GDT: We're Here: Your New Jersey Devils @ Philadelphia Flyers, 7 PM, ESPN+/Hulu

[captainscott12]

So after one small sample size period my opinions

Good: Holtz, Marino

Bad: Blackwood, Graves, Ruff

can't argue... i would say mercer looked pretty good... too

 

[Drivingrain]

We lost the NHL package in Canada and have Sportsnet now... this is the first game and it's crap... looks like a satellite feed in a major storm and locking up... fack! Anyone else have a bad feed from Philly?

If you're not forced to stream it, then count your blessings. The rest of us need to spend 20 minutes on our phones trying to turn off various alerts to make ESPN+ slightly better than useless.

 

[Xirik]

Everyone is back.

Back again?

 

[Devs3cups]

Bratt looks good.

Hughes looked fine to me. Hamilton was good too.

 

[Guadana]

Yes! We should get some established veterans in return. Phil Kessel a cup winner and a goal slinger and hmm.. Tom Wilson to add grit and personality to the team

Mister Yeo should help with stucture of the game.

 

[My3Sons]

Torts is friends with the ESPN guys as he was in the studio with them. It’s not surprising they are pumping his tires

 

[Patrik26]

Jesus Christ it’s Game 1 Period 1 on the road in October. Seriously, get some help. Get laid or go to therapy or do SOMETHING.

My wife wants to watch the rest of the game. Oh well.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Yeah. Same here. Sportsnet as well. Dropping out constantly. I haven’t had any issues like this prior to this game. And of course the other games are playing absolutely fine. Frustrating.

Will also add the feed is a good 2 minutes behind the radio feed. Embarrassing.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Mercer is such a puck hound.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Again, don’t worry about Lindy.

 

[My3Sons]

Is this the period of the long change? If only someone was there to tell me

 

[Patrik26]

Man can see galaxies billions of light years away but can't sync audio/video when streaming.

 

[Hisch13r]

Yegor's ability to get shots off no matter what is crazy

 

[NjDevsRR]

Is this the period of the long change? If only someone was there to tell me

 

[Emperoreddy]

Is this the period of the long change? If only someone was there to tell me

We will never know without Cangi

 

[Emperoreddy]

Used way too many red pepper flakes in my dinner tonight so I am ready to trade everyone

 

[Bleedred]

I mostly agree with you, there are some who were overly-positive (nothing wrong with being overly-positive, so don't get me wrong) that look to be flipping the switch tonight.

However, I've been preaching the word of #NONBELIEVER in Blackwood for quite some time, as well as #FireRuff long ago. I spent the first couple pages of the GDT this afternoon slinging mud at Ruff for the decision to start him.

So I feel somewhat entitled to continue making these statements. I've stayed consistent with them for close to a year now.

 

[Devils731]

The defensive pattern was never gonna be drastically different with the same coach.

So then it’s not unfair to be disappointed the Devils are defending with a similar concept.

 

[Xirik]

Holtz being on the 1st PP just makes so much sense that its just odd that he's not.

 

[Puckclektr]

Mister Yeo should help with stucture of the game.

Sounds like a Chinese guy.

 

[njdevils1982]

....i rock the mic like a vandal

 

[Cheddabombs]

Fast start to the period

 

[My3Sons]

Why is Tatar out there every other shift?

 

[Devils090]

Smith clearing the crease

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Holtz being on the 1st PP just makes so much sense that its just odd that he's not.

Vanacek starting over Blackwood could not have been more obvious. So much for that.
