@Oregano_Dealer A COMPLETE MASTERPIECE! Hands down SHIFT OF THE YEAR! It was absolutely beautiful. In the post game presser Sheldon Keefe said it was "probably his favorite goal of the season." I can't readily think of another one that is even in the same stratosphere. It was so damn good I may make a video just about that. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@hverfisgata125 not sure if RUclips will let me post links, but Daniel Amoia has the entire shift posted on his Twitter. Uploading it on RUclips tho would be 🤌
Dude is a stud!! What a steal, doesn’t get respect he deserves. Consistent, stays healthy, gets bigger and more jacked every season. Great video Ace, brattman deserves the love. LGD!
That check to pass could be pivotal in Devils history. Hope the team dials into what a difference a surprise bump in the corner can make and more guys get serious about being difficult to play against! LGD
@GoodMenstruationAttitude A truly beautiful sequence. Hopefully we get that supercharged version of Jesper for the rest of time, and some more guys follow suit. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Jesper Bratt is a diamond in the rough, no question about it. In August 2017 he committed to playing junior hockey for the London Knights. During training camp that year, as we all know, performed good enough to make the opening night roster. The Devils never did send him to juniors, in fact, he’s never played a game in the minor leagues either. Now let’s look at this year’s stats: 13 goals, 28 assists, 41 points and a plus/minus of 9 through 33 games. Good enough for top 10 in the league in scoring. The only thing left for Bratter to do is add some hardware to his collection.
@redmikeletsgoamerica An amazing signing by Fitz indeed. This man is a beast for the Devils every night. I want to see him lift a Cup(s) so badly. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I’m not surprised about how good Bratts’ numbers are. He has been the most consistent Devils player since his first game. Always improving each season, both offensively and defensively. We aren’t even halfway thru the season and he already has 50% of the point total from the previous full year. He needs the “A” and the Cup needs his name on it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do win the Cup in the next few years, that he ends up the Conn Smythe winner. LGD!
@TravelinDevil76 He has been Mr. Consistency for the Devils for awhile. He is going to have a career year and hopefully crack 100 points. I would think he will get the "A" when Palat is gone. And hopefully his name is engraved on the Cup soon. I can totally see him winning a Conn Smythe. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
This is awesome Ace. More videos like this would be awesome too, your content is the best bud. Want to see you do an ultimate New Jersey Devils Dream team lineup of 4 lines, 3 defense teams and 2 goalies(we know the GOT will be 1, lol)
@wastedyouthcomicsactionfig850 Thanks! I may start doing some more. I will eventually do a video along the lines of the All Time team. The question is, are we using the players' careers, or their career as a Devil as the measuring stick?!? AKA, am I considering Shanahan and Jagr on their overall careers, or their time with the Devils?!? LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I just got into an argument with someone who is asleep and happy that Bratt is "finally" using the body. But in reality, with the exception of a Sam Reinhart, this dude has more hits than anyone that has scored more points than he has. Annnd only by 3 hits. The kid is a stud, my favorite player since he joined the team on day 1, and the best player on this team IMO. Lets fucking goooo Devils!!!!
@Ryyder64 Bratt is a monster! That play leading to Jack's goal (after the SHIFT OF THE YEAR) was nothing short of AMAZING. What a period for the boys. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@jasonbladzinski5336 LMAO I have been giving Bratt props for quite a while. Just not as pronounced as this video. (this was in the chamber) LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
"8x 1-year deals", I've kinda thought that whether hughes or hischer is hot is dependent on whether bratt is playing with them at least in prior years. being a play driver as a winger is impressive. I kinda wish I collected more bratt game worns. my collection is a bit more skewed to the captain.
@DerektheMotorider Bratt is a complete beast. I try to stick to 1 game worn per player. I collect the Devils as a whole, so having more than 1 per guy can get crazy. I have broken the rule for franchise legends though. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
The comedy that there were Devils fans that wanted to trade Bratt away because he was thought to be a one-dimensional player. What we saw in the last game is that a players game can evolve. 🤣 Bratt is dynamic, and you don't trade players like that away.
@captainmofongo584 I never "wanted" to trade him away, but I wouldn't have been against it for the right deal at some points. He is now COMPLETELY UNTOUCHABLE. Don't even ask about him, he is not available! What a beautiful play leading up to the Jack goal. I watched the entire sequence with the shift before several times yesterday. It was so beautiful, I may do a video on it. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@shaneconnors4074 I never loved them. It could have been much better with some tweaks. The best black Devils jersey of all time is the mid-late 90's Starter. Something along those lines would have been perfect. Hopefully one day. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I think back during the Brady saga in the summer, you said that you would be br willing to part with Jesper to #BringBradyToNJ . With the way Bratt is breaking out, would you still be willing to do so?
@stikfigzz I actually addressed this in a recent live. I was just so down on the team after last season, I was willing to shake it up. At this juncture, I would NOT trade Bratter for anything. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Kudos to the Devils for picking up Bratt in the 6th round, but to be fair, it might have just been luck. Let's take a look at that 2016 draft to see what I mean. 1st round (12th pick) Michael McLeod. 2nd round (41st pick) Nate Bastian 3rd round (73rd pick) Joey Anderson - like everyone else, NJ passed on Bratt in the 3rd round. Shame on them lol 3rd round (80th pick) Brandon Gignac -like everyone else, NJ passed on Bratt in the 3rd round. Shame on them lol 4th round (102nd pick) Mikhail Maltsev -like everyone else, NJ passed on Bratt in the 4th round. Shame on them lol 4th round (105th pick) Evan Cormier - like everyone else, NJ passed on Bratt in the 3rd round. Shame on them lol 5th round (132nd pick) Yegor Rykov - I don't need to say it again. Finally in the 6th round (162nd pick) Jesper Bratt. I can understand NJ passing on Bratt to pick McLeod. Even Bastian is understandable as he was somewhat known as a prospect. But those other guys didn't amount to a whole lot. One last note. In October of 2020, Anderson was traded to Toronto in exchange for Andreas Johnsson. In February 2023, Johnsson was included in the trade with San Jose that brought TIMO MEIER to NJ. Overall, it was a pretty good draft for NJ.
@frankcarlone5130 Most draft selections include an element of luck. Even moreso on late round picks. The Devils certainly got lucky with Bratt. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@jimgoodyear6756 I dislike analytics being the primary driver of decisions. With that being said, these are analytics that support what the eye test already tells us. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
dude I can't stop watching the big shift that led to Jacks goal. It's a masterpiece

@@Oregano_Dealer I was there yesterday. The place erupted like crazy after the big shift! We were going nuts! One of the best periods I’ve been at.
@Johnnjdevils45 I wish I was there. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
We need a link to the "shift of the year" like our life depend on it. I wanna spread it everywhere.
@hverfisgata125 not sure if RUclips will let me post links, but Daniel Amoia has the entire shift posted on his Twitter. Uploading it on RUclips tho would be 🤌
It’s just insane that he literally gets better every single year. I don’t know if this dude has a ceiling.
@kram1art This year is the breakout. 100+ points or bust! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
One of my favorite things this guy said at one point was something along the lines of, he trains every summer like he’s on a one year contract.
@Dryflyonly86 Love to hear it. He has been a dog this year. What a player. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Still watching that shift… gets me absolutely torqued every time I watch it. LGD.
@mkchomponthis I watched it 5x yesterday. I may have to do a tribute video to it. It was THAT damn beautiful. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Dude is a stud!! What a steal, doesn’t get respect he deserves. Consistent, stays healthy, gets bigger and more jacked every season. Great video Ace, brattman deserves the love. LGD!
@Johnnjdevils45 Absolute steal and criminally underrated. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Bratt is a joy to watch, and his game is elevating my man gonna burst through the stratosphere
@djentleman7 He really is. What a stud. We need him to continue to play like this in April and beyond. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
That check to pass could be pivotal in Devils history. Hope the team dials into what a difference a surprise bump in the corner can make and more guys get serious about being difficult to play against! LGD
@GoodMenstruationAttitude A truly beautiful sequence. Hopefully we get that supercharged version of Jesper for the rest of time, and some more guys follow suit. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
MOST UNDERRATED IN GTE GAME
LIKE BRO IN MY OPINION HIM, HAGEL, AND THOMAS ARE THE TOP 3 UNDERRATED
@brendanplays3942 One of, if not THE most underrated for sure. Criminally underrated. What a draft day steal. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!

@chairmanofthecheapseats The main hardware he needs is a STANLEY CUP! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
how lucky we are to have the luck and ability to re sign him for the future let's go DEVILS
@redmikeletsgoamerica An amazing signing by Fitz indeed. This man is a beast for the Devils every night. I want to see him lift a Cup(s) so badly. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I love stats..... I can't believe they keep track of how many miles they skate, just found your channel, awesome job. TY, GO DEVILS !!
@johnrogers1876 They have stats on EVERYTHING these days! Welcome aboard and thanks for watching! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!

@runninwiththedevils I would go with in a Devils Uniform. I mean you can pick the Stanley Cup teams. Would be cool to see fantasy line ups.

He’s the most important player on this team hands down
@BrainCandyGraphics If it's not him, he's right there with Nico. Jack a close 3rd. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
He’s part of the top line for a reason
@coordinator3039 The man is a beast! LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Thanks for making this video after I called you out for not praising bratter enough.
@jasonbladzinski5336 LMAO I have been giving Bratt props for quite a while. Just not as pronounced as this video. (this was in the chamber) LET'S GO DEVILS!!!

@@runninwiththedevils LGD!!!
Been saying it forever. Bratt never gets the credit he deserves. An allstar player
@1markeriksen 100%! He is criminally underrated. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Bratt very well could finish the season leading the Devils in points.
@Christopher_Penc It will come down to him and Jack. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!

How many teams would give their number 1 pick for Bratt today? He's as good as ANYONE playing today!
@bobbyk3469 ALL of them! Bratt is a monster. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
PB&J would not be a thing without Bratter!
@ritterengine1289 For sure. I still haven't figure out who is peanut butter and who is jelly, lmao. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I am not a fan of the jersey jerseys. But markstrom looked awesome with black on black white pads.

5th round (132nd pick) Yegor Rykov - I don't need to say it again.
Finally in the 6th round (162nd pick) Jesper Bratt.
I can understand NJ passing on Bratt to pick McLeod. Even Bastian is understandable as he was somewhat known as a prospect. But those other guys didn't amount to a whole lot.
