GDT: Maple Leafs @ Devils - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Camille the Eel]

We all knew the streak had to end, but that was an absolute shit way to do it.

A puck off a skate that goes in off an opposing player is a rule?

f*** you NHL.

Still smoked those bastards 35-20.

Ridiculous call. It’s about “directing the puck into the net” with the distinct kicking motion. He kicked the puck away from the net.

I also just don’t know what goalie interference is. Neither do the refs or anyone else apparently. That too was a bullshit call that totally changed the flow of the game right from the start.

That said, we played a very strong game. You can’t win them all. It was going to happen sometime.

 

[Bleedred]

Minor nitpick but why not throw the top unit out there one last time with 7 seconds left in regulation?

And were McLeod and Haula BOTH out there on that last draw? WHY?!

 

[OmNomNom]

neutral fans seem to hate us for being mad

 

[R8Devs]

liked the way they played in the 2nd and 3rd, hopefully start a new streak on friday

 

[FinnishDevil]

Still gonna say that Haula shouldve scored on that one timer and none of this controversy wouldve happened.

Used timeout + in case the original guy gets kicked out. Faceoff win was super important there obviously.

 

[devilsblood]

Welp that was the most fun ive had at a loss ever.

Well said, my friend.

Absolutely dreadful loss to the Laffs. NYb up 3-0 over Edmonton and looking far more convincing than the NJD did over the Oil.

Torts has Philthy winning again.

Very convincing wins by Florida over the B's and Detroit over a very strong contender in Nashville.

Buffalo turned it on again and are up next. They look very strong. The Caps will turn it on come Saturday also.

The NJD have peaked for the year folks. It will be all downhill from here.

Rags will win tonight against ANA. Should be a very interesting matchup and slam dunk win for the Rags. Very excited to watch LAF and Kakko, after Hischier and Hughes both put up a gooseegg tonight. I'll catch you on the Rags forum in a few for that one @RangerDoggo

This guy gets it. Suddenly things aren’t looking so hot for this team. I knew it was coming and of course I got pushback for being a realist. I have the receipts ready for April when Hughes and company are dusting off their golf clubs.

 

[JK3]

If anything this horse shit game will fire them up.

We’ll just have to go on another tear and rack up another bunch of wins.

It wasn't goalie interference, he kicked the Devils player.

At least the former Whalers lost to the Coyotes tonight, so we're still 8 points clear for the division lead going into Thanksgiving. Can't be unhappy with that.

Except the f***ing Isles are blanking the Oilers 3-0 right now with the Rags set to face (and probably beat) Anaheim tonight.

We could be separated by just 6 goddamn points with both teams by the end of the night.

This sucks.

Thanksgiving dinner is going to taste like s--t.

 

[Satans Hockey]

The 2018 playoffs have to be the last time it was this crazy getting out of here this many minutes after the game ended.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That’s going to be the challenge. Not to have a let down now. We are entering a new phase of the season and the next ten to fifteen games are going to determine whether we are just a playoff team or are going to contend to win the division.

On a related topic, what’s wrong with our fans? Throwing beer cans (full too, done of them) onto the ice there and at the end too? I know folks have had a lot to drink and we had a lot to complain about how this game was ref’d, but don’t do that. I hate it no matter which city’s fans do it. Could have brained our own guys for Pete’s sake.

It's so dumb but it happened at the home opener too. Every time the building is full it's like people are just waiting for an excuse to throw stuff. Just the stupidest, most immature and dangerous thing you can do. I hope at least several of them were caught and hopefully banned from future games. Idiots.

 

[devilsblood]

Anyone else see the cruminal masterminds helicoptering off the top of the building postgame?

 

[Devs3cups]

I've actually seen some support, which is welcomed lol. A few fans also saying to keep our head up and that our team is legit.

 

[Saugus]

Could say that about the couple posts we hit too. Bad luck, it happens.

The rule doesn't care what direction or who it hits if the last action is a kick. It was the right call.

The interference on Bastian is probably the worst one. If that's the 3rd goal instead of the first, they probably don't even waive that off. Murray was barely touched, had time to reset and was able to fully extend.

Tatar's play was just handled poorly. They didn't clarify their decision. If it was interference it should have been a penalty.

 

[BostonDevil]

I will leave you all tonight with 4 numbers: 1-9-6-7

We'll said. Hopefully those caught lose their privilege of attending games. But, like I said before not the 1st time fans have down that. Hate the other fanbases that are self righteous and act like that never happened with their fans.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Proud of this team. What a f***ing run.

6 points is very good seperation this time of year. Don't sweat it my man, plenty more points to come the way this team is playing right now.

That's because your perspective is wrong. Look at it this way: The team is 13-1 in it's last 14. That's pretty ******* awesome.

 

[Bleedred]

Still gonna say that Haula shouldve scored

When should Haula have scored? Last year?

I'm kind of sick of him already. He's been good, but he's really been a drain with goal scoring and I think we need to be careful with him going forward, as this happens when a player gets older like this. The shooting percentage goes down.

I do think he'll score more than the 4 goals he's on pace for, but I think it'll be a down year and his days of 15 goals might be over.

It's still too early to say for sure, but I'm getting 2016-2017 Mike Cammalleri 2 goals in 41 games vibes from him or some of the Ryder droughts in his last two years.

This type of thing tends to happen when a player gets into their 30's. It's kind of happening to Tatar the last two years relative to prior to that.

I agree. It's not like they were demoralized or out played. There was nothing at all to put any doubt in the team.

They'll be fine.

Ok, 6 points clear at a minimum. That's still pretty damn good.
