GDT: ECSF Game 3: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Carolina Hurricanes, 3:30 PM, TBS

[Devs3cups]

What a nice, patient play by Nico.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Luke had a subtle defensive play as the canes tried ot enter the zone there

because he's such a good skater he can drift over, pressure the guy int he middle ot go wide, and still be able to recover against the left most Hurricane if need be.

Turns what should be an easy entry into one they gotta work for

 

[JrFischer54]

With this lead you let Luke off the leash and let him go

"The oldest brother Quinn plays with Tocchet in Vancouver!"

Poor bastard!

 

[britdevil]

Yeah but can he do it against men?

Feels good to get an early game right?

 

[guitarguyvic]

These high picks that come out of college are a different breed. They come into the league at a higher age and college hockey seems to prep them better than the AHL.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

All of our Dmen can move the puck with this line up minus Smith (although he is still better than Graves with the puck)

I think Graves is better defensively than Smith but way worse at handling the puck and in transition, which is absolutely crucial in this series. Idk how Ruff can't see that.

 

[JimEIV]

Lot's of clutching going on right now

 

[13BearerOfHope]

Luke will be the best Hughes

I'm not comfortable with Vanacek in net. Not even with a 4 goal lead.

The future is Daws and Schmid. Trade Bratt for goalie depth. Get rid of Hillbilly and Vitek

College hockey (at one of the good development programs) is a nice in between the AHL and CHL. Guys see a ton of minutes, are allowed to cook, but it's not juniors level pond hockey shit, you also gotta learn a real system.

If this score holds up, I’ll be able to actually enjoy watching the 2 remaining games today

Won’t be as long as people think

For those keeping score at home.

Jack Hughes (8) just passed Kaapo Kakko (7) for career points in the playoffs in about 19 less games.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Who could've possibly seen that Luke needed to be in and especially against this Canes team? I love waiting until I'm down in a hole to make the correct decisions.

It wasn't even that though. Ruff was forced to. If Graves isn't injured, Luke isn't playing. Them going 11/7 should tell you what kind of "decision" Ruff made.

 

[MasterofGrond]

good job defensively dougie

 

[JimEIV]

More goals please.

 

[BahlDeep]

The strategy seems to lob the puck towards the NZ and just forecheck them... which seems like it's working

 

[Thovohkin]

Bratt or Mercer pots the next one. Get it

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

What a O zone show.

3 points for Jack so far let's catch Sundstrom!

Leave me alone.

 

[MartyOwns]
