GDT: Devils vs. Sabres - Match up Shenanigans

[FloridasDevil]

Was mad for a split second Hughes didnt get the first star but Tatar was a great interview

I'm definitely conflicted. I really think the Rangers are a better matchup for us than the Panthers.

 

[Blackjack]

Thought Luke was solid. He flashed a bit of that skill in the 3rd.

Did the Devils feed show Graves’ goal saving play on the PK? Was an inch from being 4-3. Sabres feed had a great look. Was very similar to his play against the Rangers.

Yes, they had a great shot of it in tight.

 

[Rhodes 81]

It's just really awesome to see how Tatar found his game again after a tough season last year. Playing with Hischier has to help, but I have to admit I didn't see it coming from him.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I think Vegas and Montreal fans have both said that he's a ghost int he playoffs. Hopefully its changed with the Devils.

I mean....that's how fans are. Look at how people rip on our guys like Graves and Palat.

After seeing the replay I couldn't believe it

I've gone 180 on re-signing Tatar

I thought he was done with 20 goal seasons after last year

I wonder if we can get him for one year? Unfortunately, I think they'll let him walk and give Holtz a chance, but I'm not sure Holtz can replace him. I haven't seen anything from Holtz to lead me to believe he'll be as good as this year's Tatar, though he could be better than last year's Tatar and next year's Tatar, if there's any regression.

Doubtful, they've shown zero confidence that Holtz can play in the league.

I think Tatar can be had on another 2 year deal. Hopefully a bit cheaper then his current deal. I imagine he, like Haula, would like to stay in one place(for a team on the rise no less) for awhile.

I don't care who we end up facing in the first round. This team is damn good, we can take them.

I think Florida’s goaltending will turn into a pumpkin in the playoffs. Give me either team but let’s not act like Lyon or Bobrovsky scare us to the point of a Shesterkin.

I don’t know, the Rangers are still pretty hot and they have the goalie.

Chicago just scored, and are up 2-1 on Pittsburgh.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

This was sexy.

I thought he was fine. We didn't generate much of anything with him but he also didn't look out of place defensively.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Season wouldn't be as fun without this board to be honest.

Yeah, nothing beats winning 7-0 vs the Flyers and possibly getting Timo only to see if people are worried about the Rangers in the same thread.

@NjDevsRR when there is a Dano Genucel commercial

 

[DevilsHughes86]

LOL 2-1 Hawks

 

[Dylan9z9]

Chicago just scored, and are up 2-1 on Pittsburgh.

It's called choaking

 

[jkrdevil]

Chicago just scored, and are up 2-1 on Pittsburgh.

Florida will still have something to play for in order to avoid Boston. That is if the Isles don’t similarly spit the bit vs MTL tomorrow.

 

[Saugus]

He settled down a bit as the game went on. Was caught out of position a few times early on, but got better positionally later on.

And then that deke at the blue line was incredible. Hischier got robbed or else that would have been a well-deserved first NHL point for the kid.

Tatar was legit benched though in the playoffs, so it wasn't just fans.

We were on pace to have one of our worst xGF% of the season, but we ended up at 52.33% xGF% with a 72% xGF% 3rd period.

Devils were like “F score effects we here”

 

[DerekDevils30]

He was clearly trying not to do too much out there. Kept it simple. I like that little rush he had in the 3rd. Also made several nice plays on the breakout.
