GDT: NJD @ WSH; Part II

[Emperoreddy]

Thank you for this.

I didn't want to let it get public but I think the fact that Henrik and Anton are still in the lineup makes it obvious: Mark Fayne is dead.

That is dark as hell, but I can't stop laughing.

I love when Kovy is so aggressive and has the killer instinct. If we didnt have him we'd have the worst offense in the league by far haha..he's such a beast. I'd like to give Lotki a few shifts in the top 6 to see what he can really do. He's been solid not even considering the goal. His passing has been brilliant. And get Fayne in

 

[manilaNJ]

Ugly, but I'll take it.
I won't say the refs handed the game to the Caps, because the refs were also a major factor in the goals against as well. It's what happens when whistles become permanent attachments in games.

It's all about making the most of your opportunities. Devils managed to do that, despite some lackluster PPs to begin with.

But, this kind of reminds me of a rough patch last year when they played better down a goal than up a couple of goals. Slowly dug their way out of it and started to play some good hockey... hoping for a similar path.

But, hey, they're practicing their superior sense of resiliency for the playoffs this season

I don't know how Lokti found his way on a line with Poni, and Gio. It was certainly better than him riding 3rd wheel with the goon squad though.

Bernier was on the PP prior, and im guessing Matteau was benched in the 3rd

Didn't Lokti win that faceoff?

 

[Devils Trap]

Yes he did

 

[daveskirtun]

Remember that time Ilya Kovalchuk showed up in the 3rd period and the Mud Dogs won the Bourbon Bowl?

 

[Bleedred]

Kovy with 28 minutes. At least we made it count with a win.

 

[Chessarmy]

Loktionov was very impressive tonight, I had a sneaking suspicion that he had it in him to contribute in this league, hopefully he keeps it up. I want to see Ponikarovsky-Loktionov-Kovalchuk at some point :p

Good game, I say put Moose in on Saturday

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Wtf the Devils won.. After even watching the highlights and seeing how our defense was just cones for caps i was sure we'd lose. Great to get 2 pts, though.

 

[Devils Trap]

Christ Kovy's shot was dirty

 

[VaxjoDevil]

I see Larsson had only 13 minutes, what is up with that? I didn't watch the game.

5 power plays in the 3rd...Kovy must have played close to 15 min in the 3rd

 

[Devils Trap]

5 power plays in the 3rd...@ one point Kovy must have played close to 15 min in the 3rd

They showed a ridiculous stat in the broadcast
13:18 had past in the 3rd period. Kovy played 10:00minutes out of the 13:18

 

[VaxjoDevil]

5 power plays in the 3rd...Kovy must have played close to 15 min in the 3rd

OK, understood. They might pay a price later on for this overuse of him, damnit.

Well 3:18 mins are missing....



Lazy *******

 

[King Henrique]

It's not the last game of the season, but they couldn't hold anything back now.

 

[Chessarmy]

Henrique was phenomenal on the PK tonight - he may not be putting up a ton of points right now but I've been very impressed with his hard work along the boards and in the defensive zone

 

[Bleedred]

Moose is likely in Saturday. Or Sunday at home, but I'd bet Saturday.

 

[Devils86]

If you look alot of these "extra" minutes are on the PP..Not the most taxing minutes especially with that umbrella PP . In games where there aren't alot of penalties his ES minutes are in the low 20s

 

[Devils Trap]

Moose is likely in Saturday. Or Sunday at home, but I'd bet Saturday.

Moose has yet to play a home game IIRC. Id give him Sunday. I want him to hear Moooooooooooooooooooose after every save

Problem is hes our 2nd line C not our 3rd line checking center,,,Zajac 2 pts in 14 games. AH 4 shots total in the last 7 games...our C need to do much more on the O side.

 

[Bleedred]

Nope he hasn't played at home yet. I like throwing in another goalie when we're playing back to back games with the same team though. Especially since they haven't faced Moose yet.

 

[MultipleMiggs1]

I liked the stretch where it seemed like Kovy and Ovechkin were just trading rushes. It was like they were trying to outdo each other. It was giving me heart attacks at the time, But it was exciting.
