GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (13-7-2, 28 Pts) @ Washington Capitals (13-5-1, 27 Pts), 7 PM, MSGSN2

It’s great to have goalies that actually help the cause and don’t actively kill you.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We finish the season series against Washington on Saturday (this schedule is so stupid)

We love to get two more points and have a dominate record against them for once

 

[BurntToast]

3-1 plus a trip. Not a bad win..

 

[DerekDevils30]

4-1 vs the stretch of Florida x2, Tampa, Car, Wash is excellent. So much for not beating good teams

It’s phenomenal. Was some seriously doom and glooming going into it expecting 1-4 or something. We’ve got something here. Next step is to improve our 5v5 play somewhat.

 

[Killing Joke]

That third period was horrible and they sucked 5 on 5 something fierce all night. PP saved them along with Allen.

Foote is not it.

 

[Incharge1976]

Kochetkov was just destroyed. He may have a concussion.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Did not like huge chunks of that third period but overall we played a good game and is was a deserved win against a good team

 

[Hisch13r]

Solid win.

This team still reminds me of the '12 team. At least at 5v5.

I think that version was more exaggerated than this but yeah the vibes are similar. This team is better offensively than that team was and not as good defensively.

3 in a row against horrible cream of the crap loser suck teams coming up. Hopefully we take down all 3.

I'm so tired of watching the f***in Blues walk into MSG and get NUKED by the Rangers, only to come into Prudential Center reincarnated as the 2019 cup team. I'm pretty sure that has-been trash of yesteryear team lost to the Islanders tonight.

And f*** Nashville. I've been laughing my ass off at that OLD, UFA manufactured mess all season long.

''Did you see what we did? We signed a bunch of 34 year olds! We're contenders now! We even got the 2019 Conn Smythe winner the year before in free agency!''.

I wanna see a Frank Vincent and company on Joe Pesci like beatdown on them on Monday.

 

[Devs3cups]

14th in xGF% 5v5 so far, 13th 5v5 SVA.

All strengths? 3rd in the league. PP is cooking.

But overall the team is looking pretty good.

 

[dgibb10]

Let's go get a couple of bottom 6 forwards still if possible

Also if we could get an AHL all star type as a part of one of these trades I think that would be good.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Give me your jungle calls!

 

[Devs3cups]

Really liked the Tatar-Dowling-Cotter line tonight.

 

[Emperoreddy]

14th in xGF% 5v5 so far, 13th 5v5 SVA.

But overall the team is looking pretty good.

Stifling D, sizzling special teams, opportunistic 5v5 offense.

But overall the team is looking pretty good.

I think at some point they are going to have to add a middle six forward

 

[JK3]

Sweet

2012 was interesting. They had a penchant for blowing 2 goal leads which was bizarre. We haven’t had that issue so far which is a good sign.

well luckily there was a lot of non 5 v 5 time

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Thought the Tatar-Dowling-Cotter line played quite well.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Made up a good chunk of ground on Washington's Pt percentage lead

Middle of the road 5 on 5. They gotta change that.

They were the best line we had 5 on 5. And it’s not even close.

great to see Rob Saleh landed on his feet as the Caps bench boss
