GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (21-7-2) vs. Florida Panthers (14-13-4), 7:30 PM, MSG

[JK3]

And here I thought I wasn't going to have to do a Grinch GDT this year.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Maybe since we couldn't have a 14 game win streak we can have a 14 game losing streak instead.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Dougie causing two failed breakouts that both ended up in our net killing the momentum we had. Just brutal.

 

[Devs3cups]

Schmid really shitting the bed right when he could’ve closed the lid on Blackwood.

1 stoppable goal on all 3. It is what it is. He's a rookie and he's done a tremendous job with us.

 

[Comparison Ford]

this team doesn’t have it right now

 

[NJDevs26]

Nico's stick was slashed 10 feet in the air. WTF were the refs looking at?

I’m telling you they’re letting the Panthers get frontier justice

 

[Blender]

Nico's stick was slashed 10 feet in the air. WTF were the refs looking at?

They seem to be "game managing" to let anything go on Nico because Barkov left injured. Watch Nico get a weak penalty in the 3rd period next.

 

[billingtons ghost]

We shouldn't be panicking too much, but we should be concerned.

I'd say this abysmal game was a little worse than getting goalie'd like the last time.

We didn't *really* get goalied last game. Hart was good but the only guys that are getting in position for a decent shot is McLeod and Haula and guys like that who can't score. Our premier guys are getting few looks and not really any terrific ones.

We're the Devils.... The Devils....

 

[MartyOwns]

What gives you any hope of this? They didn’t do jack shit all second period when Nico was getting speared and slashed while they were on us like banshees after that stupid face off

sorry for…having hope? my b

 

[Captain3rdLine]

The reason he's throwing it up the walls is that our forwards have been absolutely terrible at being available for a pass, and controlling one when they get there. I'm not making exccuses for him - he hasn't been good - but really no one has.

He’s throwing it into guys feet or blindly to the other team because the forwards are struggling to take passes. Not only is that not true it makes no sense whatsoever. He’s just rimming pucks and throwing them up the boards.

Just did the same thing leading to another goal.

 

[Oneiro]

1 stoppable goal on all 3. It is what it is. He's a rookie and he's done a tremendous job with us.

Yeah not really his fault on two of them but more that it creates the window to bring back Blackwood.

 

[Cheddabombs]

 

[Devils090]

Same as it ever was

 

[TheUnseenHand]

This blows man. Playing this way it might be at least 6 games before we face a team we can compete with.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Its embarassing to get bullied by florida panthers who win one playoff series every 10 years in their existence. This is not some big bad bruins team of the years past who is physically dominant, this is Florida who is never gonna go anywhere and were getting bullied. Not talking about the score even, thats whatever. We've had chances that didnt go in, but we dont have an answer for Panthers playing dirty. Show some heart and stand up for yourself and the logo on the chest.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Schmid really shitting the bed right when he could’ve closed the lid on Blackwood.

You really think he's to blame for a tip almost 5 feet off the ice from 10 feet away? I guess telekinesis is his shortcoming for not force waving it away.

 

[NjDevsRR]

If I’m Fitz. I’m shopping for a veteran forward who can help the PP.

Truth

Something about an 18 wheeler going off a cliff

 

[BostonDevil]

After last game I was told there was no reason to be concerned.

If Nico gets hurt this game, Lindy should relieve the bench of every water bottle, tablet and stick he can get his hands on

Go Schoenfeld on them

Nobody on the ice looks like they are going to do anything about it

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Schmid really shitting the bed right when he could’ve closed the lid on Blackwood.

Yep. He’s been terrible today

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Cool that it's open season on abusing Nico, even slashing his stick out of his hands. f*** this league.

It's Chris Lee.

 

[MauDevils]

this team doesn’t have it right now

"Right now" has been about 8 games.

 

[MadDevil]

There's part of me that hopes Nico just goes full Zajac and unexpectedly beats somebody's ass.
