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

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Siegenthaler is the one flailing around like a useless turd. And it should have never even come off the wall with less than 10 seconds left.

Who unnecessarily iced the puck?

Hamilton is ****ing trash I hate having to watch him every night.

 

[Dylan9z9]

I didn't see the first, thought that was a pretty solid period against another good team. Shitty goal to give up. Keep playing the same way and hopefully our goalie comes up with a few more good saves than theirs in the third

Don't bet the house on it

 

[jkrdevil]

I don't see this score holding

We're either gonna tie it soon or they're gonna run away with it

Pete will pull his team back

 

[Bcap88]

This team is really situationally stupid

 

[Cheddabombs]

Should've stayed away from here man. People are gonna want to blame my double GDT but coming back after not posting since before the streak is the biggest jinx transgression possible.

Don't try to sneak away from the double GDT jinx!

 

[Hisch13r]

Haula is in that line because they don't trust Jack to take faceoffs. Putting Sharangovich on that line doesn't fix that problem

It's a problem that doesn't need fixing.

 

[MVP Zacha]

Are we going to have to start another Fire Lindy chants to get us going again???

If he keeps playing Haula with Jack, yes. He is nothing more than a 13th forward.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

So Lindy's blendering the forwards again?

What was wrong with Tatar - Nico - Big Z?

Or Haula - Jack - Mercer ?

The problem is what you do with Bratt. He is going to have to slot in on Jacks line. Then Mercer has to slide into the bottom six and he's actually been playing really well. Or else you put Bratt in the bottom 6, but I don't see them doing that.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

again I dont really know why the coach is obsessed with playing 9/10 forwards on the 2nd night of a back to back in mid-December

just roll all 4 lines dude. These guys are gonna hit a wall.

 

[devilsblood]

Its a

This is definitely a different team than we saw the first 10 games or so. They have been creeping closer and closer to this each game. I don't know if it's regression to the mean or they are just gassed or the coaching sucks or they got cocky or what. But they have been getting progressively worse for several games now.

Its a little bit losing an edge after a great start.

Its a little bit teams getting up for games against us.

And probably a little bit being a tired. Its not easy playing full throttle all the time

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Only reposting this to try to reignite the team.

 

[Devs3cups]

Don't try to sneak away from the double GDT jinx!

I'm 100% sneaking away from it. We're playing great and then Guitarguyvic and Jim come back and it comes falling? You're gonna blame my double GDT? REALLY?

 

[NJDevs26]

Haula is in that line because they don't trust Jack to take faceoffs. Putting Sharangovich on that line doesn't fix that problem

Then eat the 40% face off percentage, it’s getting tiring prioritizing the one second in the face off dot at the expense of the other fifty seconds of a shift for a guy that’s basically a rich man’s McLeod

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Damn it fan douche, I wanted to see the end of the Whitney Houston trailer.

 

[guitarguyvic]

Should've stayed away from here man. People are gonna want to blame my double GDT but coming back after not posting since before the streak is the biggest jinx transgression possible.

 

[Dialamo]

I need to read some advanced stats for some copium!

 

[Whaddagoal]

again I dont really know why the coach is obsessed with playing 9/10 forwards on the 2nd night of a back to back in mid-December

Yup. Dont know what the deal is. Is Ruff losing his marbles...?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Powerplay and the late period goals are digging this team into a losing streak, 5v5 they've been fine. Not sure what that clusterf*** late was.

 

[Cheddabombs]

 

[Azathoth]

Tatar-Hischier-Zetterlund
Bratt-Hughes-Haula
Sharangovich-Boqvist-Mercer
Wood-McLeod-Johnsson

Seems obvious

 

[NJDevs26]

If people think this is bad wait till the losing streak gets to four after the Torts gang grinds us down again the way they did the first two games this year (only being saved by Schmid in the second)

 

[Bleedred]

again I dont really know why the coach is obsessed with playing 9/10 forwards on the 2nd night of a back to back in mid-December

just roll all 4 lines dude. These guys are gonna hit a wall.

I commented on this last night as a worry after I saw the ice times.

I don't understand why they did that on the first night of a back to back.

 

[Saugus]

Haula is in that line because they don't trust Jack to take faceoffs. Putting Sharangovich on that line doesn't fix that problem

I think the more sensible solution would be to help Hughes get better at faceoffs, rather than lashing an anchor to his leg. But maybe that's not possible midseason.

 

[BostonDevil]

Need finishers still

For all the problems about last minute defense, scoring 1 goal against Wedgewood is not conducive to winning hockey.

Can't afford to carry Haula-McLeod-Boqvist-Mango when we're also getting nothing out of Bratt and Rango recently.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

My blood is still boiling from that goal and seeing sky is falling shit on here is too much. Time to step away.
