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

[Eggtimer]

I’m nkt a Blackwood supporter but no way this game is on him …
How many breakaways and open chances did we gift them ? It was ugly.
We let the Preds play their hack style game .

 

[guitarguyvic]

What game were you watching? Press let Devils buzz around the perimeter then countered when they gained possession.

Offense hardly "took over" the third and lost way too many 50/50 pucks.

Press let Saros see the puck and then walled off any Devils trying to get rebounds.

Textbook team hockey.

This assessment couldn’t be any more incorrect, holy cow.

It was great team D by the preds…and yet they allowed 4 goals? Lol.

All you do is copy/paste the same commentary for every loss. The predators suck. They are very likely not even making the playoffs. The did nothing to contain the devils offense today. The devils D literally gift wrapped them like ten clear cut breakaways and Nashville still almost lost the game.

The Pete record is probably a barrel of laughs too, harder to figure that one out though since he's bounced around a bit.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This was the game to get points out of because tomorrow is such a mountain with it being the 2nd half of a road back to back at the end of a really long stretch of games against one of the best teams in the league.

I don't expect them to have any gas left for tomorrow.

 

[New Jersey]

Ya, if we want old and ass, we'll go out to Long Island and hang out with Lou.

have empathy!

 

[jkrdevil]

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.

I think we are seeing a cumulative effect of guys playing out of role and elevated minutes the past month with Marino out. How many games have we seen Okhotiuk or Bahl get benched? If adds up.

Fortunately they have a week and half off after tomorrow night, Marino is skating. Hopefully he can be back when they come back. Everyone rested and slotted correctly and things can get on track.

We’re 0-5 against that penis in a suit

That's a good one.

Watching the same game you were. Devils played a fine third period up until the turnover. Way too many simple errors on the back end cratered them unfortunately. It is what it is.

anyone know the plus minus for the 3rd line?

Negative infinity?

Hynes broke our D corp tonight. Never seen so many guys get behind our d line with so much repitition...

This is how Anaheim felt when we came into their barn and torched their d with transition.

Getting the bottom 6 playing better is going to be trickier. Hope the rest helps them, if not, some of the regulars in the bottom 6 need to start sitting

Nah, DeBoer tends to get teams on the cusp of breaking out. He always lands in great spots and we've been shit for the past decade. The Hynes one is way worse imo.

Was it the stretch pass that killed us?

It's beyond annoying this year as we are good and the Preds are woefully meh, yet we still lost to them twice.

Shot ourselves in the foot both games too

Would be the perfect time to also pull any trade trigger for Fitz with a week off and they start off with 2 games at home.

We will see if that’s something that needs adjusting. Our system is very aggressive in the neutral zone and requires a lot of support and communication. Both weren’t there tonight.

 

[Devs3cups]

I'm pretty confident we can pull the win tomorrow.

First off, Vitek is in net. The D will have reviewed their game tonight and we can definitely skate with Dallas. We've also won our last B2B on the road on the Western trip. The boys can pull it off.

 

[New Jersey]

defense was dookie

WE NEED TO BE HARDER JOHN HYNES

 

[JimEIV]

The play of the defense hurt my soul tonight. Every single one of them sucked tonight. I can't believe believe that they were that bad.

We have 2 lines ... the bottom 2 are useless

 

[Blackjack]

Just such a shittty way to lose

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

I think I’m done watching for a while. Seriously, I’m f***ing good.

The bullshit penalty to Blackwood that they score on, and then they just swallow their whistles as guys take hideously obvious boardings, crosschecks, and trips.

It’s not fun anymore.

 

[NJDevs26]

LOL the record against Pete isn't much better

2-5-1 against him with the Sharks
1-2 against him with Vegas
0-1 against him with Dallas

3-8-1 overall

 

[Whaddagoal]

Was it the stretch pass that killed us?

Seemed like quick short passes and a guy breaks behind. Granted some were on puck bobbles. Caught us with mistakes in neutral zone and transition there.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Can we sign Albelin like Lou did back in 2005?
