[NJersey]

Did that puck not even deflect off anything

 

[Bramskii]

Everyone on that shift looked like a ***ing amateur out there.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Not even screened or tipped.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Vegas is a team of actors now.

 

[JK3]

Allen was amazing in the first and on the PK but holy shit that puck went straight through, no tip.

 

[Devs3cups]

Truth of the matter is that with Nico out, the only line that's worth anything is the Jack line. This team needs serious help.

 

[Emperoreddy]

No show

 

[britdevil]

Nemec is going to get a lot of shit, rightly so, but Luke Hughes has been f***ing awful tonight.

 

[Barry Tallackson]

Nemec having a rough game

 

[njdevils1982]

what the hell?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Well, that's that.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Keefe has changed up the d pairings

Nemec is going to get a lot of shit, rightly so, but Luke Hughes has been f***ing awful tonight.

Luke Hughes has been putting up stinkers a lot recently.

 

[BostonDevil]

Jack, Bratt and some guys skating around

 

[HersheyBob27]

The size and reach of vegas is too much for us. They are toying with us

 

[NJersey]

GM doing nothing about scoring while division teams getting better

 

[Comparison Ford]

this sucks, we really needed Meier-Haula-Mercer to step up and they cant make a complete pass

 

[palek1019]

Tough game for Nemec. Pretty obvious he's overthinking. But still time to turn it around and end on a positive note.

Great to see PK doing well without Siegs.Though that's about the only positive of the game so far.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Would be nice if Devils actually got a PP.

 

[longislanddevil]

Completely listless performance. Simply unacceptable.

 

[Lou is God]

Truth of the matter is that with Nico out, the only line that's worth anything is the Jack line. This team needs serious help.

Our 4th line is so slow and dull. Our 3rd line, not much better.

 

[Bcap88]

Players who aren’t nhl caliber
Dowling
Tatar
Bastian
Lazar

That’s 90 percent of the bottom 6

 

[Bleedred]

This team needs more offensive options. Just nothing doing

That's on the GM.

He wanted to overload on D and it left the forwards shorthanded. He overcorrected both years after the big season IMO.

He needs to take bug spray to this entire bottom 6 after this year. I want them ALL GONE, entire facelift. Clean sweep.

Even though I don't dislike some of them, I don't see how you can come into 2025-2026 with any of Bastian, Tatar (he's not been bad for what he is, but he's toast), Haula (toast also, we can sign someone better, especially if we make him disappear), I don't even think I wanna see Lazar either. Most of them are UFA and Haula needs to be UFA after his buyout if he can't be dumped. Unless he's perma-LTIR bound.

We definitely need more forward talent.

Dillon for 2 more years at $4 million is also painful. I'd rather have Kovacevic for 2 years @ 4 million per after this season than Dillon. And I don't really even think I'd be comfortable with giving Kovacevic nearly that much, but Dillon is another piece of burnt toast.

 

[forceten]

We aren’t in Vegas’s league. It’s been all Vegas all game.
