GDT: Animal House, Bruins @ Devils, 7:30 TNT

[Devs3cups]

You guys are going absolutely rip the Penguins apart tomorrow.

We’ll play very good, score 1 goal, your goalie will look like prime Brodeur, and you’ll win 2-1 off of a very low scoring chances count.

If lou was gm he would not be excepting this collapse... there would be a trade in the making ...someone who could actually score a goal ...not someone who flubs empty net shots game after game!

Lou would probably trade L. Hughes and Nemec for Patrick Kane. Problem solved, I guess?

More like Bratt and Severson

Would still be a horrible move.

Once again, the booing of Hall is because of several things he did and said before he left. I can't believe anybody could forget it.

He called out the fans for booing one game and said something like ''We have to battle our own fans too'' and he was mad that the team was booing in a game that we weren't losing. We did lose it in the end.

And the very next game he put his hand to his ear after he scored a goal to mock the fans to see if they were still booing him.

THAT'S WHY DEVILS FANS BOO HIM!

Can you imagine if Lindy Ruff made a comment after the home opener about how it's hard enough to win in there, but then you also have to fight against the booing fans and people chanting to fire him?

 

[Dylan9z9]

Would still be a horrible move.

Or we can hope to get Connor Bedard your choice

Just to be clear, you think trading a young PPG, cost controlled winner in Bratt and Severson for like 40 games of Patrick Kane is a good move?

Getting Bedard would also be a cheat code.

 

[Dylan9z9]

The Team will not be 100% anytime soon if we hang on to a playoff spot ... maybe when everyone returns at 100% we can do some damage

 

[NJDevs26]

why are they talking to him? It's Nico's job to face the music.

That doesn’t mean other big name players like Jack, Dougie, and Palat when he gets back have zero responsibility to talk to the media.

Bratt is gone after the season ends no way we are going to pay what he is going to ask for so whats the problem?

We remember but I doubt a majority of the fans who are booing him actually know or care about the cupped ear and his sore loser comments during a team losing streak.

Im sorry I'll have to report your post as it doesn't fit the current narrative that we are never going to win again.



If Mackenzie Blackwood is in net theyd better start building pyres in Newark.

I don't think he'll be in net....... BUT! Who knows?

Isn't it the dad's trip? Maybe they do give him the start so his dad can watch him lol.

I remember all the talk about when Bratt got scratched for John Hayden, which I don't really remember the time it happened, but I'm sure it did.

Only that wasn't for a dad's trip, that was just a random game.

No Marino, so naturally we should be able to accomplish that!

 

[MauDevils]

Our GM thinks his bad off-season signing will be his great deadline acquisition.

True point.

But since those are the rabblerouser/mob non-HFBoarder fans, we can't expect too much from the non-enlightened crowds and thus will boo mercilessly, without regard, without hesitation

 

[Gurglesons]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they put Smith in the line up and he gets absolutely dunked on because it’s first game against his old one and he hasn’t played a single minute this year.

 

[My3Sons]

That doesn’t mean other big name players like Jack, Dougie, and Palat when he gets back have zero responsibility to talk to the media.

They are also reasonably allowed to give a non petulant "no comment" type of comment right now if they choose. Look what happened after Wood made his "must win" comment and then had to backtrack. When the team is struggling this badly some guys are just ill equipped to make the proper public statements. Given Jack's age and somewhat snarky public demeanor in interviews I cannot imagine it going well for him.

I think most of us wouldn't be surprised if he actually scores a goal haha.

 

[Gurglesons]

Be hard to score a goal when our coach will play him 12 minutes a night. Glad both fan bases are in the same mindset tho

 

[Whaddagoal]

Speaking of the next Penguin game (and since Gurglesons arrived here as some forebearer of times), I got particularly curious and peeked at their post GDT.

And, wow it looks very familiar over there. They are also in emotional shambles after the 5-4 loss after being up 4-0. They are also on the verge of mental shattering. Something about great Decembers and then bad follow throughs is their typical, vs our horrible decembers.

These two teams are going into next game probably really pissed off. Should make it entertaining at least.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

All the losing we have had to endure the last 10 seasons aside from 1 or 2 has made the fanbase irritable. I can't honestly say I blame them but chanting "Fire Lindy" and booing Taylor Hall (who got us Mercer + Bahl) is pathetic. I wasn't there live for those games but I completely understand why the fans at the games are not happy. Atleast it's about to be December and we are still in a playoff spot and not having to check scouting reports for top 5 picks this year. The team just needs to get back to winning every 2 out of 3 games from now till the end of the season. If we do that we will make the playoffs and we will keep a spild record. We have stacked way to many losses the last few weeks yet we are still in a good spot even though it doesn't feel like it...

 

[Better Call Sal]

I was really happy with Vitek's game last night, felt like he battled hard and you couldn't fault him too much on either goal against. That save he made is probably once of the nicest ones I've gotten to see live since Marty hung up his skates.

I think you mean Jan and while i agree that was my goal to play meaningful games into the new year this isn't exactly how i wanted it. its one thing to be fighting for a playoff spot right now which is what i thought would happen. as to what we are doing now where we are sinking out of a playoff spot which is totally different.

 

[NJDfan86]

No lies detected. Same goes with shara people point out his 25 30 goals whatever he had last year but guy just goes cold too long and when both are cold they aren’t even helping the other guys. Imagine if jack went down hurt? Forget it

This literally applies to almost all players in the NHL with the exception of a select few - most players who score 40 goals aren't scoring 1 goal every two games. Also, the idea that Bratt and Sharangovich aren't "helping" others when they go "cold" is absurd.

Everyone's favorite scoring target has been held without a goal in 20 of 36 games this year including streaks of 9 (avg 4.66 s/g) and 6 (3.66 s/g) - sometimes the puck just doesn't go in.

Yeah my bad meant Januray.
