GDT: New Jersey Devils vs. Toronto Maple Leafs - 7pm, MSGSN

[Lou is God]

Poor Timo couldn't have played a worst game.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Not gonna win every game. Not gonna win many games at all playing defense like that. The Leafs have been garbage lately too and down Tavares and O'Reilly. Pretty bad loss really.

 

[Bleedred]

I'll be the first to say it

Vitek is a PROBLEM right now

We played a good game

He's gotta make a save, he can't keep allowing 4 goals every game

Even in Schmid's mediocre game he still only allowed 3

I really wouldn't be surprised if Schmid is the playoff starter, but there's plenty of time for him to wake up.

 

[Billdo]

Vanecek hasn't been good in a bit, maybe give Schmid Thursday and Saturday

 

[Emperoreddy]

Just not good enough on special teams at all

 

[John Pedro]

sucks

Jack and Bratt doesn't mesh well together, don't hit me with their corsi or gf%, Jack without Bratt was producing at 110pt pace

 

[Better Call Sal]

Heartbreaker for sure.

 

[TF1970]

unacceptable for that to transpire the way it did. Again, I’m really angry at how that happened. And now we’ll be center of the attention for the leafs dramatic comeback which is so embarrassing.

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

Imagine what would be said if Shara commited that late penalty

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Absolute blindness to covering slot and people crashing the weak side low. What happened to head on a swivel and the most dangerous guy is the player without the puck? Defense 101.

GO WATCH THE FILM AND LEARN

 

[Bramskii]

Can't win when your top 2 lines go invisible. Vitek is becoming a bit of a concern.

 

[Hisch13r]

Vanecek has SUCKED. What a careless play by Meier. Also get Meier off of PP1 until they’ve practiced more. He’s trying to do too much and just gets in the way. Pathetic loss.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

You gotta save one of these

He played the third goal so horribly too

He does have to make saves he shouldn't make no doubt....But he was 4 of 4 on Mathews can't leave him alone like that eventually he'll bury one....

 

[Saugus]

Poor Timo couldn't have played a worst game.

He'll make up for it in future games, but ya, he was not good tonight. Unfortunate.

 

[pulkit1989]

This really sucks. It bothers me that we lost even when Tavares and ROR weren't playing and that too at home ice.

 

[Dylan9z9]

You're not going to win against a good team playing that non- clearing behind the back giveaway passes .... you might beat bottom feeders with that shit that's about it

 

[sddev]

Timo Time ?

 

[Lou is God]

Is this gunna teach them not to have these defensive lapses? who knows.

Leafs seemed to have their way in our zone. Very disappointing effort in that end.

 

[John Pedro]

Just not good enough on special teams at all

PP still a joke

I starting to feel it's more about personnel than scheme. Bratt one timer isn't good, Nico is not good enough down low and Timo just arrived but he sure isn't a bumper man

 

[My3Sons]

NJ top six struggled. They have to figure out how to cheat like the veteran teams.

 

[tailfins]

This loss is on Hughes. He cannot let that pass through. He’s the best player on the team. But he can’t just do it at one end if the team is going to go anywhere in the playoffs.

 

[Bleedred]

Vanecek hasn't been good in a bit, maybe give Schmid Thursday and Saturday

You know they're gonna give it to Vitek because it's his former team

We'll see Schmid Saturday though.

Montreal was the team that started his tailspin.

 

[NHL Fanatik]

If I have to swallow this bad loss on the behalf of Meier being a mainstay here for years to come, I think ill get over it lol

Montreal holds on here for 5 more minutes and its alleviated. I dont believe in true trap games in the NHL, the high variance of luck vs other sports makes it a lot easier for those bad teams to hang around. Losing to a 1-9 football team or an 11-40 basketball team is far more egregious IMO

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Siegs and Graves had absolutely horrendous games.
