GDT: Sheldon's Twenty: The Nose Plays - Your New Jersey Devils (1-0) vs. Buffalo Sabres (0-1), Global Series 2024 Part 2 - Czechia, 10 AM ET, MSGSN

[Whaddagoal]

Can't believe they didn't keep Kevin Lebanc WTF!

We offered him the same contract as Columbus. But we couldn't guarantee NHL so he would have to play AHL probably.

 

[Hisch13r]

Might have to alternate Casey and Kov when Pesce is back. Then send Casey down when Luke gets back and tell Casey, “go down there and don’t sulk cause you can play. Go be the best Comet player. Not D, player.”

Casey's the best transition D on the team. You don't sit him. I think you have to at least go 7D for now. Reevaluate how things look when Luke's back.

Isn't this misleading because it counts for just missed empty net shots? So if you had 3 close chances, it's add around 2 goals, as we see in this graph.

 

[RNCDevil]

Just noticed that Bratt was not passing to Timo...which I'm fine with!!! If they are a bit less pass-happy this year, I will be thrilled. I need the post-game locker videos stat!

 

[Dylan9z9]

You would have played 11 forwards today just to keep LeBanc?

Didn't say today plus if Nate goes how is that 11?

I also just don't like MoneyPuck. NST 5v5 though we still nearly doubled them up. 2.54-1.39

Palat couldn't play today and LeBanc is in America.

 

[AfroThunder396]

The added depth from Noesen, Cotter, Dillon, Kovacevic, has significantly raised the floor of this team, they can win without the young stars having to go supernova every night.

Their ability to forecheck is exponentially better and the defensive structure is night and day. It's also nice to have goalies that don't spot the opposing team a 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the first.

This team is clearly more resilient and isn't going to just crumble with a few injuries.

I think this trade is going to be one of those Herb Brooks 'I'm not looking for the best players, I'm looking for the right players' type of trade.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

A good system with players buying into it allows you to have a rookie playing his first games on his off side with a sophomore coming off an injury and look good to great defensively. Sky is the limit with this group

How many times have we said last year that having a good system and coach makes the players better, and some here just didn't understand

 

[Emperoreddy]

Columbus would have also simply claimed him the moment we waived him

 

[Dylan9z9]

Palat couldn't play today and LeBanc is in America.

Wow again I didn't say today

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'm gonna complain.

We should have scored 4 so we could have had identical box scores.

This team can't do anything right

If you didn’t doom post every second of the day you’d understand the Devils current roster situation and what was best for Labanc and his future

 

[Captain3rdLine]

So uh... we have a (good) problem. You can't sit Casey or Kovacevic.

You can't not play L Hughes and Pesce.

Misyul should be getting looks but he's 9th on a depth chart here ...

Just wow.

As well as he’s done I’d imagine we do send Casey down eventually. It’s the easiest one to explain and justify. Doesn’t have to go through waivers, is only 20 and fresh out of college, still had some mistakes, and they did limit his minutes quite a bit outside of the powerplay. We have an overload and they would have no problem letting him marinate in the AHL a bit and then be the first call up.

I wouldn’t be crazy surprised if they sent Nemec down but I doubt they will. I’d imagine it will just be between Nemec and Kovacevic for the 3RD spot once all are healthy.

 

[Oneiro]

First real coach in a decade.

[Bleedred]

We're also a better team. And our fans probably have more disposable income with a lot of fans being close to NYC. But I can see Elias factor coming to play as well.

Well I’m mostly talking the natives and the people who already live over. Not necessarily the people who traveled.

The defensive structure was always why I loved the Keefe hire, the Leafs didn't lose in the playoffs because they were just losing games 5-4 or 6-5 in OT but instead they just never got goal support from their big guns. Maybe that becomes an issue for us but we still have to get there with this roster. Also they're much much better equipped to deal with a team like Carolina now than they have the past 5 years with Lindy at the helm.

We also have a slick logo and color scheme.

Nemec has been very good defensively, he should stay

Calling someone who’s played 2 games with around 12 minutes of TOI our best transition D is getting a bit ahead of yourself. Not against 7D when Pesce’s back but I think Casey will ultimately be sent down eventually so that would just delaying it and taking minutes from everyone including him.
