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

[Tiredswede]

Using assistant GM years wasn’t on my bingo card but the anti Fitz agenda is in full swing.

Well, he has been doing a lot of good moves. But his inaction this year and being completely invisible is eroding his position quite significantly

 

[Forge]

Jack has never been that good in shootouts in his career and him being the choice was dumb. Meier/Bratt were better options but hey that's what happens when your HC is inept.

I wonder if they even have the numbers in hand and are prepared, or if it's just a "Jack is the man, this is his moment"

 

[Satans Hockey]

I believe we will still make the playoffs

I want whatever you're drinking

 

[Better Call Sal]

He isn't blaming the goalie when he says that, he's talking about himself and the entire team. Stop reading for things that aren't there. Daws should have made saves, but they shouldn't have had the turnover on goal #1 or the breakdown on goal #4.

Sometimes, the mental gymnastics are unnecessary.

22 wins!!! f***ing losers

 

[guitarguyvic]

I like how he says “we” when he was out there for 3 goals against with 2 horrible turnovers that directly resulted in goals against.

You're hatred of Nico is bizarre. Dude has been rock solid for weeks now but he has one mediocre game and you're talking about him like he's the worst problem on the team.

What is wrong with some people?

 

[Forge]

we're gonna make a trade that hurts, 100%

we can't stand pat

We shouldn't stand pat. We should sell.

But I imagine you're right and there's a desperation move made

Jack had a great game and I don't mind the idea of your best player taking it but if you can choose, he's definitely not my first person doing it. It shouldn't even have come down to that in the first place anyway lol

Hey! Stop hogging the bottle brudda

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

16's RW btw

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Hey! Stop hogging the bottle brudda

What if we do it? What if we just make the simple trade for Markstrom and fire Ruff and somehow save this season?

It’s so simple. It is possible!

 

[Devs3cups]

2024-2025 is gonna hit like a ton of bricks.

We aren’t ready. It’s gonna be a banger.

The lengths you guys go to defend nico. “They” shouldt have had the turnover and the breakdown.

NICO IS THEY.

Nico inexplicably went deep into his own zone causing the turnover on the first goal. Nico turned it over, and then lazily skated back and didn’t pick up his man on the 4th goal.

Not “they.” Nico Hischier.

 

[Devilsfan992]

This team feels like the complete opposite team as last year. Even when we put up 50 shots, it doesn't feel like we do enough.

 

[MadDevil]

Honestly though, is anybody really surprised by tonight? After a beatdown on a bad team it was almost inevitable with the way this season has gone they'd lose against the next bad team they played.

 

[britdevil]

Erika showing to much cleavage.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

"Jack wanted it" LOL get bent, old f***

 

[Satans Hockey]

Oh look it's poor Lindy getting asked all the hard nosed questions from our mean reporters.

It’s clear Hughes should be captain over Nico. It’s like if the Pens chose Fleury to be the captain over Crosby. Nonsensical.

at some point you can't NOT blame goalies at all though, like if i went in and let in 10, they aren't gonna blame themselves

daws is young and may grow, but where we are, we are in desperate need of solid goaltending to step forward

 

[NjDevsRR]

Ruff put it squarely on the goalie and said the team didn’t give up much


I agree

Not one big save by Daws, and one more normal save was needed on goal 1 or 2.

That is the game while the goalie on the other end had a +2.4 expected goals saved night.

But I also blame Lindy on overworking Daws.

Just give me Markstrom. Roll with him and Akira the next two season.

I don’t hate Nico. I’ve hated, since his rookie year, his tendency to take games (and sometimes stretches of games) off.

Nico did not show up to the hockey rink ready to play the game today. That should not be the guy with a C on his jersey.

 

[Forge]

I feel like players should treat more penalty shots and shootouts like breakaways and just take off and haul ass toward the goalie lol act like a defender is in your ass

 

[Devs3cups]

The Nico hate has been and will always be one of the weirdest things on this board.
