd but outside of that it was the usual smothering

Almost ed on that 2-1 goal sequence

The little Bratt fist pump when Jack scored is the most emotion he's shown after a goal I've seen lmao, love that guy
