GDT: Buffalo Sabres (5-8-2) vs. Your New Jersey Devils (6-5-2), 7 PM, MSG+

[AfroThunder396]

Quite honestly the only players I want on the ice are Hughes, Wood, Johnsson, Severson, Smith, and Blackwood. Everyone else can suck my ass right now.

 

[The 29th Pick]

at least Nico can win some faceoffs

 

[billingtons ghost]

Problem is we are the team lacking confidence right now.

...OR maybe too much wrongly placed confidence?

I'm wondering where that team went that was making the simple smart play? It seems like every trip up the ice now has to contain a backhand no look drop pass at the opponents blueline that comes back the other way. Why are we forcing crap instead of just going north and south with speed like the kids were doing?

It seems like Nico, Bratt, Hughes, Zacha, Zajac, Johnsson, Gusev and especially Vats are all trying to complete complicated low-percentage passes and are just not polished/practiced enough at this point to pull them off, so it is giveaway-city out there.

 

[Devilsfan992]

That’s how bad our PK is. It made the other team get a laugh.

Zajac is cooked.

Should be pinned in the locker room.

 

[billingtons ghost]

Yeah. I was rooting for anyone to score at the end there, I was happy Goose did and I was happy Zacha got an assist. Garbage time my ass, the team REALLY wanted one, and the Sabres really wanted to get Ullmark the SO. Why the f*** can't we just be happy that they had a little success there at the end? I know this game was frustrating but I swear to god sometimes.

Right. Any opportunity to crap on something. They spoiled the shutout. Better than rolling over.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I don’t blame them for laughing. The PK is a joke. I have never seen anything like it.

Bratt?

 

[Devils090]

No where near enough traffic in front of the net this game. Ullmark saw everything coming his way.

41 saves and he barely broke a sweat

 

[NJDevs26]

Bratt?

Still at zero goals right? But hey that CORSI looks good

 

[Jack Be Quick]

…a rose by any other name still stinks...

A rose is a rose.

Steve Aoki and Diplo still don't make techno.

 

[billingtons ghost]

Bratt?

Needs to be put with Hughes, IMHO. Those two are dangerous together.

 

[The 29th Pick]

if life is a bowl of cherries, this must be the pits

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Still at zero goals right? But hey that CORSI looks good

and Goose has 2 and both were meaningless with an empty cage but sure

this is why just using stats without any context is a terrible idea.

Right? People bitch Gusev hasn't scored, then he scored two goals and its "garbage goals" "useless goals" etc. This page is too often doom and gloom. It's annoying.

What did Kulikov and Murray do to get on your sh!t list lol.
I think both have been very good

but like, thats our entire point lol

just because a player has more goals (Goose vs Bratt) does not mean they have been better overall this season. You aren't actually suggesting that Goose has been better, are you?

 

[NJDevs26]

I don't think any defenseman gets a pass right now considering how craptacular the PK is. Except Ty Smith, who doesn't play on the PK.

 

[My3Sons]

It’s time to strike while the iron is hot. Move Gusev.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

Anyone think this was our worst game this season ? Somehow we outshot Buffalo too. The coaching staff and the players were awful tonight. Blackwood probably should of had the 3rd goal but he has literally been our best player almost every game he has played. He literally has stole us wins against Boston but when we play teams like Buffalo and pull shit like this its so frustrating.

 

[tr83]

We turned into a pumpkin again!

 

[AfroThunder396]

Bratt?

I'd put Bratt in there, clearly snakebitten but he's the only guy on the team other than Hughes who knows how to enter the goddamned zone.

 

[glenwo2]

It spins both ways. Zacha is either thr worst player ever or better then Bratt.

The truth is in the middle, but this place is incapable of having middle reasonable takes.

The only middle reasonable take is that we are not a Playoff team, never was a Playoff team, and never will be a Playoff team this year.

edit:

never heard of these people nor did i mention them……but looking them up i wouldnt call them techno


still, techno is last on my taste in music….right beside new country

[The Wumpus]

Zacha has a point in 9 of the last 10 games, is tied for second on the team in scoring, and is only two points behind Hughes.
