GDT: YOUR NEW JERSEEEYYYYY DEVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS @ New York Islanders

[None Shall Pass]

Yeah I'm generally a Tally fan but he was coned last night on one of their PP goals.

 

[Oroku Saki*]

Greene and Larsson weren't anything impressive either. Greene got coned a couple times. Hopefully they all get their **** together again.

 

[ILikeItVeryMuch*]

This game really jostled my Costanzas.

 

[Mgd31]

Still baffled by how you can implode like that on the penalty kill. But I guess they deserved it after they couldn't pot 1 or 2 in the first.

But damn 3 goals in 2 mins and its over. ****ing idiots.

 

[manilaNJ]

The penalty kill suffers whenever they're forced to break normal pairings consistently.

It's an aggressive kill with the trademark 'swarm' mentality and it requires a lot of chemistry between the 4 guys on the ice.

It blew to hell when Zajac came back in the playoffs and the pairings were off.
It blew to hell when Zubrus went down and the pairings were off.

The forward pairing Elias-Henrique was a mess, in regards to positioning, against the Canes.

I don't foresee this as a problem for too long, once the PK pairs start reading each other better.

We're 3-2-3 with Tallinder in the lineup.

We're 6-1-0 with Tallinder out of the lineup.

We're 0-2-1 with Fayne out of the lineup, giving up 5 goals in each game.

We're 9-1-2 with Fayne in the lineup.

It's amazing how different a team is with two very good pairings (Greene/Larsson, Fayne/Salvador), as opposed to just one when Fayne is out.

And that is the rub right there, you could go further that most of those loses were with Larsson and Fayne out.

The PK looked its worst in the games Fayne was out (both Islanders game, was ok the one game against the Pens). It is connected in my opinion, and it equal parts Tally sucking and Fayne being important to this team's D. Also the better d-pairings. Sal and Volch are usually ok when paired correctly.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Fayne is pretty damn solid. Shouldn't have been sat

 

[manilaNJ]

Regardless, this revolving door on our dpairings has got to stop at some point. It's not going to do anybody any good. Somebody has to go, otherwise the d is going to be consistently shaky.

I'm confident enough in Harrold to step in for necessary depth/injury issues.

 

[Oroku Saki*]

Lou is going to be careful with Tallinder. Players get word and think differently of your organization if he's not getting a fair shake. Only thing I can think of as to why he's in over Fayne right now.

Yeah, but...Tallinder's Corsi.

 

[Bleedred]

One easy way to fix the PK without practicing or changing strategy? Tallinder Get Tallinder the **** off of it.

Tallinder shouldn't be on the PK unless we're killing off a major, or a double minor and we gotta keep putting guys out cause there's not a lot of whistles.

Tallinder should never start on a PK AGAIN! If you have the stomach watch the 5 minute major against the Kings. Conerik lost his man on the PK then too. That was different cause you gotta use everybody on a long kill like that. Tallinder was as bad as Foster last night, or even as bad as Volch in the Florida series. Much worse than Volch has been this year at all. I don't give a **** about CORSI. I know what my eyes see, and they've seen a lot of scary things since he's been in our team.

Or you know we could put his ass back in the press box and let him eat popcorn. If Fayne is healthy and sits tomorrow I don't know what they could be thinking.

 

[Bert Marshall days]

i wouldn't trust anything that guy writes, but hey let the islander fans deal with it now.

He wrote badly about you guys? Such as?

Good old Conerik Tallinder

It had to be obvious to everybody that Tallinder was a pile of suck last night. I would rather roll 7 D, and scratch Barch if we MUST play Conerik tomorrow. Pete, and Stevens on the bench, Lou upstairs, and Fayne all had to have taken note.

If I see him going out on a PK again I'm gonna pencil us in for a goal against before the puck even drops for the PK faceoff. He has always been **** on the PK.

He's getting a fair shake. The team is clearly better when he doesn't play.

They can't be trying to showcase him, because in that case he's lowering his value with each game.

He wrote badly about you guys? Such as?

Every week, without fail, he would write an article in the Post about the Devils being broke. And as much as you can read a tone into a newspaper article, he sounded gleeful.

[Richer's Ghost]

@SunGarrioch: Ben Bishop will start in the net tomorrow. No decision on Peter Regin. #Sens

Bishop?

Great. He hardly ever misses.

 

[Nick0930]

Teams have figured out that the key to possibly beating the Devils is having a huge goalie or one with oversized pads. Or both.

You never said anything about an android being on board ! Why not?

 

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

Tallinder should help himself first and foremost. Lou shouldn't worry about a player who can't crack our squad and I doubt he gives a rats ass about what the rest of league says about Hank "not getting a fair shake", wich is complete BS IMO.

Players make their way into the lineup and if a certain player expects to get a free pass from our coaching staff or the Gm, then he's not in the proper organisation.

 

[Feed Me A Stray Cat]

How about we stop taking so many penalties?

 

[CerebralGenesis]

I agree, although I still think the league is calling more penalties so far this year to drum up scoring.
