GDT: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Philadelphia Flyers, 7 PM, MSG+ 2

[Unknown Caller]

I've been trying to find a resource with information on the worst record to start the season for teams that have gone on to make the playoffs. Anyone privy to a source?

Not sure, but Masisak just tweeted that since 99-00, 3.7% of teams that started the season with 7 points or less in the first 10 games went on to make the playoffs. I'm sure a large amount of those teams had less talent than this roster, but those are the numbers.

From the athletic

“
From 1999-00 to 2018-19, 86 NHL teams have recorded seven or fewer points through their first 10 games (since the NHL started awarding a point to each team for reaching overtime).
Twenty-one of them recovered to reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including two clubs (Edmonton in 2006, Anaheim in 2003) that made it to the Stanley Cup Final. The 2007-08 Devils are on that list, rebounding from a 3-6-1 start to claim the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Overall in that span, teams that have started with seven or fewer points through 10 games have reached the playoffs 3.7 percent of the time (21 of 570 teams). The 2019-20 Devils have played themselves into that category. At 2-5-3, with seven points through 10 games, New Jersey has a difficult road ahead.”

NHL History: The Worst NHL Midseason Records to Make the Playoffs

Yeah I saw this but it's a mid-season report

 

[johnny pierogi]

3.7% of teams that started the season with 7 points or less in the first 10 games went on to make the playoffs.

 

[Unknown Caller]

As of yesterday, I think Dom from the Athletic had the Devils at an 11% chance to make the playoffs. Actually much higher than I would have expected at this point.

 

[FooteBahl]

Maybe November will be better than October

Remember remember how we didn't shit the bed in November. That should be are rallying cry

 

[JimEIV]

Remember remember how we didn't **** the bed in November. That should be are rallying cry

"We are the ones...."
That didn't shit the bed in November.

Send it to the marketing team, pronto!

 

[FooteBahl]

As per Stein, same lineup from last debacle. The goose is not loose. Unknown on goalie yet.

Needs to be modified to “remember remember how Goose got benched the entire month of November.” I hope Hynes found a razor blade in his candy yesterday!

According to Chris Ryan Schneider is back in net and blackwood plays tomorrow in carolina.

I don’t mind this. He’s going to get one of the next two, might as well play against the lesser team.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

looks like that isnt true

 

[Scooooooooooooot]

looks like that isnt true

we have a beat reporter off, Chris Ryan and Mike Morreale reporting Schneider is playing

 

[Azathoth]

He's also just under a ppg right now, scoring at a higher pace than guys like Tavares, Tkachuk, Barzal, Kane, etc. and scoring at essentially the identical pace as Kucherov. He drives offense at an astronomical rate compared to the rest of our team. You make your own narrative. Has he made some horrendous mistakes? Of course. Has he been awful? No.

(And if we want to point fingers, Nico Hischier currently has the same amount of goals as my ass, so...)

You're not wrong. This may just be my lying eyes, but Hall's play has been less impressive than his near point per stacks would indicate. Not boo worthy by any stretch, but still leaves you wanting more from someone who is likely expecting a big pay day in the not too distant future and is supposed to be a premier LW in the league. Nico definitely needs to pick up the scoring.

 

[OmNomNom]

yeah i'm gonna be annoyed if we boo hall

Morreale is saying Schneider too...who the hell knows

you watch what you say about my young son, also weird to point this out after a multi point game.

Was thinking about going to this game but if it's Schneider in net, I'm absolutely not.

 

[Ripshot 43]

And I love you

Is it rude to say that I like you, but could learn to love you?

 

[FooteBahl]

I guess Goose is going to watch the game with Gritty tonight in the visitors box to learn how to play “harder.”

 

[FooteBahl]

I’ll take it! Well, not literally lol

Okay, am I losing my mind here? Does he say 86 teams, and then 570? I seriously re-read those two sentences ten times and I cannot figure out what I'm missing.
