NJ is just going through the motions. They need to up the effort level. Its not like Calgary is playing particularly physically

Still think this is a coaching issue.
How much you want to split the blame between Lindy and the goalie coach...YMMV.

That shot at the top of the circle was right in his f***ing chest.
So bad.
So bad.

Hell Toupée!!!
Imagine what it'd be if they didn't bail his leaky ass out as much as they have.
Even with the injuries the team has the 6th best offense in the league (tied with Edmonton for GF/60).

Nice first 30 min. But not for the first time after good effort and stupid goal against devils players losing their groove. I hope they will start next period on the right wheel.
Teachable moment for young Hatakka, who hasn’t been here long enough to know. Never think VV has made the save until the whistle blows.
It is. Look at VAN after the coaching change. Look at VGK with Cassidy. Montgomery in BOS. Brunette in NSH has a similar record with a worse roster.
The Muk and Zets for Hatakka trade is working out great. 
He looks solid

I mean, you should never assume anything until whistle is blown. That's like basic hockey 101.

The Devils are already fifth in GF per game.
I will never understand people who watch this team and complain about the offense.

People are delusional if you think teams will see Vitek play and think they will lower prices in the summer for a goalie lol. Just bite the bullet and tell markstrom after the game he isn’t leaving Newark. Like Sonny said “nows you can’t leave”

20 shots against in 2 periods with a “OK to Crappy” goalie isn’t a recipe for success.
Why dose it feel like the Devils haven’t played a full 60 all year?!

I think NYI winning is a good outcome. I’m most worried about Tampa and Pittsburgh.
I know. I’m not blaming Hatakka….my comment was tongue and cheek, meant to be more of an indictment of VV.

Nice stat
average sv% is ~90.3
Devils had only 19 games(48 games overall) with 90%+ sv%. They won 16 of them.

At a certain point teams selling goalies are going to be motivated to sell soon because they wait longer teams could drop out because it becomes too late to make a difference.
