Dammit. Goddammit. This smooth skating, late blooming son of a bitch just isn't going to stop until he finally sparks the interest of all Devils' fans, is he? As if putting up 12 goals and 32 points from the left side of the blue line halfway through a lost season for an offensively starved farm team wasn't enough of a cock tease, now Jacob MacDonald is choosing to put his full range of stick skills on display on a relatively significant stage? It was difficult enough to proceed with caution while viewing his lower level success through a realistic lens so as to avoid a Reid Boucher-esque level of disappointment when he kept pumping out production from the big club's most noted position of need. But after watching him go viral for dazzling the hundreds and hundreds of fans in attendance for the AHL All Star Game I'm going to have to put my expectations through a cold shower to make sure they stay grounded. I'm desperately trying not to get sucked in to considering Jacob MacDonald a viable NHL prospect who is merely 24 years young, but he's not exactly helping matters by rocking a backwards hat while completing silky smooth one-handed shootout moves that you'd be as likely to see from the Devils' current defenseman as an in-game double back flip.
