The Devins

Kudos to Joe and Mike for some really clutch play of late.  I think we'll miss these two Seniors more than we might appreciate. Joe has great hands around the net -- reminds me a lot of Tim Kerr from the Flyers years ago.  Joe seems to score every goal either off a rebound or on a deflection. I can see him garnering attention as a free agent this season, as it's not easy to find guys who have such a knack around the net.  As for Mike, he seems to be getting his shots on net much more frequently this year, as he's not just blasting away with slapshots; rather, he's using the well-placed wristshot that is either being tipped (usually by Joe) or leads to a good rebound opportunity.

I was surprised no one followed-up when I posted in February ... any takers now?

I'm really not looking for a pat on the back (well, maybe I am :-D); but I just think that Joe Devin, especially, has not received his due this year.  Clearly the team MVP.  I imagine that given the scoring touch he's developed this year, as well as his decent size, that he'll get signed by some pro organization.

"It's a great program, a great atmosphere and an Ivy League education. It was between Northeastern and Cornell. With no scholarships (at Cornell), it was a tough decision, but we're very happy with what we did."

Wow! That's real commitment! Kudos to the Devins!

Wow! That's real commitment! Kudos to the Devins!

And also to their parents, who periodically grumble good-naturedly about the bills. :-)

A nice pro contract for one of their kids should satisfy their grumblings. **]

Nice look into the crystal ball, but I didn't see anyone predict that Joe would be flattened by his teammates after the goal on Sunday.  I love that video.::popcorn::
