GDT: Ducks @ GoodDevils, 7:00, MSG

[guitarguyvic]

Being here live to witness this…it’s actually really sad. The atmosphere is just toxic. A young team not meeting expectations getting booed off the ice, backed up by a terrible head case goalie, attempting to execute an incredibly stupid ineffective defensive scheme that everyone including them knows is dogshit, for a washed up lame duck coach being serenaded by chants calling for his firing. And none of these guys have a clue what it’s like to actually win more than you lose in this league. It’s the blind leading the friggin blind.

How many coaches and GM’s are we gonna go through? It al just seems so damn rotten from the top.

Devils had more shots. Analytics says that'll translate to goals and wins.

One day.

 

[Devils090]

4 goals scored through 7 periods in a league with over 3 goals per game average...not good.

Csnt even beat a team that’s given up 13 goals in 2 games

 

[EnglishDevil]

Also while he's far from the biggest problem on the team now that he's stapled to the fourth line, Tatar really should have gotten the Johnsson treatment as well. Dude brings absolutely nothing to the table most nights, it's easy to see why he didn't stick in Vegas (a team that actually works hard) and got permanently benched in the playoffs by Montreal during their run to the finals.

Zetterlund should be in over him.

Jack Hughes 0 points. He needs to wake the f*** up. I’m sure he’ll start playing at a point per game pace in late November after the season is already done.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah, that's the best end game here. So sad this early in the year.

It's not going to happen because it would be Fitz admitted he completely screwed the pooch not firing him during the summer and it most likely will cost him his job.

Fitz is going to go down with the Ruff ship. Both will be fired in December

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Anyone who mentions analytics should be put in time out

Will welcome the company.

 

[captainscott12]

As much as I think Ruff even coming back this year was a bad idea, I'm gonna feel even worse for him if he gets booed and mocked and chanted at if Blackwood has a bad game and lets in a bunch of goals.

In that case the fans really need to direct their frustrations at the guy on the ice that has only allowed fewer than 3 goals in 1 of his last 13 starts and maybe not the old man standing behind the bench.

After the intros the other night, it didn't sound like many more people were pleased with him than Ruff, judging by the reaction to him. It still wasn't as ornery as what Ruff got in the intros.

You just nailed it

Fitz is tight with Harris and Blitzer, he isn’t going anywhere.

 

[MVP Zacha]

Anyone know what Alain Nasreddine is doing right now?

They can’t wait that long. Tonight

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Used to be mad at Corey Crawford for retiring on us and now I realize he made the right choice.

 

[Jets012]

Bastian would have scored that if he shot it on Blackwood lol

 

[Puckclektr]

I want someone on the team to throw Blackwood’s track suit in the shower.

If the coach won’t bench him throw him out of the locker room.

I still think two of the first goals weren’t in him Palat and graves left their men wide open in the first game. He got blamed by fans many who have no idea how to analyze a play.
Today. Second goal silverberg was left wide open with four devils surrounding him. Peolle blame Blackwood
The first goal. It was a screen, puck want flat and very hard to read for a goalie and fluttered at the goal. Not easy for a goalie to read those kind of shots. That could’ve fooled many goalies. As I wrote this Salvador said the same thing

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I don’t, I’m sick of this team being awful and people like you pretending it’s not true and just an anomaly in a spreadsheet

and I'm sick and tired of people like you ignoring the .780 goaltending

so we're even, I guess?

 

[Whaddagoal]

So... Im afraid to check the previous 21 pages.

This team better f***ing turn it around. This lack of ability to score a goal is getting insane.

Boo birds out in force today with the 60% crowd

 

[Dylan9z9]

Stolarz had better stats last year than any of Gibson's last 3 seasons.

Still he is the Ducks backup. He is just one of many

 

[Nocashstyle]

at the end of the day, it all falls on teammates than on Jack, imo.

He didn't sign that pile of trash Smith that can't play D and brings 0 offense, our defense sucks at defending and other than Sevo and Dougie they BRING NOTHING offensively, it's ridiculous.

won't take much time until he breaks out

Yeah, but elite players produce no matter what. He’s certainly had chances. I’m not saying he’s a problem or I’m worried about him…but his lack of production so far this season has not done the team any favors either.

Can anyone post a nice fancy chart to show how we won the first period?

 

[Emperoreddy]

They can’t wait that long. Tonight

They can't but they will. Ship is rudderless

 

[None Shall Pass]

Wow Severson didn't even try on that goal lol

I'm over him

 

[MauDevils]

Wow weird...Sal blaming our defense?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Sal basically saying the players are dumb. I don't disagree

 

[Blender]

Maybe our forwards are struggling because they practice against Blackwood instead of an NHL goalie?
