GDT: Devils vs. Blackhawks, 7:30pm

[Bleedred]

The ''Turtling'' we've done the last few minutes looks a lot like what we were doing earlier in the year, which was extremely effective in November and December, starting with those two Florida games.

It's no doubt harder to do that with the depleted personnel, but at least we're getting it done in a game we need to get it done in, against a team we need to get it done against.

More turtling in the third.

This is satire now. They are pushing play

 

[JimEIV]

They just took a nice trip down Devil memory lane

 

[LGD]

Wait are they suggesting Chicho wears a toupee ?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lmao Edzo busting Chico's balls about his toupee.

"You have any glue? It's windy out today."

 

[My3Sons]

Ah 33 years ago today. I remember it like it was yesterday. Mostly because my dementia is so bad I’ve forgotten the next 33 years

 

[LGD]

Damn he wears a piece? I had no idea .. it looks real

 

[JimEIV]

"Chico where's the glue "


That's messed up

Anybody else get a ''Survived the great crash of 2025'' trophy?

 

[Killing Joke]

The f*** was Bratt doing?

Yes. You are not special.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Just a quick flashback. On Easter in 1988 Devils had to beat Hawks last game of season. On a garbled TV picture Johnnie Mac scored to send Devils to the playoffs.

 

[Bleedred]

Yes. You are not special.

I'm guessing everyone who didn't sign up after March of 2024 and have to make a new account got one.

Oh yea them and their 18 shots against a piss poor Blackhawks team is really pushing play.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Nice move by Nemec but man that's such an unnecessary risk to take with a 2 goal lead late in the third.

 

[Bleedred]

Will someone on this board please tell me I'm not alone in thinking Sorensen (Hawks head coach) looks like an old Tomas Tatar? Like Tatar in about 15 years from now?

My friends off the board agree, only after I pointed it out.

I've been saying that since the first time I've seen him.

Yup lol. Any idea what happened with that crash btw? Just a server issue?

Not to jinx it, but it's about f***ing time.

 

[Devs3cups]

Luke is so good lmfao

 

[Bleedred]

I guess. They did some kind of ''Construction'' or whatever you wanna call it with the software.

They told us it was going down that day, but it wound up being down for like 36 hours.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Most overrated Devil ever

That would be Sasha Lakovic

 

[NjDevsRR]

They are not turtling this 3rd period. You are blind if you don’t see them spending the entire period transitioning into the Hawks zone.

You have some good insights many times but your need to bitch just to bitch really takes you down many pegs on here. Its a shame, really.

 

[Bleedred]

I will say this, we actually did have a decent record and win streak against non-playoff teams for quite a while, before that Pittsburgh game (I think it was?) which I think that may have been our first loss against a non-playoff team in like 7 games going back to before the break.

Our record against non-playoff teams over the last stretch was pretty good until about 1.5 weeks ago. But we just haven't beaten a team in a playoff position in quite a while, other than I think Columbus. I think they were in a spot for both the games we beat them recently.

The Oilers too.
