another great effort tonight, though admittedly my eyes were on the Yanks mostly. Another shorthanded goal. 12 goals in 2 games. This time off the undefeated Leafs. Zacha joined the youth explosion with his first 2 goals of the year. Myles Wood who I like a lot as a real potential power fwd in this league netted his first 2 as well. On to play the Caps Friday and the Rangers Saturday. Should be real interesting.
Yep Jay I think we're going to have to get used to giving up some goals with a young D corp and the pace we are playing. I'll take it, Schneider can handle it. Yea I think this will be a real break-out year for Zacha. I heard an interview with Shero where he said the 9 game thing with Bratt was no big deal and he doesn't mind burning a year on the entry deal at all.
I'm excited to watch the development of these young guys.

The PP goal by Zacha was insane. Literally they moved the puck so fast you couldn't see it. The goalie Andersen didn't move till the puck was bouncing off the netting
Great sequence.
Wood is oddly disliked by many Devils fans mostly because he takes some stupid penalties. I am a fan of his and I think that he will be a fixture on the 4th line. It will be interesting to see what happens in free agency with this team. They should hopefully be able to attract some free agents with the young talent on the roster. I would love to add Cam Atkinson if available along with Carlson or even Mike Green on a 2-3 year deal.
You're absolutely right. Hischier, Hall, Zacha, Palmieri, Severson, Butcher, Santini and Bratt already in NJ with McLeod, Bratt, Speers, Bastian, Dyblenko, and Blackwood on the way gives them the chance to compete for a long time.
Very exciting.

Melrose is a little confused about Bratt. He called him a 26 year old.

yea he seemed to catch himself and said he was younger. Will be interesting to see how they do vs. Washington and the rangers. One thing I still think they can catch teams flat footed, expecting the old Devils to come in and dump and chase and fall back.
It looks like Kinkaid will get his first start tomorrow versus the Rangers.
He could be the 2nd line RW or 3rd line C next season.
