Jack getting back into form.
Nico heating up.
Luke becoming our 2nd bionic man.
Holtz looking legit sniper.
Toffoli still sniping it.
McLeod becoming a prime skating Kovalchuk at least in this game.

The only downside may be that Bratt has cooled off.
Also Bastian doesn't particularly look like anything either.

Meier coming back soon?

Season climb back on.

No clue. 56 seconds thought he already had to have it on his mind that even the slightest mishap he was stapling his ass to the bench all game.
Who was it on Tampa that he didn’t even play a shift in a playoff game against us in ‘07? I think that was the night he got into with MacLean.

Nate hasn't been himself but Lazar's been insane so it's really not much of an issue with a healthy lineup (if that exists)

lol Torts gonna Tort. Why even play him?



This has some "Stu Bickel in the 2012 playoffs" vibes to it. Dude played like 3 minutes in a 2OT game.

Also, I think it's hilarious that Hathaway ended up with more ice time than Farabee despite being tossed at the end of the first period. :laugh:

I think Bastian is very much a linemate issue.

They spent too much time in their zone - likely at least in part because of Dougie’s absence - but I thought nonetheless they played fine defensively otherwise. No guys completely uncontested in the slot, no odd man rushes, no clear breakaways.

Luke getting the OT winner was poetic given the obvious attempt to injure and miraculous return to the game.

This league is f***ing trash and the devils have to get it through their thick skulls that they need to start playing dirty because almost every team is trying to intentionally injure them knowing the devils are stupid soft. Grow some balls guys, the league doesn’t give a shit and will not do anything worse than minor penalties and maybe a fine for anything that’s not an obvious shot to the head.

They're winning while playing B- hockey at best.

Plenty of time to figure it out. And I guess there's an argument that it's better to put it all together going into the playoffs. Unless the whole team just takes turns dying and then getting refurbished at the shop all year.

His peers are outperforming him though over a series of games.

McLeod, Lazar, (4LW Smith)...
Because Bastian is playing with Tierney.

Bastian with McLeod was excellent.

But he doesn't do enough with the puck to carry a line. He can be a very good glue guy as McLeod's sidekick.

His problem might be that McLeod might be too good for the 4th line, AND Holtz looks like he is Mikey's new right handed wing man.

I want Holtz-McLeod-Timo to form the nastiest 3rd line in the league
I like Palat McLeod Holtz.

Haula McLeod Holtz was very good in their short run as well.
