GDT: Devils vs Jets - Eeyore Edition - 7:00 PM - MSG+2

[captainscott]

i dont think coaches really tell players to chip it out in ot.

anyway they wouldn't have tied the game if it wasn't for him so whatever. he'll learn.

no its all about possesion and good line changes.. they played the entire ot tired.. why not throw some fresh legs out.. seney.. bratt... coleman... all seem pretty responsible with puck in my eyes.. more so than hall in most cases..

 

[NjDevsRR]

Nico is the #1 OA pick. He has to take it to the net and bury it on one of those chances. Stop passing up chances.

 

[VoidCreature]

Hischier criticism is over the top right now.

Yes, he should have shot, and he did get bodied by a much bigger, older and stronger player in Schiefele, but he came back and negated the 2 on 1.

Hall just kind of floated around.

We lose in OT as a team. I don't know if it's coaching or energy level or what but we look like a pewee team in the 3 on 3.

 

[haak84]

when do you ever see 3v3 a player chipping it out of the zone when he has possession and 2 opposing players are behind him. i doubt any player in the nhl is going to chip it out in that situation.

if he had possession he woulda retained possession. he was gassed and didnt have control. judt chip it out.

 

[Billdo]

Palmeri is extremely 1 dimensional...People were actually trying to argue that he is a top line RW on most teams in the league. He's good but I would be surprised if he put up more than 55 points on a good year without Hall.

He is statistically a top line RW, we've gone over this. He already also put up more than 55 his first year here, without Hall fwiw. He's flawed, that's obvious. He's also a top 30 RW.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

So what numbers do we need to get to make it to the playoffs? What is the usual cut off? Around 95 points isn't it?

We must be close to getting to do or die mode.

This team is not making the playoffs

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Nico is the #1 OA pick. He has to take it to the net and bury it on one of those chances. Stop passing up chances.

Thats likely what he is COACHED to do

Hischier, to anyone who watched him pre-draft, obviously has stepped back in his aggression since joining the Devils.

I promise you Hynes' system devours individual offensive skill when its not a Taylor Hall rush-style goal

he overplays the same guys too much.. its on the coaches the lazy cross ice passing is all about exhaustion.. that ot is on hynes.. yeah made a very mundane play and the wrong play but if shoots and the rebound kicks out its the same result.. i wont' kill him ther.

 

[JimEIV]

I am not going to jump any player for 3 on 3. One bounce and it's going the other way on an odd man rush. It is silly and hardly resembling anything close to hockey.

 

[R8Devs]

if he had possession he woulda retained possession. he was gassed and didnt have control. judt chip it out.

what? schiefele took the puck away from him. there's literally an entire stat behind that called takeaways. ot is all about possession no ones chipping it out of the zone.

3v3 is a completely different game compared to 5v5/4v4 especially in matters of sudden death

 

[Lou is God]

no you are quite astute the jets had the puck the entire time..

I'm not just talking about this OT but all of them this season. Every Devils OT it seems like the other team is Harlem Globetrotters on Ice and we're pathetically chasing them like we're the Washington Generals.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Hall's pissed, and seems just annoyed with the silver lining moral victory trash.

 

[MadDevil]

Saying Nico had a bad OT is not the same as bashing him or doubting his potential. He's a smart kid. I'm sure he'll learn.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Nothing drives me nuts more than saying games are “all on him” taking context of the entire game out for one or two plays.

Maybe, just maybe, if we didn’t come out for the 3rd flat as shit for the first 10 minutes when it’s a 1-1 game, things could have played out differently as well.

Yes the end result sucked. And this season continues to be disappointing. But....well we clawed back from a 2 goal deficit in the 3rd so that’s promising!

 

[NJDevs26]

Hall's pissed, and seems just annoyed with the silver lining moral victory trash.

He better be pissed he was just as awful as anyone

 

[captainscott]

Every game has been painfully predictable.

yeah pretty much know whats gonna happen or how its gonna go down before it does... i didn't think they would fight back for the point but it really doesn't matter... .. we need another top pick truthfully a true stud defensman is what we need.. and if we gotta finished bottom 5 to get it im all good with it..

 

[guitarguyvic]

He is a top line RW. Check the numbers.

I’d say he’s more suited for second line.

He’s a fairly un-dynamic player. Reminds me of Clarkson but with a much much better shot and slightly better skating.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

The MSG crew talking about hard fought victories, still gaining a single point and how there is a lot of hockey left to go.

 

[johnny pierogi]

Well the good news is the schedule gets pretty easy.

Tampa, California trip, Vegas, Nashville, Toronto, Columbus x2

buckle up!

right an entire stat that nico dominates in. he wants to make the safe predictable play on a 2 v 0 and then be superman when he can easily chip it out. he know he f***ed up. its fine. hell learn. im sure of it

 

[Fear the Wushu]

in 2015 we could have moved back 12 f***ing spots to 17 and selected Connor. f*** you Conte.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Lol compare Greene's bullshit interview to Hall's. Greene's comes across as just going through the motions, Hall's as someone who just wants to win.

You mean they're doing what they're paid to do? The horror!

That is different than being a top line RW on MOST teams. I do think he is a top line RW, however I think he is most definitely in the bottom 3rd of that list.

 

[captainscott]

So what numbers do we need to get to make it to the playoffs? What is the usual cut off? Around 95 points isn't it?

We must be close to getting to do or die mode.

you can forget that.. this team is not making the playoffs.. but i would say they need about a 5 games winning streak starting yesterday to get back into the convo.. and this team is not capable of a 5 game winning streak...for a number of reasons so .. don't kid yourself.. i would love to fast forward to the trading deadline right now.. we need a defensman really badly.. shero needs to be more aggressive in finding this team a defensman.. and big winger ...
