Avalanche vs Devils GNT:

[SuperFlyer13]

A lot of scary looking plays along the boards in this game. Shocked nobody has been hurt yet.

we should def be seeing some fisticuffs soon.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Zubrus could have atleast used the threat of a pass on that 2 on 1. Don't think he even knew he had clarky with him.nice to see the rookie net his first though.

 

[falconski]

starting to get chippy after white whacks galiardi with his stick, 3rd may be fun, hopefully noone gets hurt (hopefully galiardi isn't hurt)

Congrats falcon good game Anderson stole that one

It was a good game, you forgot Andie's good buddy the post! The Devils should start aiming for the post more often and see if they score more.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Lmao we've hit allot of posts lately.

From what I saw they just looked out of sync. No chemistry..

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Hate to say it but I can't wait to see the flyers I think they need a physical team to wake up some.they were a little more physical tonight which helped but no where's near the physically of a nj philly game.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

hopefully volchenkov helps with that when he returns devs are a much better team when they counter punch off physical play.

Yea but physical is only good if your staying out of the box. Something we'll see if both teams can handle when they meet..

 

[TheRobotDevil]

That's part of what makes devils flyers game so good though.devils seemed to shy away from that in last years playoffs and it hurt them.

True..

 

[TheRobotDevil]

The devils seemed to get really gunshy as far as physical play went after taking penalties and got away from their game in the playoffs.after that you guys just pushed us around as we were trying to hard to be to finesse.gotta give your flyers credit though they stuck with their game and didn't let the 20 some penalties a game effect them.

One of the Devils main themes this offseason was getting more physical (Arnott, Volchenkov, letting certain players go) so the physical play should be there. I want to give this team time to create chemistry, won't jump on them too soon. At the same time, that's what training camp and preseason are for, so I"m a little worried. And Marty needs to be more consistent. Repeat Marty NEEDS to be more consistent. If you're going to have a bad game have a bad game, but the weak goals here and there and then standing on your head the rest of the game won't fly.

You do know Marty isn't young and has been your work horse for quite some time now. He is getting burnt out, same thing happened to Roy! They play too much because they are too competitive!

I also think age is a part of it. (Fingers crossed) Hopefully Marty doesn't hit that age wall abruptly.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I'm not sure its so much the age thing.I know its easy to point out martys age when things aren't perfect.but the thing I notice is how he played before the injury to how he's played after.before he got hurt he was fearless after he has moments where he seems to not be as confident and decisive.

Good point. Never thought of that.
I do not want the age thing to hit King Marty so suddenly. He still has a couple of years on his contract.
