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

[IDEKWTM]

Just ride Akira, he's 23 years old with potential.

Vitek is a slob

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I’m basically checked out. The team is obviously playoff level but the goalies will not allow us to make it.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Fitz, you gotta get a goalie that ruff will play if we’re not gonna get schmid

 

[Bleedred]

I’ll be happy if I never see this piece of shit colostomy bag play another came for this team.

He’s already ruined our season, along with Ruff who plays him every game.

Fire Ruff and waive Vitek.

I’m god damn serious.

Although I suppose if you fire Ruff you don’t have to waive Vitek, because the next guy may not play him every game that isn’t a back to back.

 

[Forge]

All those good vibes from last game, gone. Think we may just need to confront the fact that this might be a lost season.

Just super disappointing with the expectations coming in.

what is it, like 75% of the teams in playoff position at thanksgiving are in the playoffs at the end of the season over the last 20 years?

 

[JK3]

That sack of shit couldn’t even stop a 2 on 0.

 

[NJDevs26]

They need to come back in this game the way they needed to come back against the Caps in Game 82 to get Schmid playoff PT

 

[sabremike]

Where was this horrible and embarrassing effort on Saturday?????????????????

(I kid, I kid)

 

[Blackjack]

VV was crap tonight but that 4th one wasn't on him

Please, Sorokin makes that save every time

 

[TF1970]

I’m basically checked out. The team is obviously playoff level but the goalies will not allow us to make it.

Same here. I can tell I am bc I’m not raging pissed. Aggravated yes but not raging.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Pulled him one goal too early. Nothing he could have done on that one

Or we pulled him a goal too late

That’s a deserved Report card pull

 

[SJinNewJersey]

4 goals on 18 shots .... the horror

 

[Devs3cups]

The D had 2 bad breakdowns tonight and of course both ended up in the back of the net.

 

[Nemec]

Only thing left for vitek is a butt fumble

 

[IDEKWTM]

No way management will ride Ruff all season if this team is on the verge of missing the playoffs

 

[Bleedred]

Ruff needs to be fired for his devoted loyalty to Vitek.

No way management will ride Ruff all season if this team is on the verge of missing the playoffs

I think you may be wrong, but I’m confident they won’t bring him back next season if we miss.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

we were completely dominating and then a 2 minute stretch de-rails the game

same thing has happened too many times this year, and its mostly because of the goalie

 

[MasterofGrond]

A good goalie doesn’t stop every breakdown chance

But he definitely stops at least one of them holy shit

 

[Devs3cups]

The defense has been fine tonight. You guys are just so used and will accept mediocre ass goaltending I swear.

 

[BostonDevil]

Ruff needs to be fired for his devoted loyalty to Vitek.

And Smith, and Wood, and Geertsen

 

[NJDevs26]

Ruff needs to be fired for his devoted loyalty to Vitek.

Unless Fitz and the analysts are the reason for it (aka not wanting Schmid to get roasted when the team has been shit for most of the season)

 

[Jersey Fresh]

No way management will ride Ruff all season if this team is on the verge of missing the playoffs

Nor should they. This team is so fragile, and that’s on him. I don’t care about injuries or whatever.

 

[Devilsfan118]

I'm already entered the apathetic stage here, acceptance.

Ruff will continue to make head scratching decisions, VV Will continue to give us below replacement level goaltending.

Just a tremendously disappointing season, given all the offseason hype.

 

[Emperoreddy]

With an average goalie this game is tied at worst.

 

[Incharge1976]

That sack of shit couldn’t even stop a 2 on 0.

VV is at the point where he will get destroyed every goal he gives up.
