GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (23-17-3, 49 Pts) vs. Dallas Stars (26-13-5, 57 Pts), 7 PM, MSGSN - Honoring Sarge

[Richer's Ghost]

Wedgewood made 3-4 very strong saves tonight.

He made that many strong saves against the first PP tonight. He played out of his mind on a few of those rebound saves.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Who cares? They aren't winning a cup with Ruff, we're just delaying the inevitable. And Jack needs to actually learn how to play without the turnovers which he never will under Ruff. I don't want him to be completely neutered but he's been complete ass this year with them.

It's better for the development of the players. You can fire Ruff tonight and still make the playoffs.

 

[jkrdevil]

We’ll probably be NHL 500 by the time he gets back.

Unless you think he’s possibly coming back this week.

They keep naming him to All Star stuff and we only have a week of games before then.

Him, Quinn and Buble as captains is random.

 

[MadDevil]

Funny we can't beat Scott Wedgewood yet when he was here everyone beat him ...

Hey, we lowered his career save percentage against us from .984 to .968.

 

[Emperoreddy]

also sick of the 2nd of our back to back is against a team that didn't play the day before. It's a scheduling setup to keep doing that. Both teams should be playing a B2B if they're scheduled.

I'm also sick of B2Bs with travel in-between. But it's still on Ruff for not load managing better. Schedule wasn't a secret

I care because we’ve done enough losing over the last decade and I want to watch some meaningful games. I’ve accepted that it probably isn’t our year, but it would be a catastrophe to fall out of it and not even play important games in the final months of the season.

 

[Bleedred]

And? It's the Caps, Isles, and Wings.

I just think the odds of us getting above 500 that late in the season are low.

But we’re still about 5 games over it right now. I could see us losing out through the break. Especially since you know it’s back to Vitek now.

But we also score more goals for him than the non-Vitek goalies for some reason.

[Killing Joke]

Way too early for that. Fitz is a good GM.

A good gm doesn’t keep a shit coach around this long or a shit goalie up in the nhl like he has with ruff and Vitek. He’s tanking the season being a moron.

In that case, you would completely understand that losing would lead to a bright future like it did with the draft picks. It shouldn't have even gotten to this point nor I do blame you for wanting to win but I've made my peace with this season and would be ok with the latter result that you mentioned with how egregious Ruff has been this year and his entire tenure here

Were we not paying attention before this season or is this some new shit? Are other teams also subject to this?

Seems odd to put the home team at such a disadvantage.

 

[HoliksGhost]

ooofffff Ruff

 

[Devs3cups]

The standings are still so tight. They're somehow still in this.

They should be better though. They need a boost.

 

[NjDevsRR]

ooofffff Ruff

What he saying, im heading home

 

[HersheyBob27]

Everyone is a critic. What should ruff have done better. He kept the mildly better goalie for tonight. We didn’t look tired our defence is shit. Gm is equally to blame for this mess. Firing the coach would be a dick move

 

[Bleedred]

ooofffff Ruff

What happened? I’m anxiously awaiting the results of the press conference? I keep refreshing this GDT just to see it.

For some reason ESPN+ cuts out our post game, but not the Sharks for some reason.

Wild, Jack back and you never know. Im changing my avatar for luck

 

[njdevils1982]

lindy wanted to "win the rest of the game".....

 

[Dylan9z9]

Just move on we played a good game and had a lot of opportunities.... lol get f***ing lost prune face

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

He's such a loser coach lmao

 

[NjDevsRR]

lindy wanted to "win the rest of the game".....

Me too lmao im the coach now

Yes, it's Fitz's fault that this coaching staff are a bunch of morons and allow a vet like Toffoli for being dog water and benching Holtz after scoring goals

 

[guitarguyvic]

I miss the days when this team knew how to play systematically and as a unit, and we could rely on them win a lot of games, especially at home, and to make the playoffs routinely even if the top end talent wasn’t quite what other teams had.

It’s gross to have natural talent but not win.

This totally f***ery of scheduling has hurt more than I'd thought.
