Please shoot. Please. Just please.

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

This. I’d throw every and anything on net

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.

It's either us or the Avs

 

[TheUnseenHand]

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

Uh, no I don't lol. You sure love to point out every pessimistic post I make and ignore every optimistic one

 

[TheNeutralZone]

You can't skate fast when you refuse to frakking skate.

That's not possible at any level, especially this one.

 

[NJDevilsFan21]

This team will never come out with it together so long as the lines are being juggled. I wonder what new combos we end up with by next game.

Can't believe how much I'm missing Sevs and Graves back there too right now. Though I guess it was expected the D core was taking a step back before moving forward.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

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.

he just doesnt have anything that stands out!

really hope we spend on a youngish proven goalie.. that way they can grow with us!!

a temporary solution is only a bandaid

 

[NJDevs26]

Vitek's been good. Schmid is awful.

Unfortunately we know from last year Vitek has a shelf life of around 40 games or so before he peters out, we really needed the 1B to play like it

 

[guitarguyvic]

I mean I could understand bitching about the goaltending as your go to if the team in front was dominating…but they have two shots and they’ve been f***ing lackluster in almost every game so far despite the record.

I’m f***ing pissed because I spent money on this shit.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

The people bemoaning about having Graves and Severson haven't seen a Penguins or Jacket game this year, I guess

3rd goal he was beaten too easily. When a goalie is on he'll be more confident and challenge more. Schmid looks unsure of him self. Saw this at 0-0.

I'm not judging that off of one year. Also for all we know the mental coach has helped him and he'll be good in the playoffs. MAF's sports psychologist turned around his entire career in the playoffs

Devils have a way of turning it on. Won’t at all be shocked if this is 3-2 going into the 3rd.

 

[NJDevs26]

The people bemoaning about having Graves and Severson haven't seen a Penguins or Jacket game this year, I guess

Not to mention even our ‘good’ defensemen aren’t playing like it

 

[Dialamo]

I doubt things would be much different if we still had Sevo and Graves. Team needs to get going when the game starts. Period.

 

[NJDevs26]

That’s literally been every year of his career, he struggled every bit as much down the stretch of the regular season as he did in the playoffs

 

[Hisch13r]

3rd goal he was beaten too easily. When a goalie is on he'll be more confident and challenge more. Schmid looks unsure of him self. Saw this at 0-0.

Yup. When that first early save where the shot was high and he tried to control the rebound and it bounced off of him 15 feet away I was already thinking "here we go again"

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Vitek is in.

They stunk it up…but they’ve been bad in period 1 almost every game this year and plenty last year. The goalie is why we have little chance to win after 1.

Eh, I don't know. The Canes are very bad matchup for our goalies, they shoot from everywhere. As we saw last night, Vitek can make a save or two that changes the game. I don't know Schmid has that in him. His rebound control has been disgusting to say the least this year too.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Yup. When that first early save where the shot was high and he tried to control the rebound and it bounced off of him 15 feet away I was already thinking "here we go again"

So was he. That's the issue.

 

[My3Sons]

Is Kinkaid healthy yet?

 

[Hisch13r]

That’s literally been every year of his career

He's literally only played 37, 42, and 52 regular season games so please explain how he has a 40 game shelf life when it's only really been seen in one year and it was his first time doing it?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Is Kinkaid healthy yet?

I'd rather Schmid.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Devils have a way of turning it on. Won’t at all be shocked if this is 3-2 going into the 3rd.

As long as Smidt doesn't give up any more softies

 

[glenwo2]

Vitek is in.

Not surprising.

Akira sh*t the bed.
