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

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Blew a chance to go 8 up on the rags, better win tomorrow

Vegas wins tomorrow + we beat the Stars and it's the same thing. I wouldn't worry too much about NYR.

 

[DevilsHughes86]

We play defense like this tomorrow, the Stars will score 10 on us

 

[jkrdevil]

This is the kind of game you're glad is a back to back because it's almost impossible for them to play this bad tomorrow.

They can very well. Half the lineup down right sucks right now.

 

[Bleedred]

Has Blackwood ever once controlled a rebound tjough, seriously.

He might have the worst rebound control I’ve ever seen from an NHL goalie

There's a legit case to be made that his rebound control is so poor because he doesn't play that often. It's common for a backup to have poor rebound control.

Now, why doesn't he play that much? That's the question? Could it be because he sucks and we have a way better goalie here?

 

[DerekDevils30]

Unacceptable loss. 4 goals for you should walk away with 2 points never mind 0.

Putrid defensive effort. They need Marino back. The bottom 6 got killed tonight.

Yep. Got 4 past Saros which is a really good offensive performance.

 

[Dylan9z9]

It's insane that all 6 defenseman were solely responsible for at least one breakaway against.

Severson was responsible for 2 blatant goals against

 

[Better Call Sal]

Agreed NJ looks flat, but come on make some saves and bail the team out a bit once in a while.

He made plenty of saves to bail the team out tonight, that’s the sad part. That’s how bad we were defensively all night long.

 

[MasterofGrond]

This is like a 90% defense fault game. 10% on Mac. One stoppable and two half stoppables.

But man if our d was even awake tonight they sure didn’t show it.

 

[BostonDevil]

I guess you can't win every game 6 on 5 with the goalie pulled they might have to reasses and play some defense

Umm...Weren't the last 2 games 3-2 and 2-1?

 

[Devs3cups]

Well Blackwood gonna Blackwood. *shrugs*

That's all there is to it.

Seriously? I'm the last one to defend Mac but the defense was 10x worse tonight. Like, legitimately worse. Not even close.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Agreed NJ looks flat, but come on make some saves and bail the team out a bit once in a while.

They got outshot 23-8 and were tied after the first, holy shit. He gave them a chance to regroup after the first which they never did. That's the skaters fault.

 

[glenwo2]

This is the kind of game you're glad is a back to back because it's almost impossible for them to play this bad tomorrow.

I'm sure the Defense was WELL-RESTED as they didn't do much of any defending tonight.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Without seeing any video, giving up the lead 3 times and losing in regulation is pretty awful. Play better tomorrow

 

[TF1970]

Outshot them 22-9 in the third, yet lost the period 3-1. And it’s because almost all of their nine shots were major breakdowns thus quality looks.

 

[Devils090]

Can we just talk about how we had Graves and Siegs out after Mercer scored and those idiots should have given up ANOTHER goal against if Forsberg doesn’t miss an open net

Siegs has been terrible the last month and a half

 

[Bankers Box]

When is. Marino back?

Really need to limit Severson’s ice time.

 

[Whaddagoal]

This team is gonna be so gassed tomorrow

 

[Bcap88]

The trash that I don’t want to see on this team next year:

Smith,wood,Tatar,haula,mcleod

Basically the whole bottom six

 

[SKNJD9]

Blaming Blackwood is a hell of a oversimplication for those who have no clue wtf they just watched.

 

[jkrdevil]

There's a legit case to be made that his rebound control is so poor because he doesn't play that often. It's common for a backup to have poor rebound control.

Now, why doesn't he play that much? That's the question? Could it be because he sucks and we have a way better goalie here?

His rebound control is bad because he is usually late getting into position/reacting.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Without seeing any video, giving up the lead 3 times and losing in regulation is pretty awful. Play better tomorrow

Game recap:

It was if all the skaters all had to take a giant shit the entire game.

 

[glenwo2]

This is going to be forever a cursed image.

Get rid of it as it resulted in a s--tty loss.

 

[BostonDevil]

We play defense like this tomorrow, the Stars will score 10 on us

And we'll be goalie'd at the other end by Wedgewood again!

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

just the 3rd regulation loss of the season on the road. Its February in like 5 days lol

insane

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

The defense just totally blew this one. Smith-Okhotyuk put together quite easily the worst performance of the season by a wide margin. Graves sucked shit too.

Jack was sensational, loved him putting his body on the line.

He isn’t why we lost, but Blackwood doesn’t have NHL caliber rebound control. Bad goalie.
