He wasn't really noticeable this game, which is a W. I'd go back to 11-7 with Schmeeeed in net.
Sometimes it do be like that.
Timo's finally outscoring Laf!!
Tbh I didn't think the Canes created a whole lot. I thought we were pretty solid today at negating chances. Didn't like the shorties and I don't think that's sustainable at least, but VV being at almost -2 goals saved above expected on those goals doesn't help.They do need to be better with goaltending and on the PP. If I’m the canes I’m not sure this game worries me as far their chances. Devils still need to tighten up, get some better goaltending, and stop being absolute amateurs on the PP. They’ve shown they can make adjustments and learn on the fly, let’s do it boys!
Maybe for you Luke in was the obvious move... for me, and many others, it really wasn't.
Jack got away from the Slavin - Burns pairing and torched Pesce - Skeji. Need that again on Tuesday
Yes there was that one in the second period I think where he tried to skate out of the zone right up the middle, a defender behind him caught up to him while one in front got on top of him with pressure, he lost the puck, it wound up being a pretty good chance for the canes. Just off the top of my head. He was not good at all.He made several mistakes that, in a non blowout game, would've been a lot more noticeable. All the eyes right now are on Vanacek for not being able to make a save but I don't really want Smith back in again.
Luke going in given what we've struggled to do against the Canes seemed like an obvious move to me, and it paid off big time. Great transition game, great retrievals, good decisions in the O-zone, didn't fold under the forecheck. Great game for him.Maybe for you Luke in was the obvious move... for me, and many others, it really wasn't.

Now yes, I agree, but let's not act as if Luke Hughes is was the obvious move since the beginning of the playoffs. And they were not going to change the defense just after dominating the Rangers.Luke going in given what we've struggled to do against the Canes seemed like an obvious move to me, and it paid off big time.
