GDT: Devils vs. Sabres - Animal House - 7:00 PM MSG+2

[Its a Trap]

We all share your frustration. You have to focus on the positive or you won’t enjoy rooting for the team. At the end of the day this is entertainment and if you find the team is not entertaining it’s not worth your time. No one is suggesting this is a great stretch of games or that these are good results. Rather, I think the fanbase is finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. The team is still too far in the tunnel to expect them to emerge immediately and maybe the light is an oncoming train but compared to the past few years at least there is some hope and that is enough to keep me interested. No need to cannibalize your fellow fans.

What on earth is this ridiculousness. Who canabalized their fellow fan? Talk about crazy extremes.

The notion that “everything is awesome” that some here are hell bent on pushing is just as ridiculous as the “world is ending” counter argument.

While far from the biggest problem on this team, I don’t understand what some of you see in zacha. Awful awful player, should not be in the nhl

This just seems reactionary to people who love Zacha. He is a decent NHL player on what is a bad team right now.

 

[JimEIV]

That was a heluva pass from Wood

 

[Nubmer6]

That was a heluva pass from Wood

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that

 

[Better Call Sal]

Pretty even period overall. Have to think (hope) we'll get a PP next period.

 

[JK3]

Mueller looked ok.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

That was a heluva pass from Wood

When he first came up he was dumb as rocks and frankly I could never have imagined how much he'd improve in such a short span of time.

 

[JimEIV]

This just seems reactionary to people who love Zacha. He is a decent NHL player on what is a bad team right now.

If he was scoring he'd be a god around these parts.

 

[Bleedred]

How does Mueller keep his hair so dry and neat after wearing a helmet and playing that period?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that

Yeah I said that right away. I don't know where he found this vision, but he has been good on the dish this year.

 

[Nubmer6]

Zacha's seemed to be a bit listless out there this game. Need him to step it up.

 

[MauDevils]

3 goals in our last 13 periods.

He has. A few guys seem a bit lax. Actually, I'd say as a team they lack intensity.

Would be nice to see him win a board battle

 

[Jersey Fresh]

3 goals in our last 13 periods.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I think Elias thought Stan was a naughty-touching old man, he seemed scared in that interview.

 

[Bleedred]

I think I liked watching old Patty highlights more than watching us not be able to score on the slugs.

 

[Nubmer6]

I think Elias thought Stan was a naught-touching old man, he seemed scared in that interview.

He's not?

 

[JrFischer54]

When he first came up he was dumb as rocks and frankly I could never have imagined how much he'd improve in such a short span of time.

Yeah just imagined if zacha actually took that big a jump

 

[Darkauron]

Whole team sucks not just zacha. comeon.

 

[Jets012]

Palms transitioned from being useless the last few games to being a full-blown liability that period. Not good at all.

 

[Blackjack]

Mueller looked ok.

I thought he was pretty inconsistent, but it looked like rust more than anything else. He had some decent shifts.

 

[Andre Palot]

Zacha is to our offense what Peter Harold was to our defense back in the early 2000's

 

[BenedictGomez]

I think I liked watching old Patty highlights more than watching us not be able to score on the slugs.

I LOVED that clip they just played!

I was away at school his rookie year and never saw his first goal or that interview.*


*This was in the dark ages before NHL Center Ice

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Oh wow, Severson and Vatanen on the PP together. I noticed they didn't say Zajac and Boyle not together. That's the most important thing. Zajac and Boyle together on the PP.
