[Jersey Fresh]

HOLY SHIT WHAT A FREAKING PLAY

 

[RNCDevil]

holy nuts. Bratt/Hughes/Toffoli...This going to need a line name.

 

[theoptimist]

Nemec two times

 

[Blender]

JACK!

That was a f***ing filthy sequence.

 

[palek1019]

This line. Wow

 

[Bleedred]

 

[Devs3cups]

Nemec -> Bratt -> Jack

My god

 

[Captain3rdLine]

It's not the position that Nemac was put in, it was the choice he made with it.

What choice are you talking about? The only one maybe is trying to glove it instead

 

[njdevils1982]

hahaha

 

[Alex NJD]

Sorokin just froze up for a second after the goal like he was thinking "WTF just happened"

 

[Oneiro]

These guys are going to play together for 7+ years.

 

[VoidCreature]

Are we gonna lead the league in goals this year or what?

 

[youryeah]

OH MYYYYYY

 

[Guadana]

McLeod has been playing hungry like a guy determined to make the last spot on the team despite the fact he's a lock

May be he wants some long termish. But I believe he will have good deal on the market when he will face it.

 

[Devs3cups]

These guys are going to play together for 7+ years.

So f***ing wild to me that this will be the next decade for us.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Holy shit..that was gorgeous

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

These 3 are not getting split. If they do, Ruff should be fired.

 

[Blender]

holy nuts. Bratt/Hughes/Toffoli...This going to need a line name.

Brain is melting too much to think of names.

 

[Hisch13r]

Have to imagine the final 2 games is going to be a battle between Miller and Nemec. Nemec likely has the upper hand right now given he demoted Miller and promoted Nemec tonight

 

[TrufleShufle]

The best player on the Devils has 2 defenders on him, he has plenty of time to execute a pass to an uncovered Nemec, and our expectation is the Nemec should have been retreating from the play?

I'm confused as to why everyone else on the team had to have made the right play for Nemac to have made a mistake. I'm not defending anyone else by saying Nemac should have fell back. This isn't a debate to find out who should sit. Nemac is the rookie in a preseason game, it's ok to look closer at him, it's expected.

 

[BurntToast]

Nemec >> L. Hughes..

Is L. Hughes still hurt?

 

[Captain3rdLine]

There can be multiple people who made a mistake on the play, Nemac made one by not just dropping back as soon as he saw an airborne puck along with an opposing player skating at him. If he batted it down with his glove or stick, risky but no harm no foul. The safe play would have been to turn around right away and start skating.

It's not a big deal, it's preseason, everyone expects things like this, but this is exactly what playing in the NHL will teach you to do and more importantly not to do. Jack went through the same thing.

You’re talking about less than a quarter of a second. He had no time whatsoever to turn around that would’ve made any difference.

Jack was on the half wall and through it back and it got tipped right in front of Nemec. Not a thing he can do about that.

I don’t know if the slowmo is making you think he had time for a decision.

 

[OmNomNom]

Those look like chicken cutlets.

Or did a few tenders get too close together

 

[Devs3cups]

Luke and Nemec are just oozing offensive potential. We're seeing it right now. Awesome stuff.
