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

[NJDevs26]

3 goals on .72 expected

What was our expected GA, negative something?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Did the guys all coke up before the game. They were jittery on every pass and didn't look like they gave 2 shits.

Worst period I've seen in maybe 2 seasons?

Coke would actually make them look like they give a shit with its effects, half of them looked like they took Xanax.

 

[NjDevsRR]

The randos that show up in here when things aren’t going perfectly I swear…

 

[Hisch13r]

Pretty eerie start to the year, didn't we get absolutely lambasted by the Caps this year on this date last year too after beating the Isles? I get sticking to script but come the f*** on, lmao.

I mean we dominated that game at least. Then the next time we played them they dominated us and everything Jack touched went in. All of our losses at the start of last year we dominated the games. They were playing a lot better to start last year and goalies were really massive issue. It's both now.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

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

We are not close to the fastest team anymore. Probably top 3rd.

 

[Bcap88]

What was our expected GA, negative something?

.37

[Louskoolaid89]

What the hell is Marco's?

LOL

Midwest shit pizza.

 

[Killing Joke]

2 shots on net against a horrendous capitals team lol. We ain’t doing much with this schmid as our goalie if this is the sort of dog shit he’s gonna be looking like.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We are not close to the fastest team anymore. Probably top 3rd.

Based on what metric?

 

[guitarguyvic]

Shmid obviously didn’t come up big at all, but the devils have looked like a bubble team 5v5 for like 60% of the first 16 periods of this season so far.

 

[Incharge1976]

They have scored 5 goals 5 on 5. This team would be sunk if not for the powerplay. Need to get it together.

 

[Hisch13r]

The Swiss Quartet have been something else

 

[Emperoreddy]

The randos that show up in here when things aren’t going perfectly I swear…

Those honest folks feel scared to tell the truth about how much of a poverty franchise we are when we are constantly winning

I really don't think I've watched a single other game where any team looked as bad as we have for the first 10 minutes of every game we have played. The team doesn't show up and relies on luck with Schmid and big saves from VV to hold them in. Schmid and no luck = 3-0 after 1. It would be some shit for this rookie goalie to shut us out.

 

[njdevils1982]

bullshit biz

if you're a player with the puck right near the blueline your job is to get it out....there was acres of space in front of haula....that turnover was on siegs big time

 

[forceten]

I will say - imagine if we had a Sorokin in goal.

 

[mdj12784]

Can’t even test this goalie off the street. We need to see a completely different team in the 2nd

 

[DevilDog]

After 1:

CF%: 40.63%
SCF%: 47.37%
HDCF%: 55.56%
xGF: 0.42
xGA: 0.67
xGF%: 38.46%

Gross period by everyone. Schmid at -2.33 GSAx. Yikessss

I was expecting the xGA to be that bad. Thanks for posting, game should be 1-0.

Got to start Vitek next period. Hopefully the rest of the team wakes up.

 

[Bleedred]

Worst effort of the year

We look HORRIFIC

But Schmid is giving us no chance. Game should be 1-0.

He looked like a mess from the drop of the puck. That rebound on the first shot he faced was a sign of things to come.

 

[JK3]

Hopefully they come out flying after an ass whooping intermission.

They just need to get one halfway before the midpoint then it’s game on.

You call a shutout everything we go down early so I guess after 100 games it has to happen eventually

 

[BostonDevil]

Please shoot. Please. Just please.

Shoot all the time. Shoot. No BS. Pucks on net.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Based on what metric?

I mean, fair, it's subjective. Likewise, I could say by what metric are we the fastest team in the league? We are above average, but several other teams look speedier to my eye. But that's just an opinion.

That said, we sure as hell are way faster than this old ass caps team.

 

[JrFischer54]

I’m not saying goaltending is a problem yet but it certainly isn’t looking good.
