GDT: Your New Jersey Devils @ Anaheim Ducks, 10 PM EST, MSGSN

[crashline]

No answers for a Ducks juggernaut that won precisely 3 games in February that included losses to the Habs & Jackets and barely squeaked past the *check notes* Sharks last night.

This season's irredeemable.

That’s what I think will happen.

He won’t be here next year.

And he may not survive March if we have to hear the chant every home game.

And it won’t be pretty for the upcoming home stand if we lose the rest of this trip, as well as to the Panthers on Tuesday night back at home.

I don't think Devils fans are going to even care at this point knowing the season is done anyway.

 

[Emperoreddy]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't he sort of temper expectations for Akira this summer? That is what I find amazing, if you thought Akira wasn't ready and then didn't actually do anything. Were you expecting Vitek to go full Marty and play 70+ games on the way to the playoffs?

They wanted Buck, but obviously the price was way too rich.

Pick is getting traded for Markstrom at the draft then.

They need a goalie next year. It's not going to be Saros, it probably won't be Ullmark, and everyone else is trash.

I'll be somewhat surprised if it's moved for markstrom is it's 8 or 9, but even if it was, that'll carry more value in the trade than the nebulous 12-14 range we are at now

We aren't picking top 10

This is his 20th game this season including AHL. Only one back to back. I don't buy being run into the ground.

Do people forget Marty used to go 70+ games a season. Just because the NHL has a more tandem goalie usage, doesn't mean a goalie shouldn't be able to handle high usage. Daws is simply not good enough, like every goalie on our squad.

No offense, but I can definitely say Nico Daws is not one of the 5 best goalies to ever play the game.

Might happen at this rate.

Plenty of time left for this turd to circle the drain.

 

[NjDevsRR]

We aren't picking top 10

 

[Forge]

We aren't picking top 10

We aren't that far off and starting 3/9, that schedule is rough. Wouldn't surprise me at all if we finished there.

It really should have been Markstrom before the Stadium Series game. We could have used him for this final stretch.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

If they trade a top 10 pick for Markstrom, they're the dumbest franchise in the league. At that point, just get Saros since the value of a top 10 pick will lower the rest of the deal with that added.

We aren't picking top 10

There closer to 10 than a playoff spot

They can’t beat bottom feeders and have a brutal stretch coming up

They very well could be picking top 10

 

[My3Sons]

everyone watch bryce’s breakdown of that goal against.

nico turnover. nico goes out for a leisurely stroll. nico doesn’t backcheck. nico’s guy, not marino’s guy, gets wide open because marino assumes that his selke nominee captain is going to give a little bit of effort in a must win game.

that’s 2 goals against tonight directly because of nico. because of dumb, lazy, careless, “ahhh who gives a shit” play.

The idea that Hischier may be struggling this game and your analysis is he doesn't care? He's not trying? Really? That's your take? Lack of effort and lack of giving a crap? OK.

We aren't that far off tbh

Not one of 105 either

Yeah they're 100% picking top 10 with this garbage going on

The only thing I can think of is Nico stole his girlfriend at this rate tbqh

Too F'n bad then. You don't kick the dirt on and walk home to the sad Peanuts song. This makes it even more damning,

You wanted Hellebuyck which means you knew we needed a goalie in June. It's March.

Inexcusable.

 

[Bcap88]

2 points away from picking 10

With this goaltending and defense…..like they say….anything is possible

 

[JimEIV]

We aren't picking top 10

We're only 3 points ahead of Seattle who is 9th right now.

 

[NjDevsRR]

GOOD, Daws was terrible and needs a damn break. Poor kid

 

[vtdevils2k]

They pulled him wow

 

[glenwo2]

It really should have been Markstrom before the Stadium Series game. We could have used him for this final stretch.

Yeah. That whole retention/No-retention hem-and-hawing nonsense really was unnecessary.

 

[Bone Density]

Now they put Schmid in lol
