GDT: New Jersey Devils (21-5-1) @ New York Rangers (14-10-5), 7 PM, MSG, MSGSN, NHLN

[None Shall Pass]

Our 4th line, or whatever you want to call the Boqvist line, sucks. It's truly just a spare parts line.

 

[njdevils1982]

Its time for either Bovquist or Holtz to sit next game

and who do you suggest goes in instead?

 

[Devs3cups]

Good period overall at the Garden. Keep it up and we got this.

LGD!!

 

[Guadana]

I would put Zetterlund on the Boqvist wing and would try Thompson on the Mcleod wing.

 

[swiiscompos]

Saw that coming a mile a way. Seigs caught pinching and flat footed at the Rags blue line. No idea why they’re doing this shit, makes me f***ing crazy.

He wasn't pinching, he was right on the blue line. But he was probably thinking about offense and took a bit too long to react and turn.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Kreiser even completely flubbed it and it still went in.

Yep. Seen that million times against us (I'm sure they score it against other teams too but dont watch them too often) during the last couple years. Whether its from the left or right, dont matter. Always Panarin or Kreider or someone to score those if we dont break up the pass. Just seeing them cross the ice there gave me PTSD.

 

[MauDevils]

So first 11 minutes outshot them 6-0.

Last 9 minutes outshot 7-0?

 

[Comparison Ford]

kinda wish dougie did the severson thing where he takes the pass and let trochek shoot it

 

[NJDevs26]

The sad thing is he tried to. Negative awareness on that play

He played it too passively to take away the pass, whereas Severson shockingly played a 2-on-1 correctly for once, it’s bizarro world

 

[DerekDevils30]

So first 11 minutes outshot them 6-0.

Last 9 minutes outshot 7-0?

Yeah. That period flipped after 2-0. Devils need to regroup.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Low iq by siegs there because there’s literally no reason to be comitted to a pinch there with a minute left and a 2 goal lead

There have been a couple plays like that. Just dumb plays. Nico had a particularly dumb drop pass as he was exiting the D zone back into the D zone that missed the target but luckily ended up with another Devil. Just kinda lax all over the place.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

He wasn't pinching, he was right on the blue line. But he was probably thinking about offense and took a bit too long to react and turn.

He pinched on his man but for some reason Rango didn't stay with the middle guy, he spun around and tried to prevent the cross ice and that cost him the assignment. By the time Rango spun around and Siegs got moving it was a 2 on 1.

 

[FinnishDevil]

and who do you suggest goes in instead?

You know who.. the great Andreas Johnsson.

 

[John Pedro]

Not a very good period, imo

got lucky early on... Boqvist/Holtz line has been terrible as mentioned already

 

[Comparison Ford]

Our 4th line, or whatever you want to call the Boqvist line, sucks. It's truly just a spare parts line.

i hate to say it but Holtz just really brings that line down

 

[MasterofGrond]

We’re up after one at the garden. Fine with me.

Let’s go get goal 3 early

 

[Devs3cups]

After 1:

CF%: 48.28%
HDCF%: 80%
SCF%: 69.23%
xGF: 1.07
xGA: 0.34
Shots: 7-6 NYR

Good catch.

 

[MVP Zacha]

The bottom 6 is killing them. That Bastian injury having an effect as depth tested.

It's crazy how important Bastian is to this team. He may be my favorite player.

 

[JK3]

So annoying to give them life there up two going into the intermission.

 

[Devs3cups]

It's crazy how important Bastian is to this team. He may be my favorite player.

MVP Bastian coming soon?

 

[Tundra]

They should try to work that into Star Wars Night.

 

[Forge]

and who do you suggest goes in instead?

I don't know if this team is any worse off with Johnsson in for Holtz right now, tbh

 

[BostonDevil]

Trouba is a terrible hockey player. Do Rangers fans even like him? Seems like we would be all over him if he was in NJ, but I'm not sure what goes on over there.

 

[MVP Zacha]

Severson played it great, but Mercer coming back so hard helped alot.
