GDT: #17 Devils vs Capitals: Groundhog Day Part I

[njdevilsftw]

@ToddCordell: Henrik Tallinder has been burned BAD at least a few times tonight and he's played more than Adam Larsson. Okay then.

 

[njdss4]

They are showcasing him alright. At the cost of the team and his value.

Exactly. This is just making him less movable. At this point I doubt Lou can get rid of him without buying him out.

Can we bump the ''Henrik Tallinder is better than you think'' thread?

I need a good laugh right now at feed me a stray cat's pro Tallinder commentary. The truth is he's sucked most of his tenure with the Devils. This is nothing new.

I loved seeing Kovalchuk shove Chimera's ass to the ground at the end lol.

If this doesn't scream please play well so we can trade you, nothing does. Cordell seems as mad as we are lol

 

[Devils Dominion]

Better get points tonight. Next game is at Noon and they will be half asleep til the third.

 

[MasterofGrond]

We've been the better team 5v5 tonight. I don't like to blame the refs, but I'm one more phantom call away from throwing my remote through my door

Wouldn't even bother me if they weren't blatantly missing calls against the Caps, too. And I ****ing HATE being the REFFFFF$$$$$$$$$$$$ guy.

kill me

 

[Devilsfanatic0421]

We don't have nearly enough FW depth, no Zubrus, no Carter (Poni in) and it wasn't very good before the injuries.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We were still struggling before that happened. We were pinned for a minute. Teams PK needs to be better. Especially taking into account BS calls.

It would improve with Fayne, he has been one of our best PKers, but ya it is overall slumping. Still first one was Tally getting coned, second Gionta gets body slammed, no call and the play breaks down. Not saying the PK is good right now, but it is salvageable.

Tally's TOI is inexcusable. More then Larsson? IF this is showcasing him we might not even get a 7th for him after this crap.

But his Corsi/Fenwick numbers demonstrate that.........

all i see is a traffic cone, forgive me.

I think we need a Foster-esque "Tallinder must go thread"

 

[NJDevs26]

Exactly. This is just making him less movable. At this point I doubt Lou can get rid of him without buying him out.

Another few games of this and they might have to do what the Habs and Rangers wanted to do with Gomez and Redden, just send him home and buy him out at the end of the year.

Tallinder was objectively useful for most of his first season here, at least compared to the rest of the D.

Since then it has gone downhill a little, I admit.

 

[battlingBard56]

Refs need to stop setting picks on our players. And if they continue to do so, I hope we make them pay the price for it. If they get in our way, knock them on their *****. Bad enough the Caps are getting away with some questionable stuff, we don't need the officials being the Caps sixth player. I don't care if it's accidental or not, it's disgusting.

but...but...DAT CORSI!!!

 

[Desert Devil]

Please win this period. Tie it up and get a point. Then this **** show can end and we can put Fayne back in.

 

[NJDevs26]

Seriously, someone needs to post the split of Tallinder in the lineup last year and out of the lineup. It was almost as bad as the split with Langs in the lineup and out/off the team the previous year.

The second half of that year yes. He was awful the first half. So was everybody though so I didn't hold that against them.

 

[Bleedred]

In before feed me a stray cat's answer is ''He's having some rough luck right now''

 

[Devils Dominion]

Anyone see what Zidlicky did to get called? I did not but saw Brouwer level Gio that was uncalled.

 

[engy]

Why are people solely targeting Tallinder? Yeah he hasn't had a good game but the other defensemen hasn't been great either. We get you hate him and have some personal prejudice against Henrik; that doesn't mean he is ECHL level nor does it mean he has no value to the team.

Gimme a minute I'll find it for you.

 

[captainscott]

I wonder if every board is so chicken little, and I think that was a bad period too but still.

Well i tend agree i complain about some lineup.moves but all in all their play has been ok and they could easily win this game....but this lineup.of dmen is too slow and deficient at moving the puck...if they they r showcasing tallinder they just hurt their cause ...

 

[Status Quo*]

Someone photoshop Tallinder's face where the girls face is and the Devils logo over Hawaii's logo.

 

[apice3*]

Over the last 12 games, we have been on the PP more than the opposition ONCE - the 1st win against the Penguins when they took like 100 penalties in the 3rd period.
