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

[Emperoreddy]

Jack frustrated, bench still short. Not sure this one is going to end well

 

[NJDevs26]

Just comparing Dougie Hamilton, a guy who got a 7*9 deal with Zacha who may well be playing overseas in a couple years is a stretch

 

[Dylan9z9]

McCloud can kiss my ass

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

McLoad has no offense

 

[Emperoreddy]

Where is McLeod going?

 

[My3Sons]

the top 6 should be some combo of Hughes, Hischier, Bratt, Mercer, Sharangovich and Tatar

move Haula down where he belongs and figure out the rest

I could make a case for Zetterlund as well

 

[Saugus]

McLeod might be the one guy on the team with worse hands than Haula. Why wouldn't he just shoot there?

 

[FinnishDevil]

McLeod line has been their best tonight and thats a problem.

 

[Blender]

McBust at it again.

 

[Emperoreddy]

A wild Boqvist appears for his two minutes of ice time this period

 

[Jets012]

As someone who has missed parts of some of the last week or so worth of games why did Zetterlund get demoted?

Felt like the team was moving better and more balanced when Mercer was on the 3rd line and Zetts was playing with Tatar and Hischier

 

[njdevils1982]

7th shift!

 

[Bleedred]

I'm just about done with Haula

I haven't closed the door on him, but there needs to be some kind of crazy market correction in the last 50-something games that are left.

He'll probably score more goals next year, but it will be below his career rate in all likelihood. And he'll be 32-33 and likely worse overall than he is this year.

He's the kind of player that if he really has a terribly low goal output year, you could kind of see him going unsigned by an NHL team and bolting to Europe to play.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Non finishers too many on this team

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

He sucks defensively. But I guess sharing my opinions isn't allowed. Remember when I told you Zacha sucked and you said that was nonsense?

bro if youre going to come in here puffing your chest about one call you made, youre going to have a bad time. No one gives a shit.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Just saying, if I wanted to get paid $10M a year, and my team was down a goal, I'd try to put a shot on net and not the outside of the cage.

 

[Bcap88]

Would have liked Mctrash to crash the net there

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Non finishers too many on this team

It's fine if they can keep getting the volume of shots they were early. But if they don't get 35-45 shots a game, they will struggle to score against good teams.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Let's wait until there is 1:30 left so we can run around like idiots with the goalie pulled

 

[Normal Devil]

It would be nice if McLeod would shoot the damn puck.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I'm going to walk into work tomorrow yell the sky is green and when I get obvious blowback for being objectively wrong I'm going to respond by saying my co-workers love the echo chamber.l

Claiming that Hamilton sucks defensively isn't some objectively false statement. Literally every team who he's played for have said the same thing.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Great pass there by haula, close by mercer.

 

[Bleedred]

McLeod might be the one guy on the team with worse hands than Haula. Why wouldn't he just shoot there?

That's the biggest difference between him and Haula.

His hands were never there, hence the multiple stupid long goal droughts in the NHL.

Haula's hands are just probably gone.

5:58 .... lindy will be asked in the post game presser about ice times

 

[JK3]

Cmon gotta get more than one on Wedge.
