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

[JimEIV]

Oh look....

Nothing.

 

[Devils731]

The coaching mistake was already made, he shouldn't have been brought back.

Short leash is meaningless as he won't be fired until the wheels have already fallen off and it would take time for a new coach to fix this.

It’s like when Hynes came back after the majority thought he was likely gone.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It must be nice to get saves.

 

[Omar Little]

This team is so weak on the puck

 

[Xirik]

why do you pass into our own slot?

 

[NJDevs26]

I mean people can mock OMGZ OVERREACTION OPENER all they want, this was bad. Pretty much everything that’s been wrong with the Devils the last five years was on display tonight and frankly this organization doesn’t deserve any more patience for the same old nonsense.

 

[JimEIV]

Seigenthaler just got walked.

 

[captainscott12]

This team is so weak on the puck

have been for years...

 

[Forge]

At some point, are are just going to get insanely desperate and cost and consequence be damned, just go after a name in goal.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Saturday will say a lot. Wings play tomorrow night at home. Will be second half of a back to back for them. Need to come out guns blazing in that game.

 

[theoptimist]

Man...Blackwood does nothing to help his team out. Could have dove to stop the play, but didn't...anti-vax stuff was the line for me

 

[RangerDoggo]

I wish I had the balls to become a Rangers fan.

Fire Ruff

 

[Devils090]

This team is so weak on the puck

Easiest team to play against every year

Torts already proving what decent coach with structure can do with a bad team

 

[AfroThunder396]

Kevin Weekes points out how bad the defense has been…the response here is that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Numerous hockey commentators point out how the defense is as crappy as the goaltending. It just gets ignored and carry on pretending the goalie is the only problem.

Posters on this board point it out. Nope we are all just crazy. All we need is an average goalie.

I guess we will find out with Vanacek. But if we continue to see this team’s play in the d and neutral zone be a dumpster fire with him in net…I don’t want to hear shit about the goaltending ever again.

Wait, you’re telling me that a goaltender thinks it wasn’t the goaltenders fault? In that case

 

[BostonDevil]

This is on Fitz

 

[glenwo2]

I wish I had the balls to become a Rangers fan.

Fire Ruff

"Rangers fan" and "balls" do not go together.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

 

[Emperoreddy]

This team will look better when Ruff inevitably is fired and Blackwood finally tossed out the door, but it will be too late by then.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Man...Blackwood does nothing to help his team out. Could have dove to stop the play, but didn't...anti-vax stuff was the line for me

He took too long to get the shot and now he’s shot.

 

[Bleedred]

It’s like when Hynes came back after the majority thought he was likely gone.

I don't think the majority ever thought Hynes was gone up until maybe a few weeks before he actually was.

I don't remember many people being SHOCKED that Hynes returned for 19-20, like many of us sure were when Ruff came back for this season.

 

[RangerDoggo]

"Rangers fan" and "balls" do not go together.

Neither does “Devils fan”

yeah exactly... you see the exact same thing.. nothing has changed...hard to not overreact. you sign a new goalie who outplayed the shitty goalie in pre season and has looked pretty awful

 

[crashline]

And to think if not for the flakiest of goals allowed by Carter freaking Hart we'd be staring down the barrel of a shutout against a team with legitimate ambitions of drafting Bedard.

 

[glenwo2]

Neither does “Devils fan”

Are you suggesting we all lack balls?

 

[Devils090]

Neither does “Devils fan”

Or Devils players
