GDT: ECQF Game 2: Your New Jersey Devils @ Carolina Hurricanes, 6 PM, MSGSN, ESPN (CAR Leads 1-0)

That player is gone.

He's old and washed up now. He was in his 20s and maybe just barely into his 30s for all of that.

It's like asking your 90 year old marathon running grandpa if he had one last run in him.

I’m sure I do but I ride a bike I can’t run because my knees aren’t up to it anymore

 

[SwissFan12]

wait so is burns straight up headbutting timo just gonna get glossed over?

Yes, everything is going against NJ right now

 

[MadDevil]

I do like this multiview option on YouTube TV.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Great chance, good hustle by Bastain.

Really? I missed that I must have been in the bathroom taking a Palat

 

[Satans Hockey]

Taking a step back I see 1 playoff round win in 13 years and a whole lot of mediocre hockey for over a decade… right now that’s what I’m seeing. I’m at that point of my fandom I guess. I’ve been optimistic enough.

Ask me 1 week after we get eliminated, most likely in 2 games, and I’ll probably be able to look at the context and intricacies about this year’s team.

Only out of the 1st round 4x since we won the 03 Cup if you really wanna be miserable

 

[NjDevsRR]

I mean they’re gonna have to win one and probably two on the road if they have any shot of actually doing something in the series, if we’ve already thrown in the towel after one game that’s more pessimistic than even some of us doomers want to be lol

No. They still have a chance at home if Luke comes back due to Canes mediocre road play. And yes, of course they have to win one at Raleigh.

But it’s borderline insane to expect a W tonight given the circumstances while also writing off the effort, the effort that we all were asking for.


This roster is freaking bad. The fact they are still in this game is frankly amazing

 

[Billdo]

Still waiting for "Playoff Palat"...

He needs to be off this team by July. Buy him out, give someone something to take him for future considerations, anything but he absolutely cannot be on this team in September.

 

[SwissFan12]

watching the replay of burns headbutting Timo and the ref saw it all the way wtf

 

[SJinNewJersey]

They didn't miss it, they just didn't call it. This is why Refs should be pulled from games afterwards when you miss something so blatant.

 

[JimEIV]

NHL reffing is a joke

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

People are shocked that Carolina has a good home record, you think it's by skill? Lmao

 

[Bleedred]

I miss our 2023 team

 

[MadDevil]

Either ignore it or a major? This league is so f***ing stupid.

 

[HughesCorporation]

Once the icing happens at the end of the shift, icing it 3 times in a row off the draw isn’t a horrible play. It buys rest.

they should just award carolina the puck at the blue line.. faceoff is a waste of time

This is moving goalposts

I am talking about tonight. Expecting a W tonight is just, crazy

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Lol they admit it was a headbutt and no call oh well

Expecting? Certainly not…being annoyed they might blow the opportunity? Certainly

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

honestly im ok with no call on the headbutt

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Glad we don't call headbutts but soft slashes on the wrists, priorities after all

 

[Dialamo]

If you told me we would only be down by 1 entering the 3rd, I'd be ecstatic considering the circumstances.

 

[Devils731]

I wish the refs had decided a check wasn’t worth 5 against LA in the finals.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

honestly im ok with no call on the headbutt

They literally called Timo in game 1 for the same thing

 

[guitarguyvic]

They are, Rags can at least win games in the conference final when they get there and have made a Cup Final with guys on the current roster

Yeah lol see my edit

 

[NJDevils17]

How cool would it be if Haula could handle the puck?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Yeah lol see my edit

It's them or Winnipeg but Winnipeg had that West Final v Vegas that they won a game in at least lol
