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

[RNCDevil]

This was WAY WAY WORSE THAN Mercer's penalty.

 

[JK3]

Rub a dub dub, two bums and a plug.

 

[Emperoreddy]

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

Maybe? Not counting on it though. Feels like they are about out of that juice and ready to go full sulk

 

[JimEIV]

Blackwood has faced 38 shots

Merrill was +4

Your MAC has a low battery.

 

[MauDevils]

But hey, we won the faceoff at least.

 

[Emperoreddy]

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

Just bring someone else in to get lost in this defensive system and black hole of a power play.

A trade will change nothing.

Well at least Jack’s shoulder didn’t fall off after getting t-boned by Fogliono

That was supposed to be this game. They already didn’t come back from a bad effort. They are no good. So it’s not an effort thing. You get spanked at home and then come lay another egg. It’s your talent or team makeup or coaching I don’t know but a good team comes out and makes a statement. They just are not good. They have some nice players but that doesn’t make a good hockey team. Fitz is trying but it’s not working.

Maybe? Not counting on it though. Feels like they are about out of that juice and ready to go full sulk

Shara is a ghost, Kuok is a shell of himself.

Who the f*** do you put Jack with ? lol Vesey and Tatar ?

 

[Emperoreddy]

I feel like we give up +35 shots on a nightly basis

 

[Colin226]

Anyone remember back in that ‘08 - ‘09 season when we’d rattle off winning streaks regularly? I want to travel back to those days

whats this about a butt plug?

Perhaps but I don’t think they have enough size ... their top 6 is tiny and weak. I mean it’s great to have big guys in the 4 th line but they are role players. We r too small. And have been for years.

That line was doomed to fail. Yegor isn't a center so there was zero centers on the 3rd line and 3 centers on Nico's.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Talking about who we can get in the draft should be surfacing soon.

 

[JimEIV]

Penalty Kill was a perfect 4 for 4 so there's that?

 

[glenwo2]

That's on Rango/Bratt.

That was on MBW.

No, it's not. Bratt was basically in the neutral zone instead of covering up the trailer shot.

Even so, Mac needs to make that save.

He has not been good lately.

Also, that's not to excuse the rest of the team that played like Garbo tonight.

This team can’t put two in a row together.

 

[Bleedred]

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

I think if he's fired this year, it's gonna be a while.

Still don't think he's back here for a minute of 2023-2024 if we miss the playoffs these next two years. There's still about 140-some odd games for that.

If we make the playoffs one of these next two years, he probably gets an extension like Hynes did and maybe even in the middle of a poor season like Hynes got in 18-19.

I don't even know how many years he's signed for, but just going by his age, I doubt he got a 5 year contract. It's probably 3-4 years. And he could have even gotten extended already, since coaches don't have to wait a year before their free agency to get an extension. They can be extended at any time.

I highly doubt he's gotten an extension though, unless his first contract was only for 1-2 years.

Having Marty in Goal kind of helped in that regard.

 

[Mgd31]

Tatar was our best player tonight

 

[ScottyK]

I was hoping to wait until at least January

[Emperoreddy]

This team is not ready to play early in games way way way too often.

It's even worse that they had a bag skate yesterday and still didn't come out ready to go.
