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

[JK3]

When you’re playing like shit, you just have to find a way to get a point out of these games when you’re tied late. A garbage line out there to close it out ain’t the best idea.

 

[Tiredswede]

That was ugly. I’ll start missing games for a while and check the score in the morning. Not worth being up all night if they play like this:/

 

[New Jersey Devils]

[Bleedred]

This isn't even the worst loss on the trip, lol

I definitely think it was

We should be steamrolling the Sharks.

But if you're saying this as in we should have been out of the game long ago and not with 30 seconds left, I agree.

We were daring them to get the go-ahead goal as soon as we tied it.

Once again, this is a pathetic no-show game.

 

[Triumph]

Ahh yes, somehow dougie hamilton is to blame for that loss

He was awful today, but he was far from the only one - I don't think any of the defensemen had a good game.

 

[Forge]

Time for a shakeup trade. Gotta address the bottom 6.

Will probably wait until closer to the deadline as the team accrues cap space

 

[Bcap88]

I blame the main board thread created out of stupidity

 

[Call Me Al]

I mean even at that time there was basically nothing separating like 4th-12th or something in pts%

it’s true, but we gave up fewer than 20 shots in however many games. it was some of best hockey the devils have played in a decade + and easily among the top of the league. this looks like a completely different team

 

[Tiredswede]

Play siegs w Hamilton a game or 2

 

[Whaddagoal]

That's the most embarrassing loss in years

But honestly, team deserves to be out of that long before that happened.

Just a no-show. I'll say it again. Absolutely pathetic effort against the typical cream of the crap, loser, suck, humpty, whatever the f*** team.

Agreed, at least this season, some bad ones last year.

I knew that shit was going to happen with the 4th line out with 3 men in the deepest part of the corner. Sharks were just waiting to rush that out.

Ref block and goalie fail, couldn't script it better.

Keefe needed his faster guys out there to cover the back check.

Getting 0 points again when the game is in reach to get at least a point. This is looking like Ruff results for a bunch of games now.

 

[johnny pierogi]

glad i bet the sharks to win

...

and took the f***ing over on the goals ..

 

[Hisch13r]

We walk away with 2 pts on the season against Anaheim and SJ. Loser ass team.

 

[HoliksGhost]

As far as line shuffling - you got Mercer, Palat and Nose to move around.

 

[dgibb10]

He was awful today, but he was far from the only one - I don't think any of the defensemen had a good game.

He was our best dman out there tonight and still somehow gets all the blame.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Time for a shakeup trade. Cya Mercer

I dont think trading Mercer is the answer given how bad the bottom 6 is.
I think we need to try and bring forward the trade deadline acquistions to now. Get a 3C and a middle six winger. That allows us to bump Palat from Hughes-Bratt line and move Huala down to 4th line.

 

[NJDfan86]

This has really sucked so far.

 

[guitarguyvic]

The 4th line was the best line today and the 3rd line scored a goal. Sorry guys, your narratives are not working today. The top players were absent.

They scored one of the goals and you can't expect them to bring it for 100% of the games.

That third line is really bad.

Guys also look crazy slow both physically and mentally. I hope it's just some fatigue from the congested schedule they've had so far this season, because if it ain't that this is really f***ing concerning.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Can’t blame Markstrom when the entire team didn’t show up.

The GWG went into and out of his glove. It's a point headed to OT where Jack and Bratt can make anything happen. Just a terrible goal to give up in the final minute.

 

[SwissFan12]

I didn't think the last goal was that bad, I'll have to take another look,

The goal that made it 2-1 was definitely bad, but if a Markstrom softy is the difference in a game against the cream of crap loser Sharks the team certainly has a ton of problems.

You expect a Markstrom softy to be the difference against someone good.

If we showed up today, we could have STEAMROLLED this team. But this is how we role. We don't get up for the Ducks and Sharks.

We certainly didn't get up for this one. We actually had one good period in the Ducks game. Nothing today.

Yeah too much sloppy play in the defensive zone, Markström had some great save but at some point there is nothing surprising to be punished for this accumulation of bad play, surely it's not a great goal for the goalie but it is rather unfair to blame him for the result

 

[Tiredswede]

As far as line shuffling - you got Mercer, Palat and Nose to move around.

Maybe try Timo w Hughes again?

 

[Devs3cups]

Good thing I didn't change my avatar lmao cause I will never be happy cheering for this team.

Your life is nothing but doom and despair if you're a Devils fan.

 

[Hisch13r]

Maybe try Timo w Hughes again?

God no

 

[jkrdevil]

The SJ and Anahiem losses are just unacceptable. You have to finish both games and get least a point.

 

[Bleedred]

there are 41 games to play and it’s neck and neck. there’s no way this decides anything at all. but it’s concerning to see them be so f*cking bad right now

You're right

If anything I think we can kiss winning the division goodbye.

Odds were probably not great before this trip, but the Caps need something like what we're going through right now, while we have another good run just to even get in the conversation for that again.

 

[Hisch13r]

The SJ and Anahiem losses are just unacceptable. You have to finish both games and get least a point.

2 goals in 2 games against SJ on the season lol
