GDT: Stars @ Devils - 6:00 PM - MSG

[Bleedred]

Get ready for Chuck! Or Marty…

Chuck? I don't think so.

Marty? Probably.

 

[vtdevils2k]

Gotta score here.....

 

[Devs3cups]

This place kind of sucks these days tbh. Everyone turning on each other, hot takes after hot takes. Just an unpleasant experience unfortunately.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Dougie Hamilton without finish isn’t particularly valuable

 

[FinnishDevil]

I actually don’t think the cap is that big of an issue. The 3C pickings are sooooo slim though I really don’t see anything good out there. RoR would be great but he’d fetch a haul with how much term he has left. Then on top of that we need a top 6er. It’s a hard fix in season. I also don’t trust Fitz to fix it considering he got us into this mess in the first place with his dog shit forward evaluations.

I gotta be honest I'm not expert on deadline capspace but CapWages shows us with negative 786k at the moment so that cant be good.

 

[NJDevs26]

This is probably my personal most unlikable Devils team. Like I really love a lot of the pieces on the team individually but in totality I have not been able to stand this team recently.

Nah they got a ways to go to get to 1995-96, the 2010 bullshit or even last year

 

[njdevils1982]

the longer version

 

[Hisch13r]

I gotta be honest I'm not expert on deadline capspace but CapWages shows us with negative 786k at the moment so that cant be good.

Last time I checked PuckPedia had us at 7 mil for TDL cap room. Then you also have another 3 mil between Nate and Tatar that you could send the other way to create more room if need be

 

[Bleedred]

The goalie’d excuses are bullshit. These guys are just horrible finishers across the board.

Not only that, there's just not enough skill for some of these guys. They aren't expected to really score.

What if Noesen wasn't pacing for a career year? This is a sorry ass forward group beyond the big guns.

 

[Hisch13r]

Nah they got a ways to go to get to 1995-96, the 2010 bullshit or even last year

This team might be better than last year but last years team was more watchable. This team isn’t going to do shit anyway. The struggles this year are probably compounded by last year making me hate this team even more. Not old enough for 96. 2010 was clearly a coaching issue

 

[Devs3cups]

Dougie should easily have 5+ more goals this year. Easily.

 

[onmygameboi]

Highly skeptical there's a contender on his watch.

He's overcorrected TWO offseasons in a row.

TWO

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Another strong PP. Wide open net missed by Dougie. Not much more you can do other than get your main shooter looks like that.

 

[Bleedred]

I don't know why anyone is expecting anything good at the deadline.

You're probably gonna get a forward that helps a little bit and some f***in defensive defenseman that SUCKS to be a placeholder for Siegs.

And if you tell me we're not getting some f***in defensive defenseman then you haven't been paying attention to trends by this management group.

 

[NJersey]

Good pp and nothing

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Devils get a stick obviously held, but of course no call.

 

[Bleedred]

Dougie should easily have 5+ more goals this year. Easily.

Why? He sucks anymore.

He's not as good as he used to be.

Talk about finishing, he's another example of a guy that just doesn't have it anymore.

And I've eased up on him lately, especially since people wanna go with a defense of 5 defensive defensemen that can't break 20 points next year if we do send him away.

But I honestly think this is skill erosion here more than luck.

ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL

DEVILS WON'T SCORE NO GOALS

Nowhere near the shot he had before his pec injury.

 

[onmygameboi]

On June 10, 2000, Devils center Jason Arnott scored in double overtime in Game 6, giving New Jersey their second Stanley Cup championship.

He should have more goals cause he's having prime looks often, but he can't finish.

 

[Patrik26]

Exactly. Might look the same to the naked eye but there's definitely a difference.

 

[Forge]

Coming out of the break and getting shutout by Casey Desmith is some truly lol shit

 

[Bleedred]

He should have more goals cause he's having prime looks often, but he can't finish.

That's the thing. I think there's a case to be made that certain players can't finish because they just aren't (as) good anymore. And I think he's one of them.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Guys we needed to be good are pretty much invisible since the Christmas break
