GDT: ECQF Game 3: Your New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers, 8 PM, ABC/ESPN+

[MartyOwns]

I’m now wide awake at 3 AM from being too hyped and now you guys have gone and made me starving at the same time.

Taco craving might be satisfied later today. I don’t live far from Hackettstown and they have almost any different iteration of food you can think of in town. Just gotta pick the right spot. Great little breakfast spot that makes killer spicy dishes, might be a must!

Also god bless our broadcast team, especially Dano and Sal. We’re spoiled with those two.

i placed an order on the taco bell app last night during the 3rd, then i fell asleep before OT started and never picked it up lol. and also, missed the OT. being old sucks.

so pumped we won, f*** the rangers. MSG filled with blue jerseys reminds me of when you squirt that blue toilet cleaner into the bowl.

it’s not being old it’s the three joints you smoked before 10:30

Generally I shudder when I see five new pages overnight, it usually means fights are breaking out. Guess everyone was too hungry for that lol

What's hilarious is that the broadcast was so clearly biased towards the Rangers, especially the main commentator, can't recall his name. Always the little snark towards the Devils. "Bad Decision by...", "Everything seems so difficult for the Devils", "No shot attempts inn 4 minutes" right after a PK, etc.

I remember that line and thought the exact thing, they were just on a penalty kill.

This place took a delicious turn last night

Not sure if it's been brought up by now, but y'all need Taqueria Downtown in Jersey City in your lives. Super simple menu, LA transplants run it, and I feel like at this point I basically have an ownership stake in the place after all the money I've spent there over the years.

Rule of three there for me, though: if I'm getting tacos there I'll usually order three different kinds, and when ordering drinks I don't do more than three because they don't hold back on their liquor pours.

Taqueria is incredible. My cousin and her husband used to live in a building near there and we’d always get bomb ass tacos.

I also couldn’t fall asleep until about 2 last night when I typically fall asleep by 10 each night. Adrenaline was serious lol.

 

[Whaddagoal]

He really did. Solid performance.

I woke up and re-watched that OT goal sequence a few more times!

Sweet, sweet breakfast.

Thank you team!

 

[Aurinko]

That was a big big goal from Dougie. Was not expecting a successful snipe there and doesn't look like Igor was either.

They can’t they are choking

I don’t want bratt back. Sorry. Useless playoff guy

Very useless.

Can't even assist on a GWG.........

.......

...............what?

 

[Clam Jensen]

All hail Akira Schmidt! God that was annoying how they couldn’t pronounce his damn name.

 

[glenwo2]

Man Bratt is super chatty

Somebody must've showed him all the "BRATT F***ING SUCKS!!" comments here.

So he was purposely talking a lot because he can.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

This series so far has given me insomnia,sleep deprivation and headaches with an increased consumption of alcohol but, for some reason I feel better this am.

 

[glenwo2]

Hey a smile from Bratt - as goes Bratt, so go the Devils.

And all you need to do is post that he's a piece of sh-t here.

I mean...I went through the GDT during the game and HOLY SH-T, the level of utter HATE he got was insane.

 

[glenwo2]

I'm glad Bratt finally did something good. I hope this breaks him out of his nervous funk.

Dude...You were leading the charge in the level of Vitriol you hurled at him during the game.

Holy HFBoards RAGE, Batman!


I'm also glad he did SOMETHING Positive for a change but man....I have NEVER seen anything like this.

Hope he starts potting a few goals as well instead of whiffing on great scoring chances....

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Today would have really sucked if we lost last night.


So happy we didn't.

 

[BahlDeep]

Graves looks like Lia Thomas

Seems wrong. The coach is with these guys every day, he's the one the ice every practice, he's running the room, he's talking to guys about issues...then someone from upstairs is going to have a say in who plays and who doesn't?

Seems like a bad scenario to me?

Which is why sometimes coaches loses their objectivity on who to play. They get emotionally attached to them

If we had lost, I would not have watched the rest of the series and wouldn't post at all until either Bratt signed a contract or was traded.

Either one of those two.

Leading the charge seems a bit harsh as there were a lot of us in his case. He really was playing poorly even among a team of poor performers.

Yeah I know that's a bit much. My bad.

But damn....reading all of that, I wonder if many of you wanted to reach through the TV screen and strangle the poor guy.

Yeah it's funny my roommate comes back form his date night and is telling how Bratt is earning has next contract. Yeah Bratt had good wheels all night. Drove the net early when the ice wasn't absolute shit yet and almost scored.

It certainly wasn't just him.

 

[glenwo2]

We gotta sign timo long term. This guy is legit. He is a playoff made player whos a horse. If costs bratt so be it. SUPER unimpressed with bratt. Bratt just doesnt look like a playoff player

I'll just leave this here.

Two points (1 of them the Primary on the OT GWG).

I say he could be.

Not going to annoint him a "Playoff player" yet but tonight he took a big step.

I fell asleep before the taco talk started but after the game I cleaned out a bunch of leftover tacos in the fridge. Coincidence? I think not.
