They lost….it’s over…no need to try and excuse it so vigorously…they need their offensive guys to score.

Twabby, I would be very interested in the analytics on Devils had they been shorthanded 2 more times that the refs chose to ignore calling? Just what it was for Devils and what it really should have been. I'm just so irate with the officiating!

I believe he will at least 1-2 years of the deal. I believe!

Very easy to just move on, but I won't. It really bothers me when the officiating job is to call the game based on the rule book, but don't with ignoring even the most obvious infractions.
Do the simple math. Devils PP is running at 30%ish and the Caps PP is running around 15%. You give 5 PP's to one team and only 2 to other. Which team is going to be more negatively affected in the game? The Caps!

PLD is already at a better production rate than he was with one full season with the Kings. I'm not worried about him. He just needs to keep doing what he's been doing, but maybe slightly shoot the puck more, and he will be fine.I believe he will at least 1-2 years of the deal. I believe!

Pretty even game that they grew into. Special teams and blocked shots the difference. Thought the third line and Roy were particularly good, 4th line and Fehervary particularly bad. Miro looked a bit peripheral but very importantly was completely fine on defense and the forecheck. Probably deserved a point but oh well
And as bad as the refs were in the Caps game it was far from the biggest screw job against a DC team tonight -- the Spirit got absolutely robbed in their championship

The thing is you ALWAYS blame the officiating when we lose - it's a bit tiresome, especially when you post about it 27 times in a GDT.
Genuinely good teams find a way to overcome. Our team looked pretty average tonight.
That sounds like an unreasonable expectation and a recipe for disappointment.

A hot Ovie masks a lot of ills. Losing that suddenly has been a shock to team offense.
Also, what's up with the schedule? It seems like they've been playing top teams every night for weeks now.

Dude, stop complaining nonstop about the officiating. Sometimes the calls don’t go your way, but you still have to execute and win the game. You can cry about a potential game where everything got called, but that is all speculative. You can whine that maybe the Caps could have scored two power play goals on two missed calls, or you could live in the reality of the game and be more frustrated that we gave up two powerplay goals to them.
Turns out the team that has the puck the whole damn game is more likely to get the benefit of the doubt on penalty calls. It’s just the nature of the beast. Score when you get PP opportunities, and don’t let them score when they get them.
