GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (20-4-1) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (7-13-4), 7 PM, MSG

[Bleedred]

I don't understand something.

Why the f*** did they go out and trade for Seth Jones, sign him to this big extension and then a few months later said ''Yeah, well f*** it! Let's rebuild!''?

I mean, they should have been rebuilding, that's not the issue, but what made them wake up and smell the coffee?

Or were they just gonna keep on ''Trying to compete'' until Bowman stepped down because of the scandal and then the direction and philosophy suddenly changed?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Dougie got super lucky there.

 

[njdevils1982]

eat it.

 

[RNCDevil]

BTW, McLeod had a reception, to a pivot to a rush up the left wing that was pretty sick. If that dude had a brain and a shot...

I think they thought they were going to be good and that the bottom wasn't going to fall out from under them.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Oh Miles, you doof.

Think it just boils down to GM change.

 

[Cheddabombs]

2-1 shots so far this period? Those boring Devils back at it again with the trap, killing hockey is what it is

Holtz trying to score a Mike Bossy goal with a slapper from the blue line. That shit hasn't worked since before he was born.

Ken Daneyko thinks a line with 90% expected goal share has "had its moments"

 

[Rhodes 81]

I'm usually an even tempered, friendly, believer in understanding and non-violence.

I want to punch that f***er and his no sweat first bet in the god damn face.

Bowman had a different direction in his mind and was going to milk the core of Kane and toews into the ground. Bowman got fired and new management decided to rebuild

 

[FinnishDevil]

That was Patrick Kane spin o rama there by #86.

 

[Bleedred]

We almost do look like we're playing a trap this period, actually.

 

[Dylan9z9]

lol @ Haula trying to score

 

[theoptimist]

This is sooo bad for Kane lol I feel bad

 

[Hisch13r]

lol Jack is too good. Man just cancelled a spin move half way through and sent a cross ice pass

This is sooo bad for Kane lol I feel bad

Nah f*** Kane. Dude is a massive piece of shit.

 

[Blender]

Hughes being insane but of course it goes to Haula.

Stan Bowman is a moron, that's all you need to know.

 

[My3Sons]

It wouldn’t be a bad idea for NJ to get one more just in case CHI gets a fluky bounce

 

[MauDevils]

For a good shooter, Holtz is shooting some weak stuff.

the ol' gio slapshot crossing the blue line right side

 

[RNCDevil]

Hughes makes every shift must-see-tv. I just want to get Quinn, too so we can see Jack with full bonuses.

It definitely felt like he was just Lou'ing it at the end.

And Jones was like his Cory Schneider trade.

Only Jones is NOT as good as Cory Schneider was for the first several years we had him.

This is why Sal needs to take over as the color commentator sooner rather than later. You know he'd come spitting knowledge.
