GDT: ECSF Game 3: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Carolina Hurricanes, 3:30 PM, TBS

[Oneiro]

That was some superstar shit from 86. That’s what I want to see.

 

[Bleedred]

I hate to say it, but it's kind of hard to be happy with this win knowing Vitek is gonna play game 4, when he was the Canes BEST PLAYER tonight.

Because we really look like we can potentially get back into this one, but not with that kind of goaltending we had today, unless they continue to get that kind of goaltending that they got today.

I don't even wanna say potentially. We look like we can absolutely get back into this series, but we need our best goalie in there and that's not Vitek. At least right now it's not.

 

[johnny pierogi]

The flyers aren't really like that anymore.

if we can still be accused of playing the trap the flyers can still be assumed as being a scumbag team forever

 

[jkrdevil]

They need to go back to Schmid. You can’t give up a goal on every breakaway and high danger chance,

Other than that and the PP, they played well. Held them to under 30 shots.

 

[HoliksGhost]

2-1 series, doesn’t matter how you get there, it’s game on.

 

[DVision44]

Great win, go back to Schmid. Was Bahl hurt? Why go 11/7 if Bahl's only gonna play 5 minutes.

Probably because losing Graves you lose a PKer adding Luke doesn't replace that.... So they brought in Luke and Smith (who played well)

Bahl can PK too

 

[Puckclektr]

Yeah I know but the goal wasn't scored shorthanded. I get it, I just think it's dumb.

I see where you are coming from but he literally had a breakaway short handed. He created a scoring chance then and that scoring chance was taken away. His original scoring chance was short handed which is more of an accomplishment and IMO should be added to it. I see both sides.

Both him and Schmid have f***ing sucked this series. It's a bad spot to be in. I don't feel good about the series because of the goaltending and also because the Canes still have 2 home games to fall back on.

 

[JimEIV]

I think I have to go to the archery range on Tuesday now?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Those two SHGs really took a bit of shine off this one, but whatever.

Back in the series, big boys got off the cold streaks. And we know those Canes goalies are absolute trash.

 

[Forge]

Does natural stat trick track shift matchups? I'm curious to know how often Staal was matched up on Jack in games 1 and 2 compared to this one.

 

[Puckclektr]

Now for the Leafs to lose and it’s a great night.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

He's coming out next game isn't he...

I didn't see anything bad he did...

 

[PWiz30]

Oh my!

 

[Bleedred]

He's sucked too this series. Can't really go to Blackwood either. It's a bad spot. Thankfully the offense finally showed up

The difference is that Vitek sucked last series too and was also bad in relief this series.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Ruff doesn't seem to like him. He has to play perfect not to get benched.

I don't believe that, Ruff is big on Bahl. He literally stole smith's spot since last quarter of season and Ruff wasn't taking him out for anyone. Just a minor lesson for Bahl if anything.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Need him back

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Need Marty and company to have that talk with Lindy again about the goalie. Vitek looked putrid. Luckily their goalies looked worse.

 

[Maine Fan]

Congrats Devils

One at a time

Let's Go Devils

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Bahl should come out next game if he's gonna only play 6 minutes. You can't spend two game day lineup spots on Luke Hughes and Luke Hughes insurance in case he makes you mad. Just trust Luke, it's the best chance to win.

 

[Bleedred]

Need him back

He ded

 

[Devilsfan992]

Huge win. Devils need to learn to be smarter with the lead like they did against the Rags.

 

[Hisch13r]

I didn't see anything bad he did...

Just under 4 5v5 minutes. 7-3 Corsi. 0.72-0.1 xG.

 

[MasterofGrond]

i am manifesting a schmid start g4

 

[DVision44]

The difference is that Vitek sucked last series too and was also bad in relief this series.

And he was bad with the Caps in the playoffs... unfortunately it seems he wilts under pressure..
