GDT: Playoff Odds are Shrinking: Your New Jersey Devils vs. St. Louis Blues, 7 PM EST, ESPN

[SJinNewJersey]

Palat Nico Meier dominant. 70+% cf, 75+% shots, 2-0 goals.

I'd still break that line up for next game though, just to see what happens.

And I’m with Chico and Matt, how can Dawes not get at least a 3d star of the game. If he’s invariably the goat when we lose, why not a star when we win? He gave us what we needed tonight. If he doesn’t play well we don’t win. The glove save in the 2d period on Buchenevitch changed the course of the game.

 

[NJDevils17]

Palat’s advanced metrics have been great because that’s who he is. He’s a player who does the dirty work for others.

Don’t love the contract but this year he’s lived up to the expectation.

 

[My3Sons]

Just win as many hockey games as we can and see where we land. Bubble is full of bad teams, you never know

Do not tell Fitz that until after the trade deadline

Yes, and while we dominated 5v5, the Blues had a ton of PP pressure.

Daws was our best PK'r.

Who was the 3rd star?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

St. Louis is slow and bad. Fun game to watch, will take any win. But woof St. Louis.

Also, I can't go back to non club seats. I've seen how the other side lives and I want that life. Pissed 3 times and didn't have to wait in line once. Eat all the food. Almost ran over Chico. It was great.

Fun game. Timo was cooking.

I really hope this doesn’t result in a Green hire

Palat

Aight so Meier was #1, who was #2? Nico?

 

[Camille the Eel]

also all the other stuff, play along the boards and off the puck, physically and defensively. This is pretty much who he’s always been. We are getting the Palat we thought we were getting, if you’d watched him in Tampa. He would be a playoff hero but that wasn’t really his daily identity. What we decided to pay him and the term, well we can think that was good or not. But he’s playing to historical form.

Palat. (Nico and Timo).

 

[Guttersniped]

Team looked FAAAAAAAAST and on FIIIIIIRE tonight!

That fire is dangerous, it scorched a fan there.

Yup

Only our third win over St. Louis since 1989.

So glad we beat that piece of sh*t team that we always seem to lose to (see 1989 that you mentioned).

 

[Whaddagoal]

"Playoff Odds Shrinking" title was sent home tonight.

Now, do it again. Each core player should rotate 4 pt nights a game and we will get in. Nico had one a few games ago, now Timo. Jack NEXT? Bratt? Drink stirrer? Luke?

 

[njdevil26]

Is Jack just going to become a winger and now we need a second line center? lol

Palat-Hischier-Meier
Hughes-?????-Bratt

 

[NjDevsRR]

Top 6 speed is incredible without Toffoli

Hes a good player but Thank you, but give me my 1st for a goalie

 

[Saint Beaurivage]

I want to win Saturday and then beat the Rangers on Monday so bad.

 

[NjDevsRR]

I have to say MacDermid definitely makes a difference. So many times where the Blues players didn’t dare do anything to our guys. Every time he was on the ice the Blues bench had large eyes, they were aware of his presence

Yeah but it's f'n Carolina so I'm not confident at all, especially when you consider that we can't seem to string 2 f'n wins in a row regardless this year.


(I mean..I'll still hope for that but.....meh.)

Were they? How do we know this?

That guy is a massive lug out there. But whatever. One roster spot in a lost season doesn't mean much.

I will say we absolutely need to move on from Smith. He is such a a disaster every time he is one the ice.

How? Because I literally watched the Blues bench the entire damn game lmfao

Agree but you never know though. This team can get on a roll and I wouldn't be surprised at all. I think they played top notch the past 2 nights.

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[glenwo2]

You mean "RUFF" didn't try, Adam.

This is only Green's 2nd game coaching.

 

[Devils Trap]

Timo didn’t play RW ever. 1st game and he cooks.

You can’t make this shit up
