GDT: Devils @ Sabres - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Saugus]

I thought Green should have been fired when Lindy was cashiered, and I see no reason to change that now.

I'd rather make the playoffs than not, but regardless of what happens:

 

[Bleedred]

tbh i think us missing playoffs would light a huge fire in our core guys (as painful as missing would be)

if they squeak by, they better not think this is acceptable effort

Management also better not think it’s acceptable and mean that we should bring back Green. The way we play under him is not acceptable. The way Vancouver played under him was not acceptable.

But like with Lindy last year, they’re probably gonna bring him back if we make the playoffs.

Although I know one coach that took over 6 games into a season, won the presidents trophy and one round in the playoffs, and still wasn’t brought back by that team……..we don’t say that coach’s name around here. He’s a sore subject.

Just a little experiment with the poll, that's all, I deliberately had only two choices.

There'd be no point to even having a poll if there was a make playoffs, fire Green option, everyone would have picked it lol.

Where is the miss playoffs, keep Green option?

 

[NjDevsRR]

F your poll lmao, I choose A.

We will keep Green as a token person in the office somewhere

 

[JK3]

This is basically the Kobayashi Maru exercise of polls haha.

 

[Bleedred]

I voted make the playoffs and keep Green, but I don't really think we are going to make them and it will be a real bummer to miss the playoffs by just 2-3 points, only to keep Green anyway.

So either make it, or miss by a bit.

!!! Need to watch on the intertubes! HATE NHL NETWORK GAMES!!! They gotta just give that channel away to every live streaming service.

If I'm not mistaken, it's only on Fubo (who doesn't have TBS/TNT) and DirectTV-stream-thing, which costs like 40K/Month.

Worst!

Hulu with Live TV is good but no MSG. But with the bundle you get TNT, TBS and ESPN plus. So it's not awful.

 

[Guttersniped]

Well for the people who wanted to play meaningful games in March, this is a meaningful game. Barely but meaningful.

I'm prepared to be disappointed.....again.

Me too, 5-2 Sabres tonight. It will finally be the nail in the coffin for this season. Thank goodness.

 

[JrFischer54]

So Friday night only game in the nhl coming off a huge road win combined with all the teams losing ahead of us last night what’s that mean? Absolutely means the devils are going to come and cruise right? Just has to happen no?

 

[MB3]

4-0 devils at the end of the first period. 6-1 win, and this entire forum buys back in.

4-0 after 1. This thread is everyone talking about being “so back”.

5-4 loss in OT and we argue about whether 1 point means there still is a chance.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Aren’t they down 0-1 already ?

 

[Whaddagoal]

FYI - Green said Jake is in net tonight. (when asked in media scrum)

 

[Clam Jensen]

Maybe this is one time all season they don’t let us down? Maybe?

 

[TrufleShufle]

5-4 loss in regulation we argue whether Bahl is a rookie or not.

We're 2-0-0 against Buffalo so far this year.

That's almost one of the anomalies against teams not in the playoffs/well out of the playoffs, other than 2-0-0 against Seattle. We're also 3-0-0 against the Islanders, who are pretty much neck and neck with us.

That's a real rarity. I'm pretty sure we only even beat them once last year and it was the first time. We only played them three times though.

2-0-0 ?

it's the sabres.....even a perfect record vs them is still not good enough

We blew them out 6-2 back in November and only allowed like 12 shots in what was probably one of our first really convincing wins of the season.

Firstly, I can't believe this team is still giving me SOME hope.

Second, I am definitely coming around on Green.

There have been so many people that thought "No Green under any circumstances" and are trying to stick to that take... but the PP (outside the Ottawa game) is improved, the PK is clicking big time, the Devils are scoring goals again, and he is getting A games from Meier, Hischier, Bratt, and now Jack is starting to thrive.

If Sullivan gets canned, I am interested... but other than that I honestly wouldn't mind Green at this point because he is getting something out of this team... and the guys are playing for him.

I am cautiously optimistic. My expectations are pretty tempered.

I've been onsite for many a Buffalo blowout against the past few years. I will be there again tonight and would rather not go through that again.
