Yes, feels like hell froze over.
Hard working, confident, reliable goaltending (many nights great goaltending), discipline, out hustle, cohesive, selfless and responsible play, focused, opportunistic .
That is Devils Hockey! They have coined the phrase.
My biggest question after the Devils great start was; How will they play against the top teams? They have answered that against a Penguins team, I would say is arguably one of the best in the NHL.
Virtually the same team minus a big chunk in Zach Parise since appearing in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Where they sit at the quarter mark is impressive. Can they keep up the momentum?
Krys Barch has taken over Cam Janssen's spot, could he be the next Turner Stevenson?
Kovalchuk looked like a man on a mission when scoring his goal tonight. Confidence is key for Kovalchuk.
Larsson I am liking more and more. The use of his body and skill is why the Devils had a gem when they drafted him. Tallinder is the odd man out until injury, a trade or someone just needs a night off.
Clarkson is a beast. Who would you rather have? Clarkson or Milan Lucic?
Hedberg is playing like Brodeur. Is there a better goalie tandem this early in the season?
This team is playing at its prime. Overachieving perhaps. But bar none, they are the hardest working team in the NHL. I am enjoying this team.
Truly yours,
The Devils Advocate
