You are way too obsessed with Blackwood.
Just wait until he actually comes back and is on the roster again.

That's literally the only thing that I think is gonna potentially cause us to bleed out.

Aren't we still leading the division? How are people thinking we're going to wreck our season in December when we're still in first place? We'd have to lose every game for the rest of the month, and that is unlikely.

Yes, the trend of 4 losses in a row is concerning. Yes, the lack of finishing is frustrating. But far more often than not, they will win games where the shot disparity looks like this.

All our wiggle room is going to be gone by new years at this rate.

Banking points means shit if you just go into death spirals afterward.

What? That's why you bank points so if shit likes this happens that your season doesn't end, I swear you guys are just baiting for reactions at this point.

On the one hand yes (especially in a GDT when he hasn't arrived yet), on the other hand it is going to be an issue as long as both these goalies are playing well and he's taking starts from at least one of them.

Just like some people couldn't wait for the team and certain players to start slumping, you also can't wait to spoil for a fight with other people apparently

when people are going to rant and rave like children after a couple losses in a row, games in which they did not even play badly, yes I am going to respond. ESPECIALLY after what this team did for 2 months to start the year.

Nice to see the excuse train is still coming to the rescue. Peace out. See ya if they can string some wins together. Or else I ain’t wasting my time watching
Hard to respect fans that peace out when things get tough and only show up when they win. Good lord, Devils fans can be spoiled brats.

Unlikely but not impossible with that schedule, that's where the panic is coming from.

Is he your boogeyman? Hasn’t been with the team for how long, and you can’t help but be obsessed with him. Very strange
But he'll be back soon and it's gonna lead to likely more losses.

If we wanna stop the bleeding, we can't be icing that player too much, as that position is too important.

Vanecek has also tailed off a bit.

It's not that he's playing badly, but he's playing closer to his career numbers now and not so much looking like a ''Breakout'' performance, like what it potentially looked like earlier on.

Why do you care what someone else acts like...just ignore it. Attacking the whole board solves nothing.

Lol. What is it that you’re seeing that makes you believe they will go into a death spiral? You think a team that’s been averaging 4 goals a game and just doubled up the shots and chances on their opponent is going to suddenly become a 2 goal per game team for the rest of the season?

These takes are absurd.

you guys are so f***ing dramatic
A lot of of this luck driven and things going the other way from where they were a month ago. But I can look at the schedule for the rest of the month. Even playing well Carolina, Boston and Florida aren’t easy games. This is a still a young team and and they are still human. Given the schedule one can easily turn into a mental thing where it end up not playing well as a result.

If they can't score an ES goal against Philly, why would you expect to score against Carolina or Boston?

We aren't putting 50 shots up on the Bruins next week

Thanks for letting me know, let me know what the lottery numbers are too since you're from the future.

That was after a sequence where he got beat and then iced the puck on a horrific breakout pass.

Context matters.

How did getting beat once and one errant breakdown prevent the Devils from scoring an even strength goal?

The game-winning goal was scored with two defensemen on the ice who make nearly $14 million combined.

Think that's a bit bigger issue than Brendan Smith's play.

Perspective.

because every single NHL hockey game is different. And teams will almost never get a goalie performance like Carter Hart put forth tonight?
