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

[TheUnseenHand]

How is a team supposed to play physical when stuff like that is called a penalty?

 

[JimEIV]

I am still going to hold out hope that Zacha is going to breakout. Too much skill.

 

[Davegarri]

Am I missing something? Where was the penalty?

 

[My3Sons]

Weak call there on Mirco

 

[njdevils1982]

He had a goal last game, but he's in another one of his patented streaks where he barely produces, which he's been famous for this year.

I'm afraid of him having another one of his 5 points in 22 game streaks or whatever before the deadline. I think he's got one point in his last 7 or 8 right now.

its time to move on….

not the future….. too often out of the line up……

 

[Forge]

That doesnt make sense.

Boyle is an UFA & could just sign with NJ after the season if the team still wants him. He'd only be "away" from his son for 2 to 3.5 months at most.

You're assuming that A) we are going to bring him back, and B) that 2-3.5 months isn't a really long time to be away from your son, miss doctors appointments, put these things on your spouse, etc. We have no idea what's going on in his personal life with regards to these things. It can make all the sense in the world. And frankly, doesn't have to make sense to you or I, just has to make sense to him.

 

[JimEIV]

Zacha diving to make a play

 

[Bleedred]

This game already feels like we're only up by 1.

Even with that kill.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Zacha having a solid game

 

[IDEKWTM]

I am still going to hold out hope that Zacha is going to breakout. Too much skill.

He will

 

[Nubmer6]

He will

For US?

 

[haak84]

If you are not assuming, "we are going to bring him back", how does your previous comment about him not wanting to leave the area and perhaps refuse trades make any logical sense?

 

[My3Sons]

Couldn't disagree more. Our lack of defense is the main reason why we are where we are. Throw Brodeur in net with our "defense" this year and he would also look bad.

I honestly think that lately the goalie management has been horrible.
1. You automatically dont help cory by spot starting a "starter" once a week and hope for him to get out of his slump.
2. Same applied to kk shortly before Christmas when he was in his slump and they didnt play him for a week or 2.
3. You overplay blackwood when hes not used to, and cant handle an nhl workload. That sets him up for failure asking too much too early.

Really curious to see what happens when Cory's rehab is over...


I could see blackwood being part of a trade package this offseason based on his decent performance.

I think with a good defense the team would be good. Like 15 points better in the standings good. I think a good goalie might be worth 5-7 points more. I’m not suggesting just a goalie changes everything but it might be enough to get the team close to the Canes or thereabouts.

 

[JimEIV]

Beautiful Blake

 

[Nubmer6]

Nice snipe

 

[Better Call Sal]

I f***ing love Coleman.

 

[New Jersey]

ok idgaf how bad we are kicking the shit out of the pens is still fun

 

[palek1019]

COLEMAN!

 

[BenedictGomez]

Pickles just continues to impress.

Late bloomer?

 

[My3Sons]

That was kooky

 

[liquid1988]

COLEMAN! FUTURE NHL ALL STAR!

 

[JimEIV]

What a shot

 

[NjDevsRR]

Coleman can snipe anywhere from the blue line in. The maturation of his game has been nothing short of phenomenal. What a player. That snap shot is lethal.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Coleman is rounding into a modern Madden
