Lol....caught me clicking play and takes 8 seconds to play. Oh well. I'm too lazy to fix it.



Thanks again.

I’ve now watched it 4x. The most times I’ve ever watched an extended highlight that didn’t include a Devils’ goal. The only thing it was missing was a SHG by Haula, Bratt or Nico when they had their chances but Dowling’s soon after the kill worked just as well.

That pass by Nose on Nico's second goal was beautiful. Outmanned 3 preds
I don’t want to tear down Nose but he actually didn’t pass that puck.

His battling was key but Saros poked the puck away to get it out of the battle pile and Nico jumped on it.

It's getting cliche to say this, but this is a game that the Devils would have lost last year at any number of junctures. That 5-minute major was a master class of penalty killing, and it would have absolutely rattled them before.

Next game is the final test: get a winning streak over three games.

We're finding ways to win this year. Last year we were finding ways to lose.

I’ll be despondent if he ever leaves. :laugh:

I feel he’ll be a lifer as long as he can help it. Obviously as players get older and production becomes less consistent, you just never know. But he seems like the type who commits to where he is.
I feel the same way. His next contract will be a raise, but it shouldn’t be absurd either. I really think he likes it here.

I want to see Nico raise the cup as a Devil so f***ing badly
Im newly found fan, but i do feel nico will be good captain.

Not saying the Devils to make it or not, just stating the obvious. I've always had a soft spot for defensive minded centers (Koivu, Bergeron) but i feel like Nico might be an even better one.

Rewatched the game with the Nashville feed, which has the shot counter on the screen full time. Even with the major the Devils outshot Nashville 14-1 after they scored to make it 4-2.
And some folks were saying it was a horrible third period, smh

Asking out of legitimate curiosity. Do we think he meant to do that? I do believe he meant to get it out of the scrum. But do we think he new Nico was right there?
Noesen didn’t send it out of the scrum, Saros did.

It’s why there was no assist and one reason Saros was so mad.

We should find out later day if Timo is suspended and for how long?

I'm assuming he gets a game or two

I don't know how often hearing results in only a fine so yeah. I'd slide Cotter up to Timo's spot and Tatar into Cotter's spot. 2nd line takes a bit of a hit but they should still be fine. I think the 3rd line upgrades. Would like to give Halonen at look over Foote or MacDermid. Bowers-Dowling-Halonen seems like a decent enough 4th line to me. Timo should also at least be back before the Caps so he's gone for 2 weaker opponents at most likely
