Pre-Game Talk: Devils game 5 (Game is Thursday 4/27)

[Chalfdiggity3]

You said the same thing last year when they were down against the Penguins.

WHen did i say the same thing last year? If i did i really dont remember that.

Last year i believed in this team bc they always had the fortitude to come back and play hard.

It's the same people!

If they win this series, I want an apology.

I'm not letting it go like I did last year. I'm making a list.

[Filip Chytil]

On the ice they glide with grace,
The Rangers in their blue and white lace,
Against the Devils, they knew they'd face,
A challenge with their speed and pace.

But the Rangers had a plan in mind,
To be physical, leave no one behind,
Forechecking hard, they'd be unkind,
And with their goals, they'd leave the Devils blind.

Akira Schmid, the Devils' goalie strong,
Knew he'd face a battle all night long,
The Rangers' shots would come in throngs,
And their goals would prove to be his lifelong song.

Game after game, the Rangers' power grew,
Their strategy worked, it was tried and true,
Their opponents had no clue,
Of what the Rangers could do.

In the end, the Rangers claimed the prize,
Their slow skating had come as a surprise,
Against the Devils, they had been wise,
And their fans cheered them to the skies.

So let us hail the Rangers' fight,
Their physicality and foresight,
Against the speedy Devils' might,
They emerged as champions with their might.

We as fans, as a city ARE embarrassed by their game 4 performance. They damn well should be. I dont think we will see spirit from them,. THis is who they are. A team who plays games like its practice.

Ok, I get it.

But they just didn't cruise to a 107 point season with no effort.

And the reception after games 1 & 2 was pretty positive if i recall. Everyone was thinking Cup or bust at that point. Didnt look like a practice effort to me.

Things can change pretty quickly, both ways.

WOw, Mika at the circle. What a novel idea. Took the caveman long enough to realise it but finally here we are.

This whole time I thought the game was today

Let's see if Caveman idea number 2 getting Trouba off pp #2 happens but I doubt it. Kind of a shame to have a weapon like Tarasenko on the 2nd unit with no one to get him the puck from the point.

Just leave Fox on. Or at least one of 10/88 could go down and bring some playmaking to that sad PP unit.

You are not the only one. lol.

 

[Fitzy]

I mean GG knows his ass is on the line here so he's gonna do whatever it takes.

Torts got fired after a 2nd round exit (Thought I didn't agree with that decision), I can't imagine how quickly GG is gone if we are out in 1.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Looking forward to a more specific game plan to counter the Devils adjustments and a little more desire to win puck battles.

I think they have to dump it in with a purpose. Make Schmid leave his net. Gotta get in on the puck and support each other, body their D more. I think they’ll adjust.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Need post game flamingos, preferably a flock.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Guys Gallant doesnt do gameplans or make adjustments in game. This is who caveman Gallant is. Drury has to take away all his toys in order for gallant to even ICE the right team. Everything is pond hockey for them. There is no system in place.

Been saying the same thing. No reason to have 3 distributors/puck carriers on PP1 and none on PP2. I think the easiest solution is moving Trochek or Kakko to PP1, mostly for puck retrieval purposes and putting them in the bumper, and moving Panarin down to PP2. Obviously won't happen for what are likely ego purposes.

Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

I have become comfortably numb
