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

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
This is such a typical devils game this season.

Tease, fail to score on generated offense, play safe most of the game.

Give up two deflections from far out..

Give up easy clears that lead to a sequence to a goal after losing faceoffs

Fail to score the gimmes.

They're doing what they did in October, no team can sustain what they did in December. December was clearly a blimp and what they can do at their ceiling, what they've shown out of the Christmas break is who they truly are this year.
teams figured out what they were doing any they haven’t been able to adjust.

instead of trying to generate offense on the rush like what has historically been this core’s strength, they just play a no event perimeter game. if you’re going to dump and chase you need a combination of skill and size. but all their players are one or the other and the lines aren’t balanced.

side note i f***ing hate palat, he’s actually getting worse
 
I dont think Fitz has done nearly as bad a job as some people believe. Think he has done wonders with Defense / and in net

But his forward moves to make us this much slower is my big worry. We went from the fastest team in hockey to middle of the pack and its ruined an identity we had
Spot on. Some of the criticism of Fitz I’ve read here is fair. A lot of it is just over the top venting.
 
We have some SERIOUS DEAD WEIGHT that's signed for next year

Palat, Haula, depending how you feel about Dougie. I don't think he's completely dead weight, just takes up a lot of cap.

Haula is basically 15-16 Ruutu.

Palat is maybe 13-14 Zubrus, which will be 14-15 Zubrus next year. He may already be 14-15 Zubrus.

Funny that this is probably the worst version of Vegas for the rest of the year. Assume the will pick up Rantanen, Boeser and probably McDavid at the deadline.

If he does anything, Fitz will add some beef to the bottom 6
 
If we don’t do anything for a trade , I’m done watching this year. No point torturing myself . This team as-is just doesn’t have it at all . It has three forwards and that’s it . Meier needs to pick it up and we need to get rid of the useless bottom 6. Mercer included . All of them are useless . Cotter is the only one that I don’t think is an absolute waste of a roster spot
