GDT: I'm Giving Her All I Got Captain: Devils @ Habs, 2 PM, MSG+

[TheUnseenHand]

Someone must have told Nico that Patrick scored in OT, because he scored two of his own including a game winner in OT after. Had to one-up him.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

The team looks better for one reason or another when Blackwood is in net. Even in those few games back from the short injury stint before the break where 3+ goals were let up, the team still played more consistently.

I didn't think the team looked better in front of Blackwood in this game. They looked like space trash. MB29 just didn't give up any back breaking softies. Also, Montreal blows too.

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

Montreal should be eliminated from playoff contention for losing this game today with the (lack of) effort and lineup the Devils threw at them.

 

[Azathoth]

Crazy that Blackwood is getting no play on the main boards considering he has better numbers than Hart.

If only certain posters would start to hype up our players instead...

What does Ponikarovski have to do with anything?

Greene looked more washed up than he has at any point this season. Is he trade-able for a 7th rounder?

 

[Bleedred]

Can we at least acknowledge that Blackwood's last 5-6 games of poor play was to be taken as seriously as his first 5-6 games of .963% goaltending? He wasn't gonna be a .940-.960% goalie all year. Those were (hopefully) just the numbers evening out a bit.

 

[Bleedred]

My god the goalie stats are horrible outside of Blackwood. Kinkaid did well early on and kept us in it, but holy **** did Hynes and his use of Schneider **** us this season. Im sorry, but no way should Schneider be starting another game for this organization.

I agree with you, other than your critique of Hynes for using Schneider. If there's one thing we can't fault Hynes on, it's that he tried his damnedest to keep Schneider out of the net this year. He almost went out of his way to not use Schneider. I think he wants Schneider in the nets this year the least out of anybody else. He had to play him sometimes though I don't think he exceeded what he should have in regards to how many games he gave him.

 

[Bleedred]

By the way, Greene looks even worse with Vatanen out of the lineup than anything.

I've said a few times that Greene has exceeded expectations for me this year for what I expected, but he looks considerably worse with Vatanen out and having to take more matchups.

I think he's capable of a .925%

 

[Bleedred]

I think he's capable of a .925%

Not on this team!

In all honesty though, .925% is probably a bit too much to ask for. That's more to the level of Cory before he fell apart.

I guess good, I thought she was hot when I was a kid

How long ago was that?

f*** afternoon games

[Devils Dominion]

Was Delaurias laughing post-game?

At least it was Mueller in OT and not Greene

Well, at least there'll only be 3 after next weekend.

Nico just turned 20. Knew he was going to have a big game when I heard he was wearing the A.

My issue with how he used Schneider was how he put him in, in away games when the teams been dog shit on the road

 

[Devils Dominion]

Carry this win to help beat Kovalchuk at The Rock on Tuesday

 

[haak84]

Team needs to find a way to give nico open space to shoot on the power play. If he develops that weapon then he would reach another level. He definitely has the capability.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Can’t believe some doubt young Nico

 

[glenwo2]

Kinky speaks French. Who knew?




That said, did Kinky have to put up a GIF of *that* guy, though?

 

[njdevils1982]

fitting…..

Mueller's skating was key.
