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

[FooteBahl]

Missed most of the game…what did the 4th line do, or not do, to justify 4 minutes of TOI? Rolling 4 lines is what gave us an edge during the streak.

 

[Unknown Caller]

no we definitely dont

Yes we do.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Devils are.losing too many games they should have won not a good sign.

This pattern is concerning for sure...

 

[Bleedred]

Possession for a 1:45, one shot. We need Blackwood.

You jest!

 

[glenwo2]

That sucked.

 

[Normal Devil]

Frustrating loss .. seems the magic has worn off now that schedule is getting a bit tougher.

 

[Saugus]

Devils are.losing too many games they should have won not a good sign.

And before, during the winning streak, we won a few games we should have lost. These things even out.

At least we still got a point from this one.

 

[MauDevils]

I know it’s been forever but Palat is kind of a big loss now that they’re a three line team

We were like 18-1 without Palat. I'm not buying that one.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Yes we do.

for what? we have 2 better goalies on the roster. Three if Bernier ever rises from the ashes.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Nice screen by Sevs too.

 

[Bleedred]

Yes we do.

.892% over his last 62 games

No way, no how.

All there is to say that won't continue is faith and hope.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Really bad loss, can't sugarcoat that game. Blew a 2 goal lead twice, had the better period in the third + OT tied and lost.

Poor Sharangovich is seemingly stapled to Boqvist and Holtz who are both almost unplayable right now. I’m willing to let Mango get in at this point.

Got caved and sucked

 

[FooteBahl]

This pattern is concerning for sure...

We’ve lost 6 games in 27….not really sure if there’s a “pattern” there.

 

[DerekDevils30]

That one pisses me off. Way too lackadaisical at times. Need to do something about the Boqvist line.

Unfortunate game to lose. Those 5on5 stats are tough to swallow. Thankfully, we got a point and we have a chance to bounce back right away tomorrow.

You mean we’re not really a 140 point team?

I wish I could LOVE this 125 times

Although, I'm pretty sure @bildo was just joking when he first brought it up.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Nice screen by Sevs too.

Looks like a poor angle there for Vitek and he’s too deep.

Yep.

We mock the "Loser Point" but it may be the one thing that enables the Devils in keeping their heads above water, so to speak.

But they can't depend on that every game.

They need to get back to playing to WIN, not to lose.

 

[MartyOwns]

Come on man

We made the mistake of playing Daws as much as we did last year. I'm pretty confident Schmid would regress with more games played.

Besides, it's a back to back anyway. Schmid will play tomorrow night.

Did you really think they were gonna play Schmid two nights in a row?

did daws have the same stats after 5 or 6 games or whatever it is? schmid is literally one of the best goalies in the league right now, and we should ride the hot hand. no brainer. he’s also older than daws, i think.

Lmao.

Looked totally out of sync. Shara wasn't creating much, Boqvist had no jump, and Holtz looked like he needed GPS directions to get around our defensive zone.

Stapled to the bench and rightfully so.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Another point given away total garbage
