GDT: Beat the Phockers: Your New Jersey Devils (3-1-1) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (3-2-1), 7 PM, MSG+

[Devils090]

5 to 1 in power plays give me a f***ing break

this was 1000x worse than the Rags game

 

[Camille the Eel]

we made a couple real bad errors in our end on their goals 3 and 4 - cost us the game.

 

[Sheros expletives]

Johnsson had his best game by far. Gusev looked hot. PK who was very good last game followed it up by a real stinker. Hughes buzzing. Smith not looking as cool headed as usual.

Edit: and yeah the refs was very one-sided tonight.

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

at this point if Subban doesn't retire....he needs to play 3rd pairing minutes. 12 mins per game with NO special teams play.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

I don't consider this a game that the Flyers beat us, I think the Refs did.

 

[Devs3cups]

Not one to blame the refs, but this one was noticeably bad.

 

[HughJazz3dg]

I’m almost on board with the idea of benching Subban for Vatanen instead of Tennyson lmao. Tomorrow I’m sure I’ll have a more positive outlook.

 

[Hughes86Hischier13]

subban is awful.

 

[OmNomNom]

Carrick could give us a lower-risk version of what Subban's bringing right now.

Discuss.

i'm for it - what do we play subban for? his CF/60 is good enough for 7th on the team, but if you look at his fenwick stats? 15th!

meaning all his shots are f***ing blocked

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Subban seems to have this idea that if he just puts his head down and takes a blind slap shot everytime it’s gonna go through everyone and perfectly into the net somehow.

 

[beekay414]

So I thought I got the refs completely bending my team over out of the way the other night but apparently not

 

[Devs3cups]

Overall? Good game by the guys. Lots of chances. Hughes created some offense, the 4th line was buzzing once again. Smith's toughest game so far, but that's to be expected by young d-men once in a while and it wasn't even THAT bad. He's still been solid and I've been impressed by his poise and overall play. The young guys are progressing, that's good to see.

Keep in mind we're missing Nico, Bratt, Vats and Mac right now, and we're playing pretty damn well, can't wait till they get back, should be fun, and guys should also play a more fitting role with 3-4 huge pieces like that coming in.

 

[Comparison Ford]

also my god Johnsson looked like a COMPLETELY different player after that Zajac goal

 

[Camille the Eel]

for them Provarov was a stud. Giroux as always. They were really throwing pressure at Smith. Thought he handled it pretty well despite that gaffe on their fourth goal. Where he wasn’t really under pressure l o l

 

[haak84]

Thought the devils were the better team.

Gusev really picked it up after he got paired with Hughes.

 

[Auto Pilot]

List of penalties they never called that couldve. First noticeable one was hughes being tripped at the red line in the second. Even Keith Jones and the other Flyers guy said he got cut down and no call.
Tennyson being tripped in the third, hughes being elbowed in the third, Severson having his stick held in the third

 

[BurntToast]

PK can’t hit the net to save his life. His passes lay 5 feet from their targets. If I was a coach and anyone tried a drop pass, I’d make them do laps after the game. Always move towards the net..

 

[Emperoreddy]

Benching PK would be stupid, but they need to start using him less on special teams.

 

[Satans Hockey]

We were a post away from having a 3-2 lead in the 3rd. Hard to get too angry about this loss. Penalties absolutely killed us again, some were bs too, even more so cause the Flyers definitely took more than the only penalty that was actually called against them.

Wedgewood played well enough too.

 

[tr83]

Subban seems to have this idea that if he just puts his head down and takes a blind slap shot everytime it’s gonna go through everyone and perfectly into the net somehow.

That's if he even shoots it. I'm sick of the huge windup and a pass. It fools nobody.

 

[My3Sons]

Smith’s gaffes were mostly sloppy passes and some open space indecision to my eyes. He was pressured at times but to me his mistakes were largely self inflicted.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I'm upset they blew it after being tied and having some great looks. I'm upset the penalty kill continues to be atrocious. But overall, not a terrible game. They showed some fight, some guys started to look better notably Johnsson looked like an NHL player in the 3rd, and it was a game they hung in when they would've folded last year.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

honestly i feel great about our team, even tonight. scoreboard was absolutely not an indication of play. we made a couple mistakes and hit a couple posts. for the most part, i liked our game.

we’re making the playoffs by the way. i believe

Why the heck not? Once we get Nico, Bratt and Vats back we will be a more talented team that is well coached.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

on the plus side, I believe Bratt can join the team tomorrow if all goes well testing wise
