GDT: A Dano and Pepe Vacation: Devils @ Flames 4pm MSGSN

[SJinNewJersey]

Colorado, Kings, and Rangers win tonight and they move to 2nd in the metro on Point%.

I just can't root for the Rags. Against my religion.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Probably near the front of the Selka race if not for the missed time.

Then again he probably wouldn't be because our goals against aren't great, but that's little to do with him.

Jack's and Nico's cases for the Hart and Selke got improved with the time missed not worsened.

Root for no 3 point game tbh which will now happen....

 

[Emperoreddy]

6 wins out of 7 games.

Very quietly going on a heater

I don't think Vitek was anything amazing this game. The team played so much better in front.

100% agree, very average and stats backed it up, 2 GA on 2 xGA.

 

[My3Sons]

Give credit to Vitek. He wasn’t perfect but he gave them the proverbial chance to win and they did it.

 

[HersheyBob27]

So Schmid tomorrow and likely Smith in for Bastian. Feel good about tomorrow’s game. Tough opponent and they came out slow today but I think they’ll come in stronger tomorrow given the opponent.

Why would they put smith in after a penalty free game like that

 

[Devilsgrl35]

were never out of it to begin with

We were, but we are points wise mathematically equal now. Just trying to stave off the doomers. We haven't hit our stride yet.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Because Lindy is a jackass, it's the root of 95% of our problems

 

[Hisch13r]

This would’ve been so infuriating to be on the other side of. Nice to luck out a win

 

[Emperoreddy]

Vitek was good enough, but his inability to absorb pucks and hold them is still a major issue and is kryptonite for how we play our game

 

[Normal Devil]

Solid win .. up to 3rd in the Metro now. Let's keep it going.

This man rocks. Anyone who doesn’t value him or his game needs to get their eyes checked.

Look at our record with him vs without.

 

[VoidCreature]

Feels like we’ve gotten some breaks the last two. It’s nice, we had gotten almost none coming in.

Nico's 7th game back, coincidence? I think not.

Yeah, Seattle and Calgary deserved at least a loser point with their efforts. I was hoping they woke up after the Seattle game with a convincing thrashing of Calgary but they're the Islanders West where they'll just grind you the entire game fo death.

That's a .04 beauty.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Why would they put smith in after a penalty free game like that

Because I’m guessing that was the plan all along. They like having him on the 4th line and as defensive cover. Back to back, get some rotation and Bastian in the lineup and then put Smith back in against the tougher opponent in EDM.

Could be wrong but that’s my assumption.

 

[Hisch13r]

Very nice of the rest of the team to not take a penalty with the best PKer out of the lineup

That's what I was told in 96. Then we NEEDED them to beat Tampa to help us out late in the season, but they lost to them. We also missed the playoffs and Tampa got in. I didn't at all feel bad for those who had too much pride to root for the Rangers in the last week of the season against the team we inevitably lost a playoff spot to. Serves them right.

But we probably don't need to really root for the Rangers against Washington right now, because like I said, they seem to be working their way out of the playoff race, while we're working our way even higher.

If we did miss the playoffs, I'm pretty confident we won't be losing out to Washington. I think Pittsburgh has a better chance than them. At least their old guys don't look like a bunch of senior citizens filling up a waiting room at the doctors office like the ones in Washington do. I like the Flyers chances right now better than the Capitals. Same goes for the Islanders.

Jack's and Nico's cases for the Hart and Selke got improved with the time missed not worsened.

You're right, but since they're still running on limited games compared to the rest of the league, that's probably currently cost them, but it will help them later.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Also, yeah. You probably need Smith tomorrow for the PK, forgot about that point tbh

sal saying the same thing that the team stepped up for him

 

[NJDfan86]

Thought that was Vitek’s best game in a while - looked much more fluid with way better puck tracking.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Did Vtec just say "shit happens?"

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

But how do we randomly trade him for Saros?!?!?!?!??
