How was Sprong in his NJ debut?

Pretty good first 2 periods, a little quiet in the 3rd. Had been involved in maybe 2 quality chances to score.

Faster that I thought, very noticeable. Him and Glass played with Haula and broke him outta his 30 game goal / point drought since late November, that is pretty significant, no joke.

After how bad our 3rd and 4th line production has been, and we've been missing a guy who can really shoot it, I am speculating that he will be producing in NJ + a shot of that motivation being down in the AHL after some 40+ point seasons up here, and being potentially in playoffs will be gratifying for him. I expect a good bounceback from him.

Now with that said, I don't know why he had been in AHL in first place, so hopefully that doesn't come back here, lol

Wait did Glass score?
"IMMA GLASS MAN" is gonna be my go to phrase when he scores or does something outstanding.

Much needed W, Philly or not. LOL at Haula.

“Oh, you didn’t know? Your arse better call someboooddddy!!”

I'm sure it was mentioned in here but Keefe really took a shot at Cotter in the pregame.

Kinda liked it but hopefully it extends to guys like Haula when he gets off the intense heater he's been riding for like 9 hours now.

What did he say about him?

What did he say about him?

It was pretty honest comment about Cotter's game, and I wouldn't say Keefe took a shot at him.

 

[MartyOwns]

i missed the third, but overall seemed like a good game especially by the newbies. by far haula's best game this calendar year. and man, jake allen just seems like a rock, even more so than marky. what a difference from years past.

the playoffs are definitely still a possibility. win 2 out of 3 for the next few weeks and we're sitting pretty.

Could have replaced Cotter's name for Meier pretty easily.

But we all know that's never how things work in corporate.

Meier isn’t a defensive liability and helps push play forward while Cotter has been the complete opposite lately

i liked the way torts allowed his team to skate with us.. he wasnt trying to completely shut us down defensively
his guy move the puck around nicely in the OZ..

Liability? He's at 2.5 Goals Against per 60....Nico is at 2.2. Jesper Bratt is 3.1 and Jack was at 2.8....

Can't all be fantastic like Mercer's 1.9 but they try
