The Nose blows?

Let's not go there.

A nose in need deserves puffs indeed.

Give Jack equity in the team.

 

[Better Call Sal]

People are getting on Markstrom for the second goal? I agree with Dano that it was a one-in-a-million play where the dump off the board goes perfectly to Svechnikov and he put it in the exact place it had to be to go in.

I don’t know, sometimes good players make good shots. I thought that was a good one.

All that said, his save after that to keep it 2-2 was stellar. And I think a bit under appreciated given the outcome of the game.

 

[Hisch13r]

Enjoy this discourse lol

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that guy say something smart. Most of the guys clearly angling for higher media jobs though all regularly seem to say a whole lot of nonsense

In the arena that goal looked 50% luck on the bounce, 50% elite placement shot

thought Bowers and Dowling played an honest north south game.

They didn't make me cringe every time they entered the ice; they impressed me. Perhaps we found our fourth line without giving up assets.

The Devils are better off without Dougie after this year though. Nemec needs his chance.

 

[Saugus]

Enjoy this discourse lol

Well, until Luke gets going offensively and/or Casey or Nemec are called back up, Dougie is really all we got for offense from the blue line. Siegs-Kovy is a shutdown pairing, and Pesce is not here to score.

So I’m glad Dougie is racking up points to make up for the (increasingly frequent) defensive lapses.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a big Dougie fan. But man it can frustrating to watch his decision making when he’s the last guy back defending the rush.

I loved that second period. The Canes fight for every damn blade of grass (you know what I mean). I thought they played a whale of a game but that second was special. Way to go boys. AND at home?

From the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

The Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI believe that the entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure.

The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief, are small blue creatures with more than fifty arms each, who are therefore unique in being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel.

4th line looked INFINITELY better than it has in weeks. I don’t necessarily expect that to be the norm, but boy it was nice to see them take regular shifts and create some quality chances. I would’ve flipped if Dowling finished his chance that hit the post.

Was today iron day or what? Nico, Timo and Dowling all hit posts for us. Necas hit one for Carolina, I think maybe another one did as well.

I wasn’t going to say anything, because I don’t know who the f*** this is, but, yes, this post is remarkably unaware of how dopey it is.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Going back to the playoff series, Carolina had beaten us 8 times in our last 9 games (I think). This win is very satisfying.

Washington and the Islanders both lost tonight in regulation and the Rags are trailing out west.

Love it.

He’s basically a 3rd pair PP specialist right now. Idk about you but I think you could do a lot better with 9 mil in cap space than that

It’s fun and punchy and a bit risqué. Its got a beat you can dance to it I give it an 8.

The bounce is what it is but svechnikov is basically below the face off dot with no one driving center lane. He doesn’t need to be so deep in net which opened up far side. Bad positioning and kind of lack of situational awareness

 

[Devils731]

Hamilton scores the GWG and was the only +2 player on the night while have a 56% xG at ES…maybe people can lay off shit talking him for an evening.

 

[Nubmer6]

Is it possible we won because the Canes were expecting to play against Vanacek

 

[Better Call Sal]

Im sure this got shared already, but was Pesce really this noticeably negative?

 

[Guttersniped]

I had a remarkable amount of enthusiasm for a random plug replacement (because of who he wasn’t).

Luv U tons Shane! Was rooting for you to randomly score!

I don’t know, it was such a quickly developing play that I think even if he didn’t play it his best positionally, it took a perfect shot to beat him.

I think 99 times out of 100, that play is a nothing play. The dump in and subsequent shot were picture perfect.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Pesce was laying his body out in front of shots all night and breaking up plays. These cards have shit algorithms or something whacky. Dowling gets that much positive and Pesce is that negative? BS

 

[billingtons ghost]

Unlike the rest of this board, I'm not changing my tune based on the outcome of a game. Had they lost this game, that softy is exactly the type of goal that is just unacceptable



huh? yes they did. We were all talking about how much movement they had lol

Softie? What? Svechnikovs ridiculously placed top shelf on the fly? Are u nuts?
