GDT: Lightning @ Devils - 6:45 PM - MSG

[Better Call Sal]

Lmao I just saw the 8th goal.

 

[dgibb10]

You don't understand that anything we do right doesn't count

Apparently trailing by 1 for 17 minutes in the 3rd is garbage time somehow lmao

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

This is from the other day. The way they move the puck around compared to how we do is crazy.

This entire clip looks like a pp, it wasn't? lol

 

[Captain3rdLine]

And killed their one big advantage which was their team speed. It took a big hit last year and it's been downright decimated this year.

Speed kills

 

[Emperoreddy]

Maybe that Canada trip coming up is good medicine

Think it's definitely well timed. Idk what the f*** is it about home right now, but they suck at it.

Get far away from us sickos and back to basics.

 

[JimEIV]

and the tampa offence was running free tonight

Nice

 

[Omar Little]

These last couple of games are familiar bad habits on display. That Lindy stench is strong. The guys who were here last year need to learn to play D, and the other guys are new to the team/coach/teammates. I'm honestly surprised they didn't look more like this in the first week.

What really sucks is that this team just seems incapable of playing better at home. I don't understand it, but it's really dis-spiriting as a fan. Maybe even moreso than the overall mediocrity for the last decade.

Unlearning Lindy hockey will take time

 

[BostonDevil]

One thing that tonight showed me that will linger all season:

If any one of you m'f'ers use the second night of a back to back as an excuse for this team, after what we saw tonight, I will hunt you down.



Seriously though - Don't do it

And killed their one big advantage which was their team speed. It took a big hit last year and it's been downright decimated this year.

I said it the day that Fitz let Boqvist go that it was a bad signal to this team's makeup being changed and now the dude is playing for the Cup Champs after a good year with Boston but hey what do I know

 

[Hisch13r]

I’ll have to watch again but I’m not so sure that’s on Dougie. The forward (I think Noesan) was far too collapsed. Hedman was moving in from the point and I think he should’ve stepped out a little to intercept that pass.

There was no reason Dougie stayed on the left side for so long. If he was where he should've been he would've been able to close on Hedman and at the very least Hedman wouldn't have had the time to get off the perfect shot

 

[JrFischer54]

Forget it. This team allegedly is incapable of putting together any good shifts. They have not done it once this year and will never again.

The HF GMs have spoken

I wouldn’t say that I mean they will take advantage of the mid teams and some bubble teams but against solid teams? They just aren’t interested in reaching that level or discipline or whatever. You get the leafs coming in over back to back devils rested they no show. Get the bolts coming in off back to back and again no show. But I hear everyone crying and moaning about how many b2b we have/had last year l

I still think this team makes the playoffs but it will be a fight

 

[MadDevil]

Holy shit we are screwed

And Keefe's team gave up 9 goals to Buffalo in a game last year?

Season is over

Traveling to Detroit then back home this Friday for a B2B


I freaking hate this schedule though. Absolute booty scheduling for us in October

Yup. You can think Boqvist isn't an overly important player and yeah in the grand scheme of things he isn't but I said earlier in this thread that letting him go was a symptom of a larger philosophical problem.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Jack went 8-8 on Faceoffs tonight

Just watched again and that is much more on Noesan. He’s in no man’s land.

And I’m not sure what time you’re talking about. Hedman didn’t have or take his time.

 

[Hisch13r]

Please dear god I can't take anymore Dillon-Dougie.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Forget it. This team allegedly is incapable of putting together any good shifts. They have not done it once this year and will never again.

The HF GMs have spoken

Except it's literally the opposite, we know how talented the team is and they still look like they're in the old shitty habits under Ruff/Hynes for the core. Jack had a great game tonight, but the defense looked like keystone cops and Allen looked like Vitek in the playoffs. It's just one thing every other game that loses them games lately.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Please dear god I can't take anymore Dillon-Dougie.

100% needs to be rectified once Brett Hughes is back

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Jack went 8-8 on Faceoffs tonight

Progress.

 

[NJDevs26]

I wish I could take more comfort in Jack finally looking like Jack of two years ago again, but this team has jaded the f*** out of me the last two years...it's like when the baseball Angels used to have the 'Trout and Ohtani HR and Ohtani gives up two runs in seven innings but the Angels still lose 9-5' games.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Knick fans don't seem to be taking their blowout well either

 

[HersheyBob27]

Yup. You can think Boqvist isn't an overly important player and yeah in the grand scheme of things he isn't but I said earlier in this thread that letting him go was a symptom of a larger philosophical problem.

He seemed like a perfect middle six extra skater. Never should have let him walk
