GDT: Mobile GDT: Devils @ Sharks, 4 PM ET, MSGSN (if you somehow manage to still have it)

I’m ok with not giving Toffoli a 4 year/6m deal that ends when he’s 36 and the slowest skater on earth.

Not sure what acceptable deal Fitz thought Toffoli was going to hypothetically sign but that’s water under the bridge.

The Palat deal was acceptable though

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Askarov better succeed as a goalie cause that neck tattoo will limit his corporate gig opportunities.

 

[Bleedred]

Surprised he is still around in 2025

I'm shocked he wasn't bought out last year.

And he didn't even debut for the season until like a few games ago.

I thought maybe they didn't buy him out was because he was going to LTIR permanently. It wasn't permanently.

They don't need to free up his cap as much as they need to get him the f*** off the ice.

man that christmas break came at the worst time. they’ve been a completely different team

Rangers suck was contagious

 

[jkrdevil]

He was almost perfect for Jack. Trailed the play and shot. Not every guy needs to be speed demon when you have Jack and Bratt on a line with you.

The alternative, as you can see, is an old slow guy with no offensive talent making more than Toffoli.

I'm not saying he's actually perfect but I would have thrown some of the 87 billion we spent on defense (where we have a lot of organizational depth) at him since we saw the results he got here in a half season.

He wasn’t good enough defensively to play with Jack. That Jack was injured compounded things. Also him with Jack meant there was no real place for Palat. He was just an ill fit.

 

[My3Sons]

Finally a halfway decent chance

 

[Eggtimers]

Bottom 6 has 9 points between all of them in the past 5 weeks …. That’s pathetic

 

[My3Sons]

Good gravy

 

[Patrik26]

Do you remember when the Devils last scored a goal?

 

[Bleedred]

What a horrifying period.

Paints needs to be peeled from the walls back there during the intermission. Probably even at this TV timeout.

 

[theoptimist]

Sloppy stuff from Dillon

 

[Cheddabombs]

where offense

 

[DerekDevils30]

Playing a bad brand of hockey right now

 

[Devs3cups]

Wtf is Dillon doing man

 

[Forge]

The Palat deal was acceptable though

"So you hate waffles" energy here

 

[Normal Devil]

Devils have kind of hit the wall. No firepower at all.

 

[BostonDevil]

He wasn’t good enough defensively to play with Jack. That Jack was injured compounded things. Also him with Jack meant there was no real place for Palat. He was just an ill fit.

Jack is fine defensively.

I'd find a place for 27 goals to fit (33 if you count the whole season)

Palat on the 3rd line is where he belongs

 

[Bleedred]

Bottom 6 has 9 points between all of them in the past 5 weeks …. That’s pathetic

That's why I'm pretty sure Fitz is burning it down and revamping the bottom 6 next year like he did the defense this past year.

Hear me now, believe me later.

I'm thinking maybe there's only 1 or 2 guys here next year who are playing in the bottom 6 this year. Mercer is probably one of them.

Maybe Cotter is the other, but he's been space junk for a while.

 

[Eggtimers]

Over the holiday break did they think they dont have to try anymore ?

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Why is everything else a f***ing penalty and NJ needs to be dismembered for perhaps a chance at a call? That looked weak but since it killed a chance of course they get one. I’m sick of this reffing and still seething from the disallowed goal.

 

[Devs3cups]

I like the period offensively. They have to tighten up defensively though.

 

[Saugus]

Over the holiday break did they think they dont have to try anymore ?

There’s a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. I fear we have gone over that line, and stopped doing the simple things right.

 

[Eggtimers]

Future Devil Granlund

 

[My3Sons]

Just play Werewolves of London you idiot

 

[Bleedred]

Kid Rock playing in the arena cancels out playing Bad Religion and Rancid.

GTFO
