GDT: Devils @ Golden Knights - 3:30 PM - TNT, MAX

[JimEIV]

How often does Jack go an entire period without a shot on goal?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Get that snack in Nico

 

[Oneiro]

Berube is a walking cliche dispenser.

 

[Whaddagoal]

He has some dandruff

At least it glitters.

I've gotta think Allen is actually psyched to be here, despite having us on a no-trade list, which was almost definitely made back when the team was a joke and the Canadiens were coming off a cup finals.

You'd have to think he's psyched to be here for next year where we have a chance to do something. Montreal really isn't there yet.

Allen has discussed why he had us on a No Trade list.

He didn’t want to go to a different team with two goalies and be a temporary 3rd.

But wait, why were the Devils –– a team desperate for stability in goal –– one of the seven teams Allen wasn’t interested in?
<cut>
“No, it was interesting how that all unfolds,” Allen said. “You sit down with your agent, you sort of play things out. It was nothing about the Devils or the city in general, it was just situations where I didn’t know if I could influence my future. I thought they had goalies already signed here long-term. Obviously things have changed a little bit. I think that’s the way that I played it out. Where are places I could play, and things have changed, so now obviously I get an opportunity to play again. It’s been a weird year for me, so I’m just looking forward to playing a few games here down the stretch and finishing the season.

“It’s about how I could have longevity in this league. It’s situational based. The way (Akira) Schmid played last year in the playoffs, they had Vitek (Vanecek), I never thought there would be a spot here. There’s a lot of things to it. I’m really fortunate they came calling. It wasn’t a tough decision.”
<cut>
“To understand what the philosophy was from the Devils’ perspective, that fit into my perspective on-ice and family-wise too,” Allen said. “It gives me an understanding of where I’m going to be next year with a team that’s got a super bright future. We’re still trying to claw our way back into the playoffs here, but I understand how good this team could be playing against them, watching them and we’re going to battle here down the stretch.”

Why newly-acquired goalie Jake Allen had Devils on no-trade list

Newly-acquired Devils goalie Jake Allen had two unique hoops to jump through before arriving in New Jersey.

He was one of the best players for Vegas in the game back in January.

Luckily for him Logan Thompson was our best player and was better for us that night than Vitek was for Vegas.

I'm talking this game a lot of those shots on Allen either would have found the back of the net on Vitek or his famous rebound to an opposing player would have also found the back of the net.

 

[KingsHockey24]

The fact Holtz has only played more TOI than MacDermid pains me inside.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Can't wait to watch more drop passes for two minutes.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lmao the drop pass almost killed us.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Disgraceful isn’t a strong enough word for this PP

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Why is Luke Hughes on PP1?

and, If your a rotational goalie, NJ should be a great place to earn a starting position

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Hughes Inc. hitting those turnover quotas.

 

[Azathoth]

PP is such an abomination right now

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

The bar is so low right now for this powerplay that it's in hell

 

[VoidCreature]

We lose every puck battle, and we give up more chances than we create in our own pp

This has gone on for 2/3ds of the year how can it not be fixed

 

[Dylan9z9]

A total mess pathetic and disgraceful

 

[VoidCreature]

I think if we played the whole game on the pp we would lose 2-0

 

[Bleedred]

Nice power play. They had the best chances on it.

Kiss my ass Green and Taylor.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Luke Hughes is a liability

 

[Bleedred]

Other than the coaching, which is now as bad as any point of the year, because of who is in charge, the bottom 6 is a wasteland.

MacDermid is what he is and it isn't good. Tierney is a spare forward anymore, which is why he's in every night now. Nosek has been a complete and utter bust of space junk.

I think Lazar is the only guy I want back out of the bunch. I even miss Bastian at this point.

And Brendan Smith is a complete and utter anchor. Bahl in the role he's in has also been the same, but not sure why Smith is a mandatory to play spot at this point in his career.

The only answer one can finally arrive at is the inmates are running the asylum

gary?

 

[Guttersniped]

Why is Luke Hughes on PP1?

Nemec directly caused the 2nd SH breakaway so not sure what you watched there.
