Post-Game Talk: Another Point down the drain (2-1 OT Loss to Avs)

[glenwo2]

It's like an art form of finding ways to lose that 2nd point for this Devils team.


What will they do for an encore, I wonder?

Quote from Roy:

"We were buzzing and I thought that was the right time; they had the line (Ryan Carter-Stephen Gionta-Steve Bernier) that I thought would be the best for us to score the goal, so why wait?" Roy said. "We might as well know right away, especially when you're putting on that pressure."

Not so much that Deboer had the 4th line out to defend the lead but more Roy pulling the goalie earlier than he expected.

What else is new?

Do teams practice during the olympic break? It's been a while, I forgot.

So Roy exposed our idiot coach's obsession with mediocre AHL players. Great. Glad he said it.

Which is just as I said in the other thread, plus the line was already on an extended shift

Great coaching move

 

[R8Devs]

If Pete needs two top 10 scorers, Zach Parise, and a fluke 30 goal scorer in Clarkson to be successful then I'm sorry your success is not drawn only from your coaching and not many teams can offer you that.

I really hope that Roy quote (assuming it's accurate and he was talking about having the line he wanted on the ice meaning our line as opposed to his scoring line) gets plastered in Lou and Pete's offices tomorrow.

There goes my spastic colon again. Have to take another DeBoer.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

Even Roy targeted that line.

Gulitti:
"Those guys weren't out there with 2 mins to go. It was almost 4 and couldn't get off the ice."

"4th line and D pair of Harrold and Merrill got stuck out there for nearly 2 minutes before tying goal. Carter was only one able to change"

I don't think you can pin it on Pete if those guys are out there at the 4 minute mark, and then just can't get out and only Merrill and Carter change.

A better line would'nt have gotten pinned, and would have been able to clear the puck and get a change.

Because Damian Brunner or Michael Ryder would be so much better defensively. Actually, it was Ryder who threw the puck away and gave Duchene the breakaway with 30 seconds left.

One thing these teams also do is create havoc and scrambles in front of our net for an extended period of time. It should be us doing that on the other end the final 2 minutes.

He said they had the line, not we, so I'm assuming it has to be about our line.

 

[MadDevil]

They're hardly the only line on this team that has issues getting the puck out of their own end though. Thats what happens when most of your forwards are grinders.

Oh - any links to the post game interviews? I'm interested in what Jagr and Cory have to say about this.

 

[NJDevs26]

btw supposedly we had 14,213 attendance...how many people were actually there and how were the roads/trains?

Now that is called a deuceboer!

They were posted in the GDT in the last few pages I think.

I don't even wanna watch Cory's, I'll get disgusted.

Maybe 9,000? Roads and trains were running fine but the sidewalks around the arena were awful. It's pretty damn icy out there now.

 

[PercivalGraves]

With all their scoring chances jersey's team should have buried the avs not happy about this loss .

Makes no sense to me how a team can have all these chances all year long & still never, ever, ever score.

 

[Incharge1976]

They could get finish the season with more OT losses than Reg losses if they keep this up.

That might be a good thing considering the right race, unless we play EC teams. Cory has only given up 2 reg Ls in Jan which is great! But we have to watch who we give those point to. COL is fine, but if this was one if our division games, yikes.
