GDT: Devils @ Wild - 8:00 PM - MSG+2

[ScottyK]

How much longer is the Hughes on the wing experiment gonna last? Through tomorrow night? Through next week?

I hope its Ruff sending a msg to Fitzy. What he said today kinda makes me think that. We need another top 6 winger.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Missing the game but from what I can read Geertsen is playing and no one was deterred, right?

He played and Mango was the one who tried to fight tonight and failed because he took his helmet off.

 

[captainscott]

Looking forward to having a heart attack every time Jack falls down for the next 8 years

I’m not it doesn’t matter w or without him. This team is trash and has the wrong combination of players. We need a trade it’s time to say bye to some guys that have been here. It’s just a bunch of soft ass skilled guys ( w not enough skill) it’s not a team built for NHL hockey. And it can’t last in a full season and certainly would get crushed in playoff hockey but they won’t have to worry about that.

 

[Bleedred]

I feel like we've allowed more shots this period than either of the first two.

At least we're certainly on pace to allow more shots this period than the first two.

It's sad that the fans know that it's the wrong move and the coach doesn't.

THE HORROR .... THE HORROR

 

[My3Sons]

They should have ridden Fiala into the boards there. It’s clearly not a penalty.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Missing the game but from what I can read Geertsen is playing and no one was deterred, right?

Aside from us, from hope of a better tomorrow, yes you're right.

 

[BostonDevil]

How many of their even strength shifts feel like penalty kills?

All of them

 

[Devs3cups]

He was basically the center in that last shift with Zacha and Tatar. That’s a fine line, he can’t make that play on a 2 on 1.

He's gonna have to learn to shoot.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

THE HORROR .... THE HORROR

 

[billingtons ghost]

Yeah I am not sure how people are missing this. Team defense has been bad. Bad choices. Too many chances against.

I mean, I get what Bleed is saying - Blackwood didn't look that puck into his glove that he gifted Kulikov, and probably should've had the first one - but I just don't know what this season will be like if we don't have Blackwood firing on all cylinders - there's just no hope then.

 

[JimEIV]

13 in the first, 13 in the second and 10 right now

So it probably will be more

cool

 

[billingtons ghost]

I think you're probably right that we aren't going anywhere on Bernier's shoulder, but Blackwood has given up a couple stinkers lately. Even in the Tampa game. The first goal against the Sharks was a bad one and there's two tonight he could have had. Goals 1 and 4.

Agree completely.

 

[Emperoreddy]

He's gonna have to learn to shoot.

I don't think that was actually a line because that Zacha and Jack were with Nico again just now.

Idk what Ruff is doing right now.

 

[Devs3cups]

How tf does that not go in.

 

[BillyCostigan]

What I don't get is, if he's healed why would taking faceoffs affect his shoulder?

Just don't think Hughes is healed at all, probably got rushed because they felt they needed him now.

He doesn't play like he's confident, he plays scared.

 

[Bleedred]

So we iced Geertsen to play 4:11, Tatar hasn't even gotten 11.5 minutes yet lol.

 

[My3Sons]

Vesey really should have hit true goalie in the head with his stick a few times but made it look like he was going for the ouck

 

[Emperoreddy]

I mean, I get what Bleed is saying - Blackwood didn't look that puck into his glove that he gifted Kulikov, and probably should've had the first one - but I just don't know what this season will be like if we don't have Blackwood firing on all cylinders - there's just no hope then.

He isn't on top of his game for sure, but we got to be better in front.

I think Ruff is playing him too much. I don't think playing him into the ground is doing him and favors.

 

[NJDevs26]

I don't know, I've been alarmed for a while here. We haven't won 2 in a row in a while.

We haven't won 2 in a f***in week in like a month, or at least it feels like it's been a month. It's been close to it.

They've only had two multi-game winning streaks all year...the first two games of the season, and the three in a row in early November just before hitting the skids in the last nine games.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Come on Rango, a couple missed passes there.

 

[captainscott]

Missing the game but from what I can read Geertsen is playing and no one was deterred, right?

Deterred from what ? Playing hockey ? You are missing the game so it’s unwise to comment.

cool

Yeah say what you want but it’s true. They have some good moments but good players doesn’t mean a good team.

So we iced Geertsen to play 4:11, Tatar hasn't even gotten 11.5 minutes yet lol.

Yes. Get over it.

 

[MauDevils]

Is Sharangovich drunk?
