GDT: New Jersey Devils vs Pittsburgh Penguins, 5:30 PM, MSG

[Incharge1976]

Smith is terrible

 

[Bleedred]

It's hilarious how much we get burned by Lindy's favorite f*** boys.

 

[HoliksGhost]

Pittsburgh doing their best NE Patriots imitation.

 

[My3Sons]

The old boys club running the league who think this is a good product or appeals to anyone under 50.

It doesn’t appeal to me anymore in my old age. The people in charge can’t retire fast enough.

 

[Blender]

So glad Smith is back in for Siegenthaler so that he can go crosscheck a player in the back who isn't playing the puck.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Smith is a fine depth guys but scratching him for Siege is inexcusable. And this is coming from someone who has been quite critical of Siege the past two months.

 

[Bleedred]

The PK looks like shit without Siegenthaler

 

[swiiscompos]

Haula with the veteran patience.

 

[theoptimist]

Is there a group of kids sitting right next to dano....

 

[HoliksGhost]

Marino has already saved 2 goals.

 

[My3Sons]

Bahl actually stepped up and hit someone

 

[Devs3cups]

Nice on the PK Haula

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Scratching your best LHD and thinking it would be the same thing as scratching Severson is next level moronic considering we have 2 very capable RHD. Ryan Graves is fine but he can't be your 1LHD going into a game.

 

[Bleedred]

Why do I feel like we only have 1 shot on goal?

 

[MauDevils]

Smith back for only 3:50 and nearly cost us two goals against so far.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I mean the thing that bothers me isn’t necessarily that Smith is back in the lineup, it’s that they put Smith back in AND kept Bahl in. Absolutely atrocious personnel management.

Doesn't necessarily mean they think he's better, rather that they tknow Sieg can do better.

 

[Combat Koala]

Is Ruff still coaching this team?

yeah, well, maybe it was a rhetoric question

 

[Guadana]

Good PK. But I prefer Siegenthaler and Okhotiuk over Smith and Bahl.

It's hilarious how much we get burned by Lindy's favorite f*** boys.

I’m ready to hand the (golf cart) keys to Brunette

 

[Whaddagoal]

Maybe Sieges needs a maintainence day? We got a game tomorrow anyway...

 

[FinnishDevil]

I’m ready to hand the (golf cart) keys to Brunette

OH MY

 

[guitarguyvic]

I keep waiting for evidence that this team is gonna clean up the breakouts but it hasn’t surfaced in weeks…

 

[NJDevs26]

Maybe Sieges needs a maintainence day? We got a game tomorrow anyway...

They claim it's a healthy scratch...they could be hiding a maintenance day under the guise of accountability or just flat stupidity but that's all we have to go on.

Nailed it

No reason for Bahl to be in

Because with Siegenthaler out, Smith is gonna play A LOT MORE than if Siegenthaler weren't out.

Bahl is only gonna play 12 minutes no matter what.

With Siegs out, now you're playing Smith for 17-18 minutes (maybe more) instead of 15.
