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

[Richer's Ghost]

Just let him stand there unchecked every PP. Like we don't know their go to play is the point shot to him for the deflection. Just leave him alone.

 

[Forge]

wait.. we have no shots on 4 PPs? HOLY SHIT if that stat is true like Albert said.

It is correct

 

[Blender]

Schmid and Luke in for game 2 please.

 

[Killing Joke]

Graves sucks

 

[Lou is God]

I loathe the pk. The Rangers can just skate and pass the puck around until they find a clear shot, absolutely no pressure what so ever.

You would think that with our speed, you don't play the sit back defense on the PK. I don't get it.

 

[NJDevs26]

We’d be better off with the Nas PK, pathetic

 

[Comparison Ford]

we saved our worst game of the year for the first game of the playoffs…nice

 

[NJDevils#4]

Just got beat in every aspect of the game. A nightmare performance for this young team. They’re learning what the playoffs are all about…and my concerns about building too soft of a team focused on speed is realized here.

 

[pulkit1989]

this game is on the coaches. They knew Rangers’ strengths and didnt adjust to them.
VV needs to do better.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Embarrassing game 1. Hopefully this wakes them up. It’s just one game.

Rangers game plan is clear and it worked tonight. Devils will need to adjust.

 

[devilsblood]

Only 16 shots by this point is not good enough.

Bunch of misses, and a bunch of blocks by the Rangers.

Not to dismiss you're point, just adding some color.

 

[BahlDeep]

Really flirting with disaster as they are f***ed if they go into MSG down 0-2

Sure, but hey let them gain experience.

It sucks that it has to happen against our biggest rivals but it is what it is

 

[Eggtimer]

Feel like our PK leaves the middle wide open and Rags clog it, wonder which is working better

We are trying to stop what the Rangers did on their PP during the regular season - set up Zibaninjad for the one timer. Well …. We have prevented that .

 

[Emperoreddy]

we saved our worst game of the year for the first game of the playoffs…nice

Our first shutout too

 

[BostonDevil]

This was the blueprint for losing

 

[Jersey Fresh]

What the devils did tonight goaltending tonight is akin to 8 straight 3 and outs in football and the fans blaming the defense for not holding them off the board.

Playing from behind is never a recipe for success. In neither football or hockey.

 

[HoliksGhost]

Ruff, prove your worth in game 2

 

[FinnishDevil]

It's true

WOOF.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Wood should sit next game.

I'm glad Rangers have been lethal on PP this game so Ruff might realize that you can no longer take a chance of carrying an undisciplined player like Wood in the lineup.

Bring in Lazar for Wood. And Hughes for Bahl.

 

[Tiredswede]

Luckily we can only be down 1-0 regardless of the score

 

[Killing Joke]

The way the rangers needed to beat us they did. Bad coaching by lindy, shit special teams and undisciplined hockey from that pile of shit miles wood who should not play again.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Bunch of misses, and a bunch of blocks by the Rangers.

Not to dismiss you're point, just adding some color.

The misses have been a real problem. The blocks is Ruff needed to make adjustments.

 

[Saugus]

I still like our chances in this series. This team has been too resilient all season to think they won't at least make it interesting.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Haula, you bum.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Let me see how it’s going in the old thread here I suppose
