GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (27-17-6, 60 Pts) @ Montreal Canadiens (24-20-4, 52 Pts), 7 PM, MSGSN2

Laine's thought there was probably a pass to Matheson and pass back to him for a 1T but that pass was so f***ing bad. Plus we kinda got lucky since the Devils forwards were tracking back so it was gonna be a jailbreak chance the other way

 

[Blender]

Oh they said 9th straight win in Montreal. Explains why they were playing Take On Me, we own their building.

 

[glenwo2]

What a win.

Bratt / Nico connection is back.

Tatar scored on his former team

And Jack Hughes was doing Jack Hughes things in OT.


Would've settled for one point (and been annoyed at once again not closing the deal in Regulation) but ECSTATIC that we took the 2nd in OT when it seemed like we were headed for the inevitable loss in the f*cking GIMMICK with less than 50 secs remaining before Jack's heroics.


GREAT WIN.

GREAT WIN.

and oh...did I mention.....GREAT WIN?

 

[Marv4Life]

Wasn't pretty but take the W and move on.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Not that Matheson would've caught Jack, but Meier casually got right in front of him just to make sure.

Yeah I really thought there was going to be an interference call there

 

[The Grinder]

That was a fun f***ing game and much needed win.

I feel like the Timo-Mercer experiment is working. I liked their line tonight.

 

[Patrik26]

Money but what does that have to do with faceoffs?

Killing two birds with one stone there. Bravo!

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

just keep banking points until Markstrom is back, and hopefully Nico is not ded.

 

[Dialamo]

lol you are like Ann Frank in Montreal being a Devils Fan ... haha

Na I have a soft spot for Montreal I sometimes root for them when the Devils are out. Helps me stay safe.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Had em all the way

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Yeah I really thought there was going to be an interference call there

Timo isn't interfering with him per se, he's just skating in his way, really heady play by Timo. He's able to be in that part of the ice as much as Matheson is

 

[FinnishDevil]

Dowling gonna be 1C next game.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

My Devils PJs are now 1-0. Just saying.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Nico was so clearly playing sick and when you are playing the style he plays without the energy to actually play it, you get hurt.

That said, I could not watch the game and did not see the play. Was it just a cheap shot?

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Man what a big boy play by Timo. He earned that assist.

 

[Bleedred]

Bleedred, I thought Allen did a very good job in net. Maybe he is going to step up now that Markstorm is out. As my goalie guru what do you think, Bleedred?

Allen's history would say probably not, but we've seen rando nobody goalies worse than Allen go on runs before, so it's possible.

If not him then maybe we get some help from Daws.

Though I'm not too terribly high on him, but it's a new season, new head coach, new system and he's a year older.

Best case maybe Markstrom starts the first game after the break, which is only 4 weeks from tonight. There's only like 6 or 7 more games left until then I think?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Timo is in front of him, that is his ice, that is not interference

they should never call that

 

[Camille the Eel]

Woo Hoo. Big win.

Nice little legal interference too by Meier by the way after he fed Jack the break away, to steer himself in front of the lone defender and make sure there was no pressure on Jack by anyone coming back hard from behind him.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Timo isn't interfering with him per se, he's just skating in his way, really heady play by Timo. He's able to be in that part of the ice as much as Matheson is

Yeah if Timo has a step on him there he’s allowed to cut in

 

[devilsblood]

Thank goodness Meier gave that over to Jack. You just know Timo would have found a way to not score there.

He got the apple, so a little point streak going which is good because putting so many shots on goal without scoring must get frustrating.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Stop makes excuses please

Huh? It wasn’t an excuse. He literally is playing with stitches, didn’t you even notice him not being played in certain situations tonight? They literally had Noesen and even freaking Luke take a faceoff for him. Me pointing that out wasn’t making an excuse for his play which I haven’t been happy with lately. I was literally speaking a fact.


You gotta stop with your fixation of attacking everything I say on here.

 

[glenwo2]

I just saw this after posting my comment.

If Nico is hurt and I mean hurt in the sense that he misses time, f*ck everything!

 

[Bleedred]

I don't think it's long term with Nico.

Jack got stitches last game, which is obviously why he wasn't doing faceoffs tonight.

I'd have to think that has a lot to do with the horrible faceoff numbers tonight, without actually looking at them.

 

[Bcap88]

They are slowly getting back to their game

There was a lot of good play in this game

Unfortunately about 10 minutes of shit play almost f***ed them

 

[NJDfan86]

Timo is in front of him, that is his ice, that is not interference

they should never call that

Just smart hockey
