Now I feel bad for Blackwood dealing with this team. Not a bad debut so far.

Mac can play. Not sure about the rest of the team.

It’s only one game but I like what I see from the guy. He’s got moxie.

He's got really good lateral movement and seems to get those pucks across the crease. Something that Kinkaid and Schneider always had trouble with.

Kid played great. Sucks it took the team 45 plus minutes to decide to play.

They only had any pressure at the end because Tortarella loves to turtle at end of games.

I’m impressed, Cory needs to hurry back, this kid might hurt the tank.

I'm more worried the tank hurts the kid... his confidence is already brittle.

Hopefully it has improved in the last few years. He certainly has height and flexibility and style to be an NHL goaltender, but that confidence is really important, and this defence can make you feel exposed pretty quickly. Thank goodness Kinkaid is eating all the damage.

He wouldn't be a New Jersey Devil prospect if he didn't have brittle confidence.

Sidenote, Matthews is just too damn good. With Laine, McDavid and few others, I think this is another golden age in hockey.

It is a golden age of hockey but unfortunately it's not for the Devils. We could sure use a top 5 pick that works out well. I sort of despise tanking but we need help.

I believe that was all part of the plan - Shero doing nothing in offseason, Hynes still coach after these losses. Constantly playing players that don't deserve a spot.

So if this is part of the plan, I think Shero has an ace he'll throw down eventually.

Perfect! This is a must lose game. Important to lose to fellow soft teams.

I havent seen Mack play the last two games so I'm curious how he was in net. Anyone have any thoughts or feelings for his game and his future?

That's the play of the season. Nothing is going to beat that moment.
