GDT: Devils @ Buffalo - 1:00 PM - MSG

[Bleedred]

Like every other single Devils year but 2022-2023. They start off well and fall on their face.

Our GM is no where to be found as his shitty roster construction continues to shit the bed game after game.

I'm not so much on him for not making a move right now, but I've been critical of him and what he did to overcorrect in the offseason.

The team's scoring depth isn't good enough.

That said, missing Nico shouldn't mean getting beat by this humpty team and that humpty team.

Jack and Bratt giving up all the goals tonight and not scoring shit.

Not gonna win when the top line does that.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

I’d say the Timo Meier trade was the worst in sports history till the Luka trade

 

[Bleedred]

You could smell this L.

Humpty team? Of course you could.

Again, I never thought it would be this bad or worst game of the season contender.

 

[Dylan9z9]

This team can be great when they play solid defensively first then build on that offensively. They look like a bunch of randoms that have never played together right now and certainly aren't playing FOR each other.

Which makes them not a good team ... imo anyway

 

[Call Me Al]

half of me is glad that devils fans didn’t have to pay for this and the other half is disappointed that they can’t be mercilessly booed for this

 

[Cheddabombs]

The inconsistency from this team is insane

 

[njdevils1982]

good news: sabres have lost 7 games when scoring 4 or more

bad news: devils have only won once when allowing 4 or more

 

[Bleedred]

''I do like the way the Devils managed this period''

No, Bryce is wrong. This period was probably worse than 1st period.

Injuries or not, we looked like garbage most of the time since Christmas

Fitz has done a great job with contracts.

He has done a fine job not totally f***ing up most high draft picks (most.)

He has been horrific at building organizational depth at forward. He held onto Lindy too long. He waited way too long last year to address goaltending. He’s waiting way too long this year to address the complete dearth of NHL caliber forwards. He got a poor return for Toffoli last year.

His biggest deadline acquisition has spent 2.5 seasons of hockey in a Devils sweater acting like teenagers at bible camp: playing “get it so close but don’t put it in!”.

I have lost all confidence in his ability to build a stanley cup contending hockey team. The devils have been relatively LUCKY with health and just look at what these lines look like. They should embarrass anyone who actually believed this team had Cup aspirations.

The hamilton contract is awful. The palat contract is awful. The Dillon AND pesce contracts are redundant, and certainly some of that money should have been allocated to addressing the worst bottom-6 forward group in the national hockey league.

The Devils deserve better than Tom Fitzgerald.

 

[sabremike]

It's something I put in my stew.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Palat and Timo with missed opportunities? What a surprise

 

[Better Call Sal]

Missed the first period. Lucky me!

Sadly saw this period. What a cluster f*** in our own end on that last goal.

 

[IDEKWTM]

''I do like the way the Devils managed this period''

No, Bryce is wrong. This period was probably worse than 1st period.

North Korea type propaganda

 

[Shakir ONeal]

Team is mentally fragile

 

[Bleedred]

This makes the games against Anaheim and San Jose on that road trip look pretty good.

We've been down almost all game and are still getting outshot by quite a bit. We're not even score effecting them.

When he talks I hear a Chihuahua yapping.

 

[NJDevils17]

We are totally off the rails in here today

 

[Bleedred]

Didn't Keefe say the last 2 periods of that Anaheim game were maybe our two worst of the season?

I think we have a new winner for worst two periods of the season with these first two.

The 2nd period was horrible. I don't even think the 1st was as bad as the 2nd.

100% agree

 

[Bleedred]

When talks I hear a Chihuahua yapping.

He sounds like Ricky Ricardo/Desi Arnaz to me.

Ricky/Desi was at least funny. He isn't.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Oh no, couldnt watch this game tonight cause im in the city running errands.. too bad

 

[Whaddagoal]

Every goal had been the result of being weak as hell on the puck, just lame ass, stick fishing drive-bys.

The defense this game is absolutely atrocious. Mostly by the forwards, but the D is also just reaching and fishing.... Crazy bad game. It's why we are losing so far.

One may say bad luck with some bounces but the zonal defensive play is absolutely trash this game.

They are making Tage Thompson look like Mario lemiuex or Jagr.

He is moving around everyone and just dangling the puck all over this team.
