Good food, great wine & better co. ON wine adventures w/ a side baking is the M.O. 3x Popcast Mailbag Famous. #NJDevils
The good news is the spin move actually worked & Luke scored so the #NJDevils won’t be shutout when we lose tonight. The bad news is everything else was absolutely putrid. I’m calling it a night because we didn’t show up ready & showed no signs that we’ll fight back & make it a respectable game.

It wasn’t pretty but the #NJDevils hung on & got a regulation win to break the losing skid. Credit to Markstrom for shutting the door when we needed it in the third. A huge game by Brown driving the offense w/ apples including setting up the game winner. Lots to improve but positives to build on.

Great play by Brown on the forecheck to make that happen and Glass driving the net to finish. We needed that after Nico rang it off the crossbar on that 2-on-1 with Bratt. #NJDevils
New Jersey Devils GOAL! 🚨🚨🚨🚨
Cody Glass (5) scores on a wrist shot with 07:37 remaining in the 3rd period.

About time goalie interference was called after the Sens have been running Markstrom all night. This is a huge opportunity. The #NJDevils PP has to take advantage here.
Penalty: Brady Tkachuk is called for goalie interference (2 minutes).

If you could use a cathartic and constructive dive into the #NJDevils recent struggles give this a listen. There’s a very well considered trade proposal by @timwuud.bsky.social that could give the core jolt and transform us. It reminds me of the savvy and wily moves Lou made for us in his prime.

Given the last five games I’ll take a two goal period with a 2-2 tied game going into the second as a positive despite giving up two on the PK—the bar is pretty low these days. Consider it small progress and build on it by tightening up defensively and finding the back of the net again. #NJDevils

Despite Timo’s late goal that was a disastrous period by the #NJDevils. We couldn’t convert on our many opportunities. We had very costly defensive breakdowns & didn’t get situational goaltending to stop the bleeding. That said we’re still behind only two. Get an early one, lock it down & chip away.
New Jersey Devils GOAL! 🚨🚨
Timo Meier (9) scores on a wrist shot with 00:28 remaining in the 2nd period.

Who else but Mr. Clutch. This really brought the crowd to life. Time to build off it.

…And just like that a Capitals win bumped them into third and knocked the Islanders down into Wild Card 1. With how tight the Metro is this season you really need to make sure you keep pace and get the two points. If you’re going to lose make sure you do it extra time & not regulation. #NJDevils
After the Nemo & Nico OT heroics the #NJDevils are back atop the Metro. A Canes loss to some team across the Hudson bumped them to second and the Bruins beating the Isles kept them in third. You love to see it. It’s was an extra nice night for the Devils.

Nemo the OT hero on a sneaky back door play from a beautiful cross crease setup by Nico. Happy the #NJDevils wore the Blues down in OT and got the two points. I’m also really glad Markstrom was able to settle down from the second on and shut the door especially during that four minute PK.

Thank you Nico. We really needed that PP goal to help get back on track. Use it as a springboard to a strong second half of the second. This was not been a good period for the #NJDevils

He’s fighting it tonight and Binnington at the other end is feeling it.
When Markstrom starts I pretty much expect the other team is putting up three. It’s a tall order to have to potentially put up four or more to get two points. #NJDevils

Timo has been feeling it lately and is heating up. I like that he’s driving and making a living around the net. But more importantly I love that he’s finishing his chances. We really need him to be a goals leader with Jack’s injury. #NJDevils

I also loved how the #NJDevils stood tall, had each other’s backs & took no shit from the Wings when things got nasty in the third. That banding together & us against the world mentality is something you can use to snap out of a funk & rally behind.
Bank the two points & let’s build on this boys.

Based on the metrics & stats the #NJDevils didn’t deserve to win tonight. There’s a lot to improve on.
But Markstrom providing timely situational goaltending is hopefully a springboard to much better play from him. We need him to steal us some games over the next two weeks to weather our injuries.

It was far from drama free but the #NJDevils hung on and got a very needed regulation win.
3 takeaways:
1. We scored above expected & got opportunistic goals.
2. Markstrom saw a lot of shots & gave us timely goaltending.
3. We played tough, took no shit & stood-up for each other.
Build on this.

Hopefully he’s okay and that woke us up. We’ve been playing passive garbage hockey for a period and half. It’s like we’re afraid to do anything because we think it’ll lead to a catastrophic mistake. The problem is standing still and letting them take the game over is even more dangerous. #NJDevils

The #NJDevils need to get back to what we did in the first. Win your battles, play smart defensively sound hockey and stay patient for the counterattack opportunities which will come with the Wings having to chase. Let’s close this one out drama free.
