GDT: Your New Jersey Devils vs. New York Islanders, 7 PM, MSGSN/MSGSN2

[New Jersey Devils]

Vitek is shot. Guy can’t track the puck for shit

 

[Bcap88]

Infuriating that three goals is automatic for the other team nowadays

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

3 goal minimum if we give up more than 2 scoring chances of any danger. We can’t win anything with this shit.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

That team sucks, they had absolutely nothing for both periods. NJD has carried most of the play. This is unacceptable.

 

[NJDfan86]

Why are we playing two same handed pairs? What the hell is going on?

All 5 RH on that 3rd goal.

 

[Zacha37]

Get him out now

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

3 goals on 1.5 xG

same shit different day

 

[Rhodes 81]

Lmfao, Vanecek never saves a breakaway. Make a save.

Vanecek is bad, but blaming him for a clean breakaway against a really good player is giving too much of a pass to the skaters

 

[Bleedred]

Vitek was doomed here after his joke of a playoffs.

Which was already about 2+ months after a run of poor play had started.

 

[njdevils1982]

take the lead and give it right back

 

[Bcap88]

4 games all f***ing year they allowed less than 3

 

[JrFischer54]

We're blaming the goalie on breakaways now?

I mean he is paid to keep the puck out of the net

 

[Devs3cups]

Isles have created jack shit all game except for 1 breakaway and yet I have to read through posts and posts talking about the defense.

Make a f***ing save for f*** sake.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Vitek is absurdly bad

 

[TF1970]

Vanecek is bad, but blaming him for a clean breakaway against a really good player is giving too much of a pass to the skaters

Point is make an unexpected save at some point. Especially when you give up trash all the time.

 

[My3Sons]

NJ knew they wanted to address goaltending but didn’t even try. I get passing on older expensive guys but at least get another Vitek type to maybe get a chance at a guy playing well. This is painful for NJ and for Vanacek who seems like a great guy.

 

[Emperoreddy]

What's the opposite of clutch? Because thats Vitek

 

[MasterofGrond]

Ok, goaltending is actually killing this team

 

[Billdo]

Infuriating that three goals is automatic for the other team nowadays

That's the worst part for me. I looked it up the other day and we've only given up less than 3 like 4 times this year including Saturdays game against Buffalo.

 

[Bleedred]

I was about say it took 14 shots for two past Vitek.

And before I could say that shot 15 happened and three past Vitek happened.

Market corrections.

 

[NJDevs26]

Vanecek is bad, but blaming him for a clean breakaway against a really good player is giving too much of a pass to the skaters

While I agree with that specific situation, he’s pretty much lost any of the doubt now deservedly so, especially coughing up the lead before you blink.

 

[TrufleShufle]

Automatic. Just like Vitek on any decent chance.

 

[Blender]

We might as well have just kept Blackwood if this is an acceptable standard of goaltending.

 

[Billdo]

NJ knew they wanted to address goaltending but didn’t even try. I get passing on older expensive guys but at least get another Vitek type to maybe get a chance at a guy playing well. This is painful for NJ and for Vanacek who seems like a great guy.

The solution, or at least a better option, is sitting on the bench night in and night out while Vanecek is given a chance time and time again and has shown absolutely nothing to deserve those chances. All Hail Akira

It’s even more infuriating that Vitek is an automatic start in every non back to back these days.

Despite Schmid allowing 2 of fewer in 2 of his last 3 starts.
