GDT: Devils @ Predators - 8:00 PM - MSGSN

[SJinNewJersey]

Got 8 minutes, let's tie this up.

 

[PWiz30]

Don't do ref talk. Seems like that's obligatory sports talk anymore.

They don't play the games.

I almost always agree with this sentiment. It would have been nice to see the team handle adversity better tonight. At the same time, that's was a totally inexplicable call on Blackwood immediately after taking an early lead on the road, Nashville tied the game on the ending powerplay, and they proceeded to eat their whistles afterward.

I'm 95% certain a Nemec-L. Hughes 3rd pair would do better than Smith-Bahl/Okh.

 

[Oneiro]

Smith has to stop roaming. Dude has 5 points. Stay the f*** home and keep it simple.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I remember when someone would go throw a big hit and fire the team up but I guess that has to wait for another year.

 

[glenwo2]

They are going to be totally out of gas against Dallas tomorrow night too

yeah. VV is going to have to drag them to 1-0 shutout to get a win.

Blackwood being Blackwood is not helping tonight.

Doesn't matter if the goals are of the so-called "unstoppable" variety. I bet VV stops a couple of them.

I'm mentally prepared for a loss right now....

They influence the game a lot.

 

[My3Sons]

The bottom six is just not generating anything. That has to change somehow for NJ to have any success.

 

[Bleedred]

4 goals is unexceptable bad D or not

I don't necessarily agree with this

But Blackwood's play over the last 3 seasons is definitely unacceptable. It seems the staff has accepted that.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

So Hughes and Hamilton are going to have to drag the rest of the team kicking and screaming to points yet again?

Hopefully it's been quite entertaining!

 

[PWiz30]

No one knows. How many breakaways have there been?

5 or 6.

 

[Devils090]

Way to kill the shift Seves

There are going to be goals that VV stops that Blackwood doesn't. And vice versa. VV plays hybrid.

 

[My3Sons]

Tatar fell after he hit himself in the back I guess?

Time to dump this bum

 

[MasterofGrond]

Give Jack a Keenan shift

 

[Blender]

Give Jack a Keenan shift

...again.

 

[forceten]

Ice has to be terrible, Hughes himself has fanned/lost the puck off his stick several times uncharacteristically

 

[Devils090]

Jack is gonna have to go 1 on 5 for us to tie it

 

[NJDevs26]

Marino is only gonna be out one more game

Just supposedly...he's still in a non-contact jersey

 

[Bleedred]

We don't look like we have enough left to tie it tonight

I said that last game and was wrong though, but last game was MUCH better than this CRAP

Against a team that is better/better coached

 

[Devils090]

Another muffin from the point

 

[Emperoreddy]

Just supposedly...he's still in a non-contact jersey

I have to think he will be ready after the bye week

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Just supposedly...he's still in a non-contact jersey

they dont play for 10 days and hes practiced for a week

he'll be back after the break
