GDT: Games 82 Devils Vs. Capitals 7:00 PM - That's a Wrap

[Xirik]

We got scored on by someone named Snively

Whelp...

Its been a good run fella's but its time for me to go.

Let’s get a Schmid 2nd period entrance

 

[BostonDevil]

Your bit about the meter is getting old.

Oh no - Just getting started. I said it before I’m genuinely interested about how the meter/advanced stats translate to what is happening on the ice.

Like what it our record vs the meter this year? I want to know how it lines up with the scoreboard on a consistent basis.

I ask for the meter every game, some people just don’t like it (maybe you) when it’s not representative of what happened because they are married to it and don’t like when it’s “wrong”.

Should we be winning but for Blackwood? Have we really been dominated? I actually want to know.

The meter is there for every game. You can’t pick and chose.

Also, Sal must be crazy saying Jack had a bad period, because I was called out for that too.

 

[Devs3cups]

Maybe Akira starts the 2nd period.

If he doesn't that'll mean A LOT

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

3 goals against on .63 xG lol come on dude

Can't believe people defended him last year and laughed at the goalie away thing and then they see a 50 win team having the same problems with the SAME goalie.

I still don't really buy that they only had 1 HDCF the whole period. Watching the game told a different story

Blackwood might be the player I hate the most to ever play for us.

Sounds like a Harry Potter character..

 

[My3Sons]

I get on one plane and they fell apart? What gives?

You could laugh at Peters getting his head caved in, Blackwood's just a jackass

school of rock

 

[MVP Zacha]

My God, Blackwood is bad.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Thing with every other bad and overpaid player the Devils havehad (and there's a lot), is at least they filled a spot. Need minimum 6 D and 12 F for most games, so even bad period Rolston and blind Colin White and even the Peters of the world, there wasn't, every single night, an easy option to bench them in their 1/1 starting role.

Starting blackwood at any time is a f***ing choice, that we continue to f*** up.

I hate it.

I try to post the stats every game. You're clearly being snarky and sarcastic for no reason about the stats after basically every losing game. Some people, like me, find them interesting. You don't have to agree with them nor consult them if you don't want to.

The metrics aren't perfect, but they're far from random. I did a post a few months back and if I remember correctly the team won about 2/3rds of the games where they won the xGF% battle this year.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

We aren't getting any OoT help right now so most likely this result is meaningless

If that's the case that's the case. We have been better than the NYR all year. 3-0-1. They got Kane and Tarasenko and we added Meier. That keeps our roster ahead IMO. We didn't let Shitstreakin frustrate us. He's gonna make his saves and maybe steal games but, not an entire series if we play the right way. I'll sleep good tonight no matter what.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Elite sniper Joe Snively. Understandable that Mac couldn’t handle one off his stick.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

I lost my ability to laugh in an oyster shucking incident. Mignonette not plié.

 

[Bleedred]

And look, that guy that scored that first TERRIBLE goal on Blackwood, that's his SECOND goal this season. Some BUM.

It's not like it's Ovechkin or one of their good players.

 

[HoliksGhost]

Maybe Akira starts the 2nd period.

Nah, Ruff will keep Blackie in because he righted the ship last time… I could be wrong

 

[MasterofGrond]

Kaner gonna be good for minimum 3 goals against in a series.

His defense really has not gotten much better since the trade.

 

[RememberTheName]

Didn't have a chance to watch the 1st. Not going to blame that 3rd goal fully on Blackwood because of the turnover but my god does he never fail to make himself as small as possible in the net.

 

[ninetyeight]

Dude shouldn't have signed an NHL contract if he didn't want to get played.

I'll play goalie for the Devils if they pay me couple of million (well way less too). He probably tries his best, he just sucks, it's definitely on Fitz and Ruff for putting him out there. Do you think he demands to play there or something? No he says nothing, Ruff says Blackie you're in tonight and he goes out there. Childish highschool bullying to kick someone when he's down, at least direct your anger where it belongs.

Good AHL players can still score on scoring chances...maybe we should not give up a half dozen odd man rushes and pass it to the opposition in our slot.
