That NJ team is close to taking it to another level. They are fast, good skill, good size. Aside from Hall, Palmeri and Hischeir were strongj. the trade deadline pickups looked like they are still not quite in sync yet.
I never imagined a decade ago that I would be saying the devils are playing fast exciting hockey. Good on them.
- 2.0
Ya, think about it, they got 2 #1 draft picks two years in a row. One already developed and the other coming along very quickly. Hall is like a gift that is gonna keep giving for time to come. (Edit) Palmeri was/is one heck of a player. He was one of, if not the best player on the ice last nite. Heck of a hockey player.
Buf is a beast right now. Best hockey from Buf right now. Nice clean body checks, knocked Hall on his butt couple of times. Chairot I thought played well, sure has a boomer and I thought the D did well for the most part last night. Perreault should have taken the nite off because he must have still been feeling sick. Helle had a good game. Not much to critique. Geez, with guys like Kuli now out day to day, it is a good thing they have a long line of depth to dig through.
Remember the 1.0 days when Hawerchuk got hurt against Calgary? We all knew it was curtains for that series. There was not much depth to take them any further. Today, we simply plug the next guy in and way you go. I mean, we can still have big body Mathias getting ready, Dano is available, Lowry getting close, Scheifs taking a break, Morrow on D, Poolman can be recalled. Depth is exciting!
