Interesting analysis from Mike Kelly about the Devils taking a more simple approach offensively. There is more than enough offensive talent that they can score without selling out to do so. Better off limiting the other team’s chances and letting the natural speed and skill be the difference. It’s translating into wins so far

Who knew the ruff way of letting the other team get 5-10 2v1 breakaways a game wasnt a recipe for success!
I like the thought process. We have players that can turn it on.
New coach. Surprised something change.
It’s pretty clear that Keefe wanted the team to lock down their defensive play before changing anything else. Now that there’s some coherence in the d-zone, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing a little more neutral zone offensive plays.
You mean Lindy’s system of “expect everyone to make high end plays while leaving the goalie twisting in the wind and be surprised when trying to force offense results in defensive breakdowns” was the problem the whole time and we’re better off running a simpler game that allows offense to develop naturally? I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked
