GDT: Devils @ Hurricanes - 7:00 P.M. - MSGSN2

Couldn't watch this one. What's the tldr?

Another game of god awful officiating in the becoming long line of god awful officiating. Carolina completely controller the game. Allen kept us in it hard the first 2 periods then let in a stinker at the start of the 3rd right after we went up 2-1. Pathetic 5 and a game on Timo gave them the lead in the 3rd.

Love Keefe

With our easier second half of the season, Devils can absolutely overtake Caps. Would be ideal to play a Penguins Bruins or Senators in round 1.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

would want to bump up what i put about Halkidis being an actual homer - 8-1-0 is crazy

Definitely needs to be investigated

What I’ve talked about recently is why I don’t like the matchup playing them in Carolina. The lack of depth and their ability to blanket our stars with last change really neuters us.

playoffs would be a 7-game series though, and as someone mentioned they don't have the best goaltenders

@Nubmer6 thoughts?

I think they would probably go with Kochetkov if it comes to that, but that’s not much better.

Kochetkov would definitely play over them. I think they'd hope Andersen is back, but he can't be relied on. He's hurt more than literally any goalie in the league I'm pretty sure.

 

[Forge]

Just an FYI but that's not an official Devils account.

I actually didn't know that until you said that. Damn.

We said this two years ago though

Bunch of cousin-wives had a great time watching shooty puck tonight.

More games played means our remaining schedule is going to be less bunched up.

Plus with a lot of the tougher games behind us, we absolutely have the runway to pile up the points and win the division.

No reason to be all Doom and gloom over our chances right now.

 

[guitarguyvic]

Why was there an AHL ref officiating this game?

 

[Emperoreddy]

We are better then we were two years ago

 

[NJDevs26]

We are better then we were two years ago

Well Markstrom's better than the hope and prayer we had in goal then

necas got hit by meier. no penalty. necas rolled around on the ice in agony and was helped down the tunnel. “ooh! 5 minute major.” necas out on the ice for the next face off.

Ya it's in that accounts bio but they make it look as official as possible to try to trick people. I don't think the Devils have an official blue sky account

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

frustrating game.

Can't say Carolina didn't deserve the win - they did.

But the Devils did enough to deserve it too. Bad officiating, but also outshot by almost double.

Either way the ice was shit.

Meier's knee trajectory never moves on the play. Here is the opposite angle.

crazy in that play Necas changes his knee position twice from when Meier started his glide (where he ended up never changing his knee positioning). what did the refs see in the video review to call that a major

oh well at least this was a split series, refs sucked but they need to play better when they're in Carolina but take care of business in the 2nd half of the season and they may be able to get first seed or at least home ice advantage

1.) We don’t know what the final rosters will be come playoffs. We will have more depth. 2.) As others have pointed out there are a different team home and road and the season series bears that out. Finish ahead of them and get home ice (or even better win the divisions and not have to worry about it in round 1).

 

[Dylan9z9]

Weird.

That don't surprise me at all like Insaid they need to be investigated. Bad refs are bad refs but the league don't seem to care ...

Was our quality of competition very high in the first half?

More of that in Utah next year!

Caps have the 2nd easiest schedule in the league the rest of the year. We’re middle of the pack.

We said this two years ago though

we'd have a real goaltender around though (assuming we have the same markstrom we've been seeing)

also have a diff coach
