I think all the excitement of the standing block covered over a not so great performance from the Devils, an improvement from last week but still not great, only a mad 3 or 4 minutes in the second took the game then we could just control the game from there.
Obviously players dropping in and out and line combination changes feed into that but we'll need to tighten up a bit, good to get Martin back, he'll need to have 4 or 5 games to get match sharp but good to have him back on the ice
I agree with this to be fair.
It wasn’t as good a performance as the score line suggests. Defensively we were good last night I would say, LOADS of blocked shots, and seeing big Lou take a penalty to essentially save a goal was good to see.
Up front I think it was good for a few of our guys to get a goal last night. Pope for instance, and Joey on his return.
Felt like Linglet and Haddad looked slightly snakebitten last night, and would both have been frustrated not to have gotten goals themselves.
Overall, solid game, but could have been better.
