GDT: Devils @ Sabres - 8pm, MSGSN

[Based Anime Fan]

Real Italian sausage. Real Italtian taste. The way sausage should be.

I thought real sausage was small and bent slightly to the right...

I mean, yes.

we only have 3/11 swiss guys in the nhl

PATHETIC, DO BETTER

 

[Bleedred]

Looked like a stoppable goal on Schmid, but the stick from Haula (I think?) went flying and definitely changed it up.

That's the second goal he's allowed where something like that happened. I think Nico tried to block it last week in Ottawa and it squeaked in because of it.

Blackwood will nominally be the backup when he is fully healthy, but it will be a situation where if anything happens to VV Schmid will automatically leapfrog MB.

Dude just leave other teams boards alone man. You are asking for it. They are irrationally upset because their team lost. Just like we are literally every single time something goes against us.

I have discussions wether we win or lose. But when we win I get kicked out for having discussion. When we lose I don’t.

 

[njdevils1982]

Probably their version of our Marc Angelo.

it was a joke on how matt's fill is pronouncing the name doing the ad spots

 

[OmNomNom]

we're 2nd in the league w vegas losing tonight

 

[Devil X]

Like those team shirts this year Tatar is wearing during his interview.

Raise the Bar - Raise Each other
Raise Hell

 

[severian]

Good bounce back effort. Played a solid first. Now hopefully Vitek is ready to make his old team pay tomorrow.

 

[vtdevils2k]

Blackwood? hahahaha @bleed

 

[Based Anime Fan]

More like MACKENZIE DEADWOOD

 

[JK3]

I really like having Matt around, he’s good at this stuff.

Ya, we're not getting Josi any time soon. Meier though? Might be something there.

Like I said, irrational. And when you lose, the last thing you feel like doing is hearing it from a fan of the team that just beat you. There is no way for it to come across as anything other than gloating even if it's clearly not.

Agree. I think Haula‘s stick caused him to misplay that puck. He was on point otherwise. Good angles and good reaction. I’m intrigued with Schmid. Looks like he may be able to carve out a solid backup role at the very least. Look forward to a larger sample size with him.

He should leapfrog, but I don't see them playing Schmid over Blackwood if he's healthy and it comes to that.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Nico point = Win

 

[MasterofGrond]

rooting for my preferred caps outcome tomorrow, as usual

an 8-3 win with an ovy hatty

I don't ever wanna see him again, but we won't be that lucky.

You can count on him to play at least one game a week, like Schmid has been doing in his absence. Until he pulls something or f***s something up again, however long that will be. If Vitek has a rough patch like he did last year in Washington, I wouldn't be surprised to see them roll with that shit head more often, just like Laviolette did with Samsonov last year when that happened.

I think brakes need to be pumped with Schmid, if not only because we saw Daws start hot before he started getting into too many games and didn't Blackwood himself come out and have 2 shutouts in his 4 or 5 NHL starts?

But like I said, Daws may have crumbled because he was forced to be the starter, because Gillies just became completely and utterly unplayable. Schmid shouldn't find himself in a position where he has to be the man.

I'm confident one of Schmid or Daws can put up better goaltending than #29 next year and they'll do it a MUCH cheaper cost. Money can be better allocated to spend elsewhere than a BAD and injury prone goalie.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I thought the D did a really good job containing Thompson tonight. I've watched him shred basically every team they have played.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Great bounce back game.

Think Buffalo is going to be a really good team pretty soon.

 

[Mgd31]

Both teams tomorrow on a back to back.
