GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (4-2-0, 8 Pts) @ Ottawa Senators (2-1-0, 4 Pts), 7 PM, MSG

If you're going to be slow, you have to play a heavy game. We are playing a slow and soft game. Not a good combo.

Nico is our best player. He's several steps ahead of Jack right now. Bratt plays way harder with Nico than he does with Jack.

I think that’s a function of what the different lines are trying to do. Bratt knows on Nico’s line he has to bias towards defense. On Jack’s line he has to bias to creation.

 

[Andre Palot]

Get ready for brand new lines (again) next game

 

[Blender]

Really need to just relegate the team to the AHL

NHL would be better with relegation and promotion, no joke.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Bring back Zetterlund!

 

[Killing Joke]

Bad period saved by Markstrom

 

[devilsblood]

Confirmed, Hughes is now a winger.

Our window has closed!

There was never a window. Just a hole.

 

[JK3]

Don’t worry, they say were contenders.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Sleepwalking through another first period.

 

[HoliksGhost]

Goalie makes a stop

 

[HersheyBob27]

did Tatar get off the plane?

Big nothing burger from tommy

 

[devilsblood]

Get ready for brand new lines (again) next game

But what about next period?

The fact that we’re now slow is a narrative that has been greatly exaggerated since the end of the 2022-2023 season.

This chick has very beautiful eyes.

I think Bratt biases way more to offense with Nico because he knows Nico has his back. Bratt plays timid and shades to defense with Jack because he's know Jack ain't covering for him.

into the mixer!


ok drink time

Already drunk

 

[HoliksGhost]

I can’t get used to Erika’s replacement

They are playing slow. The team speed is average. But they are playing a slow game.

This chick has very beautiful eyes.

Listen, she will never replace Erika aight!?!

 

[John Pedro]

Luke and Pesce can't be back soon enough

Dillon shouldn't be on the top pair

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I think Bratt biases way more to offense with Nico because he knows Nico has his back. Bratt plays timid and shades to defense with Jack because he's know Jack ain't covering for him.

Also because Jack mishandles the puck 9/10 times. It's risky to play offensively with someone like that.

He usually isn't this bad, but so far...oof

That may be true. Either way I think Bratt is trying.

 

[HersheyBob27]

they keep talking about Cotter taking faceoffs and hes lost everyone of them...

And never once do we regain possession quickly like the nerds want to believe

 

[devilsblood]

I can’t get used to Erika’s replacement

It will be a long road to hoe.

 

[Bleedred]

I don’t understand why the pessimism is being made a mockery.

After last season this team had A LOT to prove. If last season didn’t happen or we made the playoffs then I can understand people making a mockery out of those who critical or slightly skeptical right now.
