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

[My3Sons]

Sure, that's different than a fight though

Forget fighting. Beat them with sticks and take off your skates and hit them with those and strangle them and try to punch them in the groin

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Figures they'd piss away Jack's best game so far.

idk if I really want to be that guy...

but this game was the least structured game played this season so far. It just so happens to be the best game Jack has played so far

40% xG removing the score effect riddle 3rd periods of the last 2 games. Honestly a lot better than I expected. I think those numbers paint a prettier picture than reality

 

[NJDevs26]

not the point - you don't win usually giving up that many let alone MORE. All the cushion did was let the other team sit back which is why we even scored 5. Comprehension matters.

I was just pointing out the irony in your statement lol

Saturday's game was slightly different than tonight's though, they were never so far out of the game you could dismiss them as junktime goals.

 

[JK3]

Score five goals two games in a row and lose both, ooof.

It's like our wins. It doesn't fit the narrative you want to paint so you ignore it

Did the puck go in off the ref? I absolutely hate that the refs are on the ice. Hockey is too fast. Why can't you have a tether cam up top and two linesman in the penalty box or the bench areas to break up altercations? I just hate how much the refs interfere in hockey.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Pretty embarrassing, but not unexpected after the first five minutes or so, unfortunately.

 

[Devs3cups]

Y'all know what time it is.

 

[Emperoreddy]

What happens when you give up 6+.

We should focus on not giving up 5 goals a night

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

can someone explain the hit for those that didnt catch the game

Big clean hit by Cernak on Bratt. Definitely don’t think it was as big of a deal as is being said. They were abysmal in the 1st well before that hit.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

They played in such a way that it came off like they were not interested in the game at all. It's all so tiresome because it's been like this for over a year now.

This is just a lazy and bs take. It was a combination of some bad defensive lapses causing breakdowns, bad goaltending and some bad luck. Those breakdowns can’t happen in this league though. Teams will make you pay as Tampa did

The crazy part is the first few mins of that 2nd looked great, after another slow 1st

 

[dgibb10]

Don’t understand how one little hit could rattle a whole team

It didn't.

Jake Allen couldn't make a save after period 1.

We at least took advantage of the goalie in this game unlike the Toronto game but forgot there's another side of the rink

 

[devilsfan950003]

This is the game after Keefe told them their performance was unacceptable btw

And they responded how? Maybe thinking Keefe was a savior was a mistake. Don't think gimp Pesce or Luke (I only got Calder votes cause I'm a Hughes) are going to save them.

I can't even tell if it went off the ref or the ref just screened a bank off the boards. I think it was the former

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Pesce in, Misyul out on Thursday

then Hughes in, Nemec to Utica after that

 

[njdevils1982]

Score 5 goals and lose, feels like 1983.

RIP Paul Di’Anno.

and the tampa offence was running free tonight

 

[Emperoreddy]

They didn't even start slow either. First half of the 1st was mostly fine. Second half they really lost their game and started playing dumb

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Great is a stretch. Maybe 3 good shifts. I would not call them great, just not as bad as the crap they played prior and after.

If it went off the ref it shouldn't have counted no?

At least Keefe is not going to be the next one to go if the **** hits the fan. Could be a big-name player or Fitz, but it's not going to be Keefe.

Yeah...the signs for a sh*tty game were already there even before the hit.

Allen's reaction is pretty funny though.
