I’m Palat’s strongest solider but man did he look washed tonight. Guy has been complete ass. He won’t be here for long with efforts like that.

Is it actually surprising that the Canes looked quicker with their siesta to start the season and us playing three in four? I don’t care about the Keefe back to back sound bite, that matters.
That fourth line had a xgoals percentage of 5, corsi of 12.5 at 5 on 5 and were on the ice for 2 goals

He's been done since game 1, he's suicide bombed every line he's been on this year. Bastian needs to go from the lineup too. Would've been nice to have Labanc right now

Canes are just that much better of a heavy team, just frustrated at how much of an organized machine they are
Couldn't tell if we were behind the puck today or if the canes are just that good on the jump

I'm not so sure about that, but that would have helped if we could have like I keep saying emptied the tank and went all out in the 3rd, rather than still giving them shifts. And they were HERPES all night anyway.
Scratching him probably means MacDermid if I had to guess. So I don't think I back that right now.
Yeah, he's quickly becoming my most unfavorite person associated with the Devils right now, other than Dave Rogalski, who I'll no doubt be beating on even if Markstrom wins the Vezina.
He's nothing but dead weight right now. We are beyond the ''Well, he's got good underlying numbers though'' with him. You need to get some scoring out of a guy that's making $6 million. He wasn't producing enough, and that was even before the 4th line demotion. It's a sin that we're likely not even gonna get one 40 point season or even a 40 point PACING season out of him as a Devil. They gotta dump him after this year. If he scored 35-40 points this year? Maybe you try to get one more year out of him.
But he's legitimately looking like the worst contract on our books since the decline of Cory Schneider. And we got a Vezina caliber season out of Schneider on the first year of that deal. I know we haven't had many bad contracts in the last 10 years, so he doesn't have much to compete against, but you gotta get some scoring out of the guy you're paying $6 million a year for, and he hasn't done that as a Devil. It's not like the guy started to decline by year 3 of the 5 year deal. He wasn't all that good the first two years of it.

Definitely true but whole line was ass. Lazar is usually not bad but he wasn't good tonight and Nate was getting abused.

Two positives is Markstrom was very solid, and Jack is starting to awaken.

Hasnt Palat always been considered a bit of a 'Jimmy Butler' type? If youre familiar with basketball
Butler is notorious for half-assing the regular season and then going off in the playoffs

Ya, I'm not assuming we are as good as them at this point.
I hope we. I hope we are better actually, but it's pretty much a 50/50.

Thank you for this information Killing Joe. Are you a Devils fan? Why did you come to this board for this game? Did you ever play this game of hockey. Yes, players have played back to back games all their careers . That doesn't stop them for being more sore or more tired than when having a day off between games. Please consider that point. Back to back excuse has been an excuse for the history of hockey. Have a good day .

The Sheldon Keefe Era Begins
Me too. Not sure how long we can go like that.... Not sure if he is truly toast or something else is up.
The Canes 1st and 3rd goal were a bit fortunate for them. The tip was random, and the misplay by Noesen/Dougie that lead to that 1st one was also rando. Off of a miskick off skate to bounce right to the Cane ready to rip a shot.
The 4th line got hosed today overall.

I was expecting the kid pair to be far worse on these charts.
Dillion and Dougie really had a rough game. Tough to win when one of your pairings is getting caved that badly along with one of your lines.
Keefe probably should have shortened the bench sooner, but guess he didn't want to gas the guys out on a back to back with another game coming up
