GDT: 1/11/24 - 7:00PM EDT - New Jersey vs Tampa Bay

[Hoek]

Sucks Perbix handed them a point. Oh well.

 

[T REX]

I thought we were clearly the better team. Two of their three goals were weird and Perbix with the dumb give away.

I hope so. They were missing their Kuch, their Hedman and Timo/Palat.

Shoulda been a blow out.

BUT...but...I'll take it.

Yep I'll take every point right now we can get. Gotta think our defense will be healthy at some point and we can scratch De Haan and give Perbix like 5 minutes a night of IT

Timo is overrated but his presence is missed in tight games like this

 

[RDTBay4]

Once we won that challenge, the game was pretty much decided. There was no way Vasi or the boys was going to let another one in.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

The only reason you send him back down now, is because you don’t want him getting >10:00 ice time in the NHL when he can get 20 in the AHL.
but I don’t subscribe to that theory, personally.

This team is on the edge of making or missing the playoffs. I wonder how that factors in. If Lilleberg can help you win games, even in a limited roll, does that push him to stay? As long as Sergachev is on LTIR, it gives us some time to sort things out.

Palat with a very Palat regular season of 5 goals, 14 points in 35 games. If only it could always be the playoffs for that man.

 

[Ducati Boy]

Our D is off the hook a little given that we were down to 4 at one point tonight, including a rookie.

He muffed one tonight but Perbix’ play has been pretty decent of late.

 

[bigdaddio]

That team must be hell to play against. It was like they were created by an evil wizard who animated a bunch of hockey sticks onto a small tornado. Stick stick stick stick pounding you everywhere.

 

[OffBy1]

Vasy made two or three clutch saves on full or partial breakaways. Lilleberg is looking like our new Cernak, and we're apparently going to need a new one soon. The puck seemed to hate Cirelli tonight.

In spite of how clear it is that De Haan is not a top 6 NHL defenseman, I'd play him over Weary every night. I've never seen such an ineffective forward. He makes me long for Dmitri Afenesenkov.

 

[RDTBay4]

Rewatch the goal that put us up 3-1. We were doing some kind of slow motion calm shit. It was weird as hell. I've watched it several times now.

Really slow and deliberate. Definitely looked coached or preplanned.

 

[RDTBay4]

Palat with a very Palat regular season of 5 goals, 14 points in 35 games. If only it could always be the playoffs for that man.

Sucks to see both Palat and Killorn struggle with injuries.

Didn't catch it, recap it for me G.

Looked bad, eeked out a win. Everybody loves the rookies/call ups until they don’t.

He muffed one tonight but Perbix’ play has been pretty decent of late.

Just when I thought he's been turning his play around he gave them a freebie. Still, I would say he's been pretty good lately.

Vasy made two or three clutch saves on full or partial breakaways. Lilleberg is looking like our new Cernak, and we're apparently going to need a new one soon. The puck seemed to hate Cirelli tonight.

In spite of how clear it is that De Haan is not a top 6 NHL defenseman, I'd play him over Weary every night. I've never seen such an ineffective forward. He makes me long for Dmitri Afenesenkov.

If it was a one year deal, whatever. It's not though and we get to enjoy his stellar play for two more years.

 

[Pierre Larouche]

I miss Serge

Me too.

 

[Pierre Larouche]

I'm gonna keep saying it.

I really like Lilliberg.

He doesn't look nervous at all.

Game doesn't seem to fast for him either.

He's really impressing me as well- looks like a young Cernak.
