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

[MasterofGrond]

Honest question? Some people really seem to dislike Blackwood. Is there a chance the fact that his vaccination delay is still a factor in that? I mean. I remember people were so mad at him for that. Any chance that is still an issue as to what seems more like animosity as opposed to dislike?

No, that just means I feel less bad for ragging on him so hard.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This game is still tied with a competent goalie

 

[guitarguyvic]

I wouldn’t even give Ruff ten games. No more than 5 max. I have no idea if it will actually make a difference but this team needs some kind of f***ing kick in the pants. There’s few other tactics available at this point.

 

[Oneiro]

I don't see much to be encouraged by thus far.

 

[britdevil]

Tatar has nearly two full minutes more ice time than Bratt

LMAO

 

[Dylan9z9]

Is this team ever going to change?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Yo. It’s game #1. They are controlling the possession. Calm down the overreactions on day 1. First ten games of the season is always random. We of all teams should know that with all of our great starts the last few seasons.

Only question mark is Blackwood. But bitching about the forwards and defensemen in this first stretch is always foolish.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

This Bratt usage should have Lindy fired after game one.

Ruff has bottled this game from top to bottom.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Where are my down two goals calls, Bettman?

 

[Devils090]

Is this team ever going to change?

When Brunette takes over

 

[guitarguyvic]

So I was told this is just one game out of 82 and we should take nothing away from it. Judging by the content of the posts so far it seems most of this board is not on board with that opinion. Lol

 

[HersheyBob27]

Hes been useless cmon

 

[Cheddabombs]

Is this team ever going to change?

There might be a change coming up in the next stoppage

 

[Blackjack]

Well this is just not our night

 

[TrufleShufle]

What just happened? I saw the puck moving and a bunch of flyers chasing like there was someone carrying that puck to the net around them? Invisible man?

 

[DerekDevils30]

Is this team ever going to change?

Most coaches would have them change every 30 seconds or so.

 

[Saugus]

ESPN+ feed is trash. My audio is fine, but it keeps lagging and buffering. The quality is so bad it feels like I'm pirating this game off Kazaa circa 2003 or some shit.

If Blackwood got his 7th booster he would be playing better.

 

[RNCDevil]

Deslauriers looks like Gritty IS actually his father.

 

[John Pedro]

Tatar has nearly two full minutes more ice time than Bratt

LMAO

one good preseason obvious weights more than a full season of amazing play

 

[Better Call Sal]

Ray nailed it. We’re largely operating from long range and low percentage chances.

Hell of a play by Jack though there, that would have been massive.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I don't see much to be encouraged by thus far.

I don't know if I see anything honestly. Maybe that they aren't being outplayed? But that's not saying much....

 

[MasterofGrond]

I’m going to will a Ruff firing overnight

Bad teams and old players can look good early in a season. It gets harder as the good teams get going and the old players accumulate bumps and brusies

Hard work beats skill when skill won’t work hard.
