Post-Game Talk: Devils beat Rangers 5-2!

[TheUnseenHand]

So, I was thinking about last night, and I think my favorite moment happened in the first 30 seconds or so of the game.

McLeod takes the opening draw against Zibanejad and promptly puts him on his ass and wins the draw (iirc he won the draw), then shortly thereafter lights Zib up on the wall and fights Kreider. It just set the tone for the whole night. This team isn't just much, much better coached. They also grew a pair. They don't get pushed around. It's been a long time since that's been the case.

That was good to see and a necessary evil. The real test will be if they can stand up to WAS and Wilson and Chara and company.

If a guy like Bastian can take Wilson out for 5 minutes then great. Chara? Keep the old man on the ice for as long as possible.

See, I just read the album cover and now I want their version of Richard Corey as the goal song, because good god almighty that poem is dark.

It's the same one as last season :

Howl by Gaslight Anthem.

I loved that opening minute by Mikey. Nice clean hit then answered the bell with that waste of money Kreider.

Corey wrote this McLeod v Kreider:

McLeod hit Zibanejad on the first shift, and the Rangers star fell awkwardly into the boards between the teams’ benches. Chris Kreider must have said something to McLeod, because he popped to his feet and immediately started throwing punches. When both players exited the box after serving five minutes, Kreider had a long chat with the closest official. He may have felt like McLeod jumped him, which is usually the opposite reaction when there’s a big hit like that.

I enjoy the idea that Kreider just wanted give Mikey a stern talking-to after that hit, to show that he cared, and McLeod took that as a challenge and immediately started punching him. I haven’t rewatched the fight though, in part because I like this version now.

What was Kreider going to tell him? “Look Mike we suck this year and the locker room is fractured and none of the vets are feeling it. Just play it cool with us and we’ll lay down like dogs in the third.”
