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

I don't want to hear any excuses about the refs. There was 0 reason for Graves to initiate a cross check there.

Same for Palat, despite the slashes he had no business stickhandling the puck with one hand at their blue line.

 

[britdevil]

Please just score a f***ing goal

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I thought playoff hockey was supposed to be physical?

It always depends who is playing.

 

[Tiredswede]

that boarding call in the first is looking really weak with what they aren’t calling… and there is another soft one

 

[pulkit1989]

We are not testing Shesterkin yet again.
Cant even remember the last tough saved shesterkin made

 

[TF1970]

Fox is such a good true QB up top on the PP because his mobility allows him to be super rangey up there. Whereas Hamilton is essentially stationary bc his lateral agility is very poor.

One of these dipshits does that blue line shit once a period. It's f***ing maddening.

 

[guitarguyvic]

these are the types of takes I was talking about yesterday that are so outrageous, its hard to even respond to.

I mean…they’re playing worse in this series than they did in the average game last year. This is easily the most pathetic playoff performance I have ever seen from this team. Barring a miracle turnaround this is definitely looking like the franchise’s first ever sweep.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We should get a game management call our way at some point and the PP will have to deliver or we are f***ed

 

[FinnishDevil]

Its early but theres no way I couldve thought scoring goals would be a problem in this series. Everything but scoring but this is now the 8th period and were still sitting at 0 goals 5on5. Who had that on their bingo card LOL.

 

[NHL Fanatik]

Im not counting this game or any of this series against anyone but Wood and Smith for being penalty magnets

Ruff has completely failed this team by trying to 'ready' them for playoff hockey; hes completely neutered their offense and the defense cant hold forever with one goal in the series

so having a bad week of the playoffs is worse than having 63 f***ing points last year and being a laughing stock? Get outta here.

 

[PWiz30]

I feel an overturned goal due to a phantom goalie interference or an offside toenail 30 seconds before the goal coming.

 

[NJDevs26]

This looks like 2006 in reverse

At year 1 post rebuild I would've taken a 112 point season with Jack snapping the franchise record in points with a sweep. 100%. Still a gigantic step forward, bigger than any of us thought really.

 

[Blender]

All that talk about "putting the whistles away" and "Devils will need to play playoff hockey" and we end up in the box for soft calls while getting abused the other way. The league is a pile of shit and has been for years.

 

[britdevil]

Nico man

 

[vtdevils2k]

finally.

 

[FinnishDevil]

start PP2 pls

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Goodrow is a f***ing SCUMBAG

 

[MachoDiablo]

Go. To. Hell. Goodrow.

 

[sddev]

Nico not acting like a captain right now. Wake the f*** up.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Goodrow should be f***ing tossed at this point.

Yeah regardless of what happens from here we got a season's worth of enjoyable hockey to watch. The first in arguably over a decade because even Hall's 2018 MVP season was a bit rough if not for his heroics.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Please just score a f***ing goal

Anyway, anyhow. Needs to be done.
