I wonder if having Timo back and the new Hughs bro is giving the devils some better offense. Something changed. Though our D and goalie play was poor.

To be fair our defense kept us far in games one and two. I think rod was sending a message this game. Goalies gotta step up. Can’t always relay on last change defense.

Honestly not worried at all.

I was worried after game three against New York as it was one of the worst games I’ve seen us play this year.

As for this game, we’re a few inches away from scoring 7 goals and there’s no chance in hell we are giving up 8 again.

We’re fine.

Less that - more way too many odd man rushes allowed. We did a great job limiting them game 1 and Freddie bailed us out a bit in game 2 with them. I don't know if our defense was drunk or what but they played a terrible positioning game today. They were aggressive when they shouldn't have been and passive when they should have. Very uncharacteristic of them and hopefully we don't see another game like this on D the rest of the playoffs.

I think it also is in part because we can't linematch on the road. I think a big part of why we are so much better at home vs. the road is because line matching is probably most important to us than any other team in the NHL.

I literally came here to post that exact same thing and you beat me to it. Well said. I’m not worried at all. Will take game four.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
