GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (15-7-2, 32 Pts) vs. St. Louis Blues (10-12-1, 21 Pts), 7 PM, MSGSN2

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.

This loss probably ruined the day for Marky.

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.

 

[glenwo2]

That second goal on Markstrom was not at all good.

He should have caught that one. He looks behind him after it’s in the net and the body language definitely looked like he was surprised it went in and that he didn’t glove that one.

If he makes that save then we get a whistle and kill the bullshit penalty and are only down 1-0.

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

 

[NjDevsRR]

Listened to the end on the radio. Seems like this was a scheduled loss. We're feast or famine recently.

Win the next 3 and I'll pencil in a shutout loss to Seattle.

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.

No thanks on Hall, Palmieri, Henrique or whatever retread

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.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

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

 

[Bleedred]

Detroit is a very badly coached/badly built and GM'd team, and just really bad all around.

We really should be winning that, especially after Markstrom TANKED us the last game we played them.

Binnington set a club record with his 152nd win last night. Seems impossible.
