I don’t care if they win 1-0 or 76-46. Just win.

 

[JimEIV]

Must win.

 

[Devs3cups]

Not a “must win”, but it’d be cool to win tonight and start a little streak here.

ya, at the end of the day they need to start stringing some wins together & picking up points, because seems like a lot of the other metro teams are doing so lately. the red wings can definitely put the puck in the net - will also be interesting to see who is between the pipes for NJ.

We are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference. We have games in hand on most of the teams in front of us but you can't let yourself fall too far behind that bubble.

Yeah there is a ton of season left but Ottawa and Detroit are both trying to claw themselves out of the cellar and they are both in front of us right now.

We need to beat this team

All I want is a Thanksgiving Eve win so I won't have indigestion thinking about yet another Devils loss.


WIN.

THIS.

GAME.

 

[The Grinder]

Weird to think it’s a year ago “The Streak” ended.

Please let’s just putting some W’s in the bank and right this ship.

 

[Mgd31]

This is a must win game, no excuses

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Got two of my wisdom teeth yanked, hopefully this game + Lindy + goaltending doesn't hurt more than this.

So I asked someone who that was behind Jack and was told it was Alex Turcotte.

I can't help but stare at his hair style. I mean...what is that?

Looks like he put a small wig on top of his head or something.

games in hand are great, but you still have to win those games. a lot of times i find it is thought as though they are just guaranteed points.

Also, last year the streak started with a 6-2 against Detroit in Detroit… We’re starting a new streak tonight.

 

[JK3]

Need points tonight, no excuses.

 

[JimEIV]

Need to get beer for tonight. Thinking Dogfish Head.

That's my comfy cozy chilly evening go to.

 

[Bleedred]

If Vitek plays tonight then I’m gonna make sure that #makingvitekhappen is trending.

And then if I hear “V has played well against Detroit” from Lindy when he’s asked about I’m gonna think “well then why the f*** didn’t the goalie that’s 3-1 with a .951% and 2 shutouts get to play the Rangers?”.

It's the broccoli cut.

 

[Saugus]

Would be nice to have Hischier back in tonight, and have him and Hughes stabilize our center situation.

 

[Xirik]

Come on guys! Lets dunk some Wings!

Because of the Daneyko ooze gif/picture where he's wearing goggles I instantly mentally connected Danno to the wing.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

A nice 8 to 10 game winning streak would be extra nice.

From AATJ :

Vanecek should consider a change in equipment. That’s not meant as sarcasm. He and Rogalski need to discuss with Lindy Ruff whether or not a ‘soft’ or ‘hard’ rebound fits whatever he’s trying to accomplish in the defensive zone. Vanecek wears Bauer Supreme Mach leg pads, which have a one-piece thermoformed skin wrapped around the pad’s core. They produce hard, fast rebounds. Rogalski, Vanecek, and Ruff should consider whether a hard rebound is too unpredictable and difficult for the Devils defensemen and zone coverage to corral, necessitating a shift to a pad that produces soft rebounds, i.e. rebounds that ‘die’ on the pad and allow either the goaltender to freeze the puck or a net-front defenseman to clear.


*Addendum/Correction: Vanecek very recently made the switch to Bauer Vapor Hyperlite pads. These are softer pads with more of an S shape to help create smaller rebounds and a ‘dead’ puck effect. (Though, most Bauer pads tend to be stiffer and create harder rebounds in general.) If you watch the Rangers game back, you actually see these pads work exactly as intended on the fourth goal. Vanecek makes the first save, the puck rebounds closer to the net where a defenseman can clear, and John Marino just doesn’t get a stick on Vesey or the puck. Did anybody tell the defensemen that Vitek swapped to new gear that might take an adjustment? Or will rebounds—hard or soft—end up in the net eventually?


To me, this means that Vanecek and Rogalski are trying to make some kinds of adjustment—and that the opposition’s pre-game video sessions are telling them to shoot for rebounds. The defensemen need to be aware that the puck will die closer to the net on low shots. If they can’t clear a puck right in front of them, then we have a real problem.

Game Preview #17: New Jersey Devils at Detroit Red Wings

An up-and-down battered Devils team visits a Detroit Red Wings squad that’s lost four of their last five (as have the Devils). Can the Devils figure out their defensive system against a high-flying, high-scoring team, or will they overpower the Red Wings’ similarly weak defense and goaltending?
