GDT: Everybody Wants to be Up, It's All Uphill from Here: Your New Jersey Devils @ Pittsburgh Penguins, 3 PM, ABC/ESPN+

  • 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.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
I am not seeing this one... I saw the Glass goal on NHL.com I know the score but how has this looked so far? Shots look close?
neither team looks really good but as is typical their chances all go in our chances miss the net or go right in the goalie’s chest

Terrible game to lose too. Score first, a rarity, do a great job first 16 minutes of the first, and then coast and you just knew they'd let up a goal. And then a collapse. Four in a row is whatever - but we need the wins here, we're not really that far ahead.

What a lousy period. If they can wake up I still think we can steal the win. Hell maybe even a point would be acceptable after the way they’ve played today.

We're not going to win a whole lot if Markstrom keeps averaging 3.5-4 goals per game like he has since returning.

1-3(4?)-0 since.

We’ve largely looked sluggish. A shame that the shorthanded goal was offside, but we have been getting outworked for most of the game.

Hopefully they can flip a switch in the 3rd, but this effort won’t cut it.

This team really disappoints when they think they are cruising.

It wasn't so bad until they got down 1. They really f***ed themselves

Home and road this is a different team without Jack. That can probably survive at home without Jack because of the last change. On the road without getting the matchups it looks like a struggle. They weren’t doing well on the road before the injuries.

I was so pumped too!! lol. Thought we were back in the game.

It feels like the zone exits are a mess, and we’re struggling to have much possession of the puck at even strength.

We really shot ourselves in the foot on that early PP in the second. We passed up possible open looks for the perfect shot and it never came.

If that's the case, fortunately we only have 5 left after today on the road and 4 left on the road after Columbus and this two game road trip.

I think we have 9 left at home?

How is PK going to see more from Haula? He's not playing.
That wasn't even the weirdest thing he said in that segment. As he may just be talking in general and not in this game.

He just said ''Are the Penguins gonna make the playoffs? That's a big maybe''.

The Penguins can get 96 points if they win every game for the rest of the season.
 
I’m late. Just watched the goals against.

1st- yes, you’d like no rebound there but you’d also like your dmen to clear the puck out of harm’s way

2nd- awful play by Mercer and played terribly by Markstrom. Hold your position and don’t flop like a fish

3rd- Duomolin wiping out took himself out of the play. Brutal. Where’s the coverage on Rakkell?! Who missed him? You can’t give a goal scorer that kind of chance from the slot.

Not all on Markstrom but he needs to be better. I’m more appalled by what I saw from from the D.

Bottom Line: 1 goal against this turd of a goalie isn’t getting the job done.

I haven't been so frustrated at the PP in awhile and that was comical, because within a few minutes we gave another goal up. They looked like they were trying to dunk it in the net, why not take a circle or a lot shot. My biggest pet peeve with this core of top 6/PP.

No one wants to say "guys I'll get the goal" everything is defer on PP

Lazar was a stride and a half late. Agreed Mercer was ASS on the earlier one and Marky flew way out of the position. Silly stuff but game breaking
