GDT: Los Angeles at New Jersey

[Billdo]

Hynes is an idiot. Zacha is the best playmaker he has, we are down 2 goals, and he doesn't even put him with Hall?

Need more Cammalleri brah

 

[Bleedred]

Tough Building. Can't wait till Quincey,Kalinin and Cammy are all gone. Waste of breathable air.

Kalinin's extension is already being printed up, once Shero gets more ink for his printer.

Hynes and company think he's still a legit prospect. We aren't in any position to just punt away a 25 year old forward, that scored 25 points in 58 games in the KHL 2 years ago. Just having a down year.

I made a mistake earlier, I said the next point would be his 4th of the year. He apparently already has 4 points.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That garbage 5 on 3 man.

 

[Bleedred]

Hynes is an idiot.

Quoting just so this is read more.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Oh cmon friend!
Our GDT's are so dead...

I'm coming over just to stare at your avatar more.

 

[JimEIV]

Miles Wood led the team with 5 shots. Cammalleri was 2nd with 4.

Hall had 1, Zajac had 1, Palmieri had 2.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Sounds like a moral victory to me. I don't like those

 

[Bleedred]

Hynes actually didn't lose the team, I think I was wrong on that one.

It just took 7 weeks of getting our **** pushed in to make a change to the system, which is even more of an indictment on him than if he had actually lost the team. As it's not always the coach's fault if he loses the team.

Sounds just like Foligno's inability to change the PK a couple years ago, after 6 or 7 weeks of Greene playing on the wrong side and allowing 1.5 PP goals per game and having a 55% PK rate.

 

[Bleedred]

Sounds like a moral victory to me. I don't like those

We were trailing them by at least 2 goals for 58 minutes of the game.

I doubt we even up Sutter's team in shots if this game was tied or close in score for anything more than that first 90 seconds of the same.

 

[Mike27Devils]

Great 3rd period by Zacha. He looked so dynamic. He is starting to get his confidence up and his play is starting to look reminiscent of the end of last year when he was playing his best hockey. If he keeps it up the points are going to come in bunches.

 

[Zippy316]

I don't like the way they talk about it to the media, but they have been playing much better of late even in the losses.

In games like these it's their execution that's lacking. They're playing good structurally, but not playing smart or make plays when they need to be. Ignoring the early goals and the awful 5-on-3, the rest of the game was solid. Just lacked the execution on the PP/PK tonight. That and finishing their chances.

 

[Bleedred]

Miles Wood led the team with 5 shots. Cammalleri was 2nd with 4.

Hall had 1, Zajac had 1, Palmieri had 2.

Kalinin had 0. Hynes put him out there for an O zone start with 6.5 minutes left to try and get one.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Yeah...we definitely do need to regroup.

 

[Nemec]

Yeah...we definitely do need to regroup.

I hope Cory was winking when he said We

 

[MadDevil]

Reminds me of the Toronto game where we dropped a deuce in the first, got too far behind, but then played better the final two periods. This team just can't afford to spot a team 3 goals in the first.

 

[liquid1988]

That garbage 5 on 3 man.

110% the reason why we never came back...If we atleast scored 1 goal on it it coulda been a different game. It was soul crushing instead.

 

[Cheddabombs]

It's just so deflating considering the standings implications. Instead of keeping pace we drop down to 3rd last (could be 2nd if Buffalo wins) in the East. I mean obviously it's super close still but we've played more than most teams in the hunt, we just need to go on a run. Any 2-3 game slide puts us so far back.

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

So yea ZachaAttacks...you can tell our GDT's are sad.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I hope we get Jurco. That right side makes me sad at least some new blood would be exciting to watch for a bit. And maybe he turns it around.

 

[Wingman77]

Could this be one of the worst passing Devils teams ever?

 

[Jets012]

This team cannot score on the 5 on 5. It's mind boggling. Guys like Henrique and Palmieri are top 6 forwards for us and they do next to nothing producing on the 5 on 5 given all the minutes and opportunities they get. It's a problem.

 

[NJDevs26]

Not to mention the Kings were on a back-to-back

Travis I love you but come back to reality here. You guys didn't compete AGAIN in the first period, you give away so many games with 0-3, 0-4 first periods it's beyond belief.

 

[Bleedred]

I hope Cory was winking when he said We

Cory has allowed A LOT of poor goals this season. Already more than all of last year, but I don't think he could be blamed for any of those goals tonight. Could have controlled a rebound better on one of them.

There's also been games where he played good on paper and allowed a bad goal, like the recent game in Minnesota.

Small sample sizes and single game stats of a poor game, do not always coincide with poor play to the eye test. I think tonight's game was a prime example of that.

Cory deserves to be called out for his play this year, but not in this particular game. Next game, I could easily see him allowing 1 or 2 goals and on something like 30+ shots and allowing a bad goal, which would be good play on paper but not to the eye test. Which would get even for tonight's 3 goals and none being bad. These things have a way of evening themselves out.

This also falls on the coaching staff, still fail to see what they're so good at actually doing. Extend them through 2020-2021 and we might have 9 straight non-playoff seasons.

If Sutter is canned, Shero needs to do whatever he can to bring him here. And if it means firing his boy Powder, then by all means it needs to be done.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Wood's in the green! Improvement!
