GDT: New Jersey Devils vs. Washington Capitals - 7:30pm

[Lou is God]

So basically 5v5 we suck.

Yeah what happened to our 5v5??

 

[BostonDevil]

Welcome to Edmonton!

 

[theoptimist]

Two off nights in a row -- what's that called?

 

[Hisch13r]

None of these goals have been particularly strong. Off night for Schmid.

Back to back "off" nights

 

[Bleedred]

I think we could see Vitek for the 2nd. You don’t usually see a pull a few minutes before a period ends.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I knew they would be worse than last season, but I wasn't expecting to look like one of the worst teams in the league in every single first period of the first 6 games.

 

[RandoDoomer]

I was so close to going to this game. Tickets were like $12 this afternoon. Guess I dodged a bullet. Sheesh.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Even if we scored on every shot we had we'd still be losing. Just an embarrassing period. It shouldn't take them get their shit handed to them before they wake up and decide to play

 

[Darkauron]

Whelp mikey should be pulled for that hit. He is hurting

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Jesus H - they can't even shoot or pass out of their own zone.

 

[NJDevs26]

Your first period recap:

 

[AfroThunder396]

We are the fastest team in the league and they are the slowest team. Enough with the cute passes, f***ing skate them

 

[DrBSmooth]

Devils at +340 to win....perhaps now the time to place a wager?

 

[My3Sons]

This was a terrible period. I’m sure Ruff will throw a jelly jar between periods

 

[Bleedred]

If this wasn't a back to back I imagine he's already piulled.

Let’s see what happens in the 2nd. You don’t see goalie changes often when there’s a few minutes left in a period.

He needs to sit though. For a while. Probably a week.

 

[Devs3cups]

The team has the firepower, but they better get it going quick.

 

[youryeah]

yeah that was a brutal period. caps got walloped by the leafs last night too. no excuse for them to come out this flat

 

[NJDevs26]

Devils at +340 to win....perhaps now the time to place a wager?

Wait to see what goalie comes out for the second period

 

[JK3]

Looks like they’ve lost the ability to play hockey.

 

[Bcap88]

3 goals on .72 expected

 

[DerekDevils30]

Guys showed up ready to collect a pay check

 

[guitarguyvic]

f***ing bullshit effort on a night when I spent big to take the family.

 

[njdevils1982]

 

[Oneiro]

These are the kind of games that make old timers cringe a bit.

Gotta win against this type of coverage and simplicity is probably a part of that.

 

[tymed]

More goals against than shots for... I'm not sure Schmid is the big problem here, theres been nothing but holes around him.
