GDT: Dallas Stars (16-8-5) @ New Jersey Devils (21-5-2), 7 PM, MSG, BSSW

If Ruff doesn't trust Boqvist to this extent then he can't be playing.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Fitz and Ruff after tonight

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Our in zone coverage and breakout passing is so terrible. We're gonna get exposed hard if we don't change something. If we don't immediately get the puck out we're very easy to hem in.

Some of our guys cherry pick heavy, it's hard for dmen to break out when our wingers or centers are leaving the zone early to catch teams. It's the pros and cons of this system.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I feel a devils penalty coming on.

 

[JK3]

Nico line not having a great night.

 

[BostonDevil]

So - Just got home and shocked that Haula and Mango haven't gone on a scoring binge yet.

 

[njdevils1982]

Hughes on for Mango

YES!

 

[NjDevsRR]

Fitz and Ruff after tonight

LOL

 

[Blender]

I would believe you if you told me Johnsson wasn’t playing

I missed the first 15 minutes but haven't even noticed him.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Dallas is really coming on now. They’re good.

 

[Dialamo]

Fitz better be working on a SpaceX launch to jettison Blackwood into the Sun. Schmid needs to stay no matter what.

If the team reaches out to Elon Musk thru twitter, he may actually make it happen publicly for more attention.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

They look like they don’t know where the puck is. Looking the wrong way and passing without any accuracy.

It's all a symptom of poor positioning and anticipation. When you're a half step behind everything feels panicked.

 

[Killing Joke]

The Hischier like is straight up ass tonight

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Hughes with a muffin that would even embarrass McLeod

Don't say things you can't take back.

 

[My3Sons]

Third line getting hemmed in with Hischier losing faceoffs

 

[JimEIV]

Bratt has been real quiet for a while now

Exactly my thought. Their transition play has to be perfect in order to be effective. When its not perfect we get hemmed in. This is definitely a systems issue

 

[The Wumpus]

"Bahl blast"

 

[njdevils1982]

I missed the first 15 minutes but haven't even noticed him.

6 shifts of just there.....he will not help win this game (or other ones)

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Ugh Miles.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Brendan Smith shouldn't see another second of ice time with how Bahl's been

 

[Saugus]

Bahl has been excellent at getting tippable shots to the net tonight.

 

[Hisch13r]

Literally no reason for Smith to see ice with a healthy D group.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Dallas is really coming on now. They’re good.

Fantastic team. No weaknesses.

 

[Hisch13r]

Brendan Smith shouldn't see another second of ice time with how Bahl's been

Should've been this way since camp where Bahl was head and shoulders above Smith. Need a win so this holds
