GDT: ECQF GM1 - New Jersey Devils host the New York Rangers - 7PM EST on MSG2 and MSGSN

[TheUnseenHand]

This isn't terribly surprising to be honest. Figures the team with all the experience is playing calm and the one with virtually none is running around like a headless chicken. This is where a coach needs to make his money. I have no doubt we are a better team. Just need to play our game. We have the most comebacks in the league for a reason. This game is not over.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Rags are a bunch of p***yes.

 

[Oneiro]

Severson is the guy who came in ready.

 

[palek1019]

Alright more of that please.

 

[DerekDevils30]

That’s a much better shift

 

[Whaddagoal]

Wtf marino and graves just standing there

 

[mdj12784]

I have no idea what this means. Nobody needs supposed fans to come in here and make comments that seem to revel in the devils doing poorly.

Because stats are always shoved down our throats.

 

[Eggtimer]

On the plus side, all my anxiety is gone. They're not even doing enough to get anxious about. Hopefully that changes.

Same here .If we were out playig them and not scorif I’d be wigging out but s s just crap so far.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Starting to sound like a road game

 

[AfroThunder396]

Get out of the period down 2 and regroup. Nerves are normal, get it out of your system. 40 minutes is plenty of time to get 2 goals back.

 

[BahlDeep]

Let's go Nico

 

[Bleedred]

Ummm, you know who would be getting the job if they fired Lindy, right?

Brunette

If the Blue Jackets don't get to him first

Better hope the Leafs choke out again, as one of the teams with a vacancy will undoubtedly go to Keefe

And Sutter is just waiting for the new GM to be hired to tell him he's done

 

[sddev]

Nico with a golden opportunity. Need to bury that.

 

[mdj12784]

Starting to sound like a road game

Very much is. Unfortunately…

 

[Signal]

Like a lot of you are saying, this an incredibly young team with basically zero playoff experience. They are being thrown in against their number one rival on the big stage. Of course they are going to be nervous. Hopefully they will settle down soon. I was afraid this could happen. But I am extremely proud of this team. Just making the playoffs was the real goal this year. And whatever more they can accomplish will just be icing on the cake. Let's go Devils! Loosen up boys!! We're all behind you!!

 

[NJDevils17]

Nerves mostly I think but they’re also playing a weirdly more physical game when it doesn’t always make sense

 

[MasterofGrond]

Folks, I actually love the playoff doomers.

If anything gives me faith we can recover it’s them.

 

[Homedresser]

I'm not saying to fire him, but definitely not prepared and power play killed all momentum.

theyre playing their 1st playoff game against a legit cup contender that went to the conference finals last year. add to that bulidng has an incredible amt of rangers fans in it. nothing to do with coaching.

 

[MartyOwns]

more of this, let’s go

 

[MauDevils]

Hughes and Bratt need to hit the f***ing net.

 

[Saugus]

Good. Shots, and some emotion.

 

[Eggtimer]

They're blocking everything and making it difficult to move up the ice and gain the zone

Yup. They gameplanned very well . Taki g away what makes us better then them. We need to try to dictate the pace .

 

[Homedresser]

Very much is. Unfortunately…

insane number of rangers fans in the building. great job by the devils making that possible.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Keep missing the net

 

[mdj12784]

Oh Marty… sads emoji

 

[jkrdevil]

I don’t think they are playing that bad. Just not hitting the net and took a stupid penalty.
