Are you kidding me? We're still the second to lowest scoring team in the league, if I'm not mistaken. Only Detroit is worse, I think. And we're bottom 5 since Shero took over.

And because we score 2 goals and win 2-1 or 3-2 in a shootout I'm wrong?

There's not much argument that Shero deserves better than a D+/C- grade here.

The team’s best players are 18-21. Palms and Gusev are not game breakers they are nice complimentary players. Blame Shero for picking McLeod instead of McAvoy blame him for keeping Hynes too long or keeping Cory but the lack of goals isn’t something you can just manufacture by running pick plays and misdirection like the Patriots.
 
I think that's acceptable enough to say it was a screen.

Cory and Kinkaid (by a couple posters) get excused for a ''Screen'' when it's like 60 feet out.

There was a screen, but he was 3 feet outside the post. Just no reason to be there.
 
Why carry Hayden and Simmonds if they aren't going to go take a run at their stars when they do it to ours?

If you get a clean hit, sure, but I'd say that about anyone on Colorado. Mac's hit one Nico was clean, I don't think we should be targeting him or anything.
To me it was late and high. He’s been taking runs late this period since he got hit.

At some point we gotta improve, but I maintain the biggest problem was thinking Cory was gonna be good this year.

In fact, the only logic I could have seen in Cory playing such a big role here this year was that he expected we'd outscore the shoddy goaltending that Cory has provided for 3 straight (And now 4) years.
 
Welp.....

I guess I'll just pack it in for tonight.

No Bratt to watch....no Hughes to watch....

Devils down by 2 against a team that basically we can't beat apparently.


Hope to see Bratt and Hughes back soon.

I'm out.
 
Simmonds looks beyond cooked tonight.

I was thinking he looked very out of place in this game.

Coleman botching that breakaway really grinds my gears. Why the **** is he trying to deke? I would have felt better had he shot it straight into the logo.

Knowing the history of this ownership I think the long slow rebuild was always the plan. A game like this is made worse because Bratt and Hughes are replaced by Street and Rooney.

Not sure why anyone would wanna bring him back after this year. I'd be surprised if he had more than 1 year left in the NHL after this, 2 more years max.

It was a good signing, but bringing him back after this year would be a costly mistake.

I think he has 5 goals over his last 69 games played. I think it will be 5 goals in his last 70 games played in the NHL if he doesn't score a goal tonight.

I don't know why anyone would sign him. He's done. Even the things he's supposed to be good at - battles in the corners, banging home pucks in the crease, he can't do anymore.

Zajac and Simmonds gotta retire. Never seen guys skate in quicksand before.
