GDT: Devils @ Canucks - 10:30 PM - MSG

When I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I hope to see good news.

Markstrom is really a great presence. I like how he just mentioned he had a slump game in Detroit. He is not afraid to take accountability.

He's the Anti-Vitek.

Nico is EN FUEGO.

ahh.. the things old age brings.

I'm not sure how great Dillon is at this point in his career. He's up there.

But he seems to kill someone every night.

Would much rather him than Smith. But he’s also quite a bit more expensive than Smith.

Kovy jumps from 8th to 3rd in defensive rating after tonight. Siegs stays at the top. Siegs jumps from 9th to 6th in net rating and Kovy jumps into the top 10 to be tied for 6th with Siegs and Fox lol. God I love having a reliable shutdown pair.

I really miss that 4th round pick…

For real though. What was Montreal thinking? Funny how we all had Kovy penciled in as our #7 but now he’s playing like a 2 or 3. Absolutely shutting things down with Siegs. Hard to generate anything against those two right now

3rd pair Dillon-Dougie was a success tonight. Both played less than 13 minutes at 5v5 compared to 17:30 for Luke-Pesce, 16:30 for Siegs, and 15:40 for Kovy. Dillon-Dougie won their minutes 3-0

Dillon will be just fine if they can keep him in that role and he keeps occasionally doing psycho shit

They apparently don't want anyone playing defense on that team lol. They've been sooooooo bad defensively. Also a really interesting thing with that pair is that they're doing the inverse of what we did defensively last year as a team. They're doing a good job at limiting quantity but an incredible job at limiting quality. On the other hand last years team was great at limiting quantity but did not do a good job of limiting quality

I absolutely don't understand this trade one bit from the Habs perspective in hindsight.

Palat led the team with 5 sog's tonight. Scored the goal obviously as well. On ice numbers for that line were excellent.

Having Palat find his game on that line, not only gets him going but it allows Keefe to slide others down the lineup.

Theoretically that line makes sense with Palat providing the dirty work play for Hughes and Bratt, but it's good to see it actually come together.

It's actually a line combination I've been pushing since the preseason

My guess is he didn't look this good last year.

We know Sieg's didn't.

I firmly believe Nico hated Ruff and is now spreading his wings since he is free of him

 

[Skala24]

4th game for Nemec as healthy scratch - proper way to develop young player.
He should be send to AHL a week ago.

Pull on the reins there big boi, he has been struggling mightily

 

[Guttersniped]

Not sure why they even need Toronto when they got Nico setting them straight.

 

[NJ07102]

That was the best and most complete game they played since that shutout at the Isles a couple of seasons ago. Total domination. Awesome from start to finish against a pretty good opponent. And good to see Palat playing well. That would be so important if he could continue to play that way.
