GDT: We Back: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Buffalo Sabres, Global Series 2024 - Czechia, 1 PM ET, MSGSN (In Market), NHL Network (Out of Market)

yeah this is basically a preseason game for Jack, let him get in a groove, let all the new vets and leadership rub off on him over the next couple months, he's gonna be fine.

But I do think Keefe is gonna eventually find that Jack is best when you let him haul around space junk instead of working complex passing plays with other superstars. Put guys on his line that won't be mad when he looks them off for a low-% shot.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Overreactions, I know but I feel like Tuna is gonna fit well on his 2nd tour.

Tatar Bazaar never left.

 

[Hisch13r]

Really liked Mercer that period

Get him with Jack-Bratt already

 

[Mgd31]

Tatar a 100% xGF in the first period. My king is back home.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Where is Jim. Mercer is playing top 6!

Rupper thinks Utah makes the playoffs.

.....

[Signal]

Yes! Awesome! lol

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

MY QUEEN!

Ring is on the other finger…

 

[youryeah]

no disrespect to erika- she was great- but rachel is really good (maybe better?) with the highlights/analysis discussion. you can tell she knows ball

(I know she played in college)

I feel like Jack always starts slow and then by game 10 the guy has like 23 points and is cooking lol

How?!?

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Get him with Jack-Bratt already

Bratt-Jack-Mercer
Tatar-Nico-Meier

I think I like that more

 

[Hisch13r]

Bratt-Jack-Mercer
Tatar-Nico-Meier

I think I like that more

That's always been the obvious move to me.

"Utah... they're doing everything right." is a sentence that had never been said before, and will never be said again.

Martin Brodeur! The great #35!

This guy on NHLN just flubbed his number TWICE.

First he said ''Looking up to the rafters and seeing that 35!''

And then when someone told him in his ear piece he was wrong, he said ''I had that wrong, Brodeur was #35!'' and Rupp had to correct him lol.

I think I heard you screaming from Connecticut when I watched that happen.

Loved the pregame msg showcase they did about Rachel.... Nice to know her path to MSG. Hope they show it again or put it on YT soon.

Also it showed my girls some future paths.

It'll end up happening sooner than later, I'm sure.

But for now, lines 2 and 3 look great. Let the top line work it out for a bit. They're all talented enough that they should be able to get going.

She played college hockey her understanding of the game is probably a bit higher. No disrespect to Ericka at all.

You can take the team out of Arizona, but can you take Arizona out of the team?

I thought Schneids had his number retired and forgot about it, for a hot second

You can tell she's still getting comfortable with the new, bigger gig. I've caught her stumble over some words, just as anyone would I imagine as they start this new job.

She'll be a valued member of the team in no time. Glad Erika landed with SNY as well.

It's never going to work up to the potential of the players on it. It'll always be limiting them and while I think Mercer looks good Tatar-Nico cooks with everyone. Honestly the fact Mercer looks good is even more reason to flip Mercer and Meier as Mercer isn't just being carried by the Tatar-Nico pair and should be good with Jack-Bratt too
