Todd Cordell: G70 New Jersey Devils @ Vegas Golden Knights: Five things to watch

THE ANSWER is 5!

Unfortunate to hear about the Devils giving minimal effort during practice after partying, but I love how Hynes handled it. No cursing. No tirade. He just looked at them for several minutes and the effort improved dramatically. Love it

Maybe they should reduce Bratts minutes and put him on the third line.

Maroon-Coleman-Noesen could use a fast skill guy. Then move K-Palms and Noesen up a line.

What?

What?
- Corysbetter

Hall - Nico - Palmeri
Grabner - Zajac - Noesen
Maroon - Coleman - Bratt
Wood - Boyle - Gibbons

After the last game I would prefer gibbons down the middle than zajac

Gibbons s not a natural center. what was his faceoff % in that game??
Zajac is the best faceoff mn we have .
Start with the puck helps possession numbers.

You must have the puck to score.

i don't believe that faceoff win percentage correlates to corsi.

Still don't get how anyone thinks Stafford helps the team more than Bratt. Really disagree with this decision.

I agree, not a fan of Stafford, he's good in a shootout and thats about all he brings, but he hasnt been bad lately. This game is the type of game that i think Bratt could play well in though, a fast-paced back and fourth style where he could just his speed and shiftiness., not much physical play, which suits him

Right, cuz Zajac's FO% has gotten us far in the last 5 years..
the sooner we get past Zajac/Greene's contract, the closer we'll be to being contenders.

Dude, you need to go take a relaxing movie in at the Lafayette and reconnect with reality. Zajac and Greene are hardly the problem with this team the last five years.

While they are both admittedly on the down slope of their careers this team has plenty of cap space and their contracts aren't really a problem.

Zajac and Greene’s contracts aren’t preventing the Devils from signing anyone, and both are still legitimate NHLers.

Nice to see they're sitting someone who has the potential to create offense for someone who clearly doesn't

I'm only hopeful because it's Vegas first home game after a long road trip and they're missing a few guys
