GDT: Your struggling, "in Dire Straits" Preds at New Jersey -- 11/25/2024

[ShagDaddy]

Thatch’s one way to get Stamkos ice time down. Put him with two young guys and list it as the second line while giving them all 6 minutes of ice time.

I... I dont even know any more



Trade a wing for a 4th in a couple years.
Put a wing in the pressbox.
Make a center flex to wing
Act like Svechkov is actually going to get proper ice time by penciling him in as 2C
This is a shit show and will last halfway through the 1st (if that)

I see the coach is grasping at straws again.

At this point in the season, when you see a lineup shift, there should be some kind of spark or positive result. The coaches should see trends and make adjustments like this for solid logical reasons, and be able to state those reasons. This is just doing shit to do it.

I mean, Parsinnen isn't good at wing but Novak actually does good there, why keep forcing Pars at wing? And, why have Jankowski in over Evangelista, what has Jankowski done this season?

 

[ShagDaddy]

Th e devils going with their generic uniforms. Very fitting

I wish Tomasino would learn to clear the puck properly on the PK... Hell, if he won't do it Effin' Fabbro needs to step up and get it done.

 

[SouthNash]

1st shot

Fil

 

[sparkle twin]

Fil!!

 

[Soundgarden]

Don't know what to think

 

[101st_fan]

Markstrom fell asleep waiting for some action.

 

[ShagDaddy]

Some times it is better to be lucky than good

 

[Legionnaire11]

Idk why but I'm watching tonight, first time in a while thanks to late starts. These guys need to put on a great show in this one to ease the fanbase back off the ledge a little bit.

 

[herzausstein]

We are going to go on the flukiest win streak ever arent we....

 

[SouthNash]

Holy cow is this game fast!

Figures dammit

 

[herzausstein]

Tomasino or Evangalista shouldve backchecked that

 

[Soundgarden]

Alright now I'm feeling better. Tie game

 

[ShagDaddy]

Yeah, that’s the Perds we’ve grown to know and have apathy for this season.

 

[herzausstein]

At this point, we should trade saros so we can lose properly

 

[101st_fan]

Th e devils going with their generic uniforms. Very fitting

I wish the helmets had stickers that said "helmet" and the pants were labeled as well. Make it a toddler picture book uniform.

 

[SouthNash]

 

[Legionnaire11]

Stating the obvious, but getting a goal during that sequence would have been huge for the Preds. Multiple great chances.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

I don't get to watch a lot of games but if their gap control is always this bad it's no wonder the rush defense sucks.

 

[101st_fan]

I don't get to watch a lot of games but if their gap control is always this bad it's no wonder the rush defense sucks.

They prove control is just an illusion.

 

[Osprey]

I keep forgetting who the opponent is. The Devils with no red in their jerseys is as foreign to me as the Preds giving ice time to youngsters.

 

[Legionnaire11]

The postman always rings twice

 

[herzausstein]

Yeah that tracks

 

[SouthNash]

Come on saros...I know your defense ducks but

Ducks???
