GDT: Devils vs. Habs / 9 Pages of Apathy 7:00 PM MSG+

[Emperoreddy]

Really? **** that ****. It's all about pride now.

I don't think we can even pick 5 mathematically now and even with a lose the odds at winning the lotto were better then the canes passing us.

If you are worried about picking 6th. Root for Philly to stop being an awful hockey team for 4 games.

 

[Billdo]

Too bad we won our way closer out of the top 5/6

I think regardless we are pretty much nestled into 6th unless philly goes winless or CBJ cools down.

 

[Bleedred]

Did anyone really think the Canes could pass us?

They're terrible.

I'm still laughing at a couple of the ''Canes are a better team than us'' posts from a couple months back.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

Gomez HAS to come back next year. We don't have another good passing forward and puck carrier on the squad

Well hopefully Bernier asks for too much money or something and leaves because I'm not sure how we get better with all these third liners still here.

Agreed. Gomez is the best playmaker on the Devils at this point. It would be foolish for the Devils not to resign him, since I don't see many feasible options that would be as good or better playmakers than he is.

Huh what? Was that directed at me or MJ?

I'm just happy we won and it was an entertaining game. I'm not for tanking.

 

[JimEIV]

Don't worry about draft position, we are going to win the lottery...the way I figure it, the hockey gods owe us a generational talent for not tanking for Mario.

Besides, Edmonton can't get another first, the NHL can't reward buffalo and toronto for tanking, and Carolina and phoenix are hockey mausoleums.

We lost our talents fair and square and not through terrible mismanagement

I wish I could be this optimistic. But I like the optimism.

Bernier and Tootoo as your bottom 6 RW is fine. Shouldn't stop us from going over top 6 RW, which we desperately need.

LW is where things are to crowded and room needs to be made if Matteau or Boucher plan to play here next year (or another upstart forces his way onto the roster out of camp.)

Resigning those guys isn't the problem. Keeping them in the bottom 6 because we have actual talented RWs IS the problem.

Josefson is automatic in shootouts!

Thank me folks! 4 for 4 on jinxes tonight!

You were on fire tonight.

 

[Bleedred]

You were on fire tonight.

And now for my next one!

We WILL lose to the Rangers tomorrow!

Haha old school Lou, didn't think Gomers elbow was a big deal and a bit exaggerated, nice.

Gomer must have had reason to clock him, I thought for sure Lou would be critical of it in the postgame

 

[awegrzyn]

Just came back. Best game I went to this season. Tons of kids from North of the Boarder.

 

[Missionhockey]

I don't think Lou would ever publicly criticize a player to the media. He would probably confront that player behind closed doors.

Also, it might not be right, but I like to see our players fighting back and not taking ****. There's something to be said about a team that's hard to play against.

I thought is was great what Lou said in the presser. He didn't think Gomers elbow was a big deal and tend to agree.

I think he would if he felt it was stupid/selfish which is usually the case when you get thrown out. Instead he apparently was tweaking the ref by saying that, a ref who happens to have a history with us.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

I don't approve of elbows to the head, but I'm going to give Gomez the benefit of the doubt by saying that he probably had a reason for what he did since he is not in the habit of throwing his elbows at other players. He deserved the penalty and to be kicked out of the game, though. League can give supplemental discipline by suspending him for a game or two and I still won't really have a problem with Gomez making the hit. The games he would potentially miss are essentially meaningless for the Devils. This isn't a pattern for Gomez, so I'm not going to get upset over it.

 

[MadDevil]

The GDT title is correct. I once again forgot we even played tonight.

Too bad. You actually missed a pretty exciting game, at least by Devils standards.

I wish the ones in 232 had stayed up there. Bunch of ****ing morons screeching for no reason the entire game until I told them to shut the hell up.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I love seeing that scrum by Matteau in the third. He needs to be mean.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Type of box score you really like to see. Reid and Matteau with goals. Lars and Merrill with helpers and a win for Kinky.

All good things.

 

[Unknown Caller]

rfa.

Kinkaid is an UFA, not a RFA.

 

[Emperoreddy]

My ideal situation to finish the season would be to cost the Rags the 1st seed in the East and then send them into a 1st round date with Boston.
