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

I’d argue that while the game was ugly, seeing Schmid play that well is more important than the loss.

 

[HBK27]

I'm only worried because #29 is coming back

That could really put a dent in us

Especially if Vitek struggles and they start giving him a ton of games

Enough about Blackwood already. Geeze.

 

[jkrdevil]

Team was gassed after the PP. I’m not sure the wisdom of chasing the Islanders game as much as they did pulling the goalie and playing the top guys so much trailing by three. Then only playing three lines on the front half of a back to back. Just no offensive energy tonight.

We are now approaching a point where things can spiral.

Schmid should be the starter right now until he has a stinker. He's had a fantastic start to the season.

 

[Saugus]

If we lose the next 3 will you be concerned?

Well that is getting very ahead of yourself. We could lose a few more in a row, but it's unlikely.

Barring several of our players having turned into total pumpkins, we'll break out of the slump soon enough.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Well that's annoying. Final score doesn't reflect the flow of the game at all.

Flow don't mean shit if you're losing .... don't look good going forward... this is a different team than the one in November

And suddenly it's 2021-22 all over again.

Remember when Pete DeBoer didn't know how to coach and Scott Wedgewood was a lousy goalie?

Oh get outta here with this TRASH

You were doing the same shit last year with David Rittich

And you REFUSE to even acknowledge it when I call you out on it because Rittich SUCKS and your FALSE narratives

Wedgewood is 30 years old and yet this is the first year he was signed to actually play in the NHL. Let that sink in.

Were you jocking Kinkaid for having a good preseason game against us?

 

[guitarguyvic]

They looked a fraction off to start the game, then by the end of the second they look gassed. Who could have predicted that would happen when you shorten the bench for 5 straight periods on a back to back? Surely not anyone who gets paid to make those kinds of decisions.

 

[PWiz30]

Honestly, last night bothers me way more than tonight's game. Gotta get back on track on Thursday though.

 

[youryeah]

Well this game is over on to a six game losing streak I can see it coming

don't be that guy

Yeah, I'm not making a GDT anymore.

 

[Saugus]

Learned the hard way on closing out periods is important

Should have learned that long before now. But now maybe the lesson will stick.

Third period is totally different if they started it tied.

this dude doesnt post for 2 f***in months then comes back when they lose a couple

get lost

 

[Emperoreddy]

With the schedule getting tighter and tougher the rest of the month, it absolutely feels like we are on the cusp of a death spiral.

 

[JK3]

They need to nip this in the bud ASAP, some stuff I don’t like has been creeping into their game for a while now.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Weak game, weak stretch…

Huge opportunity on Thursday to blow the doors off the Flyers and get back on track.

That said, this team — with what they’ve proven to us — shouldn’t lose to Scott Wedgewood. Unacceptable.

 

[Devs3cups]

don't be that guy

It's always the same people. They want things to go wrong to say "SEE I TOLD YOU WE SUCKED". Weird phenomenon. Their prerogative though.

 

[FinnishDevil]

To me they look bit tired. Not just physically since its a back-to-back but also mentally. I think they need a mental reset around the holiday break however many days that is, probably not many. Just appreciate what youve done so far and what got you here and reset. That goes for both the players and coaches. Gotta start doing the little things 100% again and work for every inch.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Bratt has to eventually break through

Will the Devils be playing Chicago or Ottawa again any time soon?

That game was last week. I really hope they aren't still tired.

Need someone not named Jack or Nico to get going

 

[Dylan9z9]

don't be that guy

What guy ? The one that tells it like it is?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Well this game is over on to a six game losing streak I can see it coming

some of you guys must be miserable human beings

 

[Cheddabombs]

Yeah, I'm not making a GDT anymore.

I hope Ruff blames you in his post game presser
