GDT: Broons @ NJD, TNT, MSGSN

[Emperoreddy]

Ice is almost always shit in our building. It's annoying.

Honestly that was a lazy and lifeless period that lead to boring hockey. Not terribly interested in watching more of that tonight.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Team looks pretty bad again.

How many games into the season until it’s the team’s play isn’t acceptable?

Going into this season: The roster looks strong!

Results of the season: They’ve had like 10% of their games where they’ve looked strong.

It’s almost entirely Jack being off and Timo being a nonentity. McLeod looks great, Nico line is the most effective line in the NHL.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Hank stating fact.

What he say?

 

[None Shall Pass]

The Meier shot from the high slot, he blockered it into the corner. You know what an actual NHL goalie would do

Glad we have established that a guy who is .932 on the year is a better goalie than Vitek. I was worried no one would notice that.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I agree, if we continue not scoring at all it will be likely that we lose this game.

We need both. Well, we need 3 things: The goalie needs to make the saves he should, the offense needs to get over center ice with possession, and the defense needs to like, defense. It's pretty bad when none of those three things are happening.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Can't believe the fanbase that saw Marty Brodeur bail out a HOF defense at times + Cory Schneider bail out garbage lottery teams is defending Vanecek and Schmid (at times) torpedoing this team's season because they look like sieves.

 

[BostonDevil]

I will take TNT, with the exception of PK, 100 times out of 100 over ESPN. From announcers to between periods, all of it.

 

[NJDevs26]

Maybe the team just isn't good. I dunno. I don't want to think that, but I can count on one hand the amount of times this season they looked good. Even their wins are not confidence inspiring.

This team hits all the golden oldies of classic underachiever starting with the on and off effort, and the inability to keep any good run of form going

 

[Camille the Eel]

No matter who is in net, behind the bench or players lost the bruins always seem to play consistently winning hockey and structured defense

Bruins are a good physical and fast team. Look a lot like Vegas in style of play and in balance.

 

[Dylan9z9]

I never heard so many excuses in my life

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Glad we have established that a guy who is .932 on the year is a better goalie than Vitek. I was worried no one would notice that.

Glad we established goalies can make saves when things break down in front of them as well and not expected a GA like 30% Devils fans think isn't possible.

 

[Devils731]

Gloucester County.

Xfinity is available in your area so I’m guessing you’re in-market despite not having MSG available through xfinity.

 

[NJDevs26]

Can't believe the fanbase that saw Marty Brodeur bail out a HOF defense at teams + Cory Schneider bail out garbage lottery teams is defending Vanecek and Schmid (at times) torpedoing this team's season because they look like sieves.

Who’s defending them by pointing out they had a shitty start (again) and a shitty shift around the shitty rebound?

 

[Richer's Ghost]

What he say?

That Vitek battles hard but his technique is average. Talked about that goal hitting his glove then ending up dropping in front vs. moving the catching mit if you're not sure you're going to catch it to toss the puck away from the crease.

 

[Bcap88]

It’s just annoying that the first period is always a dud thus putting them in a hole quickly

 

[Dylan9z9]

No matter who is in net, behind the bench or players lost the bruins always seem to play consistently winning hockey and structured defense

are you saying we don't have a structured defense

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Glad we have established that a guy who is .932 on the year is a better goalie than Vitek. I was worried no one would notice that.

I’m glad we’ve established why people are upset that our goalie gave a free goal to team that’s impossible to score or comeback against.

 

[tailfins]

Wow - really impressed with Hank on TNT. Maybe he should take over from Lindy.

 

[Devils731]

It’s almost entirely Jack being off and Timo being a nonentity. McLeod looks great, Nico line is the most effective line in the NHL.

The team barely looked good when Jack was on since it was the PP carrying a heavy load.

Seriously, 5 on 5 this team has looked bad the majority of the year. They look like this period most nights with either the PP bailing them out or turning the tide once the other teams gets a couple.

 

[youryeah]

Hank stating fact.

what did he say? I don't get the TNT feed

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Who’s defending them by pointing out they had a shitty start (again) and a shitty shift?

Shitty starts are just who they are with Lindy as coach, I don't expect them to change until he's gone at this point. But that being said, but would kill the goalies to possibly keep them it in until they have their legs? It's like we expect these skaters to consistently bail out these goalies.

 

[NJDevs26]

That Vitek battles hard but his technique is average. Talked about that goal hitting his glove then ending up dropping in front vs. moving the catching mit if you're not sure you're going to catch it to toss the puck away from the crease.

Hopefully Fitz is watching, the goalie coach might be as big an issue as the goalies themselves

 

[Guadana]

Wow - really impressed with Hank on TNT. Maybe he should take over from Lindy.

Can we hire him instead of Rogalski at least?

 

[None Shall Pass]

The goalie is .910 on the period. That's above NHL average. Again, he sucks so much ass, but looking at the period, in which we were thoroughly outplayed, he's not the problem.

Where are our $7 and $8M forwards when we need a goal? Where's a coach motivating the team to not lay an egg in the 1st? Changing up the o-zone strategy since it's currently not working?

Nah, the goalie who gave up one goal while the other team doubled up our shots is the problem.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Carter also stating the obvious - don't play track meet hockey vs the Devils, you play physical and they get pushed around fairly easily.
