GDT: Islanders @ Devils - Season Finale - 7:00 PM - MSG

[MadDevil]

All this MacDermid talk is starting to give me Rangers overreacting to Tom Wilson vibes. I hope we don't overcorrect for "toughness" this summer.

 

[Bleedred]

88 should never pinch

The Isles have to be the most boring team I've ever watched.

They're not quite as boring as the Capitals this year.

But I'll say this. When you mix them with #TRAVISGREENHOCKEY they get much more boring.

Almost every team does, except for the ones that blow us out.

Bad Bahl pinch (ouch lol) horrid two on one by Smith. How the f*** do pro players in their 30s not know how to take away the f***ing pass holy crap. It’s insane to me.

 

[My3Sons]

Nice hold by Barzal on the NJ defender

 

[RNCDevil]

I hope Smith never plays for the Devils again. I hope somehow the Flyers or Rangers feel like they need a him for the locker room.

 

[njdevils1982]

first shot against!

 

[SJinNewJersey]

WTF was Bahl thinking?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

It is a terrible thing for this isles team to succeed. Lord I'd never want to watch a league where teams were building to play whatever this is.

 

[DVision44]

Allen played that 2-on-1 terribly too

Smith didn't exactly play either option

 

[Guttersniped]

The only thing sustaining me is the knowledge that Isles fans have to watch this dreary team all year.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Bahl sucks, sorry. Sick of this dude.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

The only thing sustaining me is the knowledge that Isles fans have to watch this dreary team all year.

At least our failure was entertaining at times. This is painful.

 

[NjDevsRR]

At least I got my bobblehead

 

[Emperoreddy]

How close to the first gowl given up regard did we get?

 

[HoliksGhost]

WTF was Bahl thinking?

We just have too many players trying to play above their pay grade

 

[SJinNewJersey]

If there was a game 83 Bahl would sit if I was coach.

 

[Bleedred]

I hope Smith never plays for the Devils again. I hope somehow the Flyers or Rangers feel like they need a him for the locker room.

I think there's a greater than 50% chance he never plays in the league again.

I'm 70% sure this is it for him.

It's hard for 35 year old players to get a contract when they're a UFA. It's not like he's Chara and teams are just gonna keep signing him as long as he wants to continue playing.

There's gonna be other older UFA defensemen that will draw more interest based on reputation, like Alec Martinez and maybe even Giordano.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Ideally we find a rock for the left side that will bump Bahl into the Brendan Smith role next year

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Lost all the jump and will likely get caved for a while now. It's so predictable.

 

[MadDevil]

The only thing sustaining me is the knowledge that Isles fans have to watch this dreary team all year.

And know they're not going anywhere in the playoffs unless Sorokin remembers who he is and gets hot.

Hmmm...this sounds familiar for some reason...

 

[Mgd31]

For as much as the organization hates Holtz it’s hilarious he played in every game lol

 

[JimEIV]

I rather be in 3rd in the metro with a dreary team than 7th with an exciting team.

 

[Emperoreddy]

So close!

 

[Louskoolaid89]

C'mon Devils disappoint me one more time...

 

[RNCDevil]

Bahl sucks, sorry. Sick of this dude.

I want to have patience with him. He's rangy - good mobility - can hit on occasion and only 23. Next year, I hope to see a big jump.
