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

[Emperoreddy]

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.

This isn't on him, we haven't shown up yet.

Game 3 is obviously a must win.

 

[guitarguyvic]

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.

Bratt was goalied by Shesterkin???? That’s some revisionist BS. I can count on one hand the number of dangerous chances he created or was a part of.

A 73 point player is not a 70 point player…like wtf?? Those three extra points put him into a different tier?

Ridiculous level of apologism.

Blackwood, watching this shit play out from the press box ...

 

[Whaddagoal]

We got destoryed this game. Make no mistake.

But we coming home .... Keeping the faith

The worst part of this is I’m gonna be a mope for the next 40 hours until Sunday afternoon. My wife is going to kill me lol.

 

[NjDevsRR]

They quit, hirchier is a very good player.. 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 liveplay..

Wtf is this post.

 

[Mgd31]

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

Hearing that as well

So he got goalied now running into a ridiculous defense? Well I guess we can’t count on him to ever show in the playoffs since that’s where you usually find good/great teams. Bleh

 

[Emperoreddy]

Nico and Timo were goalied last series. Bratt has been meh

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

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

This is just nonsense though. He was literally the only player on the team with a positive goal differential going into this game. You guys have a raging hate boner. We get it, he isn’t a golden boy 1st round pick or the prize at the deadline and he’s a Euro so he’s the problem.

I don’t give a shit about Bertuzzi and it would be really dumb to give that glass asshole a bag.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

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

I heard Marty and Stevens are coming out of retirement.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

better than NYR, PITT, CHI and LA

At least there was a lot to cheer for and against.

At least for me.

I didn't hold 2012 against LA and I enjoy visiting both LA and Chicago. Whoever took out the rags or pitts was just gravy.

I can't stand a single one of the places where any of the potential remaining teams play and don't even have a player to latch on to.

Whatever, two at home next and by now we've actually been here before.

If the big boys don't step up I have no idea what happens with Timo and Bratt in the offseason. These guys were on their way to blank checks, and this is how they play in the postseason?

 

[JrFischer54]

I don’t want to hear excuses or being goalied or facing a good defensive team. These guys get paid a shit ton of money it’s great they can produce in the regular season but damn there’s a second season we need them to show up for too.

Or you guys can use your brain just a little bit? Every playoff run doesn’t go the same. Sometimes you get blanked. Sometimes you get hot. Pick a random good player and look at their playoff game logs. Massive variance in production is very common.

if you havent watched, then dont make stupid comments about him...thanks!

So next year facing Igor or a good defense he won’t get shut down just this year it’s not his fault. Got it

You’re right bud, the 4% on ice shooting percentage is very sustainable and exactly what we should expect from Bratt every playoff run. Your old doomer act was less annoying.

Maybe watch his play.

Ah the doom and gloomers are out in full force

Losers

And the nameless player you’re wanking off to that will replace Bratt will magically blow pucks past Igor and this Canes team like it was nothing. Got it.

 

[K8fool]

i watched the last two games.. I'm a Lindy fan. definitely not a stupid comment but I imagine game three will be interesting w Lindy against brindamour

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Season over. It was a good run.

NO way they can come back from down 0-2 in a series. Unpossible.

Bring out yer dead.

 

[Bleedred]

Blackwood, watching this shit play out from the press box ...

I can almost see him starting game 4 after Vitek blows up in Ruff’s face in game 3.

Watch us finally score 3 or 4 in game 3 for Vitek to allow 4 or 5 and we lose a close one.

 

[Devs3cups]

It's a cycle!
