Our last four losses have been by way of shut out. That's weird. Plus side is we've come out and scored at least 3 after being shut out so we'll see what happens in Detroit tomorrow.
GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (15-7-2, 32 Pts) vs. St. Louis Blues (10-12-1, 21 Pts), 7 PM, MSGSN2

ruined?
It downright humiliated him in front of his friends and family. smh.
I agree.
Allen should've started and let Markstrom enjoy the moment.

Only down 1-0....but Binnington decided to turn into f'n Hasek/Marty/Roy (that, or our offense was stinky-poo)....
We would get a similar result that we got against Blackwood.
Happy Thanksgiving to all....That egg they laid yesterday is going to happen especially with the tone set by the refs....We are in a good place and hopefully the train starts rolling again on Friday....Go Devils
Makes sense because im going to the Seattle game lmao
Sheesh if he makes a couple of saves early maybe it stays 0 - 0 and we find our legs. This game showed what happens when you don’t get goaltending at key moments. Those moments happened very early that’s all. This is several straight games he’s let in the first or second shot he’s seen.
I can’t criticize this team harshly. They’ve given consistent good efforts and the last month has been good stuff.
You get games like last night often before Thanksgiving or Xmas day. Our team was at home, kids and family on holiday, we even stage a big celebration before the puck drops with a bottle of wine (lol) being presented, we just came off of a week of big wins with the moms in the house and tomorrows the big feast . . . Let’s just say we didn’t show a lot of focus early, especially Markstrom.
Maybe it is easier to be the road team in this scenario, although I’ve seen games when road teams also look impatient to get on the flight home for the holidays.
We have a very tough weekend ahead. A tough week. Detroit will be playing to save their season and Washington to even the score against us.
The being against retreads just because they’re retreads is dumb. Henrique’s not moving because the Oilers are good. Either Hall or Palms would help the team.

I’ve always been overly fond of Palms, but even that attachment aside, he put up 30 goals last year and is on pace for another 30 goal season this year. 100% he would be of use if we were lucky enough to bring him back in somehow.

They all can't be clinics like the game vs Nashville. Take the L and wake up call and get back to winning vs Detroit.
He’s tied for 26th in 5v5 goals over the past 2 seasons and min 1000 minutes tied 40th in 5v5 G/60. Like maybe someone could think the price is too high for a rental but strictly as a player it’s asinine to think he wouldn’t be a great add

I'm shocked their most winning goalie only has 152.
They had a lot of regular season success for many years and had one of the longest or maybe the longest playoff streak in the league up until the lockout? I think that probably speaks to them just not having very long tenured goalies there.
I'm assuming it was Curtis Joseph that he passed last night.
Nope! I'm wrong! Only 96 wins as a Blue for Cujo.
Mike Liut maybe?
That's who it was!

The “when we score, we win” streak is still alive. But so is the “this team is incapable of winning more than three games in a row” streak. So it evens out. I had a totally legitimate stream playing on my Steam Deck, went to do some stuff in the kitchen, and moved my cat resting on it just in time to see the second goal. Didn’t need to see more than that.

Sure it's professional hockey. You don't like it? Go take the puck away. It might not be exciting, but they won the game, within the rules, and that's the point.

Yes, "within the rules" which is MY point when I said I wished there was a penalty for "lack of action or aggressiveness" but there isn't.
And it's NOT hockey.
At least it's not FUN hockey anyway.
I mean who, besides the team's fans, would enjoy watching a team just stay in the defensive end...defending and not doing anything else?
Correct me if I 'm wrong but I imagine not even the Devils of the Trap-Era did this.

At what cost though? Seems we get all geeked up in here for anyone who's put on the uniform before.
Want to bring in Hall with 4M retained and ship out Tatar, who was another retread we didn't need (to all of you enamored by his underlying numbers, we can pick him up again for a buck in the off-season and try one more time if you want), I'd be willing to give it a shot but not at the expense of any asset.
Still not sure we could fit him in at his number with 4M retained.
