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

[theoptimist]

Meter?

Meier?

 

[Bankers Box]

Blackwood isn’t at fault for the loss but he isn’t really stealing any games and his rebound control is awful.

This was just an atrocious game by the defense. Unless they have more games like this, I wouldn’t freak out so much like some of you are doing.

 

[Devils090]

This pairing lost us the game View attachment 642325

Siegs was awful, Severson was awful, Graves was beyond awful

All of them minus Hamilton can walk to Dallas

 

[Saugus]

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

Graves needs Marino back in the worst way, and Severson-Smith was actually not terrible as the third pair. Bahl and Okhotiuk can't play in the playoffs.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Marino makes a huge difference when he’s back. he’s good himself but also benches a rookie and cuts smiths time.

I’m not gonna freak til we see him back.

 

[TF1970]

Siegs was awful, Severson was awful, Graves was beyond awful

All of them minus Hamilton can walk to Dallas

Hamilton was shit too but gets somewhat of a pass with 3A.

 

[Bankers Box]

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

Do you honestly believe that?

I would be completely shocked if that ends up.

This post, spot on.

 

[Devs3cups]

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

We can:

Siegs-Dougie
Marino-L. Hughes
Seves-Graves

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

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

Graves is usually way more steady, maybe he's trying to be force more with Marino out. I have no clue why Graves is activating so much more.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

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

I can see us going at least 4 out of 5 on that.

 

[The Wumpus]

Dougie with points on 7 of our 9 goals over three games, and on pace for 77pts

 

[Bankers Box]

Marino makes a huge difference when he’s back. he’s good himself but also benches a rookie and cuts smiths time.

I’m not gonna freak til we see him back.

He also makes Severson better by limiting Damon’s responsibilities.

 

[jkrdevil]

That’s bad. This team misses Marino badly.

 

[Whaddagoal]

okhotiuk made at least 2 big defensive mistakes tonight.

Same for the vets.

This was an abomination for D play. Ruff was fuming after that 4th goal. Staring down towards the D zone...

Its like they decided to do whatever the f they wanted... Out of nowhere.

 

[Eggtimer]

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.

Ya no way we win a 7 game series with Bahl / Okhotiuk in the starting lineup. I almost want Gudas or Kulikov or someone like that as our #6 .

 

[MasterofGrond]

Hamilton was shit too but gets somewhat of a pass with 3A.

Hamilton did was he gets paid for and was a plus 2 on the night. Zero complaints.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Do you honestly believe that?

I would be completely shocked if that ends up.

Luke's signing as soon as Michigan's season ends, the final is April 8th while the Devils last game of the year is April 13th.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Vanecek doesn’t get us points tonight either tbh.

Would need sorokin or shesterkin

Disagree. Those two terrible softy rebound goals wouldn't have happened.

 

[guitarguyvic]

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

Keep one of graves or Severson. Otherwise I totally agree.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

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

They won’t. Luke Hughes and John Marino will be on the team. They had a bad game, but the defense has been fantastic this season.

 

[Dylan9z9]

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.

Sometimes you need a goalie to steal you a game like Saros did for the Preds tonight Blackwood isn't that guy if you don't have good defense in front of him you are losing my friend

 

[Killing Joke]

Siegs was awful, Severson was awful, Graves was beyond awful

All of them minus Hamilton can walk to Dallas

Severson was actually fine tonight and lead the team in expected goals for. Graves lead in corsi, but he def was trash. Siegs was hit or miss.

 

[glenwo2]

It’s embarrassing to lose to a bad team especially one coached by such a shit coach that we had to endure for half a decade.

Our defense sucked, special teams sucked, the refs especially sucked. The 4th line is garbage and wood should not be in the pp.

I've asked this question before :

Has this team (or any past team) beaten a Hynes-Coached team since he was fired?

I don't recall.

And if that's the case, that's probably why I'm very frustrated that somehow that continues to happen.


If the Devils faced the Preds for 82 games, the Preds would probably win 90% of those with how awful they performed.


I hope Lindy finds a Jar of Jelly to throw against the wall.

 

[Bcap88]

Just such a shittty way to lose

All started with the bullshit penalty on Blackwood to kick everything off
