GDT: Your New Jersey Devils @ Nashville Predators, 8 PM, MSG

[Emperoreddy]

The goaltending the last few games is actually a point in favor of the people saying the system was killing the goalies.

In this small recent sample, the goalies look better after the system changed.

Issue with Vitek is still his inability to freeze pucks and control his rebounds.

He will look better if we continue to play cleaner hockey, but even so we still need an upgrade

Officially only two points out of WC2

Yes. 1 game back of Detroit. 2 games back of Philly.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

1-0 with the bread pudding. I’ll have some leftovers left for Thursday

I made steak nachos.

2 points behind last wild card spot

Got a struggling kings team coming up

Take care of business and go into Saturday with a ton of confidence

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yes. 1 game back of Detroit. 2 games back of Philly.

It's there for the taking

 

[Emperoreddy]

Nemec is such a f***ing stud. Very possible we got the best player out of that draft

 

[Emperoreddy]

Lazar maybe the most underrated player on this team.

Sarge wasn't wrong

There was an article on it in the papers a few days ago.

Also, Sal was talking about the new system during the break last game.

Nashville announcers detailed it in their pregame and during the game. Mostly the role of center changed, if I understand it correctly... Which is why I think you see Hughes moving to wing for Haula and Lazar in favor of Mercer

Edit: and yeah they likened it to a 'zone' defense instead of blitzing. They said 'zone' alot.

 

[Nubmer6]

Idk if they changed the breakout a bit as well but they look crisper and cleaner coming out of the zone. Less on top of each other could be an added benefit to

They don't have all the forwards fly out of the zone as soon as we have the puck, so there's more outlet options.

 

[billingtons ghost]

I think playing more zone means the team knows where the support for the puck is more quickly.

When the defenders were chasing the puck around you never knew where anyone was without looking all around. The defenders would also bunch up when chasing, I think they’re more spread out now so the puck can be moved out of pressure without firing it into the neutral zone.

There's a center in front off the net and that's really all I care about. Lazar's stick block alone justified it for me.

That's exactly what Sal said.

20 shots on net generated between Nico,Hughes,Bratt and timo

Bueno. Carnitas burrito for yo.

Wut? I don't think there's anyone who could believe such a thing.

I like the Sleepy Time Honey because the bear is wearing a fishing vest

IMO herbal tea sucks and I am a big TEA drinker. It ain't tea if there's no TEA in it. Real tea also comes in flavors. My favorite flavored teas are Vanilla and Orange. Drinking a vanilla decaf as we speak. Have to go to sleep sometime.

Sarge wasn't wrong

lazar does what he does and is more valuable than someone like andreas johnsson or drew stafford when they were here.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Is it an electric kettle or one you put on the stove? perhaps that's the misconception that Americans don't use kettles? Reddit and the internet told me that Americans don't use them at all.

We use a tea kettle with a all spout and on Sundays my wife uses a tea pot with loose tea. My grandmother lived on a farm and cooked with a wood stove. There was always a huge tea kettle with the tall spout on that stove as long as people were up. It came to a boil and she moved it off to a spot that kept it just below a boil. Don't have any idea how she always found that spot.

I like most teas. But I got in a habit of drinking chamomile tea before bed. It helps me wind down.

 

[Devs3cups]

Ruff switched up the system. If they keep it up and he keeps adjusting, that’s a huge positive.

Fat drunk Ozzy is the best Ozzy.

There's skinny Ozzy
Short haired Ozzy
Glam Ozzy
Grandpa Ozzy
Dementia Ozzy

But the fat drunk Ozzy is the best Ozzy.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Too bad we didn’t keep Brunette, really got outcoached out there.

Hardly would say this was masterful coaching from Ruff

That right there was the difference between getting just a point which is the best we all hoped for pre-game and 2 points which is beyond anything we expected, especially on the road against a team we haven't beaten in 15 F'N YEARS in their building.

 

[Xirik]

Anyone got a video of Lazars blocked shot? I missed it.

 

[Forge]

Nemec is such a f***ing stud. Very possible we got the best player out of that draft

I'll say that Slaf is looking pretty good for Montreal now, so maybe they ultimately won't regret that pick either.

Would be kind of wild if these two picks with Nemec and Slaf were just the right two picks at the top of that draft though lol
