GDT: Devils @ Avalanche - 9:00 PM - MSG+

[Blender]

Mess of a shift.

 

[Mgd31]

Burakovsky would be nice for the Devils next year

 

[crashline]

I guess that's what happens when you task forwards with guarding the slot.

Good Toronto timeout. Ruff wasn’t taking one

 

[Bleedred]

Bratt's ice time tonight is also a joke.

Can't wait for Ruff and company to get shown the door.

 

[My3Sons]

At least play the song long enough to get us to George’s solo.

Second goal is a good example of why I hate the the wingers/forwards play defense in this system.

They play low to supposedly take away the slot and sacrifice the half wall and point pressure to do so. Then due to the scrambling nature of the “pressure” defense the defenders give up the half wall, point, and don’t cover the slot well.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Dougie is virtually useless right now

Against this COL team I’m not sure it matters.

 

[Dialamo]

Dougie Scamilton

 

[Dylan9z9]

They need to sit Dougie

 

[DerekDevils30]

Gritty Greer

 

[Mgd31]

McLeod is out there every other shift

 

[Dialamo]

Fear the Greer!

 

[Dylan9z9]

Shoot and hope a miracle happens

 

[Hollywood Nosebleed]

Burakovsky would be nice for the Devils next year

I feel like Nuke will get signed over Burakovsky by the Avs. Nuke, Copp, and Buraovsky would probably be my top 3. Nuke is everything we need, but Burakovsky, and Copp would allow us to roll Boqvist at 3c, but also insurance if he doesn't keep up his strong play

I don’t like the system but Mercer was just standing there for a while & that’s not in any system.

which solo?

 

[DerekDevils30]

Some life on that shift

 

[Blender]

Nico so hot right now.

 

[theoptimist]

McLeod plays every shift at 110% and does nothing

 

[Bleedred]

McLeod is out there every other shift

He certainly is.

His ice time was more than Nico's at one point, then Nico edged him out by a few seconds as of a couple minutes ago.

Once again, he's trying to avoid his THIRD goalless streak of at least 25 games with a goal tonight.

That's a f***in joke for a guy that's only even played 154 games in the NHL.

And he has another goalless streak of 16 games.

So that's four different goalless streaks of at least 16 games, and THREE different goalless streaks of at least 24 games.

sounds like a slogan to encourage sperm bank donations

This is why people bitch about McLeod.

First round bust aside, playing ALL THESE MINUTES and doing jack shit with them. If he were only used in 4th line ice time, he wouldn't be a problem.

Between that and his STUPID goalless streaks which are beyond insanely ridiculous at this point.

That sums it up
