GDT: Game #8 - YOUR New Jersey Devils (3-2-2) at the Ottawa Senators (4-1), MSG+2 TV

[goawaygary*]

Just a little perspective. Today was our 8th game of the season. Last year we got our FIRST WIN in the 8th game of the season

10 are for fighting.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

Jagr's bottom teeth are falling out. I'm pretty sure they're fake but it looks funny.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Tonight sort of showed the PK isn't all Sal's fault despite some wanting to have him carry all the blame.

It as issues across the board.

Greene has been pretty bad on the PK ..and in general

 

[MadDevil]

I haven't really paid really close attention to strategy, but are we doing anything differently on the PK this year, or are we just not executing?

Yup...he hasn't been very good at all this season... although he showed some signs tonight of the old Andy Greene from last season.

Perhaps just a slow start?

I'm noticing the DMen are playing way too high for whatever reason

Forwards seem less aggressive too maybe. Don't know

maybe, or maybe he's getting used to his new partner on D and maybe doing too much since he got a big contract and feels he needs to "earn'' it

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Salvador with 14 minutes in penalties. Leads the team in that department. Needs to slow down on those penalties.

Two fighting majors = 10 minutes.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

Losing Volchenkov and Fayne could be part of it as well, although I don't remember how much PK work Fayne was getting. Volch, while he stunk elsewhere was still a pretty critical part of the PK unit.

 

[tr83]

Someone has to photoshop this (or another better picture) NOW

 

[TheUnseenHand]

What can get Zajac going?

Parise.

 

[Emperoreddy]

New D partner doesn't explain the PK mess.

Volch and Fayne were big shot blockers and pretty good and clearing pucks (two things we have problems with, especially clears).

 

[The 29th Pick]

is that Jagr's sig ?

Fayne was getting more PK time last year than he had in the past cause Sal was out.

All good points.

I'm sure he'll settle down soon.

yeah clears are the main concern, and Andy missed a clear right before that 2nd goal
somebody said Greene is playing the opposite side on the PK this year? not sure though

He played the other side tonight then he was when Sal was on, but didn't help him much.

 

[NJDevs26]

is that Jagr's sig ?

I assume so anyway haha...the only other JJ initialed I know of wasn't alive for the Berlin Wall coming down

 

[David Conte]

This is fantastic!

 

[MadDevil]

Elias played 22 minutes tonight? Guess they're really trying to get him going.

Wow did not realize that at all. Ryder did not play much. I know that for sure.
