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

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Dougie with beyond no effort to stop that empty net goal.

Like seriously. Couldn't even be bothered?

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Lindy needs to shake up the Iine up a bit next game,

He did already. That's all he's able to do though apparently.

 

[Nemec]

Why pull goalie ?

 

[palek1019]

It's something. Hope they put this turd of a game behind them.

 

[BostonDevil]

Phew! I was worried they weren't going to be able to add more love for "The Kid Line"

 

[devilsblood]

Hughes played well today but a lot of the team looked like shit.

Thing is, PP is a big problem, and Hughes is a big part of the PP.

Same goes for Nico Bratt Meier and Hamilton.

 

[Lou is God]

how many guys have their first career playoff goal on a penalty shot?

The answer to that would make a great trivia question.

 

[Saugus]

Hughes tried to and almost split the D right before the Chytil empty netter. That would have been sweet, but unfortunately it didn't turn out.

 

[Devs3cups]

Holy f*** if I posted the metrics for tonight I think I'd cause warfare on this board lmfao.

I'll just leave you with this.

Shit game, turn the page get ready for game 2!

LGD!!

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the Devils were shut out in Games 1 and 3 in 2012 against NYR, don't forget....

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The Rangers did nothing 5v5 tonight. You can argue they didn't need to but they sheltered after getting the 2 goal lead. Score first in game 2 and it's a different game.

 

[JimEIV]

I know, I'm just feeling salty and cynical after this shitfest tonight.

I feel that way most of the time too.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Rangers adapted. They adjusted their PP. They adjusted how they defend . Simple . They outcoached us . Our special teams got destroyed and VV couldn make any big saves .

Yea. It's true goaltending was shit, but if that's gunna be the excuse, might as well just forfeit the series cuz they won't have a chance if that's what they're going to rely on anyways. They need to not be outcoached. They need to not play like shit.

 

[Bleedred]

DD intensifies

Outstanding game from the Rags and Shesty. Give them credit and take notes. This is what a championship caliber team looks like folks and this is what we need to aspire to be. Of course it would be nice to have a quality head coach behind the bench.

Thanks again FitzHarris

Hughes played well today but a lot of the team looked like shit.

Don't think so, looked like his early-season shelf, a few nice meaningless movements with lots of turnovers.
Agreed on the rest of the team, not many positives....

 

[My3Sons]

If NJ can get it together they can win these games but they can’t play so passively in zone on defense and on thr PK

 

[FinnishDevil]

Positives

- You only get one win

Negatives

- Everything else

Back at it Thursday.

 

[VoidCreature]

One goalie was great and the other was ass

 

[Billdo]

Well at least we weren't shut out. That's gotta count for something.

Cool so does that mean we get awarded goals after the game ends?

Hughes at least tried but he didn’t play well offensively when there were skaters on the ice

 

[Emperoreddy]

Game 2 is a must win.
