GDT: Devils @ Canucks - 10:30 PM - MSG

[Devs3cups]

Another strong period!

 

[Tiredswede]

With Mercer and Nico on the pk, Meier hasn’t really gotten into the game

 

[Alex NJD]

Phenomenal period

 

[PWiz30]

Thank dog the Devils are taking care of business tonight. I'm pretty sure Yankee fans are a minority on this board but that was the single worst loss I've ever experienced as a sports fan and I've experienced some pretty crushing losses between those two teams.

 

[Hisch13r]

Through 2 periods looking like the best game of the year. They had games where they dominated more but thoroughly controlling the game against a really good team is definitely the most impressive game they’ve had so far

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Haula has been a menace.

 

[NjDevsRR]

So they pretty much played a solid game for the last 11 periods. Keep it going

 

[Whaddagoal]

With Mercer and Nico on the pk, Meier hasn’t really gotten into the game

Yeah, but he's quieting heating up, at 5 goals already.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Phenomenal period

I know fans that were already giving up on this team. Lol

 

[Guttersniped]

I wasn’t that enthusiastic about the fight but I’m here for the pissy animosity between Haula and the tiny Canuck.

I like Garland a lot. Good player to have, but we have enough shorts on offense haha

If you are going to do that, you need to do what Haula did and kick his ass then continue to torment him

This game is reminding me of the game vs. the isles on the road early in the 22-23 season where we flat out destroyed them. That was probably one of the most decisive games I can recently remember (regular season wise).

This game has a similar feel. And palat was dominant in that game too.

[Comparison Ford]

Love the game so far. If im being nitpicky, there have been a couple questionable decisions by Hamilton but overall the 4th goal doesnt happen without him.

Would love to be able to play our bottom 6 as much as possible this period. Need to close this one out and make it decisive.

Thank dog the Devils are taking care of business tonight. I'm pretty sure Yankee fans are a minority on this board but that way the single worst loss I've ever experienced as a sports fan and I've experienced some pretty crushing losses between those two teams.

A team that has won 27 Championships loses Game 5 of the World Series?

The Devils loss to San Jose last December was worse than that.

Sure it sucks now but that wouldn't be in my top 30

 

[Devs3cups]

NST has us at under 50% xGF% share at all strengths and slightly over 50% at 5v5 and even strength.

I like looking at advanced stats, but this is proof that sometimes context is needed and that they don't tell the whole story lol.

This game is 2 years to the day of what is THE most decisive game I can remember which was the game against Columbus where they like couldn’t even the puck. This game doesn’t quite reach the level of either of those games but still very good

I mean 5v5 SVA has us over 60% lol. There’s some context added right there and more closely reflects reality

Canucks are explosive offensively too. Very impressed with the attention to detail tonight

The 7 goal game at home? I remember that one too, was there! Yeah that one was wildly dominant too.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen a worse inning than that top of the 5th. 5 unearned runs, blunder after blunder. I feel sick even thinking about it.

 

[Hisch13r]

Yeah the 7 goal one at home vs the Jackets in 22-23. Not to be confused with the 8 goal one at home vs the Jackets in 22-23

Fair enough, didn't look at the Score and Venue Adjusted metric, good call! With that being said though, it shouldn't be this close, especially 5v5 imo. Canucks were on the PP a lot, so I can at least understand why all strength is closer.

Yup yup.... I'm with you.

I think the reason it isn’t more lopsided is we haven’t really gone overboard with what we’ve created. We’ve limited them heavily, controlled the puck well, and capitalized on our chances but it isn’t like we’re creating grade A looks left and right
