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)

I wonder how much of that is because they sat back in the third.

all of it

There were 30 really good minutes and 30 pretty poor minutes. Hopefully 20 of those poor 30 minutes were just them going into too much of a shell protecting a multi goal lead

Lindy’s teams are goat at win o meter

Devils did a good job of boxing out and limiting second chances. Markstrom pretty much handled everything on first attempt outside the goal

Would've done a Scrubs theme had I known how successful our Newbies would be.

Didn’t like that third but Markstrom was a beauty. Dougie is fine. Jack hopefully warms up. Tatar and Nico and Mercer looked great. Kovy was solid.

Refs can f*** off.

Nice to have a goalie to win a game with this kind of meter reading.

 

[Comparison Ford]

god bless goaltending

 

[jkrdevil]

Well game 1 being a stress free win is a good thing. They kind of shut it down after going up 3-1, but hey they have a goalie now. Still some things to work out, but pile up points while getting the legs under you as a team.

It really is the Lindy Meter

 

[Devs3cups]

Oh and Markstrom with a cool 2.61 GSAx.

Cooking.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

1st line needs to get going, third period was bad but obviously about trying to shut down the game. I liked a lot of what I saw by and large.

Casey looks like an NHLer, if they can find 45+ NHL games for him this year I'm totally fine keeping him up to learn the ropes until he gives them a reason to send him down. Might even be part of some 7D lineups if the forwards get decimated.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Lot to love about this game

1. Markstrom - Simply fantastic
2. The other newcomers. Kovacevic, Cotter, Noesen, Tatar and Dillon played great.
3. The young defensemen. Casey looked good and Nemec looked like a 10 year pro.
4. Jack, Bratt and Nico looked great.
5. Hamilton is back.
6. Defense as a whole was super solid. Not many high danger chances allowed. Penalty Kill was great.

Not much bad too say. Maybe too many penalties.

There were 30 really good minutes and 30 pretty poor minutes. Hopefully 20 of those poor 30 minutes were just them going into too much of a shell protecting a multi goal lead

It felt very much like a shell. Even when the Sabres made it 3-1 I never really felt worried after that. Defenders boxed out the front of the net and didn’t give the Sabres anything in tight. Sabres have all kinds of weapons so I’m very happy how they defended down 2 top 4 guys

There's always tomorrow

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

I feel a bit bad beating up on Ruff on day 1. Lol.

Lindy will always have a place in our lore. Both good and bad!

I don’t but I’m a nihilist.

 

[MasterofGrond]

also Marky is good

and it's so nice to have a goalie make a hard save while also making easy saves

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Lady, be excited lol

Also, I know that Costco Devils beanie lol

 

[Emperoreddy]

There really wasn't that much dangerous doings by Buffalo in the third despite it all

 

[Japam]

A Devils win and during work hours AND on a Friday? Nice.

 

[NJDfan86]

The good:
Markstrom
Siegs and Mercer look like 2 years ago not last year.
Casey is ready to go

The bad:
Penalties (many soft calls I agree)
Dillion struggled playing up, will be fine when we are healthy.
Timo/Jack still not clicking. Not convinced it ever will, just think they are both too puck dominant.

I Think the Deserv o meter needs new batteries

 

[The Grinder]

I would like to have the first win of the season league wide and the last win of the season league wide. Please.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Hell yeah, got the dub
