GDT: Islanders @ Devils - 7 P.M. - MSG/MSGSN

[Hisch13r]

To be honest i expected more from Nosek. I know he's a fourth liner but all i see is him getting outworked.

He was getting way too much hype as some elite 4th liner

Miller is learning a new system and new partners. I would give him at least an adjustment period before jumping on him

 

[DerekDevils30]

Let’s keep in mind new players can take awhile to look comfortable in this system. It may be a process for Miller and Nosek to get the hang of things.

 

[Saugus]

Excited to see the damage that Toffoli will do on a line with Hughes and Bratt. Very encouraging that they’ve developed such good chemistry so quickly.

We could be tossed out with Jack and Bratt and they’d make it work. It’s one of the best duos in the league

Also true.

 

[Guttersniped]

Honestly, if Some Dude/Horvat/Barzal are going to let McLeod do this, I’m very confident we’re beating the Isles unless Sorokin is God-like.

Unlike McLeod, Meier/Nico/Some Dude are going to score if they go to net like that.

Excited to see the damage that Toffoli will do on a line with Hughes and Bratt. Very encouraging that they’ve developed such good chemistry so quickly.

It looks like we are also tweaking the power play system so that the guy at the top of the Diamond runs a weave in either direction swapping places with the guy on the half wall and potentially handing the puck off as the two guys pass each other. The half wall moving up to the top of the Diamond and the QB moving into the half wall.

Looked almost like a basketball play where the forward and point guard move past each other and can hand the ball off. It’s also a de facto pick if the D tries to follow. The other guys were rotating as well. The islanders PK backed off and looked confused.

It introduced a lot of motion into the power play and stopped things from getting static. It drew the defense out of position.

Great.

 

[Lou is God]

What's the level above wagon?

Beast mode

 

[Mgd31]

Oh no, poor Holtz

 

[None Shall Pass]

Do ya like dags?

Protection from what? Zee Germans?

 

[britdevil]

Protection from what? Zee Germans?

Two minutes Turkish

 

[Hisch13r]

Oh no, poor Holtz

Foote’s Utica bound or on the off chance gets claimed

 

[britdevil]

Oh no, poor Holtz

It's not for me to doubt him, but I'm not sure where he got "strong game" from.

He was decent enough I guess. Pretty invisible.

 

[My3Sons]

I’d expect some team with a lack of young players will take a shot at him. He’s still a legacy and former first rounder who is still young enough a GM can squint real hard and convince himself he’s a prospect.

[Hischier and Hughes]

“i get a window from a glass…”

And whose glass house am I throwing at?

Please elaborate instead of throwing out riddles.

Thanks.

He's not noticeable from a scoring standpoint but he does a lot of the small things that lends itself to controlling play.

 

[britdevil]

He had a better game than Bastian, I'll give him that.

Nate looked really rusty. Unsurprising.

 

[OmNomNom]

He’s like Kawhi

Does he have the laugh

 

[glenwo2]

So Bratt on the PK was by design and it seems Lindy is planning on using him there?

Me no like.

All it takes is one bad blocked shot....bah.

Hopefully, Jesper leaves the blocked shots to the others.

Nico plays PK, Mcdavid plays PK, Marner plays PK, I get the worry, but Bratt was insanely good at it when he first came into the league and I can only imagine even better now. You don't have to lay down in front of shots on the PK much more than you do than when ES, he will be fine IMO. But the skill he has to be a pest with his stick and the added benefit he brings with being a constant threat offensively is huge. I for one have been wanting him back on the PK for years now and couldn't be more excited for it.

I actually really liked how Bastian played. Won a lot of battles and extended plays in the ozone.

From the interviews Ruff did too

Thompson is a dark horse to make the team and I wouldn’t mind it if it means no Foote. Thompson and Willman have both been better than Clarke and Foote. Haven’t minded Tierney either.

 

[Guttersniped]

He's not noticeable from a scoring standpoint but he does a lot of the small things that lends itself to controlling play.

The Tierney line was solid and they only had 2 minutes with Marino/Bahl.

It helps to be playing with Lazar, who’s posted the best numbers of various bottom six forwards (everyone outside of the Hughes, Nico & Haula lines.)
