GDT: Flyers vs. Devils - 7:00 PM - MSG

Payback for winning a game the team absolutely deserved to lose the last time we met?

Goalie’d

The Bad News Devils really are back when it’s every goalie, backup and AHL goalie are playing like “Roy” and “Hasek.” Almost… supernatural

 

[Emperoreddy]

It's also concerning we can never come back to win a game. Our record when trailing late is really bad

Not even close. More one-man hockey with no screens or pressure in the crease.

Easy, selfish and soft.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

2 and 20 with nice games tonight.

 

[Unknown Caller]

This is one of the worst teams in the east. We don't play any one like that again for weeks.

They outplayed us last time we played them.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Preds
Rags
Stars
Flyers

We were clearly the better team in these loses.

 

[Saugus]

Bad time for an icing.

You aren't even watching the game, are you?

Not even close. We dominated. This is how we played during the streak. I don't care at this point if they lose like this.

It's human nature to be reactive. I mean, the team has passed analytical and visual tests. The latter at least passes according to my perception, lol. Just sucks when the reward isn't there and now you're down. Expecting the same team from November just isn't realistic and people just need to manage their expectations versus overreacting when things don't align perfectly like they seemed to last month. I mean, getting that lead on the rest was crucial because of things like this, which you expect to happen in a long season. Teams hit slumps even if their play doesn't reflect that.

Now, go Devils! Maybe we'll get a last minute goal for a change.

 

[Bleedred]

We were playing GREAT, but last few minutes looks like we're out of gas for tonight.

Meh. Schmid stole a game at some point.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They outplayed us last time we played them.

Which was also alarming, Flyers don't outplay teams

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I've really seen enough of Smith.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Pull VV.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

I've really seen enough of Smith.

Smith has been perfectly fine

This is a legitimate concern. We haven't been able to come back late in a game once this season.

Yeah we are cooked, another regulation L and games only get harder.

we've only lost a handful of games...? lol of course we havent had many comebacks

 

[My3Sons]

Which was also alarming, Flyers don't outplay teams

Maybe you should root for a better team with a winning culture like thr Rangers

 

[njdevils1982]

Bad time for an icing.

good time for a refill though

 

[NJDevilsFan21]

Other teams must have figured us out. We have a lot of shots but how much have we really made Hart move side to side? Not to take anything away from Hart who has made some big saves but the game doesn't feel as lopsided as the shot total suggests to me.

 

[Saugus]

Decent puck movement there, but very little movement off the puck. This is the same problem our PP has.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We aren't going anywhere playing sub .500 hockey which has been the case for two weeks now

 

[Blender]

Unbelievable.
