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

[MauDevils]

Not even exaggerating, but if you told me McLeod didn't play tonight I would believe it. I didn't notice him once.

 

[glenwo2]

I reiterate once more that I could not give less of a f*** about Hynes and his record against us.

I really shouldn't give a rat's ass either but have we ever beaten his team even ONCE since he was fired?

I don't think we have (unless I'm mis-remembering)...

 

[Saugus]

Of the season?

On the road, I think. We definitely have more losses than that.

 

[Dylan9z9]

I've never seen a team give away so many breakaways. That was absolutely horrific defending. Score could of been a lot worse and none of it was Blackwoods fault.

I saw 5 goals against so... some of it was his fault

The devils cannot go into the playoffs with this D core.

 

[jkrdevil]

Forwards on top of them at full speed all night but somehow it's the defense (and goalie) that are solely responsible for the loss?

This is a wake up call.

Predators (and most of the Central Division) play grown man hockey; which is what they are going to see if they make the playoffs.

Might as well see it in late January and learn from it.

Don’t give me this big boy hockey bullshit. The Central division is f***ing terrible. The guys who struggled tonight were the guys who are supposed to play big boy hockey.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

This is the kinda game you want Torts as your coach and to hear his presser!

 

[Devilsfan992]

On the road

Oh duh. That's insane.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Vanecek doesn’t get us points tonight either tbh.

Would need sorokin or shesterkin

 

[Rhodes 81]

Graves and Severson are just terrible partners for each other. They're both high-risk/reward players

 

[Devils090]

Wood, Severson, Graves, Smith, Haula all better have a different team next year

 

[NjDevsRR]

There is this ridiculous expectation on Blackwood. Guy faced 10 breakaways tonight. I legit don’t think I’m exaggerating that number.

Thats great.

Game wasnt his fault.

It doesn’t excuse his horrendous rebound control on routine shots and that’s a huge issue my friend.

 

[glenwo2]

Love Bratt.
Hate Blackwood.

Yeah.

Nailed it.

 

[MasterofGrond]

So on that axis I’m glad Blackwood ate this dogshit game for us

 

[DerekDevils30]

It’s a shame because the O looked great. Devils took over in the 3rd and the Preds didn’t have an answer until the neutral zone turnover.

 

[Devs3cups]

Guys, guys. 8-2-1 in our last 11. We're fine.

 

[Killing Joke]

This pairing lost us the game

 

[Saugus]

Vanecek doesn’t get us points tonight either tbh.

Would need sorokin or shesterkin

Not even them. I doubt even a prime Hasek would be able to stop that many clear breakaways.

 

[Bleedred]

Vanecek doesn’t get us points tonight either tbh.

Would need sorokin or shesterkin

Honestly, if he would have stopped that last one we might get a point.

But we also wouldn't have pulled him as early either.

 

[BostonDevil]

Meter?

That’s f***ing terrible

 

[glenwo2]

I do, and I have no problem with blaming Mac cause most of the time he deserves it, but tonight ain't the night for that. I would've liked if he stopped the last one, but whatever.

But as I said, the Defensemen should be WELL-RESTED for tomorrow as they basically took the night off apparently.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

The devils cannot go into the playoffs with this D core.

They can but, they'll go home in 5 or even 4. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say this was somewhat on an anomaly.

 

[TF1970]

The devils cannot go into the playoffs with this D core.

I would guess fitz looks at bringing in a guy for that 7th spot who is cheap but there as insurance. Because it’s clear bahl/okhotiuk cannot play.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

The devils cannot go into the playoffs with this D core.

Marino and Luke Hughes will be playing game 1 of the playoffs as a pair, so I wouldn't worry.
