i honestly don’t know what other teams can do against this. there’s multiple devils swarming every loose puck, and our speed is unmatched. the sens can’t even get set up.

Calgary's strategy of just ramping the physicality up to 11 seems like the most effective strategy, but TBH not a lot of teams can play that way.

Plus it didn't work for Calgary in the end.

Yea I was just thinking about that too, how frustrating it must be to play against us. No space or time to do anything.

Hard to keep that energy up for 60, and eventually we’ll get looks anyway.

It’s the best strategy, but hardly a free win

I never said the 2021-2022 Devils were good. I'm just saying goaltending torpedoed them into being a lot worse than they were. Obviously the goals for had to increase for this team but that wasn't the main issue with this roster.
I don't think so. I think goaltending was not good and their play made it worse.

You can't play wide open up tempo hockey and be below average in Goals. To be up tempo you have to give up more... it's inevitable. So you have defensively unaware young forwards playing a go-go style with a platoon of banged up, bad or inexperienced goaltenders that literally never had a goal cushion and you have a recipe for disaster.

I don't see that as a goaltending issues

Mercer is such a smart player. Wonder what the xGF is tonight, because I think there might have been some crazy good lucks from McLeod, Hamilton and Hughes today without a goal.

Also, the puck loves to be on the benches today.
Plays like a 10 year vet...We stole Mercer great pick by Fitz
