GDT: Sabres @ Devils - 7 P.M. - MSGSN/MSGSNZ1-Z2

[JK3]

This is the shit we’ve been talking about. Awesome that we’re getting saves but holy f***ing shit tighten things up. This is a major problem.

Luke and Smith on the same pairing has to go, you can’t have your two most high risk d-men on the same pairing

Agreed. Smith doesn’t score so he doesn’t have the rep of being high risk, but he is.

 

[Bleedred]

Luke and Smith on the same pairing has to go, you can’t have your two most high risk d-men on the same pairing

Luke is also playing his off side.

Maybe scratch Smith and put Miller in (I know he's hurt now) and move Luke back to his natural side.

You can’t have your “3rd pairing stead PK guy” be the riskiest guy on the ice

 

[Killing Joke]

Buffalo has been smoking the devils this period.

 

[Mgd31]

We have stunk this period

 

[Sheros expletives]

A distinct lack of hardness in their game right now, I would say. Need to get back to the basics, get back to being hard

 

[forceten]

We have a lot of problems. Goaltending is a big one. Defense. Gotta work through it

[TheUnseenHand]

When Skinner is in front of the net and not on his ass you don't have enough hardness.

 

[Devils731]

A lot of what I see is very clearly individual mistakes, and not a structure problem.

The individuals try to make plays because they have no support or options.

 

[njdevils1982]

damn right lazar.....someone facewash or anything....clear the f***ing crease team!

 

[MasterofGrond]

I don’t care if Miller can’t PK I don’t care if he was bad in preseason

He can’t possible be worse than Smith

Smith is so f***ing bad

 

[guitarguyvic]

This is not Stanley cup caliber defense that’s for f***ing sure.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Goalie has done nothing but bail out their idiotic play this period. Time to reward your goalie and play hockey. Stop looking for the cute cross seam pass. Buffalo is waiting on it every time.

 

[Alex NJD]

Is someone hurt/benched? Lines seem different the last few shifts

 

[Xirik]

all through the offseason everyone here seemed to be on the same page of "we just lost two stable defenseman, team defense might hit some speedbumps early in the season".

Now its happening and everyone is hysterical?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Technically the trivia answer is Anton Volchenkov lol

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I don’t care if Miller can’t PK I don’t care if he was bad in preseason

He can’t possible be worse than Smith

Smith is so f***ing bad

Isn't Miller hurt?

 

[Hisch13r]

I don’t care if Miller can’t PK I don’t care if he was bad in preseason

He can’t possible be worse than Smith

Smith is so f***ing bad

I imagine Miller would've been tossed in if healthy. Foote should've gotten a look at this point though

 

[Blender]

 

[NJDevs26]

Agreed. Smith doesn’t score so he doesn’t have the rep of being high risk, but he is.

Smith is high risk because he’s dumb, Luke is high risk because he’s cocky and still learning

 

[JrFischer54]

Is that the liver king on the side advertisement

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I imagine Miller would've been tossed in if healthy. Foote should've gotten a look at this point though

Smith is better than Foote. That would be a true disaster.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Oh shit, Comrie down.
