GDT: Devils vs. Blues - 24 More To Go - 8:00 PM - MSG+

[Emperoreddy]

He’s been in front of the net for all 3 goals preventing none of them.

Darren Pang was calling him out on the Blues broadcast too.

he has been super soft tonight.

 

[Guttersniped]

Damn, Chico is really singling out Severson on the radio. I guess he’s a minus 3 now, and at the heart of our defensive woes in this one.

He’s played 26:30 minutes against a very motivated St Louis Blues team while often being paired with garbage.

He’s not going to fair well as the 1D playing half the game against a top team.

 

[R8Devs]

The myth that he is a good defender needs to die. He can PK. It’s all he can do.

i didn't say that in there? The problem with this team is even with all his warts he's still 5th on the team in scoring. When this team has enough talent to consistently play him on the 4th line they'll be in a better spot.

A lot of guys are ill-suited for the roles they play in this team and it shows that's why I'm okay with blowing it up. No simple fix for this

 

[Emperoreddy]

He’s played 26:30 minutes against a very motivated St Louis Blues team while often being paired with garbage.

And he played poorly.

 

[RNCDevil]

they were this bad with Greene. Greene has been bad this year.

Nah, this is another level of allowing entries and passes. This was Dallas Stars game bad. The whole team has Ebola that day. Today it was just bad all around.

 

[njdevils1982]

yay…its over….goodnight

 

[NJDevils17]

Severson is wildly inconsistent but this was an awful game by him.

 

[MauDevils]

You don't win many games where you score zero goals.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They had 5 D all night. Greene is not the difference.

 

[Guttersniped]

Severson can’t single handedly carry top pairing duty against teams like this. Greene would have helped or even Butcher.

edit: Or better defensemen. That would help at ton.

 

[NjDevsRR]

You don't win many games where you score zero goals.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

It’s a shame Bratt isn’t consistent enough. Could have used some more offensive tonight.

 

[jkrdevil]

A good example of why their should be wariness about removing the interim tag for anyone in this organization right now.

 

[RNCDevil]

They had 5 D all night. Greene is not the difference.

Not saying that. I'm just saying when you have zero defensively reliable blue liners...it might be a mess. The turnovers, gaps, passing...decisions...terrible for every single defender.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

I rarely get to watch games on TV on days in have off from work and I was somewhat excited for tonight's game. Easily one of our worst of the season. So much work needed to be done but who knows where this team is going. We cant even get lottery picks right ffs. Maybe Byfield or whoever we wind up with will actually be a difference maker...

It starts with a proven coach. The team has beer league structure

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

How was Jack Hughes first game as a winger in the NHL? I believe it was the first time he was going to play wing in the NHL.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Get out of here with The plus minus stat. THE ENTIRE TEAM SHOULD BE A MINUS FIVE IF IT WASNT FOR DOMINGUE MAKING CRAZY SAVES. Ridiculous.

Hughes is one of the only few who generated some zone pressure and chances.

He was also less averse to contact, was battling more for pucks and involved in the scrums, not just hanging and throwing the puck away. I think giving him time on the wing from here may be a good idea. He was not our problem tonight.

Not did I see Zacha do anything to draw specific contempt. I mean Severson made some awful plays; Wood was much more visibly useless; Zajac looked his age and really out of place on the ice . . . Really I can’t fault Zacha with anything I remember.

Clearly we are not in the same class with the team that beat us. We were totally dominated from start to finish. And you could see Coleman’s absence too. The second line has vanished. Gusev is hung out there with literally nobody when Zajac looks like he did tonight. We traded our best or second best forward for prospects. Get used to us looking as anemic as this in more games as we limp through the last 20.

That’s been an issue since game 1.

 

[Blackjack]

Damon Severson played almost a half an hour against a relentless forecheck and behind forwards that were absolutely clueless. He might not have had a great game, but anyone that's hanging him for this one is out of their mind.

Hmm, maybe next time let's not scratch one of our best players for reasons that the head coach can't even articulate. Yes, that sounds like a good idea.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

Not anything to good. He did the same things he would do at center except he was higher up the ice.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Lol. Glad we scratched Bratt for Hayden. That helped.

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

I’m sick and tired of reading excuses on top of excuses when talking about Damon Severson.

If the Leafs want him, maybe we can pull a Larsson/Hall type of deal and ask for Nylander.

I’m so tired of watching this guy f*** up in our own zone.
