GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (32-21-6, 70 Pts) @ Colorado Avalanche (33-24-2, 68 Pts), 9:30 PM, MSGSN

[Better Call Sal]

Do we have a "Goals for Jake" photoshop already on docket the way we had one for Cory?

 

[Eggtimers]

mercer for mccann is worse than any Habs fan trade proposal.

he’s not even a throw-in in that trade.

Mercer still has value. Ya not one for one for McCann but still more than just a throw in

 

[njdevils1982]

The green and red throwbacks

They showed a replay of when Maltsev scored that nasty goal against the Rags a few years ago in the green reverse retros they only wore once.

like jersey not sold on pants

 

[Drivingrain]

Hamilton has been superb defensively tonight. Has saved two goals. He gets a lot of flack but give credit where it’s due. He’s been really good since Xmas.

Quite the difference since the nudity this weekend.

I hope it doesnt start a trend.

 

[Whaddagoal]

The first 10 mins of 2nd period couldn't be any better in terms of chance generation.

Breakaway, 2v1, rush chances generated from turnovers....posts.

Nothing to show for it....

 

[longislanddevil]

I, like many of us, really liked the work Fitzgerald did in the off-season. However, the team still has gaping holes. We had an identity two years ago and he has over-corrected sacrificing speed for toughness (why can’t we have both?). At what point does Fitzgerald’s seat start getting hot?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Lol sweet

 

[Dylan9z9]

Looking like the team really blew their chance this period to tie it.

Maybe we'll break the shutout after they add another one or two.

You mean the usual?

 

[Dialamo]

AS trash as that was, the team still has 20 minutes to redeem themselves, even if the chances are low.

It's happened to us routinely (esp last year). Time to get recoup some of that BS in our favor and steal one.

 

[MB3]

Good period overall.

in literally what way

in any actual hockey market his seat was scorching hot last season when he failed to address the goaltender position nearly all season while his team floundered.

luckily for tommy boy he GMs for a team who’s lead reporter will ask him stuff like “if you were a puppy what breed would you be?” and “what’s your favorite 90s sitcom” instead of “why are you wasting the primes of Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier by playing Palat Tatar and Dowling top-9 minutes every night you stupid sack of monkey sh!t?”

Seat isn’t hot at all right now, but he’ll be nuked immediately in the nuclear scenario we miss the playoffs. The chants calling for his firing in the season finale will be even louder than Fire Lindy.

If we make the playoffs he’ll be here probably for a while.

 

[Normal Devil]

Is Jack the worst in the league on the breakaway? He's got to be up there.

 

[longislanddevil]

Just 5:48 of ice-time for Casey. I get Keefe is trying to shelter him but damn….

Would it really hurt to play Casey on the 4th line to inject some offensive ability to an otherwise dead line?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lol sweet

I'll get upset about it if he ever makes his way over here. Until then, this is Yegor Rykov 2.0.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

SHUTOUT LOSS INCOMING or SHOOTOUT LOSS INCOMING

pick your poison

At least with Rykov we got a competent NHL player

Macdermid is useless

Say what you will about the Frank the Tank-- whether we like his videos (and some do) or not...his Devils rants get attention. What would non-Devils fans who dont look at the standings and watch those rants think the Devs record is? Whatever that number might be, it's not nearly as good as the record actually is: 32-21-- perhaps soon to be 32-22.

The trend is in the wrong direction, no doubt, but 32-21 is still 32-21.

Sure, but Grabner was also terrible here and almost unanimously disliked as a result.

My point is simply that I won't put much interest in it unless he makes his way over here at some point. I honestly didn't even realize Rykov actually came over for a year but went back to Russia after COVID paused things.

Never mind his videos, I’m resentful when this board reminds me of his mere existence.

 

[Devs3cups]

That's some BS

 

[Bleedred]

Somebody needs to run Blackwood for that

Lucic on Ryan Miller style.

It would at least break his shutout cause he won’t finish the game.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Jack Hughes clearly tripped. And we’ll be going to the PK.

 

[Dialamo]

OH come on what a joke!
