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

[JimEIV]

The other team had more breakdowns and won... guess why?

No to guess...80% of shots were from the perimeter....We're perimeter players and they played better team defense.

No problem with choosing jack He’s the best player on your team, you live and die by that.

If they had chose Bratt and watched the patented backhand to forehand right into the pad with no lift everyone would be whistling as to why they didn’t choose Jack.

Shouldn’t have gotten to that point to begin with

This is why I think Timo would've been my option too, he would've gotten on net regardless and has been going lately. Again, I'm not mad with Jack there, I'm just mad on the selection if he literally just hogged from another Devil or didn't even let the coaching staff think and like others have said, that game actually coming down to that specific moment

 

[Bleedred]

Goal 2 was the killer.

We expect goal 1 to happen because that’s almost an every game thing, no matter who is in goal for us.

But that second goal was garbage. Right after tying it? Trash.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Social media is just clowning on us. We are a literal laughing stock

Good, they deserve it. This team is comfortably in second if they didn't take nights off against shit teams till it was too late. Another lesson for this core that shit won't be handed to you season to season.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Ugh roof that Jack

 

[JimEIV]

he needed to save both of the first two goals…

At least one of them.

And he didn’t make one big save the entire game.


This is nonsense to argue about it.

You're right he didn't make one big save the entire night. No question, that is 100% true....

He was also hung out to dry on every single goal.

 

[OmNomNom]

i'll say it



i hate that jack got caught saying that "people pay to see me play" line, even if it was out of context

Ryan Whitney (of spittin chiclets) said it best a few years ago. Whether or not you like the show, he’s a longtime NHL player and I love his perspective.

He said the guys on the bench don’t care what your save percentage is. Goals happen, it’s hockey. He said the one thing a goalie can do that totally takes a bench out of the game is give up goals at the wrong time. Early/late in periods, or — the cardinal sin — a soft goal after the team just scratched and clawed for a goal of their own. He said whether or not anyone would admit it, that kind of thing takes a team a while to get over and sometimes the game gets out of hand quickly.

That is the definition of the devils goaltending this year.

More like... the other team collapsed and clogged the middle because our goaltender gave up 2 crappy goals early and we were chasing all game..

 

[NjDevsRR]

You're right he didn't make one big save the entire night. No question, that is 100% true....

He was also hung out to dry on every single goal.

Ridiculous. Goals 1 and 2 are literally routine plays that happen in every single game across the league

This is craziness. If every low quality wrap around goes in and if every bad angle dot shot going five hole goes in then we are looking at insane scoring rates across the league

Social media is just clowning on us. We are a literal laughing stock

Good thing I don't waste my time on there. Personally don't give 2 shits what any other teams fanbase thinks. Even more so idiots on social media.

The goalies quote and then the offense going dry afterwards was worse, the people pay to see me play line is literally true

Someone post the duck hitting the drum. It’s adorable

Absolutely no consistency. People think bad goaltending can’t deflate players. They’re wrong.

Again go look at every goal and look where the defenders are....each goal the duck attacker was unobstructed to the goalie. Every single one.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Goal 2 was absolutely obscene tonight. You can physically see the players get deflated when that went in. Beer league shit

Again go look at every goal and look where the defenders are....each goal the duck attacker was unobstructed to the goalie. Every single one.

You are out of touch. Those are routine chances that happen constantly.

 

[Devs3cups]

This was a typical Lindy game with a side of shit goaltending

A simple head scratching decision with many others, but taking Nemec off the PP was weird.

2:20 is the same move and area of ice

That's what the damn goalie is there for! Jeez...

Absolutely no consistency. People think bad goaltending can’t deflate players. They’re wrong.

Many people seem to think that it's easy to play the game the same way too, whether it's tied, your leading or you're trailing.

We have to be close to, if not leading the league in time spent trailing games this year. There is a human element to this game, and that will eventually become too taxing on the skaters, especially if the goals are of the backbreaking variety.

 

[MadDevil]

Again go look at every goal and look where the defenders are....each goal the duck attacker was unobstructed to the goalie. Every single one.

If only there was a player between the pipes whose job it was to make saves when the defense breaks down...

 

[JimEIV]

Last resort.

Weird thing is I wouldn't mind Colin Miller on PP1, his shot would actually alleviate pressure on the guys on the half boards making Bratt/Jack deadlier but PP2 made no sense.

Frequency Kenneth. Frequency.
