GDT: Devils @ Flames - 10:00 PM - MSG

[Bleedred]

I think Edmonton was the toughest game on paper, but you never know how things actually shape up.

''We struggle with heavy teams and they give us fits'' will be the narrative if we lose.

I actually didn't read much of that after the Washington game (are they even a heavy team anymore though? Probably heavy because everybody is old and the metabolisms are slowing) and we won both the Columbus and Islanders games, so that didn't have to even come up.

 

[MauDevils]

This one is house money for me. I don't hate the Flames like I do with Canucks and Oilers and I'd still be thrilled with a 2-1 trip. So just make it entertaining at least.

I think it has to do with Vancouver being a much bigger market than Calgary, not quality of game.

That's probably true.

There's a lot of times where I notice Vancouver is the big Saturday night game while they're playing a pretty underwhelming American opponent, while Calgary or Edmonton have more exciting teams in town and they aren't the ''Game of the night'' or whatever.

This'll probably be a boring af game, and Canada'll blame us for it

I'm just as surprised by Lucic even being in the NHL at all anymore than being in the top-6 of an NHL team.

It feels like he's already 37-38, which is probably because he's been in the league so long, but it's probably more because it's been so long since he was actually a productive player and he declined way early and way younger than the average player does. He's been shot since before he even turned 30. He's big, he's slow. No surprise this type of player grenaded at 28 years old.

Maybe Not So Fun Fact: The last time Lucic scored? He had a goal in our 6-3 loss in Calgary on March 16.

Daws was in net for 4 goals and then Gillies got 1 (plus an EN).

A cleared puck took a weird, impossibly unlucky bounce off the stanchion straight to Andersson and Lucic got a deflection while every one stood around puck watching. It was very March 2022.

That was his 10th goal of the season. He’s gone 31 games without one since.

Really Not So Fun Fact: That was Brett Richie’s 30th game and he scored his 1st goal of the season.

He must of started feeling it after that because he scored two games later and even got 1 more before the season ended.

Shots 38-23 Devils, "boring trap is killing hockey".

Let's gooo, good morning Devils fans! Close it out today..... get it done...

(And.... Why is this game so late 10pm? Isn't Calgary in mountain time, what gives, another ceremony day?)

Yes it’s the Hockey night in Canada showcase game .
I am just about to leave to drive to Calgary
Go Devils Go !
My and my brother are sitting 4 seats over from the Devils tunnel to dressing room .
Somewhat close to the Devils bench

I am taking bets now to get me to do this at the game when I’m there :

That was actually at a Flames game . I have to continue my tradition and do it again tonight ! It’s the National game ! I have to ! I’m close enough to the glass where I think I can make it that far before security grabs me .

It depends on what cable packages you have and or what region you live in for what the Hockey Night In Canada late game is .

This is the first season in awhile where I am nervous (excited ) before a game. Before it was mkre “Please don’t get blown out and look bad , just try hard please “
or “As long as Bratt Hughes Mercer Nico get points and improve their game , that’s what matters , not wins or loses “

 

[Eggtimer]

Any other Devils fans in Canada going to the game? I’ll buy you a beer there.
Im going to make a sign for @Bleedred or @My3Sons @Guadana @Guttersniped @StevenToddIves @Its Always Sundstrom some of my favourite poster on here

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I gotta be honest, I don't really care one bit about the result tonight. Of course we always want a W, but even if they get blown out I am not going to care one bit.

Lets just get outta this one healthy and re-group back home.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Any news on who is backing up VTEC?

I care but I’m not going to get as down as I normally would. We cannot expect to win every game (although it looks right now like we can lol) .
The Flames will be desperate . They are on a skid and Sutter will be losing his shit on his players.
If anything , the Flames will come out and play hard for the first few minutes. We have to hold them off , play our game and I think our speed will give them massive problems . They are not a fast team at all.
They habe their lines all mixed up so I’m. Kt expecting much from their forwards. Their D are pretty damn good .

I hope Tanev is still out . Without him , they are way different and have to pair up way differently.
Hes their glue back there. He was out last game and I’m nkt sure if he’s back in tonight.

I can’t wait. I haven’t watched the Devils play live for a long ass time.

I’ll be watching for you. What will the sign say? I’d go with “Ben Lovejoy Is Better Than Weegar!!”

 

[DerekDevils30]

Looks like no Tanev for the Flames. Markstrom starting.

lucic belongs in the top6.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

He's very beatable right now. LIGHT HIM UP!!!!

vancouver has it all. elite goaltender, #1d, selke level c and QUIETLY one of the best forward group.

 

[Eggtimer]

Lines are back to “normal “ for them. The Kadri line has been very good but the Lindholm line has been crap.
No Tanev is huge. We are going to decimate them with shots.
Markstrom has been shaky all year so I am confident we can light him up. That or he will finally piece together his first excellent game and stop 50 shots.

Maybe Not So Fun Fact: The last time Lucic scored? He had a goal in our 6-3 loss in Calgary on March 16.

so two empty net goals.

Was that the game where four Devils were in a five foot radius “swarming” the puck against the boards and a Flame was wide open for ten minutes watching TV on a chaise lounges in the slot before the puck inevitably got sent to him and he had to put down the tv remote and his pint of Hagen Dazs (mint chip of I recall) and finish his text before putting his gloves back ion and pushing the chaise lounge and tv out of the way so he could play the puck and score against the goalie who was curled up in a corner of the net in the fetal position sucking his thumb and muttering over and over to himself “the swarm makes a lot of sense I just don’t get it which is a me problem”?

Vaqueros - the real cowboys of North America. LMAO

Vaquero
The vaquero is a horse-mounted livestock herder of a tradition that has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula and extensively developed in Mexico from a methodology brought to Latin America from Spain. The vaquero became the foundation for the North American cowboy.
