Gotta hand it to Garth, his moves have paid off so far.

 

[EnglishDevil]

This team cannot put a complete game together, that's our biggest problem.

We can't get 60 minutes of actual effort, if the defence shows up the offense doesn't or vice versa.

We never have a single night where we're good on offense, defence, special teams, goaltending etc.

That's a big part of the reason that we lose so many games. That and a general lack of talent.

Today's game felt exactly like last years Devils. To the T .

 

[JimEIV]

Apparently we are judging DeBoer by being out shot anymore...geezewhiz who woulda seen that coming

 

[kiwidevil]

Severson another -2

Which is actually an improvement.

Severson another -2

That's what happens when you play 24+ minutes in regulation and your team can't score.

Jim the blame has to go around to the whole organization and the players. In Edmonton the same guys are in Charge just different positions. This has happened for 7 years. Yet they remain stagnant. Personnel and players change, but the team is still having problems. The Devils could end up similarly soon.

 

[kiwidevil]

Elias a -3 and team worst -9 on the season, next closest is his bf, Havlat at -6.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I love how many key draws Elias took. Does Deboer even watch Elias take faceoffs? I get that Zajac and Henrique are out, but anyone is a better option than Elias. ANYONE.

That's great - did the Islanders have to trade a top 10 pick to get him?

 

[EnglishDevil]

I'm watching the Sabres game, come on Buffalo, you can catch us up!

Time to start rooting for all of the teams below/around us in the standings

To be fair, against the Devils, I could have that kind of save percentage.

Is that on the season or just this game?

dont care what the circumstances are…..i will never cheer on that sack of **** city

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Zidlicky needs to take a seat as well. I don't want to see him back out there. Well, I'd still take him over Sal, but not by much. He has really narrowed the gap.

 

[HBK27]

On the positive side, at least we lost to a starting goalie instead of a backup tonight!

Okay, you're in charge of rooting for Arizona then

Tonight was the first entertaining game they have played in a couple weeks. I give them credit for a good compete levels and a willingness to shoot. If the Devils were not mired in the Age of EliasOcalypse we would brush this loss off I think.

Patty, I just feel so bad for him.

I don't know what's happened to Elias, either he's really fallen off a cliff physically or he's just not trying anymore, perhaps he's had enough of this coach.

I think it's the former though, he looks as though he's past it, sometimes age just catches you up.

He makes decisions that, if they work, you think "what skill!", but they inevitably lead to dangerous counterattacks. His offense used to outweigh his gambling, in my opinion, but not this year. I agree with you.

If I could, I would do:

Greene-Severson
Larsson-Merrill
Helgeson-Harrold (yup, I said it, Pete Jr...I don't mind him).

I convinced he's going through the motions. He did the same thing with MacLean

Pete Jr is better than Zidlicky. I cannot understand how he continues to play him we he's so blatantly awful.
