GDT: Devils @ Golden Knights - 8:00 PM - MSG

[Emperoreddy]

Vegas clogs up the neutral zone and is smothering. There’s hardly any open ice out there. We need to keep earnestly defending, be patient and bury one.

They need to play this 3rd really smart. We played and traveled last night. Vegas didn't and this is the period that usually shows.

Yep--- and I imagine the same post could be made on the Vegas board and be equally true.

99% of the league would be an upgrade over 24-25 Erik Haula

Im too sentimental-- I cant get it out of my head that somewhere she has parents who love her.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Greetings from Vegas! Good vibes but the arena is a tad small IMO for NHL.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Back to back against a good team that was rested they are at least hanging in. You expected they’d be winning after two? Score aside if the poll question was whether you’d expect to be tied or losing after two my guess is the majority would have said they’d be losing.

Wow losing is ok with you I guess. ... I wouldn't call not scoring a goal after 2 periods performing well ... maybe you can say Markstrom is playing well.

I don’t know if it’s injury or he’s just flatout cooked but Haula is not even an NHL caliber player at this point. He’s an absolute liability. I wouldn’t be surprised if Fitz makes a deal for Donato. It would be such a major upgrade.

 

[Alex NJD]

Jake Evans is annoyingly streaky but his underlying numbers have been better then Haula all season. He would be an upgrade

Evans, Donato, ROR? whoever is on the market. Hell Zubrus at 46 years old could play as well as Haula rn

The smell of Deboer still hangs in the building - it's throwing some of our guys off.

Arguably that blackhole in the lineup is hurting them more then anything else. You need a third line that can contribute or the top 6 is going to get match uped into oblivion.

Team seems destined to be shutout after not scoring on either that 2nd period scramble and then whatever happened there.

I saw Zubrus in person in October 2023 at the Habs Devils game in Montreal. He is in excellent shape and looks 15 years younger than his actual age. I'd sign him tomorrow if I could.

 

[Bleedred]

I have no idea who we're acquiring this year that could help us score more.

There's about 4 forwards that should be healthy scratches.

 

[HoliksGhost]

I don’t like the call

 

[NJersey]

Welp

 

[Killing Joke]

Keefe is pissed

 

[BostonDevil]

Jack playing D burns them

 

[JimEIV]

Shit

 

[Bleedred]

Team is beyond offensively inept. I don't think this is a Keefe thing, as it wasn't a trend at all in Toronto.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I missed the penalty - was it legit?

 

[Forge]

$1000 says the first PP goes to Vegas.

Ding ding ding

 

[njdevils1982]

bullshit

 

[Killing Joke]

That’s game. f*** Vegas scumbag team with home cooking reffing

 

[Saugus]

Man that sucks. Good defense most of the game, they get a PP and immediately score.

Number is 1% too low
