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

[Dialamo]

Huge PP. Let's go into the 3rd only down by 1.

 

[Devs3cups]

The goalie and defense have both struggled

Defense has been fine. Every single high danger chance ends up in the back of our net.

 

[JrFischer54]

I didn’t see the first goal but the breakaway Vitek the clutterbuck Vitek. The last goal is borderline Vitek like he’s gotta make a big save but you know he won’t so it’s pretty much useless

 

[BurntToast]

The Devils need to simplify their play when they play these “lunch box” teams.

I think the Canes gave the blue print on how to beat the Devils. Teams that have beaten the Devils: Flyers, Caps, Blues. They play low event hockey.

 

[Bleedred]

Who’s the answer in net? Gibson? What else it there?

How about just start by playing the other guy more? He hasn’t even been as bad as Vitek and has played in line a third of the games Vitek has played in.

 

[Homedresser]

We are 4 pts from 3rd in the division with 2 games in hand. It’s not a normal year, all teams are still in it

they sure are... it'sNovember.

Possibly. I'd probably need to see a more detailed breakdown from that stat that gets thrown around. But historically, we aren't in a good spot, I think.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Beardless Palmieri looking like Mr. Bigglesworth

 

[IDEKWTM]

Holy that was weak as shit

[AfroThunder396]

Kyle Palmieri without facial hair is one of this nations saddest offerings.

 

[MasterofGrond]

The options out there aren’t actually better than Vitek, but I do think they could be here.

Once again, I just think there’s no saving Vitek here. Nobody has any confidence playing in front of him anymore, especially the guys that were here last year.

Vitek is gonna give you horrific goaltending the remainder of his time here.

It literally doesn’t matter who they are, they can’t be worse than this. I’d call up half the ahl to play over vitek if I could

We need a shake up

 

[Oneiro]

One, play Schmid more but also bring in a much more technically minded goalie, not a reactionary, athleticism-first guy.

I watched Marty and Schnieder for too long to want to see someone so inefficient back there.

 

[IDEKWTM]

First time I ever see JH86 attempt an OV

 

[TF1970]

I’ve switched to the Toronto-Florida game since the last goal. Those of you who are sticking out in this disgraceful disaster, best of luck.

 

[Bleedred]

I’m convinced Ruff only pulled him because they hope the Islanders continue the beat down on Akira and that gives him more reason not to play him and keep going back to the colostomy bag.

I think the Canes gave the blue print on how to beat the Devils. Teams that have beaten the Devils: Flyers, Caps, Blues. They play low event hockey.

Devils want to break you down so instead you should passively bend and bend on defense and eventually the Devils will break themselves.

Same idea works in the offense zone for opponents too.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

They need to put Dougie on PP1.

 

[Bleedred]

It should t be discounted that last year’s playoffs broke Vitek here.

Maybe it didn’t break him permanently, but it certainly is the point of no return here.

Well the Canes play high event hockey, they just take all the events.

 

[IDEKWTM]

Missed holding and tripping call

 

[Alex NJD]

They need to put Dougie on PP1.

I agree. Not anything on Luke but I think we need that threat of a booming point shot

 

[My3Sons]

Defense has been fine. Every single high danger chance ends up in the back of our net.

They are struggling to clear and the opponent gets to rim it around at will over and over without a NJ guy ever in position. The system is broken.

 

[Devs3cups]

4 GA on 2.5 xGA.

Vitek is psychologically checked out.

I felt more confident with 2018 to 2020 Schneider in net.

Luke can shoot and dance. I think Bratt might need to shoot from the slot every now and then.
