Wait, what? I know we’re upset about the team, but why is Bill Spaulding catching strays now?

Sometimes the dude comes off as goofy and over earnest, but he’s mostly fine. I can’t imagine having a strong opinion about him.

Probably a good indicator on why +/- sucks since they had no real involvement on either goal.

and who is laying anything on Allen? They all sucekd tonight.

Giving up 2 bad goals doesnt mean I think he is the reason they are playing like shit. But this "GREAT ALLEN PERFORMANCE" is nonsense.

Allen's played well. First goal against wasn't bad. Agree the 2nd wasn't good. But he's made more then enough saves to offset the weak goal.

Meanwhile we have single digit sog's.

Looks like Allen's save % is well in the 90's.

It is absolutely frustrating. I will be pissed off in March if this continues. Until then, all I wanted was 50/50 hockey in the last few weeks to the deadline and they gave it to me. Its up to the boys in the club to get regrouped once Nico is back.


Some folks ask me why I am never “mad”. I do get mad, but this is my 15th season as a season ticket holder. My 26th year watching this team. I have seen it all. I have seem great teams turn into pumpkins quickly and vice versa. I have seen both happening in the same season many many times.

We have the pieces in place to rebound in March. We need our top 2 centers healthy. We need Markstrom back. We also need one or two forward upgrades by Fitz.

As long they have a playoff cushion, my wrath is held back. But the Danometer is still at a 5.5. They are walking a fine line.

I'm holding back my anger for when we get the invoice for next season that has a 10% increase. Shit should be illegal to be allowed to send out before the next season especially if this team somehow misses the playoffs or gets knocked out in the 1st round.

9 shots through 2 periods. Are you kidding me?

 

[devilsblood]

2 goals allowed on 2.45 xG

HANG THE BANNER

speaking of crappy stats;

 

[Devs3cups]

24.75 xGF% all strengths. lmfao

This game was beyond over once Jack started a breakout and Tatar missed the pass which led to a Vegas powerplay because Bastian twirled Theadore like a ballerina partner. They're mentally fried till the break.

 

[New Jerseys Devil]

Boooo!!!!

 

[DerekDevils30]

It’s definitely a lack of effort/fight tonight. They had a nice little spurt early in the 2nd but mailed it in after Vegas scored right after

 

[Devs3cups]

Wait, what? Why is Bill Spaulding catching strays now?

That also caught me off guard. I really like him.

 

[devilsblood]

What does that have to do with what was being discussed? Did I say anywhere they were having a strong game tonight?

Just seems weird to be ripping on the 4th line in this game.

 

[Bleedred]

Shots are 25-9. Hard to blame Allen in a game like this

I didn’t like the first goal, but Humpty Hill is coasting to the easiest shutout of his career.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

2 goals allowed on 2.45 xG

So he's literally made up for the bad goals he's given up and then some, lol nice one man

Those aren't bagels Panera. Just round bread.

Is that really his name?

Bill is great, don't know why anyone has an issue with him.

Devils get a quick goal here, game is up for grabs,

Was the second goal bad? I only thought the first one was.

I thought the second goal was a clear tip from fairly close?

I'm cool with him

Does Nemec get a regular shift in the 3rd?

He's not bad, he's just not Doc.

I have never had to do this before, what kind of belt are you wearing? A metal bullet belt? Lol

they made me remove my cap going through one at a marlies/comets game a few seasons ago

Baby steps. I'm just shooting for 3 shots on goal in 10 minutes
