GDT: Devils @ Hurricanes - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Camille the Eel]

Do need to learn how to salvage points out of games like this because they are going to happen.

Got close

Their go ahead goal with 40 seconds left at the end of the 2d period is the one you want back and that changed the whole game. We were trapped out there and gassed and I give them credit for exploiting that situation. That’s where the game changed.

Physically they did to us in the second period what we did to Utah yesterday. We were definitely lower energy and not as sharp as they were, however, back to back game traveling to their building and they are rested and looking for their first win of the season.

Wish Bratt hadn’t shanked that look at the wide open net at the end, or whatever he did to miss that chance. How did that not go in.

When our defense is fully healthy, he'll be a solid 3rd pairing guy. Just too high in the depth chart right now.

Siegs-Dougie

Split the kids with Kovacevic and Dillon for Thursday

 

[Better Call Sal]

Even with a rough effort, they were in it. There are still some obvious lineup moves that I think should be made. Move Timo with Nico, move Dougie away from Dillon.

I can’t knock Markstrom at all. He kept us in this one when it truly wasn’t deserved. We weren’t generating enough in front of him and it came back to burn us eventually.

4-2 through our first 6 is a good start. Take the next one.

Agreed. They get out of the 2nd tied and they probably get at least a point in this game.

That goal was a really tough pill

Just a mix of an old nickname from high-school, an old internet username that I don't even remember anymore, and I like alteration haha

Thank you for explaining I could never figure it out now I know why. Thank you again for what you did for me. That was nice and appreciate by me. Later

and here all along i thought the name was because it's a power hungry mod named eddy that needs assert themselves as an "emperor"

 

[Devs3cups]

4-2 is a fine start to the season. 109 point pace if I'm not mistaken.

 

[glenwo2]

F*ck the Canes.

F*ck that franchise and their stupid fans.


I hope they get blasted by other teams NOT the Devils because apparently they've got a horseshoe up their ass when they face us.

 

[Incharge1976]

The current PP system doesn't seem set up to feature his shot right now

Then he should be on PP2 and see how Casey handles it until Luke is back.

 

[glenwo2]

More proof that the Canes have a horseshoe up their ass.

 

[glenwo2]

Bratt shanked that shot though I'm sure he wouldn't against ANY OTHER F*CKING TEAM but because it's the "luckiest team on the planet when facing only us", of course he shanks it...or slips on a banana peel....or loses his stick...or the sun was in his eyes....

I really.....really hate the Carolina Hurricanes.

Just got back from the game.

I don't understand why we have to wait until we're losing to play Casey on a regular shift, especially with how Dougie and Dillon were playing.

Nemec needs more AHL seasoning.
Dillon needs a demotion

Casey - Pesce
Siegs - Hamilton
Dillon - Kovacevic

Casey is already above-average on the puck but is not that good otherwise. He absolutely cannot be on an R-R pair long-term, and is in no way ready to play a top pairing role.

He was great defensively again tonight.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

ouch

 

[Triumph]

He was great defensively again tonight.

I didn't see the whole game but Casey and Nemec spend at least 2 shifts a game where they are totally buried on the forecheck with no way to get the puck out. Tonight was no different.

Siegs-Dougie

Unless you like Siegs Dougie as a "shut down D first" pair, you don't have one anywhere in the lineup.

and 4th line was sure something tonight

 

[Oneiro]

To me, still looks like a lot of figuring stuff out.

This team isn't crisp but again, they're staying in it when they're on their heels. Not like 22-23 where it was more like pulling something out of their ass, fourth quarter Jordan style, but an approach that's a lot more sustainable.

That being said, Carolina really did own the possession battle for most of it. This organization will truly turn it around and be back to the old days when this kind of game is more of a dogfight.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

And that had nothing to do with Casey. Nemec has been terrible to below average in all but 1 game this year. Casey has had 1 bad period this season.

The Devils were dominant through the first half of 22-23. Less so in the 2nd half of the season, but it was not a "pull something out their ass" type of season.

We are 4-2, and that's good, but given the 2 better teams we've faced controlled the games we lost, I can't yet say this years version is better then the 22-22 team.

it's nice that our D is 8 deep with the long season and inevitable injuries (as already happened)
