GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (30-19-6, 66 Pts, 3rd Met, W1, 4-4-2 in Last 10) vs. Vegas Golden Knights (31-17-6, 68 Pts, 2nd Pac, L2, 2-5-3 in Last 10)

My point does make sense.

You don't trade a first for an aging goaltender JUST to make the playoffs. You trade a first to be a contender. And this team isn't a contender by any means.

Fitz hasn't done jack shit to help the team considering the issues have been consistent all season long.

Were you saying they werent a contender on new years? Why would now be any different in the middle of the season? how about we wait to see what the team looks like going into the playoffs and what moves are made at the deadline?

brother they have absolutely no cap space. They arent going to make a move just to make a move. What moves should they have made that happened so far? Let me guess, trade more futures for 32 year old JT Miller. "JUST GET IT DONE!"

 

[JimEIV]

You build a team with 4 players making 8 million each and want to talk about depth, goaltending, bottom 6 when you can't score a single freaking goal for 30 minutes every game?

I don't know boys...at some point you gotta look at the top.

 

[NJDevils17]

I think Fitz’s worst quality is how long he takes to make a move.

 

[Andre Palot]

I haven’t watched every game, but that’s the worst I’ve seen them play this year. Can’t get Hischier and Siegs back soon enough.

If you did you would be on a first name basis with your liquor store clerk.

 

[Bleedred]

Haula and Dillon, both bad and washed up players signed for next year at multiple millions of dollars.

Dougie and Palat both colossally overpaid players signed for 3 and 2 more years. Too bad 3 of these players will probably be here next year. Haula is my guess for the one who's gone.

 

[Whaddagoal]

A PP call, at a useless game moment. Yay

 

[Emperoreddy]

You guys weren't getting the Goal Tenders. The regular tenders suck, but the big ones are good

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

In fairness, the GDT is really the time to exercise those demons when the team is playing bad. That's what i like to do. I let all my shots from the hip go in the GDT and then try to maintain a semblance of reason and balance in the team discussion thread.

But in here, I just like to let it fly.

Yeah but the Spaulding shot was random as f*** and would only happen in a game like this, lol.

If there's one game where the doom posting is acceptable it's gotta be this one.

You can argue we've played worse in this recent stretch, but after what we've been subjected to for 6 weeks, this has gotta be a breaking point, if the breaking point hadn't already come.

I mean, not really lol, did you expect them to win this game tonight v what was happening coming into the game? Vegas on a L4 v this Devils team was always gonna be a loss. They're a special type of ass tonight but tonight wasn't the norm. They're all checked out for the break which is whatever and even scarier since they have the MTL game on Saturday

 

[NjDevsRR]

Not sure Markstrom will be back? Has there been an update on him I've missed?

No clue. But Nico back will be huge

Nico + Jack is this team

 

[DerekDevils30]

I haven’t watched every game, but that’s the worst I’ve seen them play this year. Can’t get Hischier and Siegs back soon enough.

Keefe sounded optimistic about Nico returning after the break. Siegs unfortunately may be awhile longer pending results

 

[Killing Joke]

We have a greater chance of being blasted by that bennu asteroid than Tom making a trade before the TDL.

Who is responsible for our cap?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Why isn't it there from the start of the game tbh.

I thought it was a Lindy issue, it's a core/team issue lol

 

[Devs3cups]

Yay Palat!

 

[IDEKWTM]

I think Fitz’s worst quality is how long he takes to make a move.

Last year he waited way too long to fire Lindy. And he went bezerk... and now this team has been struggling for over a month.

 

[devilsblood]

That's a soft one.

 

[JK3]

Yes my garbage time goal!!!

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Who is responsible for our cap?

the GM of course? WHo said otherwise?

My point is lets see what the team looks like in April heading into the playoffs. That is still 2.5 months away.

 

[devilsblood]

Yay Palat!

A minute or so ahead of me.

 

[njdevils1982]

oh! a PP

 

[The Wumpus]

ANDY PLOT

 

[Emperoreddy]

Well I got to see a goal

 

[Whaddagoal]

Gol

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Adin Hill is f***ing terrible lmao.

If they put 30 shots on him, this is a 5-3 Devils win

 

[Bleedred]

I refuse to champion that goal with my usual emoji

So you’ll get this instead
