GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (50-21-8, 108 Points, 2nd in Metro) @ Boston Bruins (61-12-5, 127 Points, 1st in Atlantic), 8 PM, ABC/ESPN+

[Emperoreddy]

We didn't play all that well, better 2nd half of the period but we are still in it.

 

[Dialamo]

.900 save percentage for Blackwood? Ruff paid off the shot counters for sure!

 

[Emperoreddy]

We really need to learn how to cheat like these vet teams

 

[HoliksGhost]

2-1 playoff intensity… good tune up… the young guns need to learn from this…

 

[MauDevils]

22 shots and 1 xGF. Whoopdiedoo.

 

[Devils731]

So two quick pints...

One, Shara cannot play like this in the playoffs. Just too reactive.

Two, there's that play which gets called so inconsistently-- a Devils dumps it by a Bruin on the right wing and after it's dumped and he's about to go by he gets rubbed into the boards. No call, which I agree with but Siegs has had a couple of those called as interference this year.

I JUST WANT CONSISTENT CALLS.

They should both be called.

After a dump in you can’t impede the forecheck from the side of a player, you have to stay in the middle of their chest.

Tonight’s Bruin check from the side well after the puck was gone was basically a text book interference penalty.

Can we just hear Messier talk about about Oilers players doing coke in the locker room back in the 80's or something like that?

Not sure if serious??

We get called for it though. Even when they are sneaky like the vet teams.

 

[Unknown Caller]

They keep wanking off to their shot total. Who care

Please with this bullshit. The Devils got their lunch fed to them that period aside from a few shifts. The expected goals are 1.62 to 0.66 in favor of Boston, so we got exactly what we deserved.

Yea for sure. We've learned how to play our skilled game, now it's time to learn how to cheat and take advantage of game management.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I still can't get over how bad the 2nd goal was.

 

[Whaddagoal]

There is no way 22 shots is legit.

Their shot guy is on crack.

 

[New Jersey]

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

shame he was so shit as a devil. we’ve been had!

 

[Bleedred]

1st Period High Danger Scoring Chances:

2-1 Boston

Thanks Mac.

Nah bro!

You sure it's we don't play well for Blackwood?

I'm sure they play scared in front of him. If fans know he stinks, you don't think the guys that play with him every day know he stinks?

They see more shit on him that we don't because they have to practice against this guy. You gotta think they're getting a lot past him in practices and pre game warmups.

And we don't even get to see those.

 

[Killing Joke]

This was a schedule start for Blackwood lol. Unserious staff is unserious. You start our third string goalie against the bruins while trying to compete for a f***ing division title. That’s grade a dementia

 

[Devs3cups]

It'll come.

 

[Guttersniped]

They absolutely can because they have a goalie. Even if they play Halak.

 

[kwichang]

I still can't get over how bad the 2nd goal was.

Yea - that shot was going wide until Blackwood directed it in

 

[Unknown Caller]

22 shots and 1 xGF. Whoopdiedoo.

1.62. That’s about 5 expected goals over a full game lol.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

If we had Halak this would be at worst 1-1.

 

[Saugus]

Good response after the two goals, but I wish we didn’t spot them the two goals. Hoping we can tie in the second

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

This team is winning in spite of him. He has an absolute assload of talent.

I don't think they're very far off the Bruins in terms of talent (outside of goalie position). The major difference is coaching imo.

 

[Bleedred]

Not sure if serious??

I'd rather hear about that than verbal fellating of Blackwood by Subban (or anybody), yeah.

 

[MauDevils]

Please with this bullshit. The Devils got their lunch fed to them that period aside from a few shifts. The expected goals are 1.62 to 0.66 in favor of Boston, so we got exactly what we deserved.

I don't blame them. They basically started the game down 2-0. Kinda sucks the life out of you. Both those goals on Blackwood were awful.

 

[NjDevsRR]

1.62.

And unfortunately he allowed one that shouldn’t go in. That second goal was sad.
