Missed the game

What a W

This one was something special.

Cant be much more happy and proud of the team the last 2 games. In hindsight the injuries have made it so they need to outwork the opponent every shift. Hopefully they can build from that once the skill guys come back.

Oh and goaltending helps too but I dont know if Daws is the solution. He's good but do we want to run him to the ground by playing him too much cause we desperately need points? Then were gonna be back to square one. We need a tandem and if were gonna keep Akira in Utica, I dont think Vitek is the answer.

Wasn't able to watch, but doing some stat watching, did we goalie the other team?!?!?!

 

[Mgd31]

Gutsy ass win, I can’t believe it. Daws was amazing. Nemec is awesome and Marino with a vintage last year type performance. Only 3 less losses than the Rangers btw.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

The team won tonight because daws goalied the f*** out of Florida and Bob sucked.

Ok. We will take it because we are so injured right now.

The Devils didn't play that badly. The powerplay was bad but they kept alot of Panthers shots outside the slot and cleaned up rebounds pretty well for the most part.

Gotta remember that Florida was on a 9 game heater...this is the Devils biggest win of the season so far.

team took a beating but daws will make the pain not feel as bad

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

if this result had been with a fully healthy lineup, I’d say it’s a really bad sign. But our bottom six looks like an ECHL top-6 so this win kicks SO much ass!

 

[JK3]

Wowie wow wow great win. Daws was solid.

They need to play like they have the last two. Just work your ass off and don’t rely on dipsey doodle gunslinger bull shit hockey.

 

[longislanddevil]

Daws in beast mode!! It’s so nice to be on the other end of a superior performance from a goalie for a change. Huge win!!!

Does Fitz hold tight on a goalie trade to give the kid some run and see if he could be the answer?

I mean they got absolutely smoked tonight, but they won the goaltending duel. This isn’t a replicable playing style without Daws being lights out.

 

[Oneiro]

The goal right now is to survive until we’re a bit healthier.

This is what it looks like and I don’t know how you can be mad at it.

Absolutely not. You trade for a reliable goalie. Let Nico platoon with whoever you add. One game doesn’t change that.

Get timely goaltending with a healthy lineup both of which the case last year and this team can do something in the playoffs. I dunno if daws is the answer but we need a goalie this season

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I can’t believe how good Nemec already is. I thought the offense would be there but the guy is a rock defensively way sooner than we could’ve hoped.

Cmon they were up 3-0 through almost two. Panthers racked up the shots trailing the entire game.

please let’s never see vitek again

Dude should already be on waivers.

 

[longislanddevil]

Absolutely not. You trade for a reliable goalie. Let Nico platoon with whoever you add. One game doesn’t change that.

Oh, I agree. There needs to be more of a sample size.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Playoff effort from a playoff team.

 

[devilsblood]

Massive win and a real gutsy effort. Need to see this more consistently. LGD!

Please no.

 

[glenwo2]

I love when we win games.

The GDT is so much more bearable.

(at least GDTs I can take part in...*grumble*)

I can’t believe how good Nemec already is. I thought the offense would be there but the guy is a rock defensively way sooner than we could’ve hoped.

He's so calm out there and is usually in the right spots. His defensive plays with his stick and positioning are fantastic. When he gets some man strength he should be a defensive force.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Cmon they were up 3-0 through almost two. Panthers racked up the shots trailing the entire game.

I also don't know if we should really be focused on style with our injuries right now. Just win. Worry about style with a full lineup.
