GDT: Preseason Hockey! Game #1: Your New Jersey Devils @ Montreal Canadiens, 7 PM, Stream on NJ Devils App

Good play by Daws to come out and take the charge

smart 'play'

 

[Devs3cups]

Vilen looks really good out there. He skates really well from what I’ve seen.

 

[BostonDevil]

I think Boqvist is my new Kuokkanen.

Hope I'm wrong, but I've seen enough.

 

[Devil made me do it]

I see nothing in Slafkovsky's game these first two periods. Kid looks like a jag out there. It's almost as if the game is too fast for him. Lack of puck posession, can't create, can't shoot. Just another random body on the ice.

 

[glenwo2]

Good period (for the most part) for NJ but mainly 'cause of Bratt doing Bratt things.

Thanks for the too-many-men Penalty, Habs.

And another PP still going on for the Devils going into the 3rd.

But man...any PP unit that doesn't have Bratt on it seems like it's not a threat at all.

Hope that the next period, when the PP resumes, that Bratt is there.

Its like were watching two different games.

Slaf may actually need a full season in the AHL or whatever minor league there is to get used to the fast NA-game....

....doesn't look like he's ready for Primetime as of yet.

you really like typing "PP" don't you?

 

[glenwo2]

you really like typing "PP" don't you?

You don't like my PP?

Seriously, though...it's called not-wanting-to-type-out-Power Play-every-f'n-time.

 

[glenwo2]

What's with the "surprised" emoji, Xirik?

Didn't say anything unusual, did I?

 

[DerekDevils30]

Habs feed just gushing over Bratt all night. Can’t blame them.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Is Captain Nico playing?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Is Captain Nico playing?

Was, out with cramps

 

[mdj12784]

Is Captain Nico playing?

Out due to… cramping

 

[Eggtimer]

Is Captain Nico playing?

He died.

 

[Xirik]

Is Captain Nico playing?

He's cramping somewhere on his body, don't know exact location. Bratt is running to 7/11 between periods to get some pepto bismo just in case.

 

[HersheyBob27]

Was, out with cramps

You don’t actually believe that do you?

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Out due to… cramping

Should be back by early December.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

it's preseason. it's about knocking off rust in a game situation not honing the team as a unit. Plys the more the regulars play the more likely one of them gets hurt and i blow my stack

Which is literally what I said. "Get some reps in for our actual regulars". There's no point in wasting time with Walsh.

 

[NjDevsRR]

You don’t actually believe that do you?

It’s definitely better than believing in some of the stuff you post.

Nice glove by Daws there

 

[Bone Density]

Great save, Lundqkist

How did Johnsson miss that?

 

[Devils090]

Won’t see Nico til after the all star break

 

[BurntToast]

11 is so bad at finishing…

 

[Saugus]

It's a preseason game, not Game 7 of a playoff series. I have no problem with it if they take Nico out as a precaution at the first sign of discomfort.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Nice to see Bratt picking up right where he left off
