GDT: IT'S A BAD TIME, BOB! Your New Jersey Devils (0-2-1) vs. Edmonton Oilers (3-0-0)

[RandoDoomer]

Well, this start sure took the wind out of my enthusiasm and optimism for the season. I'll be watching, but geez, I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I won’t watch a minute of this game if Rooney and/or Hayden are playing.

(Who am I kidding..)

 

[glenwo2]

I just hope they have some fun out there.

god speed to anyone who is still tuning in to this disgrace. best of luck.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Wish this was on Friday night so I could get lit without having to worry about getting up for my 9am meeting

 

[glenwo2]

god speed to anyone who is still tuning in to this disgrace. best of luck.

I'm not.

I DVR this sh-t, then watch it later if I see that the Devils won (Final Score).

If they didn't win, I don't watch and just delete the recording.

Still a bit peeved when I heard that Bratt was nowhere near the 5-on-3 PP, though, last game.

 

[New Jersey]

We'll win tonight...

Then drop three of the next four.

 

[Tundra]

My ticket rep hasn't been calling me lately. This to be a damper on their sales.

 

[New Jersey]

I low-key hope we get shutout again.

Six goals in four games would be so f***ing good, oh my god.

I desperately want a win, but I know that, with a win, comes a small click of slack on Hynes’ leash.

Exactly. I'm not sure if I want this team to start winning games with John Hynes behind the bench.

 

[RandoDoomer]

On the plus side, NJ has updated their MMJ criteria...

Is that the sound of crickets coming from the sales department?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Man, really is a tough crowd in here.

For those abandoning ship 3 games in, god speed.

As far as Hynes goes, the mantra from virtually everyone involved was playoffs or bust. Even in a tight conference and even if we start to make it competitive, if we don't make it, I wouldn't be shocked to see him go.

This is a long ass season, it's better to hope they bust out of their slump sooner than later. Support the goddamn team just like Puddy says.

 

[New Jersey]

I genuinely feel bad for the younger reps getting paid lousy salaries to try and convince people to spend their money to watch this dumpster fire.

 

[devilsblood]

I desperately want a win, but I know that, with a win, comes a small click of slack on Hynes’ leash.

I hope we win, and then continue to win, so that any concerns I have regarding Hynes are proven incorrect.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Yes. A night of oil and blood.

Great flick

 

[mtnet]

They're going to drink our milkshake

I'd be fine with this, but I think it's illusory. I'm starting to flip on Hynes; I don't think he's a good coach.

[JrFischer54]

its probably been mentioned but gritty had a pretty sharp tweet about the devils "we are the ones" line after last night.

[MartyOwns]

I just hope they have some fun out there.

i’m rooting for both teams to just have a nice time playing with their friends

What, over the last 5 years, has Hynes done to make you feel that he's going to get guys in the right position to succeed?

I'm out of patience. Nothing changes from Hynes except how loud he screams, "Try harder."

 

[New Jersey]

f***'s sake, I'd probably take Roy Hodgson to be the coach of this hockey club at this point. Thoughts? Anyone?

Hey folks - first things first, let's all hope for no injuries.

But on to the game... our 5v5 shooting % is astronomical right now from Neal, so a bit lucky. But our goaltending 5v5 is bottom 1/3 through the first week of the season. Which is unfortunately realistic.

We go as McDavid and Drai go.

Have liked watching what Gusev brings thus far, very talented.

Hoping for a 5-4 OT game to at least give us all some drama
