GDT: Devils vs. Bruins - 7:00 PM - MSG+

[Oneiro]

Even if they stole riffs, Tres Hombres is hard to mess with.

just listened to the pat travers song…it seems its a cover of a different old blues tune called boom boom

I think you're right, I just assumed, then I listened to the JLH video !!

I missed the Greer hit. I saw the fight and the replay of the fight but didn't see the hit.

edit: just saw it during his post-game interview.

Wow. I think physical play was the main reason we don't complete passes. It looked like ice capades out there against the Flyers. Bruins mashed us from the faceoff. Wood limped back on the first shift because of McAvoy. Greer got railroaded making a play to get it out of the zone. Boqvist almost lost his knee.

Cheap dirty crap, and big hits. Pretty much made all of our skill players invisible. Zero shots for Rango this game. First time that happened in 10 games - third time ALL season - one of the others was also against Boston. He had 40 sog in April. He wiffed every time he touched the puck because someone was coming.

Zero shots for Jesper Bratt. Same reason. That's happened three times. Other times against WSH. See a trend?

One shot by Hughes. 1 or less has only happened a handfull of times. Rags, Isles, WSH, Boston.

We played like dog shit regardless of physical play though is my point. No point in debating anyway because my stance is pretty set on why we got dominated lol.

 

[glenwo2]

thats better!
(are you still celebrating Easter?)

I'm celebrating because I did not watch one second of this game.

Also celebrating because of this :

Rags lost before OT !!!!!!!!!!! Yessssssssssssss

Happy Golfing (with Covid masks), Rags!

Thats typical of a young team. They will learn how to match that intensity but it won’t happen overnight. They did it times pre-Covid. The eyes got lulled by a sloppy Flyers team but at least they didn’t give up six or seven.

We could have used about five more Nate Bastians tonight.

 

[Reasonable Doubt]

Terrible showing tonight

Had to make an account to vent. What is this team going to do to make up for the absolutely insane young age of the roster?

you cant possibly go into next season without adding two or three veterans - the team will get beat up BAD by playoff teams and it will cause violent streakiness.

Im fine with ending the year young but damn it I dont want to be getting embarrassed like tonight for a full schedule next year with an average roster age of 24. Who is there to step up and be the example??

Umm...continue to develop them?

 

[Reasonable Doubt]

Umm...continue to develop them?

I dont need all 21 roster spots filled by developing yourh

this isnt the AHL - thats what the minors is designed for (edit, thats not even the case in the AHL either, they want some vets too)

A few veterans isnt asking for much, this isnt NHL 20 where we sim ahead four seasons

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Bad hit for sure, but I'm ok with it. The Bruins have taken alot of liberties.

Agree Marchand cheap shots mojo and goes to all star game if you have talent you can be dirty? Hockey is simple refs don't take control players eventually will.....

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Devils need to continue to develop but emphasize size and skill.....Adding a nasty player would go a long way too....Okhotyuk when he's ready check....Zachary L'Heureux with Islanders pick check....Sign Misyul he's got grit and size too.....Try to get Brendan L from Kings

 

[Maine Fan]

Bruins needed a point and they got it. It was time for the Boston team to practice roughness for the playoffs

Devils looked awful. If Subban played it wouldn't have changed the results. All the credit goes to Wedgewood for going it alone and delivering a great game, 40 Shot on goal against and he saved 37.

Bring back Philly, only 3 wins in 14 games all against Philly, so Devils can get some more wins. They play Philly in the final game of the season, expect a win. Maybe the Bruins will rest players Tuesday night, that might change things.

I thought Zaitsev was the grittier of the Russian defensemen in the pipeline but your point is well taken. Would help if they could also sign Kulikov back in the off-season.

Up front, I think the lack of combativeness from players like Bratt and Zacha is exposed against teams like the Bruins.
