outstanding.

87 empty net goals 😯
- Bettmanhatesus

Didn't Brett Hull score 86 with little to no empty-netters?

Anyone got a read on line up for today?

Did Kuzmenko get his reprieve?

Is RT going to gamble with the lotto line?

What will it take to end the losing streak against the Devils?

Not sure but will be an interesting test. We did not look great vs STL overall and can expect Jersey to be very tough to beat today. Back to back so hopefully Jersey is a bit tired but I can see another L here. Tocchet has had them bouncing back well after losses so...

Dump and chase and forecheck hard because Vancouver was really good at scoring off the rush but Tocchet has instructed them when they have an odd man rush to dump the puck in. Hence why they have the third lowest shot count over the past 10 games. Really quite sad that they have a lot of good shooters and don't shoot.

Good morning Gents. Hope everyone has themselves a wonderful day. Except Booner.

Seeing lots of praise for Simon Nemec from Devils fans these days. Guess we will see tonight how well he is doing.

Are you talking about those shooters that keep missing the net?

Another 5PM game, for me in AZ, love the early games for us old guys!! Hopefully the Devils are tired after bullying Bedard and the Blackhawks last night.

5-3 Canucks

I read that a few of the NJD studs are out. But I’ll wait for NyN to let us know the latest.

I don't want to steal his thunder but I just read this...


"Devils Trying to Bounce Back After Brutal Stretch
some more points on the board. They rank 10th offensively with 127 total goals scored thus far and center Jack Hughes is leading the offense with 45 points (15 goals, 30 assists) right now and scored six points in his last five games. In his previous game against the Chicago Blackhawks, he finished with zero points on two shots in 21:24 on the ice. They are dominating on the power play right now as they have converted on 34-of-111 (30.63 percent) of their attempts up to this point.
Nico Daws is expected to be the starter inside the crease for this matchup and has been struggling so far. On the season, he is 2-0-0 with 2.52 goals given up and a .906 save percentage. He played well in his last game against the Washington Capitals as he allowed three goals on 26 shot attempts in a victory. The Devils has been a struggling defensive team as their 128 goals allowed ranks 25th in the league. They are hovering around league average in terms of penalty kills as they have killed 89-of-116 (76.72 percent) of penalties against them."



Injury Report for New Jersey

Center Jack Hughes: Undisclosed (Questionable)

Left winger Ondrej Palat: Lower Body (Questionable)

Right winger Timo Meier: Abdominal (Questionable)

Defenseman Dougie Hamilton: Pectoral (OUT)

Left winger Tomas Nosek: Foot (OUT)

Gretzky did that in one season. Twice. Then again Gretzky was the best player ever.
- VANTEL

Edmonton Oilers - 80's best player Wayne Gretzky 4 Cups

Vancouver Canucks - 80's best player Toni Tanti 0 Cups

Canucks have had some good teams but they've never had a generational player, they've barely had HHOF talent, Edmonton and Pittsburgh have had two. Canucks need talent desperately if they're ever going to win.

I'll say this though, it's not the 80's any longer, defense wins Championships!!

Did Danila Klimovich die, or go back to the Soviet Union? What happened to him? The Benning curse?

Hurt.

Before last night he just came off a game where he scored 2 goals and was the teams best forward both ends of the ice. He's not playing at his early season level, but news flash.... outside of the 3rd line, no one is really.

His line is getting zero help. Miky is not doing anything and RT is cycling 4rth liners or Kuz on the other wing. He is the only legit top 6 player on that line. Miky is historically a 3rd liner. RT is scratching Kuz because he doesn't feel he's an NHL player and filling in the void with grinders.

At least on Millers line there is permanently 2 top 6 players. Suter is hot and he'll be on that line most nights. Your expectations of Petey in this situation is a bit unrealistic.

And to answer your second question, a top 6 winger is very needed.

Boeser is not a top 6 player. Both Miller and Ep play with bottom 6 scrubs. The team has a long way to go

Nice takedown, knocked him out

Anything new on the rink? Is there any traction with the location in N Scottsdale?

Drance? Hate that clown. But if he thinks Boeser stinks he is right about one thing

Bedard out with fractured Jaw.

Pretty true. You hear it from people that go to Euro sporting events that it's different.
