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

[Emperoreddy]

Kevin Bahl is becoming exactly what we need him to be.

Big Bahl

 

[Emperoreddy]

Man Bratt is super chatty

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

We should still put Luke in next game

If we do, we go 11-7 with probably Boqvist out. I thought Lazar and Bastian we good on PK and they keep their spot in the lineup.

Schmid maintains his 100% SV% against low danger chances. You just don't have to worry about this guy letting in goals from the outside.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Why you lying dawg? We all know it's your illegal stream

Actually I was at my parents house watching the game with my family. We left after the third. Got home and to my TV a few minutes before Dougie scored. Turned my TV on then the internet bombed out and the stream box froze. Super annoying.

2-2 on Monday.

Don't forget that Dougie was the one who got the puck back to Hughes for the first goal when the Rangers way overplayed their left side and left Jack with room.

It's also easy to forget that Bahl was acquired in the Hall trade. He is the type of prospect every team seems to have, but few actually make it. It's nice when they do make it, especially with his size.

 

[NJDevs26]

Schmid might be Cam Ward to Vitek's Martin Gerber lol

 

[Devils731]

Dougie is the stoic philosopher. Others don’t understand why does he does what he does but he will calmly take your questions and show you the rewards that await for following him.

 

[Camille the Eel]

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

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Schmid maintains his 100% SV% against low danger chances. You just don't have to worry about this guy letting in goals from the outside.

Curious, what is considered a low danger chance? Is it based on distance? Just wondering cuz I didn't think the Kreider goal was a high danger chance.

Was just neutralizing Rangers all night

 

[guitarguyvic]

They’ve got four players guarding the blue line. Our rush game just isn’t there.

We have enough talent to get around that, at least I think we do. It just doesn’t seem like there’s a whole lot of tactical adjustments being made.

Keep in mind that what the rangers are doing also comes at a cost for them offensively. They’ve hardly generated anything at even strength themselves, the biggest difference is that they’re sacrificing it intentionally.

Devils have to break their plan if they want any hope in game four/the series.

DANO WITH THE THICKEST TIE IN HISTORY

OH MY

 

[DrBSmooth]

Is it just me or did it seem like Hischier had some iffy plays in the defensive zone late in the game?

 

[Team Concept]

I don't want to see Smith or Wood on the ice again this series.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Great shot by dougie. Even better space play by Bratt... Nico pass to bratt.. Amd nice mercer in close to net

 

[Bleedred]

Schmid is a .926% in about 973 minutes of NHL icetime this year. That's playoffs and regular season combined.

I'm cautiously optimistic as Blackwood's NHL start/rookie year was similarly impressive and at about 7 months younger than Schmid is now, but I don't think you can leave him off the opening night roster next year.

The GSAx stats on moneypuck that break it down per minute have him near a half a goal saved above expected per 60.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Hopefully we settle down now and play our game with the monkey off our back. All the pressure is on the Rangers in game 4.

Bahl was a beast too, just grabs dudes and rag dolls em.

We also have to stay out of the box.
