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

[DEVILS130]

Welp 2-0 Canes anyway

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Bratt put it right into Kuemper. Had a ton of net.

There just isn't a ton of focus. They are playing this like a preseason game.

 

[jkrdevil]

Welp 2-0 Canes anyway

Honestly that is good. None of this matters.

 

[NJDevs26]

Now it’d be amusing if they got to 4-3 and showed up management for playing Deadwood over Schmid

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Welp 2-0 Canes anyway

They will probably shut them down.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That was such a bad shot by Bratt I wonder if he purposefully aimed for the pads

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

Canes up 2-0.

This game could be a blessing in disguise if it convinces management to have Schmid as backup in the playoffs.

Also opportunity to give LHughes and Lazar like 20 minutes of ice time each to see what they got in case we need them in the playoffs.

 

[NJDevs26]

Welp 2-0 Canes anyway

We took ALL the pressure off them when they saw that three spot go up

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Still have a feeling we can get back into this game with Akira in net.

 

[forceten]

Send blackwood down to Utica. It won’t make a difference to them.

 

[DEVILS130]

Honestly that is good. None of this matters.

Agreed I think it’s a wash Rangers or Panthers. Either matchup is tough. Would’ve been cool to get the division title but whatever

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Honestly that is good. None of this matters.

Yeah but it sucks that Mac was pulled. I wouldn't have minded watching him give up 10 if Carolina was going to win anyway.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The leash is off Luke

 

[Devs3cups]

Speaking of the meter, what's this shitbag's expected goals for tonight? 1.11 or something? And 4 against?

4 GA on 1.14 xGA

 

[VoidCreature]

Look at Luke boys

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Luke carving up the D there.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Luke looks very very good

 

[Edmonton East]

Jack has played like shit for months now. You guys just get mesmerized by points. He has at least 3 horrendous, dangerous turnovers per game. And when his line struggles, it's typically because he's puck hogging more than usual and making things way too difficult. Let's see how that goes in the playoffs.

Great player, but he understandably still needs to develop. Too much pond hockey and/or brain dead bullshit for a "top" player right now.

 

[njdevils1982]

[MasterofGrond]

Look the canes are good, they were favored to win this game, I’m not mad this game is meaningless.

But I’m mad at the utter capitulation of starting Blackwood before knowing it was f***ing meaningless.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Been waiting for a rush like that from Luke

 

[Devs3cups]

Luke is our best skating D-man since Will Butcher

 

[Billdo]

HE BETTER f***IN BE!

Unfortunately he isn't, he's an RFA. We CANNOT qualify him.

No way, no how.

Unless he wants to take league minimum.

If we don't qualify him he is.

.893% for the second season in a row.

And .893% over his last 77 games. Now THAT is CONSISTENCY.

For some reason when I view this forum on my phone it starts at the bottom so I have to scroll up... I knew EXACTLY who wrote this prior to even seeing the user name and I 100% agree. Blackwood CANNOT be back next year.

No actually Florida was

 

[Bleedred]

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.

Maybe he should make a save? But why would I expect an .893% goalie over his 77 games AND last 2 seasons (that's literally what he's been his last two seasons now) make a save on that?

That was not a dangerous chance. It was defended, there was no pass. Goalie was just off his angle.
