GDT: Your New Jersey Devils @ [Jack Hughes]th Infantry “Blackhawk” Division (8:00 pm, ESPN 2)

[hacksaw7]

Timo doesn't fall after it and look around like a doofus either which is an added plus

Remember when Toronto unironically thought they were getting the 2nd coming of Wendel Clark with this guy?

Clarkson fell off the NHL map very very fast

Also what's up with Tatar, another game at the bottom of those graphs, even though his linemates are at the top..

I still can't believe Chicago traded for Jones when they could've just offered Dougie the same contract they gave Jones. Oh well, our gain.

Oh ho, oh my. What a sight it was seeing GENUCEL on the ESPN while I was home with my three dogs on the couch. Now having said that, I would not recommend this product on dogs, it did not go well. Ho, oh my…

I use Genucel on my knuckles Erika. I still have rough skin from where I punched Joey Kocur in 1988. That guy’s skull had more sharp edges than a shark’s mouth.

 

[Bleedred]

love that this dogshit game was actually above average for mcleod and wood

I thought they were good.

But that's probably how bad the Hawks are.

Like I said, there was a point in the game where I actually thought Blackwood could get a shutout, just because the Hawks were terrible and couldn't even gain the offensive zone.

[MauDevils]

Hischier/Hughes/Meier each carrying their own line is quite a luxury.

mcleod had a couple pretty good shifts, if i'm being honest. Wood looked like wood has for the past couple months to my eye.

That line still gave up chances to the f***ing blackhawks though, which is pathetic

Bowman was an idiot. But I also would like to think that an intellectual guy like Dougie knew Chicago was on a steep decline.

All the charts for the fam.

Spoiler: MoneyPuck because you’re all money.

Spoiler: NaturalStatTrick because you’re all natty

Are we really going to the playoffs with this guy as our backup?

I mean he’ll be the backup but I think he’s really the #3. You ride your starter in the playoffs. I think he’d only see the net if the starter gets pulled and at that point you were probably going to lose regardless. I think if Vitek were to get hurt we’d have Schmid come in and start

this is what ive been desperately praying is true for weeks now

And then paid him more even though he’s SUBSTANTIALLY worse. Philly as well going after Ellis and Risto. Those 2 cleared the path for us

 

[NjDevsRR]

Didnt hear this but I can imagine PK pronouncing “BOUNDS” and “LEAPS” with Uber emphasis and loving it

 

[FinnishDevil]

Is this what late start times lead to? OH MY

 

[MasterofGrond]

no good museums in chicago, what is dougie gonna go to the art institute?

second rate city smh

 

[Bleedred]

I don't really care about Blackwood for the rest of this year

I'm more worried now that he'll get the Miles Wood treatment and we sign him to his qualifying offer because we don't wanna let an RFA walk to UFA.

Especially if they don't think Schmid is ready and don't think they can get a better goalie for $3 million. It'll be fun to see where costs have to be cut to accommodate this guy for one more year.

If he wants to come back, he can come back for $1.5 million (which is what he would get on the UFA market) and compete with Schmid for the spot. Loser goes to Utica/waivers in Blackwood's case.

Between Schmid and part of Blackwood's cap hit that isn't buried, it'll still only be like $1.5 million or even less I think?

This is true. Which makes me think Dougie wanted us and teams knew it. Still a really stupid move by Chicago in a vacuum.

I have a hard time believing he would’ve honed in on us. Philly and Chicago are just stupid.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Wood Shar and Mcleod had a good game tonight. All snakebitten. Had chances to bury and were physical all night.

I dont know who is out when Bastian is healthy but currently those guys are playing well.

You should take out Wood without question.

I believe they said Dougie clearly wanted to be here, wasnt by some happenstance. We offered enough to boot.
