GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (5-3-1) @ Detroit Red Wings (3-3-0), 7 PM, MSGSN

[Killing Joke]

Hasek is the goat Marty can suck my ass for forcing Markstrom on us. Sister in law banging moron.

 

[Devs3cups]

This game reminds me a lot of some of the turning point games in past seasons, I've referenced a few of them.

And the way this transpired with those two quick goals, then the cherry on top with Markstrom giving the game away late.

It's game 10 in the year lol. I'm pretty down on them at the moment and even I'm like "ehhhh" about this being some kind of spiralling, season ending game for them. Realistically I think there are some positives to take away from this game.

 

[Comparison Ford]

these are games you need to get points out of. biggest missed opportunity of the season so far in my book.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Self inflicted losses are the absolute worst.

Self inflicted losses with a dash of ref f***ery might be even worse.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

again, this is bullshit. Sorry. T

any other goalie they easily get 2 points tonight. Detroit didnt do f***ing anything.

Heard that a lot last year. Now we have another goalie. Result = the same.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Yup but unfortunately not going to play a broken down flu ridden bottom feeder the rest of the year. Decent stepping stone game. Need to see it against teams that matter now.

Team does exactly what you’ve been clamoring for: decent stepping stone game

Would you like to outshoot the opponent 50-10 next time?

 

[Bleedred]

Hasek is the goat Marty can suck my ass for forcing Markstrom on us. Sister in law banging moron.

I think he's forced Rogalski on us more than Markstrom.

Him and Clemmer can go f*** off to the Rangers. I couldn't care less.

 

[Hisch13r]

In the regular season sure it is. You dont get more points for beating 'better' teams.

not to mention they beat Washington who is 5-1

My god some of the standards people have around here is incredibly low. Sorry I don't care about making the playoffs off the backs beating up on mostly bad teams and getting killed by the good teams and then expecting that team to contend.

Nico. That's it.

 

[MadDevil]

Time for some THC and CBD therapy

Working nights really sucks during hockey season because I can't drink or smoke anything immediately after rough losses.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Heard that a lot last year. Now we have another goalie. Result = the same.

yeah because we had shitty goaltending last year and have had shitty goaltending this year outside like 2 games.

 

[HersheyBob27]

Best game so far this season. They play like this most nights and it’ll be a great rest of the season.

Joke?

 

[Bleedred]

Same goalie coach.

EPIC FAIL by Fitz to not fire him after last year. It was the easiest NO-BRAINER and it didn't cost nothing but having to pay the rest of his contract.

 

[palek1019]

This isn't the game for that. They played well and got goalied.

Yeah most games they win this. Luke with the booboo and not getting more from Markstrom. Sucks but thought they looked better overall. Jack looks like he's getting back to pre shoulder injury. And Nico is just a gem. I don't think these d pairings will hold. They've gotta be easing Luke and Pesce into it. I hope Hamilton-Dillon changes. They're failing the eye test for sure.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

absurd take lol like, legitimately.

"beating up on mostly bad teams" dude its f***ing hockey. They play 82 games. This isnt football where they play 17 games.

my god.

 

[devilsblood]

Im focue

This game is won in OT at worst if Markstrom makes that save that every goalie needs to make.

Period. End of story for this game

I assume you mean the Kane goal.

I don't disagree, but Kane with an open look sneaking a goal through tight a spot is not some "can't happen" experience.

I mean sure "make the save" but it's not a crazy bad goal.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Team does exactly what you’ve been clamoring for: decent stepping stone game

Would you like to outshoot the opponent 50-10 next time?

No. Win, that's it. Just freaking win somehow. No more Ruff meter victories while leaving 2 points on the table.

 

[Devs3cups]

This team played good tonight and I know they can play good.

But the thought of them playing teams like the Rangers, Oilers, Stars and Panthers soon frightens the shit out of me lol. Seems like we're so far away from teams like that still.

 

[MadDevil]

Joke?

Process does not always equal results. The process was improved tonight, the results...not so much.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Uh... we've played the most games in the division...

That's what I meant

 

[devilsblood]

I'm finding this ZBC vs Hischier13 debate highly interesting.

 

[Bleedred]

Imagine overthrowing the government/monarchy, but keeping the president/king.

That's what we did with Rogalski. That's an awfully strange hill for Fitz to die on.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The skaters are going to play closer to this most nights then how they looked the last two. They should be fine.

But if we get goaltending like this all year we aren't going to win.

The obvious saves need to be saved. Like it's not even a debatable point. If they didn't then goalies don't need to exist

 

[dgibb10]

Lmao there is no pleasing some people.

First it was "we don't care about the win loss just how they look"

and then 2 days later when we belt to ass and lose off of goaltending discrepency it's about the fact that we lost.

Hilarious

 

[TheUnseenHand]

yeah because we had shitty goaltending last year and have had shitty goaltending this year outside like 2 games.

We are just going to have to agree to disagree here. We have gone through 8 million goalies. The fact that not a single one of them looks good here should be telling.
