GDT: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Edmonton Oilers, 1 PM, MSG+: Another New Year Awaits

[Call Me Al]

nicos gotta rip a one timer there

 

[Dialamo]

Keep shooting Nico that was a good one!

 

[Burner Account]

Seems like players don’t like any hits against their teammates. None.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Now Smith in god mode.

 

[SKNJD9]

Maybe stop challenging the glove ?

 

[My3Sons]

Sure Smith decides to play well now

 

[Eggtimer]

More than half of this team is actual dead weight. If Fitzgerald really believes the problem isn't the talent he should be fired.

Yup. Him refusing to acknowledge that some pod the kids simply are not a fit is going to bite him in the ass. I get having patience but there is a time when you have to realize they just don’t have what it takes. Shara Kuokkanen and Boqvist are some that come to mind . Time to move on . Trade them for whatever you can get and it’s time for others to get a chance.
In the meantime , we have to surround the kids with some better veteran players besides Tatar . Jack needs someone that can score. Mercer with Kuokkanen is a joke.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Jack forgot how to hockey all of a sudden.

 

[Whaddagoal]

It wasn’t that serious and if they come down the face-off is no longer in the offensive zone

Maybe yeah.. Still kinda feeling another guy should be there..

 

[Nocashstyle]

They’ve actually looked like NHLers on a PP

 

[Oneiro]

I’m pleased we can set up and shoot now.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

We are gonna be in trouble when game management kicks in.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Like night and day better

 

[DerekDevils30]

Good to see the PP improving.

 

[Lou is God]

Good God you're a one negative dude

 

[FinnishDevil]

We are gonna be in trouble when game management kicks in.

I thought we already got lucky on couple plays. Oilers shouldve had couple PPs by now. Especially the Keith trip prior the 3rd goal.

 

[Bleedred]

We need one more goal.

I really can't see Blackwood not allowing at least one more. It's actually been a while (like 2 games ago) since he's allowed a really terrible softy.

 

[Eggtimer]

Good to see the PP improving.

Only took two years to finally have a couple of PP look average .

 

[My3Sons]

We need one more goal.

i think NJ needs at least two and will need to play with the lead.

 

[Lou is God]

Oilers still haven't gotten a PP, you know that's coming soon.

Every team has players like that? Those guys aren’t blocking better players, they could be potentially for traded for some but don’t have to be.

I don’t get the fixation on the culling of players rather than getting better ones, guys will go away when they go away. (Or maybe improve.)

 

[My3Sons]

Smith is settling down a bit. He actually recognized the way the play was going on that last shift and adjusted.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Want to make a note.. Ty smith made a great decision not to pinch down in that last sequence.

He hesitated but backed traked.
Right move

 

[NJDevs26]

We are gonna be in trouble when game management kicks in.

What game management? It's already tied up
