I love what Keefe just mentioned about Nico's goal coming off the benefit of the line change and handing off the work of that line with Lazar coming off to Nico getting the reward. Also noting he felt Nico's line won virtually every shift they were out for.
Keefe is such a breath of fresh air to listen to already.
LMAO he just called Kovacevic "Kovechkin".
So is being a scold.
The discussion has turned to how an 18 year old signed in the KHL until 25/26 would be a perfect partner for one of our current Devils, I feel like was discussing the comparatively short term.
There’s been a plenty of successful teams that make due with some hilariously patchwork defense at times.
There's definitely going to be issues with zone exits until the defense gets healthier. R/R with Casey and Nemec is not likely to work, either. But I just realized today that the Devils are probably down to 10th on their depth chart with Pesce, Hughes, and Hatakka out.
Missed the game due to my sick kid. So happy we won but how did we look overall?
Can someone summarize it? Thanks!
Replacing the ECHL quality goaltending with a really good one probably helped.That's a game they probably lose by 3+ goals under Ruff, out chanced for the whole game after building a lead and they gave up a few one and dones in dangerous spots that would've spiraled into chaos with Lindy's dumbass swarm defensive system. Buffalo losing that game is also carbon copy of our losses under him. The Devils have a few things to fix but can't complain about being 1-0.

Have you seen the deserve to win o'meter?
I'll take the points but wasn't all that happy with the performance.
Thanks Marky.
I think we need Luke and especially Pesce back more than some here think.
