GDT: Animal House, Bruins @ Devils, 7:30 TNT

[Emperoreddy]

I mean we’re 4 points ahead of the Islanders and usually if you can’t beat good teams you won’t make the playoffs

Isles are playing Columbus tomorrow so going to be only 2 points come Friday

 

[Eggtimer]

This goes on for two weeks you have to either fire Ruff or look to trade Bratt

“Should” happen but won’t . At the very least make a trade. Doesn’t have to be Bratt but tradig Bratt would be a massive wake-up call. Fitz has to do something or it will be too late .

Well it sure as hell did nkt show on the ice that they were mad . They didn’t play angry at all. Being all pissy in the room after a loss means F all. Let your actions speak for you .
They will miss the playoffs if somethimg doesn’t change… as in NOW . No more excuses about their play, just figure it the F out …
If I’m Fitz I’m talking to SJ right now about Meier and not hanging up the phone until a deal is made.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Another month of this and you might as well just trade Graves and Severson and make a last second run at Bedard

Double shift the shit out of Bratt too! Play Blackwood to death and now we have a shot. Oh and extend Lindy.

 

[Devils090]

They let their captain get murdered on the ice...but just as long as they are causing a ruckus in the locker room!

Yup and teams know we won’t respond so it’s gonna keep happening

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Lou would fire ruff after 2 more losses.

Nah he would've traded for Michael Ryder again by now.

SJ has no urgency to move Meier now, there will be more suitors at the deadline as teams jockey for cap space

 

[engy]

I have no idea what that was about.

I don't know if he was trying to sell a call and just threw the puck away.

I can't understand that.

Hischier was going up the wing and Mcleod was trying to pass it to him.

 

[SKNJD9]

We'd be on Ponikarovksi's 6th stint as a Devil

 

[Bleedred]

I do think Boston is the cup favorite right now

I think the Lightning are probably a first or second round exit this year. They could come back next year though.

Colorado could do it again, but they badly need help at the deadline.

I don't think anyone else in the west is doing it, but I still think Edmonton can't be written off just for how good their two stars are. Look how many points they got in the playoffs last year.

I don't trust the goalies in Vegas, if that's a big surprise.

 

[Eggtimer]

We are finding ways to lose games now. Score we were winning games a bunch of different ways (come backs , slow starts , beig outplayed ) , we found ways to win regardless .
Now we find a way to lose .

[Emperoreddy]

We lose on Friday we are most likely out of the top 3 in the Metro before January even starts.

Lose Sunday and we are most likely outside of the playoffs entirely by like the 5th

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Yeah but, he's producing and we could use that in our top 6. Teams make trades all the time with losing teams and improve their team by doing so.

Last thing the Devils need is an undersized scoring forward. They already have two players to fill that role.

What they need are the heavier players to get inside the defense - and as the announcers discussed during the broadcast players like Palat and Bastian should make a difference when they return. Tyce Thompson was also encouraging in his return and the line of Mercer-Boqvist-Sharangovich looks like a keeper (Wish they would have seen more ice time).

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

They have exactly 0 wins against good teams this month. 0.

You can't spin that as anything other then awful and bottom feeder status

Who gives a shit? They just outplayed the best team in the league twice. You think they can’t beat a good team? Stop watching then.

 

[JrFischer54]

I’m not big fan of Lindy but what are you firing him for? Because a bunch of guys not known for being snipers can’t cash in on the gazillion opportunities they are getting?

Exactly people think getting rid of ruff (which again will never happen) in season will automatically turn these guys into finishers. Just because these guys played at a career year pace for a month they think that’s the norm? Come on be better

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Oh no. Does the season end soon?

Cant be picky - goals are goals!

 

[FooteBahl]

I’m not saying to fire Lindy now, but he can take a hike if Brunette is looking for a HC job next season

 

[Emperoreddy]

Oh no. Does the season end soon?

If we fall out, we aren't getting back in

 

[Billdo]

Who gives a shit? They just outplayed the best team in the league twice. You think they can’t beat a good team? Stop watching then.

But they haven't beaten a good team... immoral victories are cool and all but this team has the same record this month as they did last December.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Hischier was going up the wing and Mcleod was trying to pass it to him.

Thats what i saw at first ... But then they showed the birds eye view replay of it.. And it was a horrible horrible decesion.

There was zero chance he was making that play from his ass or knee or whatever he was doing. There guys clearly in the path between him and the guy he was trying to get at.

Trying to Make a play from on your side cross ice out of zone ...? Wtf was he thinking! He deserves a benching for that shit.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They did not outplay the Bruins tonight. Thats pure homer glasses.

Lol bad teams can’t beat most of any other team let alone good ones.

You guys realize almost every single one of these losses have been decided by one goal not counting empty nets? That there have been key injuries including missing the entire second pairing D for the last two games that were against the best team in the league? And despite this they still out chanced and outskated the bruins and lost those two games by a differential of -2?

Just because this team isn’t the juggernaut they fooled you into thinking they were early on, doesn’t not mean they are the opposite extreme. It’s like you guys want your doomsday takes to be proven right so badly.

 

[Bleedred]

I think Vanecek did enough tonight to take back control of the ship as this team's number one.

There should be no goalie controversy here.

Completely fine for trading bratt and wouldn’t think twice. There’s gotta be a legit goal scorer out there is meier one? I dunno but bratt isn’t getting it done here.
