GDT: Devils vs. Sabres - Match up Shenanigans

[Cheddabombs]

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.

You all should be worried about the Rangers. Star studded team that this lowly Devils team could never stack up against.

Weird, I just watched that yesterday.

3-1 Hawks. This is an all time choke job.

Luke in limited minutes looked good defensively. Held his own nicely.

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.

That’s gonna be Palat next year, book it now.

Hawks are the dream crushers this year. Crushing Pens. Helped crush Flames. Crushing their fans hearts if these wins cause them to not get Bedard.

I don't know what the f*** got into Myles Wood but, I sure like it! Luke Hughes looked like he's played in the NHL before. Shaky start but, VV held up against it. They really got going and it was great to see the depth guys score. All in all a great night I'm feeling good about Thursday. Swamp kitties have plenty to play for and our at home with a hot goalie.

Hawks should pull their goalie

Wood looked good, very noticeable

I hope he shows it in the playoffs first. We need him to be better than he’s been down the stretch.

One game is not a career, but I think all the dooming about Luke’s defense is overblown. There will be plenty of ugly, but it’s all there.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Maybe Mike Sullivan can be Brunette's assistant next year?

 

[New Jersey Devils]

I’m a grown man with 2 kids but Bratt hustling his ass off for Jack to break the record and then seeing everyone so hype brings a tear to my eye no joke.

 

[Bleedred]

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.

You're right that they've shown zero confidence in him, but you know they'll give him another chance next year.

 

[Dylan9z9]

He sounds excited

 

[PWiz30]

Undefeated in the Luke Hughes era, Rachel Doerrie in shambles.

I doubt the Pens could score on the empty net.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

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

I don't think that's really indicative of anything. Ruff wouldn't bench Smith even if he got paid to do so yet he should have, like 500 times.

 

[Blender]

Tomas Tatar...3rd in the NHL in xGF%

 

[FloridasDevil]

Can't believe its coming down to the last game of the year

One game is not a career, but I think all the dooming about Luke’s defense is overblown. There will be plenty of ugly, but it’s all there.

Kids a 19 year old defenseman, only a fool would judge him after one NHL game....

In 1988 my brother and I went to Die Hard 2. He went to the bathroom and when he came back he recounted an exchange he overheard.

1st Guy: “That was a great movie, everything I wanted to happen, happened.”

2nd Guy: “Word.”

That amazing conversation perfectly captures Die Hard 2 (obviously) and this Devils win.

Just save time and snipe on your own net.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Jack's one hat trick in the final game of the season away from 100 points. I say he does it
