GDT: Game #69 (Nice) Devils in Panthers Tropic Thunder country @ 6pm ET

That’s up there with the worst loss of the season. I couldn’t give less of a shit about the standings or any of that nonsense. It’s irrelevant. What does matter Hughes cannot score since his injury and Bratt is a total non factor.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Can we call up Nemec for Severson now?

I guarantee you Nemec would be better

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

We didnt deserve to win. Schmid stood on his head in first 2 periods and Florida got what they deserved in the 3rd

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Absolutely dog shit loss, Hughes and Bratt have to wake the f*** up. This loss would've been way worse if Schmid didn't bail them out the first 2 periods as well.

1998-99: 14-4-0-3 in April and lost in the 1st round

1999-00: 7-10-0-1 in April and won the Cup

Your late season record, like your regular season record with a certain team, doesn’t mean much at all in terms of Playoff results (as long as you get in).

Health is more critical.

I like winning too, and definitely want more from some players, but this isn’t going to affect the playoffs. It’s still March.

Great post.

 

[Call Me Al]

guys the refs didn’t lose this for us, that’s a weak excuse.

they blew it in the third and hughes and bratt have been garbage for a while

 

[Bramskii]

This team goes as far as Hughes and Goaltending takes them. Lately, both have been missing (not blaming Schmid here, just speaking in general).

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Yeah Severson gave up a 2-0 lead GTFOH

He wasn't the reason they lost, but he sure wasn't very good either.

Can’t be worse. That’s for sure

 

[TF1970]

Hughes has been a f***in disgrace lately. And Bratt. Nothing to do with lines, those two are not only not producing but they are liabilities with turnovers.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Earth to Ruff you can't Win every game by pulling the goalie with 2 min left ..... see Florida thats how you protect the lead

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Maybe they should put Hughes back with Haula.

 

[Japam]

This is going to be a hilarious post season

 

[Bleedred]

We’ll come to regret that if we have to play these ****heads in the playoffs

We’d have to actually win the division to get them in round one. To have any chance of it.

Too many more efforts like this + Carolina winning + the return of Little Richard = probably not winning the division.

Might even mean the Rangers passing us, but that’s really getting far ahead of things and I’ll admit borderline irrational right now.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Man, what's it like listening to drunk, mealy mouth Potvin?

No. Guy named Goldstein and Randy Moller.

Nope. Season's over. Just pack it in right now.

Way to let down Schmid. Hope to see some serious fire tomorrow. First adversity in awhile for these guys. Certain players need to step up and get back on track.

the goalie was the best player on the ice tonight

 

[FinnishDevil]

This TB/FLA stretch is a good one. Both of these teams play playoff style hockey and even if we controlled the play against TB, its a good learning process. God knows, there sure is a lot to be learned for this group despite being 3rd in the league.

 

[forceten]

Did we really go from 2-0 up to 3-2 down to the f’ing panthers in 150 seconds? What the f

 

[Cheddabombs]

Where in the world is Jesper Bratt?

absolutely

 

[PWiz30]

What a terrible day in the NHL. Our best players are invisible lately.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Bovquist and Mecer have been our top 2 forwards the past 30 days

That’s a problem

I still believe it’s injury related. There is no possible way his play has dropped off this much, without an injury.
