GDT: Devils @ Wild - 8:00 PM - MSG+2

[JK3]

Team has a loooong way to go.

 

[Bleedred]

Blackwood needs to sit for awhile.

If Bernier gives a good game tomorrow Ruff HAS to play him on Monday too.

Goaltending can get coaches fired and Blackwood since Ruff took over is probably a .905%-ish goalie?

 

[MauDevils]

Nico does nothing and Jack just turns it over. That sequence about sums those two up lately.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Coaching staff has to go.

 

[captainscott]

Tatar is the only guy that came to play

That last shift before the 5th goal was typical Devils offense. Have a ton of possession in the Wild end. Novak and Rango skating around with the puck looking to pass at all costs. They fart around with it for 20 seconds, trying like hell to find someone to pass to and have zero interest in getting a shot for themselves then lose possession and Minnesota goes right down and scores.

 

[Chrisinroch]

Is blackwood even in net or is that a holo?

Are you fuqing serious?!? You think this loss is on Blackwood??

Ruff is going to get fired on his own merits.

 

[billingtons ghost]

Ryan Hartman is almost on an 82 point pace. Go figure. 13 goals - holy wow.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Suban firing wide is getting to be a joke now

 

[Bleedred]

That one was bad, nearly a full step cheating to the short side.

He hasn't been good since the goalie coaching change.

It was seriously the most unnecessary change Fitz has made here.

I don't understand why and I still wanna know if we paid Melanson to sit home at all or if his contract was just up and he just said see ya and wanted to hire his own guy.

 

[RNCDevil]

Siegs..rough one...amazing.
Another year wasted. Please don't waste Hamilton's career.

 

[TonySoprano]

lost 7 of 9

Don't hold your breath, not saying that to be snarky but Ruff isn't going anywhere for a while.

 

[Emperoreddy]

No way I am watching the post game and Dano talk about how he saw good things.

 

[MauDevils]

A bunch of dolphins out there. What am I watching?

 

[captainscott]

Minnesota played very well so some of it’s that. But as we can clearly see this team is nowhere near ready to compete for a playoff spot. I do think they GM has to bring in some kind of experience or we will be building for another 2/3 years. They have enough in the system to trade guys.

 

[RNCDevil]

How the F is that not a penalty?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

When Hughes and Nico are at their best, we’re pretty average. When they play like this…we are not even remotely close to average.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Do they have enough spine to bounce back tomorrow night or are they going to sulk?

 

[Bleedred]

Are you fuqing serious?!? You think this loss is on Blackwood??

I think it was certainly his worst game of the year.

He could have stopped goal 1. Goal 4 was on nobody BUT him and goal 5 was not great. His angle on that was just poor.

No chance on goals 2 and 3.

You'd have to be a pretty good homer to say he played well tonight. The defense was bad too. Guys were getting coned (mostly Graves) and we allowed a lot of shots.

 

[captainscott]

No way I am watching the post game and Dano talk about how he saw good things.

Yeah it’s not going to bring you any value.

It's just hard to do anything other than a depth player type trade at this point in the season. No GM is gonna want to blink first before prices have been set.

Hopefully a straight up hockey trade can be found

Team will not win games with these consistently bad starts.
