The biggest difference tonight was they weren’t skating in mud. They had energy and jump the entire 60 minutes. We didn’t see that in weeks

That sounds like 3 weeks… Hope I’m wrong
His game is definitely suited more for a 4th line checking role where he can just play a north/south game.I like cotter but he has miles wood disease. Simply unaware there are 4 other friendly skaters in the ice sometimes.
That article is based off the opinion of a doctor that posts on X. And even then he leaned towards it being a week to week injury vs months long injury.Ugggh…
Devils’ Jacob Markstrom injury: Monthslong absence a possibility, doctor says
The Devils are facing a major injury scare to their franchise goalie.www.nj.com
If Mercer brought this every night he’d be a 60-point player and excel in the gritty areas. You can see why the team wants him to work out as a top sixer and that he has the potential.
Hopefully this is our 24-25 launching pad 2nd half game like the Sevo OT winner was in 22-23
Know that street and every other one from Highland park down. My wife lived on Whitmore St., Hickory St., Comfort St., and Gregory St.. I lived on Averill Ave, Whitmore St., and Diem St.Yeah, that must be the park, bordering Ashland, Hickory, and Gregory St. right next to Gregory Park Condominiums, which is what they turned #13 into.
We're on Comfort, right up at the wedgiest portion of the wedge. Funnily enough, and I didn't know this at the time, but my dad (who went to U of R), lived in a house just 2 blocks down from where we live currently. It was a sketchy enough and unofficial enough living arrangement that he never got a key and just climbed up and down the fire escape to get in and out.
Yep I will gladly accept 3 weeks with how bad that looked. Hopefully Jake Allen can hold the fort like tonight for most games he starts, though he's bound to have a stinker or 2.I'll accept 3 weeks. 9 games.
Well we are two weeks away from 4 nations. So if it is a weeks injury he may get extra time to recover. If he isn’t back before 4 nations he isn’t going to play in the tournament.Yep I will gladly accept 3 weeks with how bad that looked.

No update yet?Was a really fun night tonight, but man that Markstrom injury was scary. Really hope it isn’t as serious as it looked.
That sequence of play where we had them pinned for 4-5 minutes was awesome. It’s a shame they didn’t capitalize on that because the crowd was buzzing during it, but they sure made it count the rest of the way. Timo and Mercer seem to have some chemistry there.
Also, a Justin Dowling primary assist? In this economy?
If they didn't win that 1995 cup they would be in Nashville.This win was much needed. Hopefully Markstrom's injury isn't too bad but I think this team can survive with Allen in goal. Sucks he hadn't won a game in almost 2 months but Markstrom started a ton of games and the Devils didn't play too great the games Allen got in. Montreal on Saturday should be a good test for the team and Allen will have some extra motivation for that one as well.
The Devils did a great job honoring Lemaire. He played a big part in this franchise gaining credibility and ultimately staying put in NJ. If they don't win the Cup in 1995 they might not of stuck around for all we know. It was great seeing Lou , Larry Robinson and the Devils past players as well. Especially the ones we haven't seen in a long time.
No update yet?
If he's out for any extended period, we're going to have to go with Allen and probably get Daws back up.
