[NJDevs26]

Watch us pot 4 behind Ullmark and lose 5-4 cause of Mac

Good god it would be a war zone here lol

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Team is starting to wake up.

 

[Saugus]

It’s very annoying that both their goals are from Zacha. The Bruins fans around me are reminding me.

 

[forceten]

McLeod almost scored in close. Wow

 

[njdevils1982]

meier and the thunder buddies

 

[Bcap88]

Jack and bratt got them to settle in a bit

Very nice shift

 

[Devs3cups]

Man that Zacha tip was almost nothing. Dude just can't position himself correctly. It's a shame given his size.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

It should be 1-0 us. Absolutely stupid.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Good answer since the Blackwood softie

 

[Emperoreddy]

Bit annoying this got lost a bit because of the shit head in net

 

[FinnishDevil]

This game must be so exciting to watch if youre not a fan of either team. Looks like its gonna be fast game all night and Blackwood adds that little bit of a chaos/circus effect that keeps you from definitely not changing the channel.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

what about 8 bahls on defence

I would think 12 unless you know something.

 

[New Jersey]

f***ing hate that Ruff played Blackwood.

play blackwood tonight to guarantee vitek in luke’s debut at home?

 

[Guttersniped]

This made sense for Blackwood.

Vanecek got two wins in a row with Columbus, which he hasn’t done in a while.

Vanecek needs the last game of the season to get ready for the playoffs.

I want to win at home vs Sabres more than I want to fight for this one.

And Ruff likely wants to give Blackwood a real opponent to see what he has with him and Columbus isn’t that.

 

[TrufleShufle]

They all look like they are playing with an extra spark the past few minutes.

 

[BostonDevil]

Yeah - My phone was blowing up from friends and relatives

 

[Whaddagoal]

Still hoping we clown Bs tonight. If Blackwood can f***ing face the right direction, maybe he can stop the pucks

Waking up Palat and Sharangovich would be good to see

 

[Bleedred]

Nah. Ruff played him because Blackwood has good career stats against Boston.

Ruff is a moron

Most of which were compiled YEARS ago.

I don't think he's played a good game against Boston since shutting them out 1-0 in the covid shortened season when we played them 8 times.

But it's not like he's played many games against them since then either, but the last two have been MURDER scenes.

Like the game in Boston last January before he was shut down. He let in a HOWLER from 1983 in the first minute or two in that game.

We all remember what happened right before Christmas too.

And if we see a repeat of that, you let him EAT this one. Ruff needs to live with his decision to play him tonight.

So if he gives up 5 goals this period, you don't relieve him this time.

 

[JK3]

I still can’t believe that second goal, what the heck was he doing?

 

[Devs3cups]

If I'm Ruff I can Mac after the next goal. Can't let this game get away.

I think that should've changed once Carolina lost this afternoon

 

[Bleedred]

I still can’t believe that second goal, what the heck was he doing?

Being the worst goalie in the NHL?

What else could it have been?

He has had 3 seasons to see he is garbage. Enough. Schmid needs to be backup.

 

[FinnishDevil]

I SURE WANT TO SEE HALF THE SCREEN BE JIM WHATSHISNAME SCORE GOALS FROM THE YEAR THE TITANIC SANK INSTEAD OF THE GAME

 

[Billdo]

So I am not currently watching but after checking the box scores I'm torn. Happy for Pav, annoyed Blackwood got this start.
