GDT: Willy Wonka and the hockey game, Oilers @ Devils 7:30

[Mirka the Turka]

I would be surprised if we make the playoffs

Genuinely surprised.

 

[NJDevils17]

I’m not an NHL GM but how do you realistically keep Ruff around?

 

[Omar Little]

That goal is not on Vitek whatsoever

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Won't happen

It'll happen, just way too late to make a difference. If Fitz wants to make the playoffs, he needs to pull the trigger now.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

 

[Bleedred]

VV out of position again.

Start Daws Saturday

I honestly would have an erection if I never saw Vitek play another game here again.

Not even because of tonight, but it's not getting any better here and it could still get much worse. He needs to go somewhere else. A divorce is badly needed.

 

[Shagrat59]

I f***ing hate being a fan of this team

 

[Unknown Caller]

That goal is not on Vitek whatsoever

That’s partially on him. He left half of the net wide open.

 

[GeNeXt]

The zamboni door gap in that corner looks so bad... like as bad as some of the amateur rinks I play at...

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I no longer really care if they make the playoffs or not. Developmental year. If they make it, that’s nice.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Jesus man lol. This is one that everyone has to wear on their face.

McLeod gets a pass from me tonight, might be the only one.

 

[VoidCreature]

They just let Ryan f***ing McLeod walk through the whole offensive zone untouched, with Marino on his knees waving his stick at the blue line.

What the f*** are they doing? No cohesion, no discipline. Ruff has lost the room. Enough is enough.

 

[crashline]

I mean by all means go find a competent goaltender but there's so, so much more that ails this team right now.

Fitz better be pulling all-nighters on this shit, post-haste.

 

[NjDevsRR]

That goal is not on Vitek whatsoever

No, what he made is a whole lot easier

 

[njdevils1982]

if rudolph showed up at my front door right now i would cauterize his f***ing red goal light nose with a cigarette lighter from an oldmobile from the 70s

and then slap the peta people standing behind him with a stolen stop sign

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I think i'm ready to talk myself into Devils should acquire John Gibson bandwagon

 

[Devs3cups]

Refer to the avatar.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

i have to say, if we don’t make a move for a goalie / defenseman / new coach this week, i think that’s Fitz and Co’s white flag on the season.

He needs to do something.

Some have said firing Ruff midseason doesn't do much, but I disagree so much. Even if we can't get a good coach, just get someone temporary for now. Keeping Ruff, it signals that Fitz is fine with him...major red flag.

 

[Nemec]

Still plenty of time for Edmonton to score 10 goals. Would happily take it if it means VV and Ruff are gone.

 

[Alex NJD]

??????

 

[Bleedred]

I mean he needs that 5th goal, don't get me wrong. But you just conceded 2 goals and then you let a guy cut across your net with next to no resistance. Maybe call a timeout after the f***ing Draisailt goal??? This team is f***ed beyond belief

It's going nowhere with Ruff.

If Ruff coaches here too much longer we're getting into Terry Silver needed to continuously pay back John Kreese for saving him in Vietnam territory.

How many years do we have to pay Ruff back for last year?

 

[JrFischer54]

No one has ever used that as an argument against Gibson, he's obviously an upgrade but you can't make that move without knowing his body won't give up on him + that contract is a poison pill if he sucks

One thing for sure Gibson is absolutely better than these two clowns. If the contract ages poorly I dunno but is there going to be any better options in the summer? Or are we going to trade/sign another version of Vitek?

 

[jkrdevil]

I wonder that the difference is this year?

We are not getting as many shots 5v5 this year and are giving up more.

 

[VoidCreature]

Vanecek is shit and the defense has lost the plot. If Fitz doesn’t make changes he’s a coward.

 

[Saugus]

At this point I have zero confidence in Ruff.

I don’t say this lightly, but I’d rather have the HF hive mind coaching the Devils right now. It’s gotten that bad.
