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

[Guadana]

I liked Zetterlund more than some roster players today. I liked Bahl more than Smith, I liked Vanecek more than Blackwood.


I think Ruff should use all three players next games.

 

[Eggtimer]

Yes Blackwood has been shit.
But…We have had zero dangerous chances really and have generated Jack shit on offence and once again w Emma ke the same defensive lapses that we have made for the past 5 years….

 

[NJDevs26]

why don't you like that goal ferraro? f*** off

It really was shit though, Blackwood would be eviscerated for that and rightly so

 

[Devils090]

LOL two shit goals from Hart are the only reason it’s still a game sort of

Blackwood has 2 shit goals as well, maybe 3

 

[Cheddabombs]

Oh baby let's go, we're about to out-corsi the shit out of them the rest of this game

 

[Devils731]

Btw, another goal from a guy who had time and space.

The xG probably doesn’t love a goal from that angle but the time and space really ups the danger.

 

[Bleedred]

Good.

Hope Ryan pries Ruff for info on why he went with FLACCID WOOD tonight.

Knowing stupid ass Ruff he'll probably not even get it.

''Flaccid Wood? What? I can take a viagra if I have that''.

CLOWN.

 

[JimEIV]

King Damon!

Getch yo contact Damon

 

[Hisch13r]

Crazy thought I know but maybe you should play your elite winger 20ish minutes a night. That might be conducive to success

 

[Devilsfan992]

Bratt got the only assist in the game for the Devils.

Hughes did...what, exactly? Dangle through 3 Flyers and get the puck stolen?

Bratt just got elevated to good status after that assist. Other than the first assist, he had been kind of quiet. Not entirely his fault, his coach wasn't playing him.

Hughes basically drove every other high danger chance.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Yay Sevs! Finds a seam!

 

[Devils090]

Oh baby let's go, we're about to out-corsi the shit out of them the rest of this game

Analytic darlings who fool everyone into thinking we’re so close to being a contender

 

[Better Call Sal]

Atta boy Sevy

 

[NJDevs26]

Crazy thought I know but maybe you should play your elite winger 20ish minutes a night. That might be conducive to success

Especially when you’re behind from early in the second period on

 

[Nocashstyle]

Really doesn’t seem to even matter who is on this team. It just feels the same as any other random game from the past several years.

Blackwood is awful and probably at best a below average NHL backup, but this is on Ruff. Constantly no structure. The team shows up to play only 35% of the time.

I still support Fitz and understand his vision…but if this type of play lasts for longer than 10 games and Ruff is still behind the bench, especially with Brunnette waiting in the shadows, Fitz has lost my support too.

Yeah, one game. But this feels like very much the same. Something needs to change.

 

[TrufleShufle]

Someone tell this guy to pick a side.

 

[njdevils1982]

The good news is they can only lose one game tonight. Just pretend they battled hard and Blackwood played great and they lost with 5 seconds left on a fluky goal that took a bad bounce. The standings look the same either way.

denial is not just a river in africa

 

[MauDevils]

Jack Hughes with the sweet puck flip giveaway.

 

[glenwo2]

He's created several good looks. Shots consistently missed the net.

Bratt had the same problem.

There were several nifty passes that could've made awesome highlights if they were converted.

At least Sevs converted this one.

 

[Blender]

Our leading scorer last year should maybe lead or close to lead the forwards in ice time. Just a thought.

 

[BostonDevil]

I like that the ESPN crew is already talking about them selling at the deadline

 

[Cheddabombs]

Play Hughes with Holtz

 

[Bone Density]

"Siegenthaler is a good shooter. Number 17"

 

[Emperoreddy]

Blackwood has 2 shit goals as well, maybe 3

3 shit goals. I would say 4, but I think you can cut him a break on the 3rd goal

 

[None Shall Pass]

Bratt so clooooose
