GDT: Your New Jersey Devils @ Washington Capitals, 3 PM, MSG+

[devilsblood]

Hamilton’s injury looks serious? I didn’t see the play.

Puck to the face, but deflected and not a direct hit. So hopefully not too bad.

Nico is a well carpeted individual.

Palms left his hair behind when he went to go play for Lou

If you had any you would know Jims
Agenda in his posts and you wouldn’t make an absurd post like you did to back him up. Ridiculous.

What? lol

I don’t know why posts like these are made when Jim was pointing out the obvious. The stats Jack had prior to this run were mediocre.

Now that he’s picking it up, it’s a great sign for him and the team. It took about 3 years but he’s giving us what we were expecting.

It’s the fact he never pops in when the player is putting up the points and playing his best hockey. He will be here in a nano-second the minute Hughes has a rough stretch but not when he’s blossoming before our eyes.

Without that blackwood gaffe... NJ played a great game otherwise if you factor in missing dougie for like 85% of the game too.

We dominated for segments of this game.

nico hairychier.

The eyebrows are taking over.

You can't lose a shootout if you win in overtime.

For what it's worth, I think I predicted us to win this game in Washington when I did my little predictions of all the games through the Blue Jackets games next week.

Of course, 2 of them were postponed in the stretch, including my predicted dud loss to Montreal at home.

I think I predicted big shocking wins over Pittsburgh and Washington on the road. The Pittsburgh game got postponed though. I did predict a beatdown by the Oilers though.

after the sabres game i wanted 8 of the next 10 points by the end of the 2nd jackets game this week

What? lol

If you seriously don’t know Jims schtick on some of these young players and the reasons why then you shouldn’t be defending him if you’re that oblivious.

BUT again, burner account…

 

[Zippy316]

Boqvist needs to really put some points up (like just now) if I'm keeping him in over Bastian.

He's going to end up as trade bait soon. There's an NHL player there, but he hasn't been able to solidify a spot when he's in the line-up.

I'm afraid he's going to get pushed out soon as guys get healthy. Hopefully the Devils trade him to give him an opportunity elsewhere.

Nico can be described as filamentous

Maybe reassess the way you evaluate players? Hughes put up poor raw point totals on awful teams with the body of a child (in an incredibly tumultuous time with coaches fired and COVID, etc.) Who cares?

There was plenty there to see to expect greatness out of Jack. Just looking at points is how you end up trading Jesper Bratt and missing out on what he is currently doing.

Detroit and Philly need to start losing games too.

Philly lose yesterday. Only a point behind them. Detroit lost today, only 2 behind them.

Catching them right now isn't a tall task at all.

Boston is the big issue. 3 points back and they have 5 games in hand. They need to beat them Tuesday.

 

[Bleedred]

Just tell Lindy to stay home.

What if he's out 4 games (I said 5 but he'll probably only be back 4 and I think he's even eligible to come back after the Boston game if he has negative tests) and we go 4-0-0 or 3-0-1 and then he comes back and we go back to losing 3 or 4 in a row when he returns? Does he get canned?

I don't think these games really had anything to do with him being gone and we did win our last game with him behind the bench, but it makes you wonder.

I'm gonna say it again, I don't think Nas is really worse than Ruff, but I really wouldn't want either of them as a head coach.

And Ruff is still having zoom meetings with the staff on the bench, so he's still pulling a lot of the strings.

 

[Guttersniped]

Yeah that's as close to a must win. When Boston has so many games in hand you have to take direct points from them if you can.

Boston will come in 4th in the Atlantic at worst and is making the playoffs. Detroit will fade.

Unless Pitt hits the skids, Boston is the only team we can attempt to catch.

It might not be possible. Boston's game in hand situation could have them run away with the final wild card spot.

No one is close to them point percentage wise right now as far as teams outside looking in
