GDT: Preseason Game #3 - Your New Jersey Devils vs. Washington Capitals, 7 PM, NJDTV

Anyway, that's Palat and Tatar down. Whose next on the bitching carousel?

Markstrom is gonna get his turn sooner rather than later if he starts the year cold. Even poor preseason play could get us there.

We iced our top 2 lines as well as Noesen and Palat. Also Dougie, Dillon, Casey on the backend. This certainly wasn’t a preseason lineup with a lack of talent.

Two lines and two top four defenseman should've been plenty. The lack of talent isn't an excuse for that one.

Oh we did?

Shows how much I cared about the Preseason when I assumed we were icing yet another AHL lineup and not watched the game.

When's Game 1 of the season again?

From what I saw though, like 85% of the "issues" were from the ahlers, not the main guys. That's not to say the nhl guys were perfect either but I think it's more just preseason thing and not something to actually worry about honestly

Fair enough, I don't put a ton of thought into the preseason either. It def wasn't a lineup like the one in Montreal though.

My thoughts too. Sure some regulars looked rusty, it was their first or second games. But most of the mistakes that led to goals were on guys who won’t play on the team. The 1st, 2nd and 4th goals against were certainly made by AHL guys.

On the other hand, I do like Keefe calling them out for it and not just being ok with it being a preseason game

Yeah he's definitely on the 'gotta show me' list, especially after his poor end to last year - I get they traded half their D, he wasn't happy with being held hostage, yadda yadda yadda...now it's the time to put up.

Friday after lunchtime lol

I wonder if that had more to do with the lack of talent on the ice than it had to do with effort.

The Montreal game definitely was a lack of talent.

Last night was a stinker.

It reminded me of last season with the teased comeback that was ultimately failed, complete with the goal with the extra attacker, which didn't tie the game because we were down by two and not one lol.

Maybe it's not the goalies, Markstrom is another one on the scrapheap. 3.00 GA .895 SV
