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

[kiwidevil]

I don't know what you do with the lines. But Nico needs to lie down and Mercer needs to ride the pine. He has lost all confidence in the O zone.

 

[guitarguyvic]

is there even a way to get a goalie this early in the season?

we really needed Hellebyuck! i hope we werent cheap trying to get him

No. And even if you did that goalie will likely also struggle trying to get used to a new team and system. And also if our defense continues to suck it would make that transition even worse.

 

[NJDevs26]

The team defense yes, sucks. But not the game to deride the goaltending.

Not really, goal one was a clunker for sure but that second period more or less made up for it

People need to quit it with the Hellebuyck shit. They clearly had no interest in moving him. This is also very clearly not a bad goaltending game. 1st goal was a stinker sure but he's the only reason this isn't a blowout right now.

The intermissions could really use some more FanDuel ads.

 

[DevilDog]

Sabres are on their 3rd string goalie. Game’s only tied because of some bad puck luck. This game is theirs for the taking but they need to show up.

 

[guitarguyvic]

What’s worse an average goalie looking below average or what’s supposed to be a well above average group of skaters looking below average in their own zone?

Rhetorical question really. Should be obvious which is worse.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Vitek has been fine to good tonight overall

And all season

 

[13BearerOfHope]

Three revelations:
- Nico is always a tad too slow, he's at risk of getting injured. Weird, looks like he needs a holiday already...
- Holtz playing great on 4th who would have thought
- Buffalo is a tough A team for having played yesterday

 

[devilsblood]

Hischier is asleep

He probably shouldn’t be playing

 

[BronzeAgeDevilsFan]

random thought at this point, but what the heck did Miller do to Ruff that got him benched behind Smith

He’s hurt

He was an ECHL player in the preseason. Then got hurt when the season started so he hasn't been able to replace Smith.

 

[Sheros expletives]

Well he's injured, plus he absolutely sucked during preseason

 

[BronzeAgeDevilsFan]

ah, i understand. i didnt watch the pre-season games. ty

How did he dare getting hurt? Definitely deserves being benched.

 

[MasterofGrond]

I’d take an injured Miller over this version of smith

 

[Bcap88]

First goal was a clunker and the second goal was due to viteks’s own stupidity of playing the puck instead of freezing it

 

[DevilDog]

ah, i understand. i didnt watch the pre-season games. ty

The #6 was Smith’s job to lose, Lindy loves him. Miller needed to beat him out and didn’t. Then he got injured in practice.

 

[Hisch13r]

That went straight out??

 

[Emperoreddy]

What you f***s get for getting on his faceoffs

 

[Incharge1976]

Shouldn't be a penalty. Didn't look like he shot it.

 

[njdevils1982]

Well I guess maybe since a huge number of their fans are in Ontario.
