Ya that’s exactly what I’m thinking. I think I already mentioned it but aDevils forwards are arguably all poor PP guys after the top 4 or 5 so let’s play Casey, Hughes, and Nemec on PP2…mostly jk but the Devils PP prowess at defense is better than at forward on a per slot basis.
Whatever they were doing today reminded me of the three person weave from basketballDoes he expound on this? I do like the puck movement on it though think we could use a little more of the Dougie point bombs
Exactly. Def-ly his best game and I dont think he was bad in wsh game. Today he played a lot and played exactly like we want to see him playing. He tried to create dangerous plays, he played well positionally, he saved the puck on the blue line.Yeah, I thought Nemec had a notably bad play at one point, but thought overall he was quite good
Well didn’t watch it closely enough but from a first glance it looked like Jack was doing a lot of skating around. Whenever it was on Bratts side he would skate down behind the net and pop up on the other side. Sometimes Nico would pop out for a quick pass. And then Bratt would give it Jack and then him and Jack would switch places quite often. A lot more movement seemingly than a traditional umbrella.Does he expound on this?

I'd use that as my new avatar, but I still love the Nico Stadium Series one too much still lol.
The one thing I would add to this is that Jack goes through too many of these stretches he’s not close to good enough. And there’s always reasons/excuses. Hopefully he can find some real consistency once he gets going or a better B/C game.Jack's play has not been good enough so far to start the year.
Jack's play today was much better than it had been the previous 3-4 games.
Jack is not nor should he be a "physical" player. That is not his game. We have plenty enough players, especially now, that can fill that role.
Jack did not have an offseason of training. He basically spent all offseason rehabbing from his surgery. If he looks like he did the first few games the majority of the year, then I will start to get worried.
the Devils are 4-1 and playing great hockey despite not getting big contributions from 86. This is a STRONG positive, not a negative.
All of things are true or can be true simultaneously.
Christopher Columbus is smiling down on the devils today! wish i could've watched this schedule so far to start the season I've gotten to watch 1 period which was the worst they played. what a min?!?!
What a player Noesen has become when he was stranded in the AHL and fighting to save his career. He potted a 40+ goal season in the AHL and hasn’t looked back. The guy is clutch, tough as nails and a smart player.
Love the Nose
I try to limit myself to in pocket ravings.Yeah we aren't spending the rest of the day after a win throwing tantrums.
Everyone played well today.
Valid concerns are welcome. Out of pocket ravings are not.

PP face-offs and PK?How does Nico have a game so out of line with his linemates?
