Trocheck's face is way high on the punchability scale

Stats that say a good team is good?

Seems like you want to be salty, bruv. Maybe interrogate why.

Even when we’re “outplaying” but still losing? My absolute favorite worst take

 

[Devs3cups]

Expect the nerves to settle and the boys to come flying in the 2nd. This is only game 1 fellas, we've seen this before, most recently in 2012.

Hamilton is a moron

I don’t like his positioning on the PP… seems too far back ? What’s up with that ?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I have never seen this team have a bad 1st period and then come back and win a game. This series is over!

stats that don't mean shit when it's the postseason, as we can clearly see right now.

[JimEIV]

Need to settle down and regroup

 

[Saugus]

Kind of lame to come out of the period down on shots when you had 3 PPs to 1 of theirs.

But we did settle in by the end. Now we need to dig out in the second period, where we've tended to be good all season.

Make that long change work for us, boys!

 

[Emperoreddy]

We need to come out flying next period.

You want to end the 2nd tied. Trailing in the 3rd to Igor isn't ideal

 

[Tiredswede]

They settled down after the first 10. Now looking like the better team.

2 more periods and several more games before this is decided

 

[Forge]

The "devils inexperience will do them in" crowd definitely won that battle in the first.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Too far back and wide. You can't defend a turnover if your butt is pressed against the boards flat footed. Move between the dots on the blue line then rotate down on the swing. Like they did all regular season???

 

[My3Sons]

If they were only down one it would have been a good result. They have to pick up the pace. They are just a hair off on everything

 

[Guadana]

I have never seen this team have a bad 1st period and then come back and win a game. This series is over!

Same scenario from game to game this season.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Played a lot better 5on5 the last 5 or so minutes. PP needs to be a lot better. 2-0 down is a tough pill to swallow when you have the 3-1 PP advantage.

That said, it’s so f***ing early. I have faith in this team.

 

[mtnet]

Ruff gotta get them settled and simplified here

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

The pp still sucked, what a shocker

 

[Bleedred]

If we had only had one power play this wouldn't be so disheartening right now.

All it's done is help them and kill our momentum.

 

[Alex NJD]

Stay out of the box was a big point and 17 guys out there played a clean period. But one guy ruined it for everyone. If we're down 1 goal right now I'm feeling a lot better.

PP is a whole other story

 

[Cheddabombs]

Just need to settle down and get to their game. It's period 1 of game 1, lots of time to right this ship

 

[Devs3cups]

Funny thing with people laughing at "stats" this year is that the positive stats translated to a historic season for the team. Maybe they have some legitimacy? Nobody thinks they're the end all be all, but they are useful.

LGD. We can come back, January 2023 style.

 

[JimEIV]

I was talking about that 2 on 1 he created with his indecision in no-mans land. He nearly cost us a goal with that.

 

[JK3]

Missed the start but they look timid kids who haven’t played under any pressure.

Hopefully they regroup in between periods, time for Palat and Haula to calm things down.

We’ve been a comeback team all year. Get one asap and we’ll be rocking.

 

[Devs3cups]

Exactly. We've been down before and we've seen this before in 2012.
