GDT: Devils @ Caps - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Hisch13r]

Good defensive positioning by Mercer. If he can round out his defensive game he will easily earn that big contract he so desperately wants

Then Jim can die happy.

 

[Patrik26]

Don't worry, I'm sure our crack broadcast team is right on it

Just saw him.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Then Jim can die happy.

Jim will never be happy

 

[Bleedred]

Gonna be a nailbiter.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Jack is off when he's hampered by injury and when he's playing his first games post surgery. If he isn't better at the 20/25 game mark I'll be concerned. 4 games post surgery. Don't get me wrong he hasn't been good to start the season, but there's context.

There’s always excuses but he always goes through way too many/long of these terrible stretches where he’s just not skating

Sportsnet just ended the broadcast of the game.

Stop the count?

 

[Puckclektr]

Sportsnet just ended the broadcast of the game.

Frustrating.

 

[njdevils1982]

Then Jim can die happy.

That's the only thing I want in life

The way Kovacevic name is pronounced drives me crazy. There is no way it is pronounced that way, with his father from Montenegro.

I know a guy from Serbia with the last name Kovacevic and the pronunciation is very different.

Let's get through these final 2 minutes without giving up a goal.

Injury and surgery aren't baseless excuses in my book.

No Leafs. No care.

 

[Hisch13r]

That was almost scary

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Bratt ENG.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I think we just have to get used to the idea that Jack is a streaky player. When he’s on, he’s unbelievable. When he’s off, we see shit like this and hope others can carry us.

I’d love to see him find more consistency.

I don't think he's a streaky player at all. He was pretty consistently really good before his "issues" started

 

[HersheyBob27]

Tatar will never take a hit to make a play

i'm from croat background... parents and grandparents... but i born here

 

[Bleedred]

I hope we don't just keep icing this.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

I mean he was getting away with this stuff in the NHL too. Now he's not.

Not he wasn’t. The way he plays the game when he’s playing well and not is night and day different. When he has success it’s because he’s flying around the ice playing through his skating. When he isn’t he’s floating around dipsie doodling and trying to make cute plays.

 

[pulkit1989]

Not sure why Tatar pulled back there. He could have passed it this led to 2 scoring chances

 

[MasterofGrond]

Remember when Ovechkin, the greatest goal scorer in history and (probably) a top 15 player of all time had a 65 point season in his prime?
