GDT: Devils @ Senators - 1:00 PM - MSG

[MVP Zacha]

Sooooo what's the plan with Akira Schwinnggggg???

Back to the AHL I guess when Blackwood is back??

Then NHL next year??!

I was never really high on Akira, but Holy shit am I a convert.

 

[Classic Devil]

Devils are 12-1 with Zetterlund in the lineup.

Who else is really, really glad that we didn't waive him and try to send him to Utica after preseason?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

At this point I think it seems like a fair bet that Schmid and Daws will be in competition for the backup spot next year and we'll let Blackwood walk. Barring some unforeseen developments.

I'd try to trade Blackwood. I just don't see it with him. He looked shaky even behind this awesome new brand of defense the team is playing.

Glad to see Schmid bounce back testament to his mental fortitude..

Who would want him?

I bet he's trending big time in the keeper fantasy world

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Who would want him?

Somebody wanted Wedge... maybe Ottawa to secure Bedard lol.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Who would want him?

Im sure you could get a 3rd or something for him.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

What are the Devils doing to the rest of the league?

Fixed ^

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Is it possible Jim just likes to one, be negative and two, disagree with people?


Would explain why he’s not around nearly as often when things are going well. It’s harder to be negative.
And why even when things are going well and he’s around he tries to reach for random parts to argue about even if he sounds dumb and is going against the most basic common sense. Like his arguments don’t even make sense or say anything at this point.

I mean...I don't wanna be that guy, but it's on everyone here who still engage with him. I stopped agesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ago

 

[NjDevsRR]

Live look at Jim’s logic

 

[Billdo]

Lmao does anyone remember last season when he was acting like Mercer was better than them and it was gonna be obvious. Might’ve been when Hughes was coming back from injury.

Love Mercer but come on

I do remember that actually. Of all the things I forget, my memory sucks, I actually do remember that.

Winning the game gives you a 67% chance of winning the game, it's simple math

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

So, I just skimmed this, but I feel another reason is they have been way better with the forecheck and keeping the puck in the offensive zone. I think in previous seasons they were too much of an "off the rush" team and exchanging chances and also having very little actual time spent in the offensive zone.

Who would want him?

A lot of teams. They prob wouldn't offer much though.

 

[jkrdevil]

This wasn't true, but the Devils have the 4th best Corsi of all time with a lead (Colorado in 2021, Rangers and Carolina this year), and by far the best xG (Carolina this year is second). Most years very few teams manage a 50% Corsi with a lead, at most one or two, and most years the best xGs with a lead barely creep over 50%. The Devils are different than almost any other team in this era, so far.

It’s so refreshing to watch. Takes stress out of watching it.

Also, that the 4 best are in the last two years probably shows there is starting to be a league wide shift in thinking on how to play with a lead.

[Skinnyjimmy08]

This is a weird year for me... 2 teams are winning over my heart this season and I find them extremely entertaining to watch... The Devils and also Montreal

 

[pkbrux]

I was never really high on Akira, but Holy shit am I a convert.

I still like Daws better (and am optimistic that Brennan will be the best of the Devils homegrown goalies) but gotta love Schmid's solid play so far.

 

[NJ07102]

Schmid plays exactly the same way he played in Utica last season. When he is on his game, he is great with his positioning, he hardly moves because the pucks just hit him. I thought that last year he looked better than Daws and he has been the better of the two in Utica.

I'd like to talk to you about our Lord and Saviour, Fabian Zetterlund.
