i can't watch the game but reading the comments and twitter seems the devils came out for some payback i'm glad they wanted to send a msg and didn't care when it came. good for them even if it put them in a hole early so what? they dug themselves out of the hole and its a new game. also chill on the markstrom hate sure the first goal was weak and the second goal was a fluke but the guy has given us the average goaltending we expected so far this year. personally i would've gone with allen tonight
 
Markstrom save on Motte is rewarded.

That was big. Game would have been again sunk if we gave up that shortie..

Markstrom makes me nuts. Shit goal, great stop, shit goal, great stop.

Just make the routine stops for my sanity please. I can at least blame the D for the gaffs leading to those insane chances lol.

Reminds me most recently of blackwood.

Tbf, it's probably still 2-2 if you do that anyway. Let's just hope those A+ saves got his head right. He has a lot of Marty in his game where he'll give up shitters and then make the A+ and be able to rebound a bit from bad goals. Almost was 3-0 on that 2 on 1 he saved

That's basically his career recently in a nut shell. Just alternates between good and bad years.

Markstrom stops those and lets in the junk he does? That’s Cory esque
The first two goals gave me immediate flashbacks to the Vegas game at home that Cory started in 2018-2019. I think he even allowed a wraparound in that one.
 
LOL what is YOUR point?

I mean...we lose a lot of games in years past and everyone is blaming the goaltender.

We win a lot of games with an average goalie putting up average stats and...now the goaltending has nothing to do with it?

Can't keep these narratives straight.

I'm not the one with a "narrative". I have been pretty consistent that the Devils are a good team that has been hurt by goaltending the last few years. This year, their team defense is even better than it has been the past few years.

the Devils are one of the best teams in the league. Coming into the thread to try and have a "gotcha" moment is weird stuff.
 
Markstrom is not an average goaltender this year. He’s very much below average. Allen on the other hand is above average goaltending.
Do you give Allen more games and give up the second-rounder to the Habs? If Daws doesn't look like a backup next season, they may consider re-signing Allen.

I think it's a really big assumption that Allen could carry a much heavier workload as well.

Markstrom hasn't been great, but overall I don't yet feel the need to change anything up, tbh.

Tatar not out there. Seems like he got banged up at some point according to Matt on radio
No worries, we got Macdermid
