GDT: New Jersey Devils @ Toronto Maple Leaves 04/15/2013 7pm

[Devils Dominion]

One better, if you replaced the forwards from Toronto with NJ last night, we won 5-1 on those scoring chances they had.

This is fun.

Switched the forwards, I'd go with 3-2 Devils.

 

[njdevil26]

I will place absolutely ZERO blame on Marty if our embarrassing forward group can't put the puck in the net. I don't care if it was 5-0. I don't think it's right to blame the goalie when your offense doesn't score.

 

[MartyOwns]

I bet you Reimer stops that shot last night.

Why is it so hard for people to fathom the idea that both the offense AND the goaltending is weak?

unreal.

0. goals. do you even get that? none. again

 

[NJ CUP*]

even if the devils didnt score a goal last night it doesnt change the FACT that the goal he gave up was weak!

he doesnt give that up maybe we get to overtime get the point. shootout? doubtful we would win it but still that was a very weak goal to give up.

 

[Devils Unseen Hand]

I don't blame Marty for the past two games.

When you're watching your teammates actually "suck" at putting the puck in the net, the minute he sees the opposition coming down the ice with the puck at him, his mind races, he loses focus & walla, they score.

The PP is to blame for all of this & I still don't understand how Shaw is keeping his job.

 

[NJ CUP*]

It'll be refreshing when Marty retires and we can blame the new goalie for every loss. Then we'll hear things like "Well Marty would have gotten that one."

if moose was in and gave that goal up last night would you not be putting blame on him?

Maybe on a whole but if the goalie gives up 1 goal and loses, I probably won't go out and point my finger at the goalie. Then again I grew up in the olden ways of hockey so times have changed.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

No because the team scored 0 goals.

 

[NJ CUP*]

right there sums it all up.

yup it was marty the all time greatest goalie in the nhl the holder of every goalie record there could be. yup that marty gave up the goal from the half boards top of the circle.

What are you even rambling on about? The devils havent scored a goal in 120 mins and 37 seconds. Enough of the anti-marty junk..

 

[NJ CUP*]

No because the team scored 0 goals.

so by your thinking just because the devils score 0 it doesnt matter what the goalie does? marty could've shot the puck into his own net last night and because the devils scored 0 it wouldnt be his fault?

it was a WEAK goal. sorry to marty bash on you im guessing your a marty homer but it still doesnt change it was a weak goal

 

[Richer's Ghost]

great, now HF formatting is putting words in my mouth too.

*sigh*

when it rains it pours

 

[NJDevs26]

The funny part is I thought we were done blaming Marty for every little thing after Moose's AHL-caliber run. Guess the blame Marty game will never end around here.

 

[BrodeursCups]

it was a WEAK goal. sorry to marty bash on you im guessing your a marty homer but it still doesnt change it was a weak goal

*You're

And it wasn't *weak* by any means. 120:37. Keep blaming Marty though..

 

[NJ CUP*]

im not bashing anyone im calling it like i see it.

it was a weak goal bottom line. i dont care who the goalie is

 

[NJ CUP*]

*You're

And it wasn't *weak* by any means. 120:37. Keep blaming Marty though..

its just his turn in the cycle to blame from frustrated fans. If we would have won 5-1, no one would have even brought up that goal

If you can't use the quote feature properly, STOP using it.

your right because that goal wouldn't have cost us the game. would it still have been a weak goal? yeah it would've.

i just dont understand the chico type love you give him. hes a great goalie but he lets in bad goals. last night was a bad goal sorry

 

[Cowbell232]

When you outshoot your opponents that badly and lose, it's one of two things. Weak, low percentage shots being taken or an opponent's goalie is playing out of his mind.

I happen to think the offensive is not taking any shots worth taking. Not Marty's fault. He hasn't played his best hockey this year, but this certainly is not on him.

 

[EliasFTW]

Maybe on a whole but if the goalie gives up 1 goal and loses, I probably won't go out and point my finger at the goalie. Then again I grew up in the olden ways of hockey so times have changed.

Most teams would love if their goalie only let one by. This whole blame Marty thing is annoying and stupid. What do i know i thought Marty only had 100+ shutouts not 666. Scrub cant win a 2-1 game. Call up Kinky and give him #30

i just dont understand the chico type love you give him. hes a great goalie but he lets in bad goals. last night was a bad goal sorry

and giving up 1 goal shouldnt cost you a game.. i can play this merry go round game too

Just makes you look ignorant when you're slinging insults.

I apologize that you don't seem to grasp the concept that the team won't win games when scoring zero goals.

 

[RNCDevil]

An observation and question.

You have to admit that the Devils are possessing well. They are winning board battles, cycling and getting point shots. However, these shots never seem to produce anything. Is it because these shots create no anxiety from the opponent (too weak, too innacurate)? What's different about the myriad of Devils's point shots relative to other teams? It's not like teams are scoring Kessel-esque goals on a routine basis.
