We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS! THIS GAME WAS COMPLETELY ON MARKSTROM!
EVERY. SINGLE. GOAL. FROM. THREE. TO. SEVEN. WAS. BAD.
Other than the the empty netter that was he on the bench for. And he probably would have allowed a goal if he were in net for those minutes lol.

if you have a good defensive system you don’t need a goalie like markstrom - look at the numbers daws and allen have put up. and logan thompson in washington. or stanley cup winner adin hill in vegas.
fitz overcorrected because he couldn’t identify what the actual problem was (though vitek was actually bad). markstrom had an amazing run in january but look at how our goalies played when he was out and you can see that we didn’t need to bid against ourselves to get him.
outside of the goals today could have been some of the worst rebound control i’ve seen in a while

At one point, Markstrom had a .913 GAA and was top 8-10 in the league. Well, that sure has plummeted. Can’t afford to screw around here. Every point is precious. Play Allen. That simple.
I think there's reason to believe he's struggling because of the injury.
But that's on management and the coaches and goalie department (Keefe and Rogalski, Marty, Clemmensen etc) to identify.
1-4-0
.828% save percentage!
That makes Cory's .862% and 0-4-0 March of 2018 look not so bad. That was enough to sit him until a playoff spot was clinched.
Markstrom has barely made 100 saves on 122 shots lol.
Devils got too high after the last 3 games. I guess it’s too much to ask to beat the Pens 3 times in season.
Regardless, Allen on Monday.

Didn’t play well but the goalie didn’t give them much of a chance. They have a pretty nice cushion, just win the next one.
Nate Bastian is a turd.

As I said, the team is 3-1 since adding Glass, which helps tremendously. 3-1 since the deadline. Today sucked, but overall I don't think the skater group gave up that much.
Hopefully they're fired up Monday, but even Monday isn't a do or die game at all, especially if the Rangers beat them tonight.
Overall, they're in a pretty good spot here.

He looked like he wasn't even trying at that point. I actually felt bad for him.
I won't feel bad for him if he gets shelled on Monday night. He shouldn't be in on Monday night.
If you can't play Allen for some reason they need to play Daws.
This game particularly deserves a benching, if none of the prior 4 did.
yeah if he’s still injured he should not be playing period. we didn’t need him back because we were getting excellent performances in his absence. not sure if he was rushed or if he is fully healed but we can’t play him if he’s going to perform like this in a playoff race
It sucks this is how this game ended up, but taking 6 out of 8 points this week was crucial. Especially the Columbus game. That has to be the type of standard we need the rest of the way.
I didn’t like our play at even strength today, but Markstrom really didn’t help matters either. Start Allen next game, he’s earned it.

the home/road splits help us a lot because i think the home crowds have been electric the past couple games.
