GDT: Devils vs. Sharks - 10:30 PM - MSG+

[njdevil26]

We have the absolute freight train of the Florida Panthers coming Tuesday. Yikes.

 

[NjDevsRR]

We stole those 2 pts but I don’t give a shit… a win is a win!

No we didn’t. Devils were the better team most of the night. Devils beat themselves with special teams.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Trade for Strome and fine. As of now we do not have a 3C and if you move Mercer to the wing even with Jack back it's a massive hole

That’s certainly a fair point.

0/13 PP in California lmfao

 

[Devils090]

I thought Smith looked much more comfortable skating tonight. He was making forecheckers miss by cut back against the grain and he was walking the blue line in the offensive zone; he wasn’t/couldn’t do those things earlier this year.

Smith hasn’t been great but I’ll give him a few more games to get his legs.

what are we for the year

 

[JK3]

Big win, had to get something out of this trip.

AND we didn't even lose to Johnny Mac!

I wonder how many teams have actually lost to John MacLean head coached teams? That's a good trivia question.

And please don't say ''A lot of teams lost to him as head coach, because he was really the head coach when Lou was head coach in name only''. Both of Lou's head coaching gigs were pretty much the first two incarnations of the N. Bench. They just didn't come with that fun alias.

The Rangers are one team that comes to mind that have never lost to Johnny Mac. I don't think we beat them that year until after he was fired. I don't think the Islanders have lost to him either. The Flyers we did beat. Oddly enough, I think we beat the Capitals with him and the Flames too. Who we have a TERRIBLE record against historically. We have our lowest winning percentage against them than any other team in the league. Recently, Winnipeg lost to him. I don't even think we beat Atlanta when he was coaching. Buffalo lost to him a few nights back and they also lost to him twice when he was with us. That was probably the only team we beat twice that year while he was actually the head coach.

Rough, rough stretch coming up

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

what are we for the year

3/33 if my math checks out

 

[Hisch13r]

Johnsson-Mercer-Bratt and Tatar-Nico-Zacha work. I'd send Holtz back down until Jack's back so he has someone to play with

 

[Hisch13r]

3/33 if my math checks out

I believe it's 18 straight without a goal

 

[OmNomNom]

How many of our GAs are PPGs

 

[My3Sons]

Johnsson-Mercer-Bratt and Tatar-Nico-Zacha work. I'd send Holtz back down until Jack's back so he has someone to play with

Tatar looks to be struggling to me.

Weren’t we 10-29-2 when we gave him boot in 2010? Some of those wins though could’ve been the same team, only win I remember distinctly was Kovy’s OT winner in Buffalo lol

They're due for a regulation loss.

 

[Bleedred]

3/33 if my math checks out

Ugh

I'm happy to be wrong on us having a better chance at scoring a power play goal than a shootout goal.

We've almost matched our power play goal output in the shootout in about 26 fewer tries?

 

[Bleedred]

They're due for a regulation loss.

Was about to reply saying the same thing.

They won't be undefeated in regulation all season. Carolina wasn't, they just lost to Florida tonight for their first loss of the year.

[Hisch13r]

Yeah he can be better but that line has been controlled play well together and I'd rather keep him there than put Holtz there

 

[Devils090]

I thought it was like 9-24-something, it was right around Christmas wasn’t it

 

[JK3]

How many of our GAs are PPGs

We gave up 11 going into tonight.

I remember another Kovalchuk OT winner against Edmonton, which I think was on a power play.

We had a random stretch where we won like 3 of 4 with MacLean, where Hedberg was in net for all 4 because Marty was injured.

 

[Maine Fan]

Tatar looks to be struggling to me.

They should look back at why he was so successful scoring with lines while playing 5 on 5. Was he playing with a better Center or a better wing? There must be something different with the Devils.

 

[Devils090]

Rags board already talking about Bedard and Michkov lmaoooo
