GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (37-15-5) vs. Los Angeles Kings (32-19-7), 7 PM, MSGSN

[Bleedred]

At least we won't have to see unit 2 for much of this power play with the carryover

 

[The Devil In I]

It's Albelin

Rheaume wasn't on the 2000 or 1995 team.

Thought they were being tricky and the answer was Maclean as an assistant in 03, but yea Albelin

 

[Patrik26]

Poor Zetterlund got stuck on the TURD line.

He'll be benched next game for lack of production as a result.

More like the FURT line, am I right?

(Nobody here will get that reference.)

 

[Dylan9z9]

Well we won that period

 

[Bcap88]

All these turnovers still can’t get holtz ice time

Let's go to a live look in at Lindy during the 2nd intermission:

thankful for these gordon ramsay gifs

 

[TF1970]

So pissed off at this f***.

And if they do, learning experiences.

They should, and could, be learning it now.

This coach sucks though so I don’t think that’s happening.

I could accept it if they were a bubble team but they’ve shown they are talented enough to be at the top mid the division so a first round exit would be really disappointing.

 

[Devs3cups]

After 1:

CF%: 70.27%
SCF%: 68.42%
HDCF%: 60%
xGF%: 66%
xGF: 1.46
xGA: 0.75
Shots: 9-7 LA

Shades of Tuesday.

I think Siegenthaler makes good decisions when he has the pick in the offensive zone. If he doesn’t have the puck, he makes very bad decisions in the offensive zone.

He is not fast enough to pinch and win races. All his pinches do is cause Hamilton to be the lay defender back, which is the last place you want Hamilton.

Didn't he play a good game last game ?

Me when I see Wood on the PP to start the 2nd period:

Meh, they need to learn playoff hockey. I wouldn't be pissed off by a 1st round exit. It's part of the process. I do think they have the talent to go further than that though.

First period summary:

Loved that the only like was from @Blender

 

[Dialamo]

Didn't he play a good game last game ?

Yes but he was trying to apply Ruff logic to his post.

 

[theoptimist]

Poor Zetterlund got stuck on the TURD line.

Miles Wood is the worst player on this team

 

[NJDevs26]

Guess things are going well

 

[Blender]

Miles Wood is the worst player on this team

100%

 

[Cheddabombs]

Me when I see Wood on the PP to start the 2nd period:

I found the compliment to that one

 

[Dialamo]

2 rough games so far, but at least they are meaningful games. I'll take this all day over last year.

 

[Devs3cups]

Miles Wood is the worst player on this team

Right now it's not even close

Yeah. Our system is so damn aggressive and requires the D to aggressively pinch when the puck is rimmed up the boards. Puts a lot of stress on the forwards to cover. When it’s executed flawlessly, it’s a tough system to play against. But, a small breakdown will result in an odd man rush or breakaway. It’s one thing I wish they’d adjust a bit. Good breakout teams can exploit our system if there’s a slight hiccup.
