GDT: ECSF Game 2: Carolina Hurricanes vs. YOUR NEW JERSEY DEVILS, 8PM TNT

[Emperoreddy]

PK was right during Game 1. You need a B game, we currently don't have it and part of that is on the coach

 

[johnny pierogi]

So the league is now staring down the barrel of the final 4 being Florida, Carolina, Dallas, and Vegas.

Cool.

better than NYR, PITT, CHI and LA

 

[Devs3cups]

The feeling around here about Bratt is amplified 100x because of how the last 2 contract negotiations have gone. I'm sometimes guilty of this tbh, but I try to shake it off normally.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I'm pleading for them to put Luke in Sunday

Classic scene!

They quit, hirchier miles wood etc are very good players.. i haven't watched Hughes ( incredible numbers, sure im not seeing him at his best) , but seems like he's lost the vets like palat..w whatever attitude and effort after reacting to no call high stick last game , skating off complaining ( rightfully so during season) during live play..

 

[Devs3cups]

Much rather give him a couple hundred thousand more than you think he should get (which he is likely worth) than lose him, blowing a major hole in our depth.

How much do you realistically think Bratt is asking for?

 

[Comparison Ford]

i didn’t have much belief in the boys when they were down 2-0 to the Rangers

i still don’t now, so expectations are on the floor. maybe they turn it around?

Losing every puck battle all over the ice is not on the coach.

 

[HersheyBob27]

Luke for Graves and some actual tape sessions and adjusting.

We can't expect to just rush down them like we normally do. They are the best rush defense in the league. We have to adjust

You would regret that if luke gets tossed around like mathew knies

You aren't in trouble until you lose a home game

 

[Billdo]

I would like to see Luke and akira in next game. Why not. Akira deserves the net, and we have nothing to lose by Luke going in.

He's been pulled in 3 of the last four games. I wouldn't say he deserves the net but I'm not sure we have a better option tbh.

 

[DrBSmooth]

Perhaps the Top 6 have been out partying in Raleigh in the evenings, but all that Genucel has been masking the late nights out. Of course, not working for Timo.

 

[Eggtimer]

He has scored 73 points in the last 2 seasons so he is not a 70 point player. People have been wrong about Bratt his whole career so this is just whatever. Really tired of even talking about it. No one is replacing him, good luck with that.

Igor goalies us and we run into a ridiculous defensive team and we need to call out one player. Beyond annoying

What have you been watching ? Bratt has been worse than useless . He costs us goals. Only effective players have been McLeod Bastian Wood…. What’s the common theme there ? Spending 8 mil on Bratt prevents us from adding the needed pieces like a Bertutuzzi

Yeah but now we’re coming up on the eleventh hour, this has to be settled by the draft one way or another. You can’t have three failed long term negotiations and just keep him as a rental

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I'll play 11-7 next game and double shift Jack with the 3rd line to try and get him going.

Huala-J.Hughes-Meier
Palat-Hischier-Bratt
Tatar-J.Hughes-Mercer
Wood-McLeod-Bastian

Sigenthaler-Hamilton
Graves-Marino
Bahl-Severson
L.Hughes

Schmid-Vanecek

 

[Bleedred]

This series isn’t over yet.

Schmid on Sunday. He hasn’t been scored on at Prudential Center yet.

If we lose game 3 then it’s over. And you can try Vitek for game 4. There’s nothing left to lose at that point. There’s too much left to lose in game 3.

Schmid is still a .921% these playoffs after tonight. Vitek has one game of better than .900% and it was 1 goal on 11 shots in relief last game.

 

[Emperoreddy]

He's been pulled in 3 of the last four games. I wouldn't say he deserves the net but I'm not sure we have a better option tbh.

None of this is one him. Best goalie in the world is going to struggle with the chances we are giving up

I'd sure as hell rather lose with Hughes over Graves or Siegenthaler.

Although he should have been in all along, throwing him in ice cold right now is probably pointless.

 

[Mgd31]

My sources are telling me Smith and Blackwood confirmed in for game 3. Wow

 

[Devs3cups]

100% agreed. If he isn't extended by the draft, he's gone.

I'd sure as hell rather lose with Hughes over Graves or Siegenthaler.

Siegenthaler has been good these playoffs. Graves on the other hand, yeah, not very good.

 

[johnny pierogi]

we need to match their speed and forecheck with brute force and slowness

 

[Cheddabombs]

Hearing the same thing. Also rumblings that Mason Geertsen is on his way up from Utica, keep an eye on that folks
