GDT: You'll Shoot Yer Eye Out, Kid! Sabres @ Devils, 7 PM, MSG+

[Cult of Hynes]

Worse thing to happen to this team was Zajac not being hurt the entire season and coming back early. Now we have to suffer through his killing of all and any offensive chances in every situation he is used in.

 

[Emperoreddy]

On the positive side, 50 points before January!!

Still only 9 regulation loses which is insane.

 

[glenwo2]

I hope you will all be comforted tomorrow when the league issues an apology for overturning the goal

The day the league apologizes is the day I win the Powerball jackpot.

 

[NJDevs26]

Something has to be done about the 2C. If we’re going far Zajac isn’t it. No more excuses. Palms HAS to wake up too.

Maybe if Palms didn’t have 19 sucking the life out of him (sigh)

 

[devilsblood]

Can't believe they actually found CONCLUSIVE evidence of offsides there..... smh.

I thought it was pretty clear.

Still don't like that off sides can be reviewed though.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

I truly and sincerely hope you two don't actually believe what you're saying.

This board is a coke-addled parody of itself after a loss.

but they are right. that offsides was inconclusive. there is just no way you can say for a fact that its no goal. yet they are taping something and controversy sells. in the end who cares. devils still looked decent tonight. 11 out of 12 points on a home stand is pretty, pretty, pretty good. larry david said so.

 

[None Shall Pass]

you didnt watch the game huh?

I did. There's no conspiracy, we just played like ass. Sometimes losses happen. It's called sports. You should Google it.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Don't think for a second Shero will stand pat with guys like Zajac and Greene if they keep regressing. He's proactive.

Zajac had multiples instances where he just couldn't make a play in the second he had the puck. He is playing with zero confidence and just can't keep up with the pace of play.

Tomorrow night is BIG. They left Eichel open on a few occasions and will be burned if they do that with OV tomorrow.

Oh, and f*** you officials. Gotta have the Sabres look good heading into the Winter Classic. What a f***ing joke. That never crossed my mind until I saw others post it

 

[Cheddabombs]

I'm still furious about that offside call. If that was just a floating puck then yeah, I'd get it. But Hall literally tipped it to himself intentionally, that was his f***ing puck and his f***ing toe was "offside" if anything. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Bcap88]

well at least most of the metro teams are losing currently. Need a solid out of Det

 

[Bleedred]

No one on the staff seems to care/notice is the problem.

Not only tempering his usage, but stuffing him on the first pp unit is unexplainable.

And of course the other unit looks a WHOLE lot better without his presence!

 

[glenwo2]

It is a gimmick. 3 on 3 isn’t real hockey. It is fun but it isn’t hockey.

Still have no issue with it.

The shootout, though......

 

[Call Me Al]

team is on a 6-0-2 run, is in first place with 2 games in hand on the chasing teams. some of you need to calm the f down

team has played some terrible games but they always bounce back and hopefully it’s a wake up call to play better and harder tomorrow.

but for the love of god put zajac back with coleman and gibbons

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Devils didn’t play their best game, no doubt, but I just can’t get over the stupidity of this league. I honestly could care less about the “loss”. The league is just a gong show. That’s what’s most frustrating.

 

[Blender]

I defended Zajac a lot when he first came back because he was hurt for a long time, missed offseason training, and missed training camp. The buffer for him to turn it around has long since past though, and he's been f***ing putrid. If it were just his offensive play that were bad, we could swallow it, but he's been mediocre to bad defensively a lot of nights as well. He needs to sit for a few games at this point.

 

[njdevils1982]

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A TOP PAIRING DEFENSEMEN YOU IDIOTS.

njdevils1982 dislikes this

 

[Emperoreddy]

But he blocked a shot and kept OT going for another minute or two longer! Give him credit!

But he did legit save a goal.

Then Lehner covers the puck down the other way. Everyone thinks the play is dead and yet the refs somehow don’t blow it dead and Buffalo regains possession

 

[MauDevils]

I mean they showed a bunch that were definitive if you don’t think he had possession of the puck. I think it was reasonable to say he didn’t have control...I think it would also have been reasonable to say he was in control of the puck could too.

He tipped it in. So for them to overturn it they needed a shot that showed the puck outside the zone and his foot off the ice.

The shot I saw had his leg blocking vision of the puck.

 

[VaxjoDevil]

Zajac or no Zajac, we got completely outplayed in basically every shift in OT.

 

[johnny pierogi]

It's called sports. You should Google it.

Lol

 

[glenwo2]

How can anyone like 3v3 overtime

Is that subtle shot at me?

I like it because I like it. What's your problem?

 

[Bleedred]

Worse thing to happen to this team was Zajac not being hurt the entire season and coming back early. Now we have to suffer through his killing of all and any offensive chances in every situation he is used in.

It's 20 games in, time to take a look around.

He's been abysmal, this is on par with like Hedberg's goaltending in his last season when Marty was injured. We're beyond just a ''Down season'' at this point.

 

[devilsblood]

How can anyone like 3v3 overtime

I like it. I'd prefer it if it, nor the shootout were worth the same as a row but, still 3v3 is fun to watch.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Devils didn’t play their best game, no doubt, but I just can’t get over the stupidity of this league. I honestly could care less about the “loss”. The league is just a gong show. That’s what’s most frustrating.

It wasn’t their best but it was more than enough to win.

We absolutely got jobbed tonight by the refs. We shouldn’t need to score 6 goals to make up for the refs.

 

[Bankers Box]

Tough losing to such an awful team such as Buffalo.

Oh well, on the next game!

 

[NJDevs26]

Can't believe they actually found CONCLUSIVE evidence of offsides there..... smh.

It’s like the NFL where ‘conclusive evidence’ doesn’t matter anymore
