We say this every year.If the skaters play like this devils will win majority of their games.

Bottom line, it unfortunately cost us.
I don't see how they call roughing there. Dillion waited, and they both dropped the gloves.
The way the refs called it, it made no sense. And it was absurd the wings didn't get the initial call on top of it.
That's easily should have been two each for roughing and 5 for fighting or just two fighting penalties.
I don’t care about the win-o-meter. You’ll find tons of posts from me saying xG are not mature enough to measure things on a game by game basis. xG undercount amazing chances and overcount lame chances, as just some of the issues.This game was reminiscent of pretty much every loss during the Covid year and the 2021-22 season.
Some fans used to have a win-o-meter that was supposed to show the percentage of times a team should win based on the statistics from the game. Many of the losses should have been wins according to the win-o-meter.
I think the statement is true though. Question is, will they play solid hockey most nights?We say this every year.
No, he will get fired because the team sucksI mean he will get fired for not firing a goalie coach if that goalie coach is a reason why the goalies suck again and the team sucks
Dougie was fine tonight?

I think that's a function of having to unlearn all the Ruff strategy and tactics. They started to look better tonight connecting passes. With some more time to practice they should start being able to play faster. The only truly slow players are Noesen and Palat and Bastian up front and then Dillon and Dougie in the back. The rest are at least average and some are quite fast.Detroit sucks. Against actual good teams we look slow.

They lost this game because they completely lost their composure after that awful non call on the boarding.
I do. But I know I have an opposite take than everyone here. They shouldn’t react at all to that stuff. They need to learn to play without emotion. You especially can’t react to that stuff when you don’t have goaltending and as a result can’t afford to go on the PK.I really don't have an issue with Dillon defending himself there and it was crazy by the refs it wasn't even.
Team needs to learn to stick up for themselves physically.
That Mercer penalty was totally brain dead dumb and he directly deserves some of the blame for this lose. Zero excuse
No, he will get fired because the team sucks
I thought he looked bad on that second goal falling over way too early and that last goal was woof. In contrast Talbot made a number of big saves. To my eyes they dominated the run of play and had crappy luck on top of everything else.Did they? I dunno. It never felt comfortable and I didn't really feel like Markstrom was that bad. Last goal was soft as hell, but the game should have been way out of reach by them. Not leading that game by 3-4 at any point is the most inexcusable thing to me and it falls on everyone not named Nico Hischier as far as I'm concerned.
Ok, you win.And there's a valid reason to believe a large reason for that is the goaltending and a large reason to believe Rogalski is a big factor in that.

Bad calls happen, your PK needs to get a kill there to get into OT. That was a hallmark of last years's Devils not getting points in games they should've gotten something. Hell, this board + myself gave them credit for them doing it v the Caps. Mercer better have a good f***ing game tomorrow + Markstrom better have a good f***ing next game too.
