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

[forceten]

Lose 1 game to a cup contender and all of a sudden we're a lottery team again.

No, but it shows we aren’t ourselves a leading contender. Let’s not be hyperbolic. We are good but we are missing something lately. There aren’t 3 on 3 overtimes in playoffs. You don’t survive 7 game series with your goalie going out of the crease on the end line several times in successive games. You dont survive with a bottom half power play.

 

[Hisch13r]

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

This is moronic. “Who gives a shit if they outscore their opponents by a greater margin together because Jack’s ptzzzzzz look better when he’s away from Bratt”.

 

[JK3]

Vanecek is gonna have the same numbers as Blackwood with a few more of these four goal games.

 

[Devs3cups]

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

You want to clean it up, but lapses will happen. Seems like we're getting 0 saves on them though.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

We GIFTED THEM THAT WIN.....Keep the faith....

Our PP is literally top half… We’ve outplayed 3 contenders in a row… Vanecek has sucked lately and they aren’t finishing as well as they should. f*** off with this bullshit.

The team as a whole has outscore their opponents, Jack and Bratt last 20 games together looks like shit too

 

[PWiz30]

And Carolina ties it late...

 

[AfroThunder396]

f***ing stupid, Toronto didn't earn anything. All of those goals were self-inflicted.

I get putting Timo with Hischier in the second for a look, not putting him back with Jack and Bratt in the 3rd was stupid.

Siegenthaler has been pretty mediocre for some time now, Vitek should sit for a game or two.

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

You should have expected this with a new player coming into a team on a roll. Fortunately Haula's line came to play or the this would have been a bad loss.

 

[DerekDevils30]

That Carolina game 7 type shit.

Tough to lose when Palat gets his face sliced open, comes back, scores and has 3 points and no one else decides to pick up some slack.

I love Jack but that tying goal was the same shit we mock guys like Kane for. Have to defend better than that.

And Meier with an inexcusable penalty late.

A lost game due to some bad mistakes. Got away with it in Arizona. Didn’t tonight.

Oh well. Lindy will have plenty of tape to review. They’ll bounce back.

Edit: That’s as negative as I’ll get in here.

 

[longislanddevil]

Vanacek’s play is now getting very concerning.

Glad to have Meier and understand he’s adjusting but if we are going to keep it real….he was awful…essentially cost the Devils two goals. Not the kind of home debut we were expecting….that’s for sure.

Severson was outstanding and obviously the third line. Did not like Lindy splitting up the Tatar-Nico-Mercer line….way too cute IMO.

 

[Devils731]

Weird the refs didn’t go with game management and ignore the Meier high stick.

 

[devilsblood]

Shredded cheese is for the lazy. (I always have it in my fridge btw) Cheese of the same variety in block form will always melt 10x better than pre shredded. Anti caking agents do work.

I found tonights game more enjoyable then store bought shredded cheese.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Carolina just tied it lmao

 

[Lou is God]

And Canes ties it 3-3

 

[Bleedred]

I'm over Vitek right now

Get Schmid in some more games

It'll probably be Blackwood though whenever he's ready

Schmid's mediocre game in Vegas is better than anything Vitek has played in 2 weeks.

 

[John Pedro]

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.

Timo giveaway that led to a shorty and terrible penalty that led to go ahead goal

 

[RNCDevil]

TML amped it up on the second and third. That was an intense game and the Devils need to know they need another level. I bet the Devils get the DTWOmeter...but it's a loss.

I would like to see the timo Hughes bratt experiment continue a bit.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

f***ing stupid, Toronto didn't earn anything. All of those goals were self-inflicted.

I get putting Timo with Hischier in the second for a look, not putting him back with Jack and Bratt in the 3rd was stupid.

This. Ruff mixing up the lines f***ed everything up.

 

[njdevils1982]

What you got cooking?

an old friend i put together over 20 years ago..and dismantled a few years ago..

was a pile a parts until i decided to bring it back a couple weeks ago....updating wiring and other things.

when its done i'll post in the TAN

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

I don't think it's worth extrapolating from this one game whether the Devils will make noise in the playoffs. This was a good reminder late in the season that the Devils still have a lot of work to do. Gotta learn how to play smart against other teams' elite players. The difference tonight was Matthews, Marner and Nylander showed up and Hughes, Hischier, and Bratt did not.

 

[JK3]

At least get a point for Palat’s face.

 

[NHL Fanatik]

welp and there goes Montreal holding on, that stings

ah well, only our 16th regulation loss. Really hard to be mad with the astronomical jump weve made this season

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

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.

you guys have some weird stances lol
