GDT: Hurricanes at Devils 12:30 EDT - Game #78 (MSG)

[mtnet]

Dano there's a reason he has not played in quite some time

 

[NjDevsRR]

We make fun but good for Gilles. A great two periods so far.

 

[Billdo]

Gilles playing his heart out to save his NHL career.

He's not an NHLer

 

[Blender]

Really nice to see Boqvist turn into an actual decent player.

 

[Eggtimer]

Nice saves. They guy is not going to be in the NHL again after this year so may as well play his heart out.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

So who is that in net wearing a Gillies jersey?

I was actually thinking the same thing.

 

[Billdo]

Really nice to see Boqvist turn into an actual decent player.

I look forward to him getting a full year at center. He's been really good for a decent enough stretch now that I'm comfortable putting him there to start the season next year.

 

[njdevils1982]

gillies 0 GA after 2

anything can happen in jersey

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Gilles playing his heart out to save his NHL career.

Is probably too late for that.

 

[Dialamo]

He's not an NHLer

That goes without saying........but since he's playing in the NHL currently, he might as well make the best effort he can...

 

[Dylan9z9]

The Canes coach is ripping them a new asshole "Boys you are playing against the worst goalie in the league WTF!"

 

[Eggtimer]

Gilles can make 78 saves in the third but he still is not a NHL goalie after this season. He couldnt land an AHL job to start the year.

Jon “Canes Killer” Gilles.

Johnsson goal incoming.

To be fair, they’re playing well. Gillies just decided to be Hasek today.

 

[NJDfan86]

Boqvist‘s reaction to whether he knew Yegor got the puck was classic lol.

 

[njdevils1982]

Johnsson goal incoming.

i wouldnt bet on it

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Really nice to see Boqvist turn into an actual decent player.

I think that's the different approach in Fitz and Marty preaching proper development which requires patience....Good to see

 

[youryeah]

I still don't know what to make of boqvist lol. his career trajectory has been a rollercoaster

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Really nice to see Boqvist turn into an actual decent player.

It’s a little interesting that he and Zetterlund were both heralded as really strong picks when they were drafted, and they each slowly lost their luster over time. And we’re right back to where we started with everyone being excited about them again, at least cautiously so.

Bottom 6 C is obvious, hopefully the 3C since that was a roster weakness going into the year. It’d be nice not to have to overpay a guy in UFA for that role behind Nico and Jack.

There’s no set path to development, great to see some of these guys elevating their game in a lost season for the team result.

Ya , originally I wanted an entire new third line but Boq and maybe a Nuke / Marchment or two would be nice lol

 

[NJDfan86]

Great board work by Mercer on the PP goal BTW

Im impressed by his durability as a rookie. Hasn’t missed a game and is still doing good board work.
