GDT: The LGA Terminal B experience: Sharks at Devils (7 PM EST; MSG, ESPN+)

[DerekDevils30]

They don't play anything like last years team.

Night and day defensively. Need to work on the urgency offensively. Don’t know what it is about back to backs. Annoying

 

[britdevil]

Brit deserved better

You come to expect getting shutout by Mac Black and the San Jose Sharks.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Shitty, awful performance. Getting shut out by that turd is truly disgraceful.

Maybe the "turd" wasn't the problem when he was here. Right now the Sharks are playing a lot better than the Devils are.

The frustrating part to me was the Devils basically playing the same 5-6 players for the final four minutes - with predictable results.

What does that tell the rest of the roster?

 

[jkrdevil]

You're right they'll be "fine". They're a "fine" team. They're not a contending team. They're a bubble team.

They aren’t even a bubble team. By every metric they should be about a 100 point team. That’s a solid playoff team.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Hopefully lesson learned

Not a thing with this team

 

[britdevil]

What does that tell the rest of the roster?

That they had 56 minutes to do something, anything?

 

[JK3]

If Dougie were to score a goal it sure as shit should have come during those last three minutes but nope.

 

[Bleedred]

Dougie has been horrible and was completely ineffective on that 6 on 3/6 on 4.

But I'm still willing to give him more time. He didn't play again after November of last year.

And he has been a good player for us his entire time here prior to this year.

But I do think we'll need to come up with a plan to jettison him probably in the 2026 offseason. First order is jettisoning Steve Austin in the 2025 offseason.

This place is unbearable. You would think we just got outshot 50-10 and lost 6-0. My goodness.

 

[NJDevs26]

This place is unbearable. You would think we just got outshot 50-10 and lost 6-0. My goodness.

We would have been against an actual contender, we got our shit pushed in against a damn lottery team

 

[britdevil]

8.8 million dollar man where art though?

Had a sick snipe tonight tbf.

 

[Hisch13r]

This place is unbearable. You would think we just got outshot 50-10 and lost 6-0. My goodness.

Shutout by the worst team in the league and didn't even get goalie'd to do it. This was pathetic.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Feels like they went into tonight just with the idea that Blackwood would play like he did as a Devil and none of the guys legit wanted to test him. I counted maybe 1-2 good A+ chances on him tonight, everything else was a muffin or he had clear sight on tonight

 

[Comparison Ford]

just left the game. truly the most pathetic showing i’ve seen since that one 7-1 shellacking by the rangers a couple years ago

 

[Unknown Caller]

We would have been against an actual contender

No they wouldn’t. Stop being dramatic.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Alright, you guys go ahead and argue how this game proves the season is officially over

It doesn't prove the season is over but inconsistency and losing to garbage teams is not a playoff formula.

 

[Bleedred]

Right now the Sharks are playing a lot better than the Devils are.

Wait, what?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

This place is unbearable. You would think we just got outshot 50-10 and lost 6-0. My goodness.

That wasn't a good game, lmao. You play that game against any higher level team and it's a blowout. If that's the game they play in Florida, they're getting blown out twice this week

 

[Marv4Life]

This is who we lost to. Sad.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Shutout by the worst team in the league and didn't even get goalie'd to do it. This was pathetic.

They scored 0 goals on 3.77 xG. That’s not goalied?! Just stop.

They also played an overtime game last night.

 

[Whaddagoal]

The full crowd stayed to the end too, that was wildly disappointing showing. The boos came out intensely

 

[Bleedred]

Feels like they went into tonight just with the idea that Blackwood would play like he did as a Devil and none of the guys legit wanted to test him. I counted maybe 1-2 good A+ chances on him tonight, everything else was a muffin or he had clear sight on tonight

Bratt tried to beat him with a floater on the opening shift, then a wraparound later in the period lol.

 

[Mgd31]

just left the game. truly the most pathetic showing i’ve seen since that one 7-1 shellacking by the rangers a couple years ago

I’m annoyed but come on lol

What does that tell the rest of the roster?

They’re one of the worst teams in the league.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Will get a true litmus test of the team this week in Florida. We’ll know exactly where they’re at as a team right now
