Superstar Matty Bennirs oh no!

 

[njdevils1982]

f*** this shit

 

[Blender]

We continue the proud Devils' tradition of rookies getting their first goal against us.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

No forward on our team would have been able to fight through that stick check and score that goal.

[Oneiro]

Rango got worked. Beniers is who we thought he was.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Booooooo

 

[Bleedred]

I wonder if this is the last game Daws plays in the NHL this year?

It won't come until Blackwood is healthy and then they'll probably run him into the ground again.

 

[Saugus]

Mercer ‘s play has really dropped off

He hit a rookie wall, and not playing with Bratt or Hughes while getting bounced around the lineup doesn't help.

But you're right, he hasn't been as good of late.

 

[Patrik26]

Of course NJ surrenders a first NHL goal

We HAVE to lead the league in that category season after season. At least it seems that way.

 

[HersheyBob27]

Mercer's a rookie who has never played this much hockey in his life, it was to be expected imo.

Needs a night off then

 

[Eggtimer]

Kraken have anyone else that doesn’t have a NHL goal yet? Hope nkt or he is a given to score.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Mercer ‘s play has really dropped off

4pt last 8games while averaging 3 shots a game. Literally what he’s been doing all season.

Monkey pump

I can hear this gif

 

[Bleedred]

Special teams killing us tonight.

We've had all these power plays and our PK has really been suffering lately, which probably was to be expected by how good it was for a while with how shitty the goaltending has been on this team.

Teams with this bad of goaltending usually have HORRIFIC penalty killing percentages.

 

[Auto Pilot]

Special teams are just a total joke. As big of a joke as the goaltending.

None of these coaches should be here next year. And of course we suck this bad in a weak draft year

 

[Devs3cups]

At this point in the season, if Nico/Bratt/Mercer are getting points and we lose, it is what it is. The better draft odds the better. It is what it is. We know what we have in our youngsters and what needs to be fixed.

We've sucked every year for the last 10....

I mean not really.

Currently only a 3 game drought but he had 4 of those droughts at all parts of the season.

At 4 pts in 8 games which has been his ppg average lately.

Still getting 2-5 shots on many games.

He’s definitely tired from a long season but I don’t see a drop, especially him being put up and down the top 9.

 

[Bleedred]

Get f***ed McLeod.

f***in one period for McBUST to avoid his SECOND EVER goalless streak of at least 26 games at the NHL level.

Pathetic.

The top end of the draft is actually pretty good.

 

[Saugus]

Superstar Matty Bennirs oh no!

I mean, actually yes. That guy Borgen who scored their first goal is whatever, but Beniers is going to be a legit star in the league for years to come.

 

[njdevils1982]

score one here and shut these karens up

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Zacha, Kuokkanen, Smith will not be missed.

His stats don't seem to be that affected, but I do feel he's less sharp out there, I still like his game though. Has to be tough on a 20 year old.

They're as good as gone. I'm pretty confident of that.

If they are here next year, they'll be gone mid-season for sure.

That's in what I believe is the unlikely event that they're back.

It's not all their fault, but it's not getting any better with Ruff here and it hasn't been any worse in about 36 years or so.

Do I think he deserves a chance with better goalies next year? I think we've seen enough.
