Watch Jack Hughes tell Marino and Bahl to switch so he gets a lefty on that far side on the point for a quick shot, which he then buries
Kid is special

Classy move by Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald sending Yegor Sharangovich flowers thanking him for his years in NJ
Little things like this matter. Players know which teams treat their players well. It’s no wonder guys are choosing to join and sign long term with the devs

everyone asleep? ok cool

Thoughts on game 3:
- Luke Hughes stays in
- Schmid should start game 4
- I’ve not been impressed with Mercer at all
- Absolutely LOVE Haula fighting
- Devils PP needs serious work
- Jack Hughes continues to cement his place in devils history. The perfect star for this team

The devils now have:
• J. Hughes $8M till 2030
• Meier $8.8M till 2031
• Bratt $7.875M till 2031
• Hischier $7.25M till 2027
• Hamilton $9M till 2028
Plus Luke Hughes and Nemec on entry-level deals for a couple years. The devils core is gonna be together for a long time

In a Slovak interview, Tomas Tatar says: “A one year offer from NJ was on the table but I refused since I wanted more term. I only realized later in free agency that it’s not possible (to get more than a 1 year deal) this year. Then, Jersey signed Toffoli and that was it”

I am getting absolutely plastered tonight. I’ve watched I think every single game since like 2006, replay or live. To see a rebuild done properly and see the results of it is just an incredible experience.

Devils Twitter, a history:
2020: “Why the FUCK is Bratt scratched? He’s better offensively than any other guy.”
2021: “why the FUCK is Jack playing on the 3rd line tonight? He’s clearly better than X, Y, and Z”
2022/23: “McLeod was such a waste of a 1st rounder”
2024: Holtz

with the cap likely going up in the next few years, this feels like an absolute steal.
The devils now have:
Jack Hughes $8M AAV till 2030
Nico Hischier $7.25M till 2027
Jesper Bratt $7.875M till 2031
This is a recipe for success. Feeeeeed me fitz!!
Hearing NJ and Jesper Bratt are closing in on an 8-year extension with a $7.875M AAV. Do the math and it’s $63M — which happens to be Bratt’s jersey number.

Should NJ Devil fans buy the Carolina Hurricanes and immediately disband them?
Canes valued at $640M. Devils have 774K followers on Twitter. That means each fan would only have to contribute $826.00 for all of us to be able to buy Carolina, disband them, then laugh at canes fans

Even if the devils lose, a few things have become clear:
- Akira Schmid is the goalie of the future
- Kevin Bahl is an every day defenseman
- the lack of offense from the defense is apparent. Luke Hughes is gonna make a MASSIVE difference next season. Probably Nemec too
30

384
some thoughts:
- Nico Daws has looked really good so far. If they can get goaltending like that and stay healthy…
- Nico Hischier had a great game.
- Simon Nemec is so good already and does not look phased at all going up against the NHL’s best
- Luke needs Jack

If I’m Fitz I’m using that $9M in cap space to seriously go after a goalie. Be $9M over the cap come playoff time and worry about getting under the cap in the off-season. This team is too good to waste with average or below average goaltending

Friendly reminder that Scott Stevens only had 4 elbowing penalties in his entire career and wasn’t penalized for any of those monstrous hits on Kozlov, Lindros, Kariya
Played well within the rules of the game, unlike Trouba, Rempe, and the elbowing circus they’ve created

Couldn’t watch last night but the devils are garnishing a reputation as very soft
The fact that Bastian had to stick up for himself like that twice after taking the first head shot is atrocious
Call it old school, it’s still hockey. Idc if you get rocked, you stick up for Nate

One bad game = season’s over

Daws one bad game = we need a goalie

Toffoli goal = re-sign him ASAP!
Luke bad game = send to AHL!!

I think collectively, we as devil fans should treat ranger fans nicer. Can you imagine how pissed off we would be if Jack Hughes or Nico Hischier developed into Kakko or Lafreniere?

We should take more pity on them

I initially thought it was a bad look to throw shit on the ice.. it still is.. but seeing the reaction around the league makes me want us to lean fully into the “NJ classless fan” angle and make the prudential center the most rowdy and difficult place to play in the league

I honestly feel bad for younger fans who didn’t get to experience this era of devils hockey. words can’t describe how electric Brodeur was. Stevens laying guys out. Nieds going end to end.
Newer devil fans have known nothing but pain. But fuck, my childhood was devils domination
On this day in 1997, Martin Brodeur became the second goalie to ever score during a playoff game.

Yeah the devils are missing a ton of guys due to injury but they’re absolutely not THIS bad.. still have guys like Timo, Bratt, Toffoli, Hischier in the lineup and can’t generate any offense

This shit happens way way way too much.
Nemec clearly has Wood, Bahl absolutely can’t pressure Wood and leave Mackinnon open

If fitz is able to acquire Meier without giving up Dawson Mercer and then sign Meier to a reasonable AAV, I don’t ever wanna hear any fitz shit talk.
The Hughes contract, Marino, Siegenthaler, Vanecek, possibly Meier.
He’s proven he’s an excellent GM without question

Jack Hughes career assists: 126

So far:
• Luke Hughes is gonna be an absolute weapon. His poise and skating just inside the offensive zone is absurd
• Akira Schmid owns the rangers
• Bratt having a tough game in his own end
• Toffoli is a sneaky smart player
• Nemec has skills but still pretty raw

**Jack Hughes, probably a top 10 player in the league at 22 years old, has an off game (and still manages to create + has 5 SOG) at the end of a west coast road trip/back to back**

Way too early postseason thoughts:
- Jack Hughes is a player. We knew about the skill but we didn’t know about the heart and the fire. The fight with Aho, playing hurt in game 5. Total gamer
- Akira Schmid is very, very good. I’d love to see a 3 goalie tandem without MB29

Tomas Tatar going from being a healthy scratch in the playoffs in Montreal to being a key top 6 forward with 46 pts on the 3rd best team in the league makes me happy. Seems like a good dude, too. Low-key one of the devils best signings

Off-season checklist:
- Acquire a solidified

goalie (Saros, Markstrom)
- Fill head coaching vacancy
- Re-sign Dawson Mercer
- Acquire top 6 wing (esp if Holtz is traded)
- Acquire help on the back end
- Pray to the injury god he leaves our guys alone for the 24-25 season

Absolutely massive win. Feels like this one’s a character win that could spark a run. Down a goal heading into the 3rd of a back to back, can’t ask for much more than a Timo Meier goal

Great W:
• Daws made some big, timely saves when the game was tight
• Love to see Mercer make the most out of being in the top 6. That line was buzzin all night
• Lazar is a bull in a China shop and I love it
• Nemec is reaaallllly steady already. 2nd youngest dman in NHL

If I had to choose lineup based on merit, I’d try:
Meier - Hischier - Bratt
Holtz - Hughes - Toffoli
Palat - Haula - Mercer
Smith - Lazar - Bastian
Hughes - Siegs
Hatakka - Nemec
Bahl/Miller - Marino
PP1: Nemec, Jack, Nico, Bratt, Meier
PP2: 43, 73, 18, 91, smith net front

It’s comical how badly Sean Mcdonagh (play by play) and all of ESPN want the rangers to win

Can we fast forward to the part where the rangers get bounced and we talk shit and they say at leAsT my teAm made playOffs and we say we still own you in the playoffs and then we get Markstrom or Saros and Jack comes back healthy and the devs win the cup?

Everywhere I go, people ask me, “Matt NJD what are your thoughts about Jesper Bratt?”

Shit-talking Jesper Bratt after this season is dumb. Just really dumb. And here’s why:

This team man… even when they don’t have the juice they find a way.
Also this game just solidified that Mercer absolutely cannot be included in a Timo Meier trade

This year sucks, but here are some things to cheer you up:

The fact that Jacob Trouba is even mentioned in the same sentence as Scott Stevens is ridiculous.
One has 3 cups, 49th best player of all time.
The other misses on flying elbows and throws temper tantrums, throwing his helmet down and screaming like a 14yo girl at his bench

A good way to tell someone is either 12 years old or knows absolutely nothing about hockey is if they try to bring up Scott Stevens if you bring up Trouba or Rempe

“Fitz got fleeced”
1) everyone loved the Toffoli/Sharangovich trade at the time
2) if we made playoffs and didn’t win, Toffoli walks and we don’t gain assets

Simon Nemec is absurd. Breaking down one pass:
- Initially his eyes are on the passing lane to Holtz. Then he subtly stickhandles once and looks at the net, freezing all 3 Isles & selling the shot
- That stickhandle opened up a small passing lane under sticks of 2 Isles d-men

The MVP with Jack Hughes out, as I see it, is Curtis Lazar.
Guy is noticeable every shift. He’s finishing his checks, selling out to block shots, and (kinda surprisingly) generating offense.
He’s new to the team but he deserves an A on his sweater. Guy leads by example
