GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (11-4-3) @ Wienerpeg Jets (11-4-3), 3 PM, MSG+

Why was the face-off in the Devils zone?

 

[Blender]

You're going to tell me that all 4 of these dumb f***s missed the blatant high stick?

 

[liquid1988]

We need Wood to step up and start smashing faces in like he did last season

 

[tr83]

Lmao, hell of a first goal. Only had to go one inch.

It looks like a blast from the point on the scoresheet

 

[Bleedred]

It's garbage time, so I don't care about no power play, but you gotta call a penalty there, when Palmieri gets high sticked like that.

 

[AfroThunder396]

wtf kind of line change was that

 

[Bleedred]

We need Wood to step up and start smashing faces in like he did last season

We need him to get in a fight, so Hynes isn't tempted to reach into the cookie jar, I mean the scratchbox for Prout.

 

[Tundra]

Team isn't losing because of Zajac, but he doesn't look good. I don't understand the need to rush him back. Wasn't he supposed to be back in January?

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Should have had a power play just now but the refs have been good to NJ this game.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Henrique has been putrid for 10 games. No urgency, no hustle, creating nothing.

He looks out of sync, because you know he missed training camp and almost a 1/4 of the season. Being out longer doesn't fix that, only game time does.

 

[haak84]

schneider looks so much like lundqvist the past few years in his ability to take over certain games but then to absolutely crap the bad for a period or two. and as i said above his stickwork is just awful. im not about to blame the defense when he adds to their responsibility as opposed to eleviating it.

Because it helps keep Zacha out of the lineup.

Bleed, it's friggin' CANADA. What did you expect? Fair calls?

Can't wait until the Devils return to the states where they would at least get some form of fair penalties called in their favor. Any games played in a Canadian teams arena is guaranteed to be a game against both the Team itself and the Officials.

Hey, atleast he actually attempted some forechecking tonight

 

[Zippy316]

I think they thought Palmieri caused Trouba's stick to hit him in the face.

 

[MadDevil]

Hmmm...guy hasn't played hockey in 6+ months. I wonder why he might look off?

 

[NJDevs26]

I mean the Henrique bashing can get over the top at times but it's days like today where I wish this was a different market where the writers would actually ask pointed questions about the invisible man.

 

[My3Sons]

A hat trick is 3 goals in a row by the same player in the same game.
ok.
and 4 goals in a same period of a same game ? a helmet ?
ok.
So we need to score a helmet !

I thought that was a “natural” hat trick?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Lol Henrique had a tap in.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Wide open net, Henrique shanks it into the corner.

Wonder if Hynes will be on the phone with his agent tonight?

 

[Bleedred]

Can't really compare from then and kk was still developing and playing very sparatically. I know I'm prob the only one on this board but not only do I think kk will be a starter after this contract ends, I think he has more success then cory.

I don't think he will be, because here's what happens. When a backup becomes a starter somewhere, they almost ALWAYS experience a drop off in play, due to starting more and a larger sample size and more opportunities to have a shitty game, whether it's their own or because the team lets them down and they get a little unlucky.

There's so many examples of this. Talbot has been good for Edmonton, but he hasn't maintained the level of play from his backup days as a Ranger. Martin Jones probably won't repeat his rookie season, even though he also had a crappy sophomore season as a backup. Antti Raanta? He's already seen a drop off from his backup numbers.

Even our very own Cory Schneider. He was like a .930 goaltender as a backup/1b in Vancouver, he's dropped off when playing a lot more games and becoming the starter.

So if Kinkaid is only a .915 backup, I doubt he's a .915 starter.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Play PZ, when Mojo is healthy package Rico for a dman.

Ehhh, hard to be mad about the officiating. The Devils have had 2 PPs to none for the Jets.

 

[liquid1988]

Please dont bother pulling Kinkaid
