GDT: Devils @ Avalanche - 10 P.M. - TNT/SN1/SNE/SNO/SNP

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Yeah we don't need someone like Reaves and we don't need a goalie either

If you truly believe that Ryan Reaves is what this team needs, I suggest finding another hobby

 

[Bcap88]

Wellman and latard with the assist

 

[jkrdevil]

Bahl is terrible tonight

Whole unit is sad after the rest from CHI

I think Bahl is playing hurt after blocking that shot in the first. He’s been bad.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Some of the worst puck management by the team in a long while.

Not one decision has been the right one

 

[Hisch13r]

This team has great potential, but they're clearly still in their learning stage.

The window has just opened and maybe we need to lower the expectations a tad. The final pieces to the puzzle are most likely not all there yet.

This year has had HUGE 21-22 vibes

 

[Killing Joke]

Need a reset at home and to get healthy

This team sucks at home

 

[Bleedred]

I can almost see Bahl healthy scratched for Cal Foote after this.

I really hope not, but I can see it.

He’s earned a scratching, it’s just that there’s no one serviceable that isn’t already dressed.

 

[Tiredswede]

why do I keep seeing smith, Bahl, Marino, siegs behind the opponents net time and time again?

 

[NjDevsRR]

This team sucks at home

Aight

 

[DerekDevils30]

Marino didn’t really help Bahl there either. Just casually watching that unfold

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

We need to upgrade defense so bad

Don't think many defense corps stand up well to NINE odd man rushes by the Avalanche.

 

[Forge]

He’s not having any kind of a spectacular game.

Three pucks through him, one hit the post.

that’ll probably do it.

There are plenty of games to lay at the feet of the goaltending. This isn't one of them.

The takeaway from this game in no way should be, "but goalie!"

Have to save that for a game where it's actually true

 

[Whaddagoal]

That last goal was a bit luck on bounce back to stick

 

[guitarguyvic]

I will make up my mind about Lindy once and for all after this stretch of games without Jack and Nico. If you can't get this team to play responsibly as a unit under these circumstances, it ain't ever going to happen.

My instinct is that this is indicative of what we will always have under Lindy. I don't have faith that he is going to prove me wrong.

 

[Devs3cups]

This year has had HUGE 21-22 vibes

Agreed. Still better imo, but the structure and goaltending have not been present.

 

[JK3]

Our team D and structure lmao if you could call it that is sooooooo f***ing bad.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Still time but ... Hope dwindles

 

[Emperoreddy]

I can almost see Bahl healthy scratched for Cal Foote after this.

I really hope not, but I can see it.

He’s earned a scratching, it’s just that there’s no one serviceable that isn’t already dressed.

He hasn't been right since he blocked that shot and went down the tunnel. He is playing hobbled and making poor choices.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Kinda concerning that most teams get right games have come against us offensively

 

[Richer's Ghost]

19 shots on net ain't cutting it either - they're playing like they were defeated before the game started

 

[NjDevsRR]

Our team D and structure lmao if you could call it that is sooooooo f***ing bad.

Need Miller and Nemec to get healthy. Having those two options would help to find some good pairings

 

[guitarguyvic]

Agreed. Still better imo, but the structure and goaltending have not been present.

Yes the major difference from two years ago is that they have more offensive fire power and individual talent dragging them into wins.

 

[jkrdevil]

It’s very clear tonight that they don’t have a bottom 6.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

They need a 2nd pairing Dman or to move Luke there already.

 

[Devils731]

4 guys on one side of the ice is the swarm. That’s literally the Devils playing the stupid way they’re told.
