GDT: Devils vs. Flyers - 7:00 PM - MSG+

[DevilDog]

Sign me up for the Rango fan club. If you add his KHL #s he’s got over 50 points in just over 80 games of professional hockey. Keeper!

 

[Whaddagoal]

Had some issues with my PC.

Been using my Laptop lately.

But I did see the game.

And I did see Bahl make his debut and look good doing it.

I also saw Rango prove that he's MONEY.

I saw Pavel prove that he can be clutch.

I also saw Bratt get the easiest goal he'll ever score (but with how the Devils always struggle getting the EN, maybe it wasn't an easy goal).

Great win.

That EN angle wasnt easy lol... I mean it was harder than most ENs

Pavel put a little too much sauce...

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

I hope they let Bahl have a few more games. Might be one of those guys who finds his game at the NHL level faster than the AHL.

I think he's earned a few more. Binghamton plays tomorrow night at home but lost Jacobs and Vukojevic last night.

Leaves:

White
Okhotiuk
Walsh
Groleau
Hellickson

Could call up:

Sissons from Florida
Quenneville from Rapid City

Send down:

Carrick
Bahl
Tennyson (injured)

I'll guess Bahl gets third pair minutes at Barnabas tomorrow night if Jacobs and Vuk both can't go.

 

[The 29th Pick]

/image not showing

good thing, I messed them up

 

[Whaddagoal]

And once again, Merkley shows his surprising passing skills to set up Boqvist.

What do we do with him for next season.... I feel like he shouldnt go back to AHL as to me he has broken that tweener tag. Sweet pass for sure.

Also Smith and Sevs on that 2nd Shara goal..

 

[NJDevs26]

I'm still annoyed that Fitz just refuses to say "Jesper Bratt is part of the core".

has to be gamesmanship with Bratt's agent so his agent can't say "see? you even said yourself he is a core player. NOW PAY MY CLIENT HIS MONEY!!" lol

By the same token would you really put him above Hughes and Nico talentwise or Blackwood and Smith importance-wise?

I don't think he's far off of Nico at all

Honestly, I’m sure he considers Bratt as part of the core, same with Zacha. He just named a few names when he was asked by media. I’m sure he sees Bratt as an important part of the group/core moving forward. I wouldn’t put too much stock into it.

 

[Blackjack]

Could be playing his way to Seattle unless we're gonna protect him over McLeod.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Yeah.... McLeod seems like he could stay awhile now he adopted this 4th line speedy brusier who can score.....role.

If Merkley breaks out at some point we may just have to pass unfortunately...

 

[Maine Fan]

Outstanding 2 wins both against Philly.

 

[Guttersniped]

And once again, Merkley shows his surprising passing skills to set up Boqvist.

That sweet passing and his pesty, energetic (if not exactly hard) hitting energy are his best qualities. (Though that energy may contribute to his occasional lack of defensive focus.)

 

[NJDevs26]

Bahl played 15:00. Wow, would not have expected that.

Might as well, these games are basically the start of the 2021-22 preseason anyway given the Flyers are already out of it while the Bruins and Isles probably clinch by next week or close enough.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Outstanding 2 wins both against Philly.

Yep... Well everything but outstanding goaltending. But a win today where thry were in drivers seat and stayed there.

Only a couple dicey times where i felt the flyers may edge out.. But NJ regained momentum back..

I didn’t know Bing played the Syracuse Bulldogs last night. Everybody was healthy, particularly in big club, and now they’re dropping like flies.

 

[Omar Little]

Did it? Couldn't see the replay

Upon second look, nope

 

[Eggtimer]

We have more prospects similar to Merkley than we do McLeod. Jsoure takent I’d say Merkley is superior but we need McLeod and his size and ability to hit and forecheck yet has some offensive skill.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That Severson/Dano post game interview was really good.

I am pretty much in agreement here... If he (Merkley) is not taken by Seattle we can see if he comes into camp and keeps up momentum. A lot of guys at the door so he maybe odd man out...

 

[TheDuke93]

That Severson/Dano post game interview was really good.

You got one of those links?!?!

 

[Devs3cups]

That Severson/Dano post game interview was really good.

Couldn’t catch it, what’d he say?

 

[Devs3cups]

Bahl looked good imo. You could tell him and Smith played together, or at least were around each other, in the WJC.

 

[Whaddagoal]

After tonight.... Rango up to 4th in team points...

Passing the glorious Miles Wood.


Ty and Kuokkanen not far behind....

 

[Emperoreddy]

Couldn’t catch it, what’d he say?

Trying to find link, but Dano was giving him a pep talk about how he went through the same thing in the 80s and it was worth it when it turned around.

Also moved to 4th in rookie scoring. Passed Tim Stuzle.
