I missed the first half of game so maybe you guys saw a play I missed.
Not saying he starts to model himself like Dave Andreychuk and park in front of the net entire game. Just saying I have no problem with him in front of net at times either. Rebounds, deflections, drawing penalties is a plus too.

Huge win, Hall keeps his streak alive still 16 games. MVP candidate. Also, I think Nico may read the boards:

I was at the game. Besides skill, Nico is a smart hockey player. He can anticipate plays happening before they happen. Once he fills out size wise, there is no reason why he cannot become a star in the NHL.

Nice to be on the side where we score 5 goals on 22 shots for once.

Happy for the win! It was well deserved and that Philly comeback definitely had an influence last night. The line changes, for now, worked and glad to see Zacha maintaining the 2nd line duties! well done!

Nico is smart and going to have a good career with us(hopefully). I hope he shoots a bit more but not complaining otherwise.

Does MoJo fit on this team?

3 wins in a row, Tampa Bay too. Hall keeps the point streak alive and Nico has been a stud. Also this:

I'll be honest, I was hoping to maybe sneak a point out last night with lack in net. Getting 2 in Tampa is HUGE. Nico looks like he's becoming more assertive, Hall is just an animal. That line with Hall-Nico-Palms is legit

Yeah looks like rp was right about Nico! Good call over Patrick so far. Devils should sign you to be a scout.

Zacha finally playing like a 6 pick. Really hope this team gets mojo back this year I would love to see what a fully healthy team can accomplish.

Lack stoke the game though it wasn’t pretty but man that was a tough spot for him kinkaid better not have a clunker tonight

Hall 18 game point streak, incredible.

Nico and Zacha both score and are looking awesome of late.

Vatanen has an assist in 5 straight games, really looking good.

 

[linebackeru]

Big 2 points on that short turnaround, especially coming off the game vs Tampa. What more can you say about Hall? He's been a monster this season, Nico and Zacha looking good. Gotta give Kinkaid some credit tonight as well. He made some big saves and was getting shelled all night.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Lack and Kinkaid both looked good this weekend, gotta give credit where it's due.

Yup. For all of the goaltending problems this team has had over the past few weeks, the last two games have been great.

 

[CalamityX11]

Lack n Kinkaid get their due!!!!

Go Devils baby!!!

I despise the NJD vs Everybody thing. Reeks of someone in the marketing department justifying their job. Reminds me of the Bobby Farnham Wild Thing nickname, nobody called him that, complete msrketmar gimmick.

i really am surprised they go the win yesterday with the tight turn around i really thought they would sleepwalk in the game. granted they did get outshot 41-20 or something but impressed they held it out for the huge win.

vatanen is quietly becoming a beast back there 17pts in 35 games with the devils? thats incredible production. i love his shot if only he could score with that hammer.

the goaltending just goes to show you that you just need competent and capable goaltending to win games. having a stud #1 top 3 goalie is great but you can get the job done as long as the goalie doesnt let up bad goals.


the devils vs everyone i'm guessing is because it seems that the nhl is against them with the offside bullshit and the suspension/concussion with marchand. it reminded me of the swarm it up t shirt lol.

 

[CalamityX11]

I like the NJ DEVILS vs everybody. It works well both the PR department n for the locker room itself.

The guys are really big on chemistry and reliability among each other. To me shows team first mentality as well adds fan enthusiasm for a possible playoff run.

I like it. Then throw in the crap their dealing with, officials, losing streaks, fan criticism, pundits overlooking them etc...

It feels forced to me. I don't have a strong opinion on it, but it doesn't feel natural to me.
