New Jersey Devils 13-14

So interesting off season for the devils. Thoughts on the pick ups? I wonder if the passing of Denis Brodeur Sr. will alter Marty's game

Brunner seems to be carrying his weight so far. Hopefully chemistry will develop over time with all the change-ups.

The big thing I've noticed is they're getting killed when they're defending a rush. I don't know if it's just a bad decision-making or poor gap control.

Not all the new forwards are aware of what to do in the Neutral zone and who is supposed to be third guy high in the O-Zone. You get 3 guys forechecking too deep and the new players aren't sure who's supposed to be doing what yet because they're still learning the system. They'll figure it out.

The breakdown on inlouwetrust of the Islanders' breakaways was great.

Last two games were solid played games but just cant keep the lead, Jagr is heating up. Loving the chemistry between him and Elias

Comedic genius...

Honestly, if he wasn't jumping from team to team, he'd be a great captain. He actually has a lot of great input and a great attitude/work ethic. Being that he's played for everyone Devils fans don't like, I almost wish we'd picked him up sooner so I could have liked him this much sooner. It's been an absolute joy watching him play.
