GDT: THE OPPOSITE: Devils @ Arizona 5PM MSGSN

[mdj12784]

He has been a horrible hockey player for weeks. It's insane to keep sending him out there if he is really this hurt (which it seems he is)

 

[Andre Palot]

This game was the opposite of last game.

We outplayed them once we were down by 2 and 3 goals. Just like Dallas did to us last game when we were up multiple goals.

Shots were 10-5 Coyotes at one point while the game was still in reach.

Good to see the GDT was a success then

Jack not being hurt would be the far more alarming outcome of this, but the fact they won't play him at center and he is taking literally zero faceoffs of top of looking like a shell of the player he is largely points to him being beat to shit

If he’s not hurt and that’s what we have now, I’d be very on board with trading him.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Have you watched this team? Sit tight EE.

And there is still teams who have lost far more then us. We are picking where we currently are and the pick should be traded for talent

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I feel like people overrate how talented this core really is. If Hughes isn't leading them offensively, they are one of the worst offensive team in the league.

Palat, Haula shouldn't be nowhere close to a top6 of a team trying to contender. Our defense has like one offensive talented dman

I mean we watched a slightly better Palat play a key top 6 role on some of the most talented teams in the salary cap era. You can stick him on any line.

Do we know for SURE that Jack needs surgery? It’s pretty fair to believe he’s hurt and may potentially need it but is it something that’s been confirmed around here? Haven’t been able to read up much in the last week.

No but watching him play and the fact he doesn’t take faceoffs, even as the secondary guy on his line, you can see he’s protecting himself from any stress on his upper body.

His shooting is less crisp, his puck handling under pressure (his bread and butter) is much less crisp, and he avoids contact when forechecking.

I think visually we can confirm he is protecting something. If it’s his shoulder then he’s probably due for surgery on it and he would likely be back 100% for next pre-season if he went now and maybe miss some pre-season if they wait another month.

We aren't going to be anywhere near Celebrini

1 in 20 right now.

More likely that we get celebrini than score a power play goal

No we don't but it's panic mode!

This is never not hilarious to me.

It's called N. Bench under franchise history lol.

By the way, that bench in the picture would be an upgrade over some of the people currently standing in front of that bench today……

 

[mdj12784]

I can’t stand the Tkachuk‘s, but man do we desperately need that type of player

 

[John Pedro]

He's clearly on the decline.

WOOF

Glad I didn’t waste my time watching this one. Was grilling chicken thighs and cod for fish and chicken tacos with house made cilantro crema.

Suck it Green.

track two 3:01 (and the whole album is solid also)

 

[Andre Palot]

Devils suck

Yankees always injured

Giants perpetual bums.

what's a fan have left to be excited for?

well, one of the top 10 offensive DMen in the NHL has been out for months, so

 

[Emperoreddy]

Palat is really not the issue. He has been solid all year

It’s bad when my Bears look more appealing…

 

[Devils731]

WOOF

And what’s odd is that most of the PP goals, I believe, weren’t coming from his unit.

 

[ZYXWVUT]

I've not been one of the ''WHY DIDN'T WE GET A GOALIE SOONER?'' and I certainly was very hesitant to fire Ruff because I knew who we were getting if he got fired this year and we're seeing that right now.

But the fact that the first move we made this year before acquiring a goalie or making a coaching change was trading for a goon......That's really just more joke fodder for this pathetic season.

Yep laughable.

 

[Guadana]

I can’t stand the Tkachuk‘s, but man do we desperately need that type of player

We need. Hardly need.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

He's clearly on the decline.

His underlying numbers do not say this. Regardless, he excels in areas we suck as a team.

 

[Bleedred]

Exactly. There is nothing to play for. Get the surgery as soon as possible, and prepare for next season.

I just hope it's not some surgery that requires 4-6 months of rehab, where if he were shut down NOW, he would miss no time next year and be back right in time for the start of camp at the latest.

If it's a 4-6 month thing or something like Dougie is going through, that pushes him to questionable for opening night.

If it is that and he's shut down right now, it's probably no problem. Another month? That would be something worth breathing fire at everybody over.

On paper their offensive core is objectively better than more than half of the teams above them. It’s not a talent issue.

true just as Jack not been healthy don't help
