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

[My3Sons]

Houston Diablos is actually kind of a cool name.

It has that Tex Mex, Southwestern-ish kind of thing about it too.

The logo designs itself. It’s the horns on a stykized H that is reminiscent of the NJ and maybe add some flames behind it .

 

[NJDevs26]

I'm actually less confident he's a healthy scratch on Saturday since he's already been sat for the better part of the third period tonight. Especially being a vet that, and being put publicly on blast was his punishment.

 

[BostonDevil]

So to the guys who are OK with the great play and the loss, do you get upset when they play bad and win?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I would say definitely good odds he's a healthy scratch Saturday

And good odds might only be 40%-50%, but if you asked me a week ago what are the odds Severson is a healthy scratch in a week, I would say the odds were less than 5%.

They won't scratch him nor should they. As much as we shit on Damon for that play, why did the coaches play him and Dougie a shift in a tied game? They deserve blame for that as well, basically playing the same type of dman and not to mention the same handiness.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ugh I forgot about the failed 5 on 3. PP needs help

 

[Saugus]

I think he's made his point. Now it's up to Severson to be better next game.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Lindy basically blasted Haula on the tossed stick, too.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

So to the guys who are OK with the great play and the loss, do you get upset when they play bad and win?

Yes, the Flyers game on the road was horrific but got bailed out because of Schmid and the Flyers being atrocious. It's also why them losing + playing well was to be expected with how hockey karma works.

All that matters is points, doesn’t matter how you get them. Nobody cares if you outshoot a team by 30 and lose

Not what I'm hearing in here from some

So to the guys who are OK with the great play and the loss, do you get upset when they play bad and win?

Yes. I was pissed at that performance in Philly.

So to the guys who are OK with the great play and the loss, do you get upset when they play bad and win?

for one game here or there? Definitely not. And its not so much 'getting upset'....its just unsustainable to play poorly and continue to win just as it is to play well and continue to lose. Law of averages.

Plus, with how the team played for 2 months, they get some leeway with me.

 

[Devs3cups]

So to the guys who are OK with the great play and the loss, do you get upset when they play bad and win?

I actually get a more "concerned" / imposter vibes when we play horribly and win. It's like the "we won" feeling without the "we played good" feeling. Tonight is like reversed for me. But if it's only one game, it's not too worrisome.

 

[Bleedred]

Good points about the late game benching maybe being an indicator that he's not a scratch on Saturday

But didn't we bench somebody last year for much of the game and he ended up being a healthy scratch the next game? I can't remember who it was.

I do remember Severson actually being benched, I think it was even this season after some play led directly to a goal against. I don't think he was benched the rest of the game, but he certainly was for about a period.

 

[Jets012]

Severson has actually been the Devils best D-Man the last couple of games. Which makes his giveaway so predictable lmao.

 

[Blackjack]

So Holtz and Zetterlund are NHL finishers? 10 goals in 57 NHL games is good enough for you to make that call?

See, that's the thing, I know it's not magic. It's very hard to do but guys who can do it are valuable. This team could use one of those guys.

You've got to be trolling. Holtz was literally drafted 7OA for his finishing. He has 28 goals in 55 AHL games and Fabian has shown plenty of finishing ability.

Nobody in the league can score at will, not even McDavid. No one can save you from being goalied. The team has shown that it has plenty of finishing ability.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Not what I'm hearing in here from some

Lol, no one's saying that. Who wants to see their team loses but it's not sustainable to constantly cave teams and lose, we're actually getting goaltending this year too.

 

[Devils090]

Lol, no one's saying that. Who wants to see their team loses but it's not sustainable to constantly cave teams and lose, we're actually getting goaltending this year too.

Sounds familiar

 

[NJDevs26]

So to the guys who are OK with the great play and the loss, do you get upset when they play bad and win?

Upset no but it certainly adds more fuel to the fire after they play a couple of other mediocre games they lose in. That's when people start mocking you when you point out but they haven't played well for longer than just the losing streak.

 

[Devils090]

Carolina wins their next game and the division lead is 2 points

 

[Jets012]

Lol, no one's saying that. Who wants to see their team loses but it's not sustainable to constantly cave teams and lose, we're actually getting goaltending this year too.

Goaltending has been average. Schmid's been real good analytically, but Vanecek has been mediocre and Blackwood flat out bad.

But fully agree with your main point that we're more than fine if we continue to cave teams in

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Carolina wins their next game and the division lead is 2 points

Damn, I really thought we'd have 140+ points this year. What a shame.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Carolina wins their next game and the division lead is 2 points

and if they lose their next game the division lead is 4 points.

 

[njdevils1982]

Lindy basically blasted Haula on the tossed stick, too.

in game he was hitting the front of his helmet with his stick in frustration after the call... he knew he was an idiot.

it was kind of funny... as we've all 'brain farted'

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Goaltending has been average. Schmid's been real good analytically, but Vanecek has been mediocre and Blackwood flat out bad.

Vanecek before the last week was pretty good but yeah this week has done a number on his stats.
