Yeah the end of period heart attacks have been an issue all season

 

[Whaddagoal]

3rd and 4th line had some good ozone shifts. Wake up the 1st line

 

[Comparison Ford]

Yeah the end of period heart attacks have been an issue all season

all decade

 

[NjDevsRR]

We have bigger issues than these two. Enough

 

[NJDevs26]

I also question that which is why I said “if it continues”

Multiple people poking that post is odd

People are hypersensitive with this team right now lol

 

[Devs3cups]

Created the opportunity and did not score. That was what happened.

Yes, happens more often than not in this league. The vast majority of chances created don't go in.

Still, Bratt creates plays that leads to goals at a very high level, almost nightly.

He's so far down the list of problems with this team that it's not even worth talking about imo.

 

[Casey Jones]

Hoping Sprung can get on the board next

 

[NjDevsRR]

Yup lmao it was nice to see our 3rd line actually be our best line for a period. Cant remember the last time that happened.

Would be nice if solid play from them “continues”

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Let's revisit this in 10 games. This is the playing 25-50% above your talent level the first few games like the new coach bump I think.

Possible but he has dropped back down a few times covering for a defender up so that's good to see too...

 

[Devs3cups]

Good period overall. Last minute sucked but overall I liked their period.

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah the end of period heart attacks have been an issue all season

They seemed to be an issue the last two years as well, but I remember getting scored on in the final minute more times in the last two years before this (much more last year than the year before), but not getting scored on as much in the final minute this year.

However, we've allowed game winning goals in the final minute, maybe even half minute of regulation twice this year.

may the day never come where we say "that's what I thought would happen".

Put his on my pending regret list next to acquiring Markstrom

Not an indictment on the player. Again, prime scoring opportunity in the 1st period, created by Bratt out of nothing, and he did NOT score. That was what happened in the 1st period.

 

[Whaddagoal]

On a team that's f***ed up at the end of periods and PP/PKs, that failed clear from Palat is worth a game in the press box.

I thought it ricocheted off someone .. wasn't a full brain fart. But yeah we need to not have guys screw that up

 

[My3Sons]

So far so good. Any chance they can insert MacDermid into the lineup for the third period to have the fight Deslaurier desperately wants?

 

[Dylan9z9]

no, I'm just saying I don't think it will continue and we'll see how everyone feels in 10 games after the bump has faded. I think we just added 2 more ingredients to the bottom 6 stew recipe.

Cody Glass will soon be rivaling Haula for most games without a goal

Id rather the scoring chance than not, agree?

 

[Eggtimers]

5 shots on net in the period is not great or am I being negative . In what’s close to a must win game and they put up 5 shots against ??

 

[Devs3cups]

Yes, that is what happened.

I took your original post where you were saying "How many assists does Bratt have?" after commenting on one of his scoring chances as an indictment/a shot at the player. Apologies if I misunderstood, not trying to misinterpret anyone here and I like reading your posts!

 

[NjDevsRR]

5 shots on net in the period is not great or am I being negative .

5 scoring chances along with those 5 shots tho

Scoring chances were 5-2

 

[njdevils1982]

I was thinking of you when I posted that.

 

[My3Sons]

5 shots on net in the period is not great or am I being negative .

That’s not great. It didn’t feel lopsided outside the last minute. NJ must have had more chances and missed the net a few times.

 

[Dylan9z9]

So far so good. Any chance they can insert MacDermid into the lineup for the third period to have the fight Deslaurier desperately wants?

 

[Billdo]

Yeah the end of period heart attacks have been an issue all season

It's been an issue through multiple coaches for going on 15 years at this point. I NEVER feel comfortable with a 1 goal lead with less than 2 mins, ever.

 

[Guadana]

Can't say something nice or good about the team or the player these days lol.

Doom or die
