Post-Game Talk: Devils Lose Again, Cory's Streak Continues!

[NJDevs26]

Sorry Dano, this was not a good point.

1.) at this point they need two points out of games not 1.

2.) they had a third period lead.

It might have been a okay point if it was KK in net, but another chance to get the gorilla off of Cory goes by the wayside. Not to mention our lovely 0-6 extra time record this year.

 

[MadDevil]

We went with Palmieri, who scored twice in regulation, and Hall, our best player in the shootout. If you want to get on Hynes for OT, that's fine. I don't think we really have a plan for OT.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Let's be fair - he kept the team in it in OT. At least a couple huge saves.

Also, he got beat 2 times tonight imo in regulation. His idiot teammates put three in on their own (and screened him on another). He's also been terrible in the shootout since forever, that's nothing new.

Lets be fair, we wouldn't have been in OT if Schneider wasnt leaking f***ing goals.

 

[Devils Dominion]

mueller + santini >> greene + lovejoy

Hynes should do that if he's fair

Bench players for stupidity

 

[Devilsfan118]

Whoopee doo he actually did his job for a few minutes. I'm not trying to be Bleed but I'm tired of the excuses...WIN ONE!

I don't disagree - it's always something with this team and with Cory.

But I really don't think you can blame Cory for this one. Plenty of others where he's looked like shit but not tonight.

I hope everyone angles their anger at our incompetent captain. He SHOULD be in the press box tomorrow but Hynes doesn't have the f***ing stones to pull that maneuver.

 

[Whaddagoal]

0-4 on breakaways but we score 3 own goals.

This is the one of the most telling storylines of this game, i would say.

This team could have put this game to bed a long time before OT. Gotten Cory a win, and they shit the bed. We're even lucky that Mojo saved their asses again........

 

[Jets012]

Vatanen was also horseshit in that OT.

People really haven't gotten on him enough this year. Just not performing at all

 

[BenedictGomez]

I guess you haven't watched any games this season and realized Severson has been hands down our best defensemen and Butcher has been average at best but sure.

You need to play defense to be a good defenseman. But hey, he has the most points and stuff!

 

[Devilsfan118]

Lets be fair, we wouldn't have been in OT if Schneider wasnt leaking ****ing goals.

See my previous post. Cory got beat twice tonight.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Bad teams find ways to lose games like this. It is what it is. Cant even really be mad at this point. You’d just like to see them stop shooting them selves in the foot so much.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Everyone likes to **** on Cory but I feel bad for him after this one. Cry about Hynes all you want but what a **** show in our own end. We scored 5 ****ing goals and send 3 into our net by ourselves.

I still can't believe Greene batted the puck down and into the net. Who the hell faces and swings TOWARDS the ****ing net to bat a puck away? Just insanity.

This is the same guy who makes stupid plays when he has time on his hands. and shoots endlessly into the crest of goalies, shin pads of forecheckers, or shoots massively wide when he has better options.

He only gave up two goals he should have stopped! Tonight was a extreme example of bad luck goals, but is always why giving multiple of “could have stopped” variety is bad in itself. For a good goalie that needs to be limited to 1 or 0 per game.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

What makes him think Vatanen has been one of our better defenseman? Was solid last year. Really messy performance by him this year

He just can't handle these major minutes. If he was being played like a 4/5, which he is on most teams in the league, he would be very good.

 

[NJDevs26]

No he's not going to because that move never works. It was the beginning of the end of Lemaire here when he tried doing it to Langenbrunner.

And I'm all for making Greene skate suicides, but can we demote him first before scratching him? That would be bold enough since it's not like we're loaded with great options. Mueller who's been struggling since he started getting scratched, Butcher who can't play above third pairing and Yak are our other options.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Hynes will be the coach for the forseeable future because Hall loves him.

Gotta keep the superstar happy. Plus it wouldnt be healthy to the culture to do another coaching change.

But man, Hynes is trash. I dont get how people talk him up when he's just mediocre at best

 

[Bleedred]

Schneider is making how much this calendar year? 6 Million?

What are we paying him? Like 2 million for each point he's gotten us?

I sure know it's not for any of the wins he's grabbed in 2018

I mean, we can say he wasn't a problem in this game and he really didn't have a chance on the 3rd period goals, but once again there were two weak goals in the first period. He's allowed 26 goals this year and 11 have of them been stoppable at the very best. That's over 40% of the goals he's allowing! If he had stopped 6 or 7 of those 11 weak goals, he'd probably at least be respectable right now.

Of course not every goal he allows is a bad one, most goalies are gonna scored on, on MOST nights, but too many of them are. Even after this game, he's an .863% goalie in 6 starts and 8 games played. And I'm pretty sure he's an .860-something goalie in the regular season since December 29th of last year. That's what, 18 starts and maybe a couple relief appearances? Even with his excellent playoff series, I'm not sure he's above .900% since then.

If the only goals he allowed in this game where the weird and unlucky own goals, we won this! We're talking about 2 in a row right now. The team scored 5 goals into the Anaheim nets, the team played a pretty decent game (until OT started) and we only get a point out of it. He's gotta be bought out at the end of the season. We're actually championing him in a game where he allows 5 goals, just because 3 of them were scored by our own team, but the other 2 goals that came off Anaheim sticks were very savable.

At this point of the season if you have a lead with less than 30 minutes to play you have to get two points.

 

[JK3]

This is the same guy who makes stupid plays when he has time on his hands. and shoots endlessly into the crest of goalies, shin pads of forecheckers, or shoots massively wide when he has better options.

The best case scenario on that play is he sends it over the glass for a 5 on 3 haha.

The Lovejoy tip had me pissed enough but Greene batting the puck toward our net really was infuriating

Palmieri has a great slapshot and one timer. A slapper, not shot by Chara, generally don't work in a shootout

 

[Whaddagoal]

Vatanen was also horse**** in that OT.

People really haven't gotten on him enough this year. Just not performing at all

He was playing almost every other shift in OT. I can rag on him for the strategy of playing chicken behind the net too long in OT, yes, but that maybe a coaching strategy.

Outside of that in OT, he is far to blame on defense right now. He's playing average to his best, but there are like 2 defenders in front of him you can point the finger to before him.

 

[Bleedred]

Hynes will be the coach for the forseeable future because Hall loves him.

Part of what's making him look bad is the goaltending, so he gets a pass from me for that.

He is mediocre though.

And I really think it's that jackass Kowalsky that runs the 3 on 3.

 

[haak84]

0-15-3 is beyond excuses. he needs to have more than one game where one goal is beyond reproach. he's getting paid more than most of us will make in a lifetime to lose. win a game.

 

[BenedictGomez]

This team is terribad and it starts with coaching. Nothing is going to change until some or all of the coaching staff is thrown into a meat grinder

Correct.

1) The defense is a mess with no structure, and there's no accountability for mistakes. Worse? It seems all Hynes cares about from his defense is scoring, hence why Severson can have a terrible game and not get benched, or why Yak is playing right now.

2) The PowerPlay is a mess with no structure. The "pass is back" thing is killing their own PP and the other team knows it's coming. They kill roughly 50% of their own PP clock.

3) The OT offense is a mess with no structure. It's genuinely chaotic, and basically an individual free-for-all like open hockey sessions at your local rink.

Hall has literally never played for a good coach! His opinion on the matter should count for 0 because of a situation arose where he subsequently played for a better coach his opinion about Hynes would likely change. He doesn’t know any better.
