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

[Devs3cups]

We lost because of these two f***ing idiots that our gm our way too much trust in. View attachment 757991

Schmid being at -2.34 GSAx is bad. I would've liked Vitek to save that 2nd goal, but I won't lose sleep over it. Schmid didn't help against the Isles and he was highly responsible for the loss tonight. I'm sure he'll figure it out, but he's going through it right now.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Not holding this one against Vitek after he played last night and had to come in cold.

Schmid is in a rough patch though

 

[OmNomNom]

I'll say this

A loss this bad prob makes for a better wake up call than losing outright

 

[Devs3cups]

lmao

One of these is not like the other

Like to see a certain someone justifying it

Haula is clearly playing injured and yet somehow he's the best player on his line. Palat is skating through molasses every shift and couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, and I don't think Mercer realizes he's holding a hockey stick.

How the hell do you go from flirting with 30 goals and 60 points to looking this goddamn clueless in one summer? In a contract year no less.

I'm not going to be panic and be all gloom and doom, but this is pretty f***ing unacceptable for a team with Cup aspirations and arguably the best player in the world at the current moment. There are multiple points of failure here, and it's all players who have no excuse not to be better.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

We will never win a cup with this goaltending and defense.

If you think otherwise you are quite delusional.

Can't wait to see Ruff's presser.

 

[Guadana]

That was a fun game. Bad things happens. Hope Ruff will do something with bad first periods. Nico and Timo playing better, Mercer should add a lot of gas. Defense... we knew that this season will be about offense only but I didnt expect that Luke would be our better defenseman.

This lose on Ruff. Team cant miss three goals right from the start of the period two times in the game.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Yeah I have no clue what the f*** happened to Mercer. That guy is the most disappointing player in a big group of players.

Palat’s not on that line. Holtz wasn’t all that good tonight but I’d still rather him get the shot than Palat. All Palat’s good for is f***ing up great set ups

The Randos are wildn’

They truly enjoy the misery more than winning

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Also our 3rd and 4th lines suck. Lazar is garbage and McLeod/Bastian have been horrendous.

This is just stuff that happens in a season. Mercer is looking quite bad right now, but he will sort it out - he's a good young player. Haula will get healthy.

 

[Maine Fan]

Back to back games. Started off bad. It happens. It is early in the season not even 10 games. The post game is just making noise to fill the time slot. It is just one hockey game.

Onto Buffalo, Friday.

Later

Luke is playing some good hockey right now. Thankfully he was able to come back.

Anyone coming in with “I told you so’s” and jumping off the nearest ledge over game 6 of 82 needs to settle down. Anyone in and around this game will tell you that games like this happen, especially in the early months. The team has to get it together, of course. But it’s not the end of days.

I think coaching is a bigger issue but I'm tired of going down that path.

lol. okay. the 4th line has been a highlight basically every game

4th line has been FAR from an issue.

I mean it's a forum man, let people vent, lol. There's no reason to gatekeeping someone's anger over a very bad game.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

The randos bruh!!!

He's 21 years old, let him breathe a bit.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Very relevant meme the mast few pages lmao

 

[Oneiro]

We’ve never drafted a Russian goalie, if I’m not mistaken. Or at least they’ve never suited up at the NHL level. Let’s correct that.
