GDT: Devils vs Leafs - 80's Night! - 7:00 PM - MSG+

[Bleedred]

The players all really liked Mac too.

I don't remember them ever saying anything particularly great about him like they do Hynes.

Other than ''We feel so bad that we got him fired, boo hoo'' and all that. Marty even accidentally buried the guy (though he probably didn't mean to) by saying ''There's no strategy, we just put our skates on and go out there''. RIP to the old Gulitti blog or I could dig up the exact quote.

That doesn't mean I think Hynes should have a job based on that though.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Perfect example of how this team doesnt give a f***

3 minutes left, Toronto isnt pressuring and... and... Palmieri dumps it in and all five players make a change.

Apparently passing it back to the defense and changing 3-4 isnt a thing

 

[BenedictGomez]

Only thing worse than missing the wide angle shot on a powerplay is missing the wide angle shot with an empty net.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Babcock controlled that 3rd, what can you do? We were challenged to make something in that period and we’re not talented enough to do it.

At least we made it a game. It was looking grim after 1 here.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

that was lemaire-esque. and they managed to outshoot the bejesus out of us too

That's just how ******* pathetically untalented our team is. Toronto sucks defensively. A team like philly would have torn that neutral zone play to shreds, and they are garbage. The lack of talent to stick handle, pass and shoot on this team is frankly offensive to me as a fan.

 

[JimEIV]

The Nico line was very bad... I don't understand why Hynes can't make in game changes..

 

[MartyOwns]

i’m sorry there’s no way we had 29 shots lol

 

[Blender]

Devils suck, what else is new?

 

[MadDevil]

It's hard getting any kind of offense going when you're spending more time in your own end. By the time they get it out they're tired and need to change.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Clinic on how to defend a lead.

Of course, it helps when we're running a pop gun offense.

Yes, completely missing from our team all season. Whenever we get a goal, or two goal lead? Guess what, we don't change a thing. Tight lead in the 3rd period? Devils still play the same way (under Hynes) as if they've got nothing to defend..

Absolutely right on money. For whatever positive HYnes brings, he (or his staff) are one group of stubborn guys. They don't adapt well.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Don't understand why Hischier was matched up against Matthews all game since he always totally owns Nico. Oh well...

Our coach is a f***ing idiot. What else needs to happen for people to realize this?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

It's possible. The leafs defense blows. They played a pretty crap game and pretty much every other NHL team would have beat them tonight. Problem is they only had to play an AHL squad.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Rock bottom is when you're jealous of the Leafs defense.

You can say that again.... Brutal.

 

[MartyOwns]

Our coach is a ****ing idiot. What else needs to happen for people to realize this?

coaching is one problem. one of many. when are you going to realize that?

 

[Cage Helmet]

Would have been better off only scoring one or none with the snoozeglide through period #3. It makes the coaches look better and Hiney Head can have his moral victory and ramble about how great we played and how well our composure and attention to detail was and look validated in getting the team to bounce back from the disaster in BUF. This was the BUF game with better tending.

 

[JimEIV]

coaching is one problem. one of many. when are you going to realize that?

I think the coaching is a pretty big problem.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I'm near my breaking point with this team.

Can't take much more of this.

Hynes being extended was just the cherry on top for me.

The one massive feather Hynes has in his cap is motivating Hall to become a league MVP. That makes me want to take a chance on a guy like Duchene. Like Hynes do the one thing he's actually good at and get that guy playing with passion.

 

[Whaddagoal]

And stared at the puck waiting for a Leaf to touch it on that delayed offside. You're killing your own clock, kid.

He'll learn.

We didn't have our clutch Mojo to save us this time...

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Kinkaid played well. That’s all I got.

 

[ScottyK]

Hopefully Dreger is right an the sell off starts soon

 

[Whaddagoal]

Kinkaid played well. That’s all I got.

for 2 periods.........well, i guess you can't pin most of the 1st period goals on him either.... so i guess maybe yes.

That is not sustainable though.... you can't ask Pro's to run through a wall every night.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I think the coaching is a pretty big problem.

It certainly is, but our defense, coaches aside, is one of if not the worst in the league. We knew this coming into the season. You can't work miracles with that. I thought the forwards would be better, and I think we have more than what we are showing offensively. That said, our bottom 6 is more or less and AHL squad, so that doesn't help.

That's not even on Hynes. That's more on Shero since Shero was the one that had a talk with him about growing up and getting over the trade and if he wants to be on a playoff team he needs to up his game. Not the idiot behind the bench.

3 out of 4 seasons of horrible hockey that started off well then went to shit shows he is a garbage ass coach that can't motivate shit.
