GDT: Rangers at Devils 7pm EST

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

It's 2 of the best. Bratt's right there.

11-12 Kovy has to be up there, we win the Cup if DeBoer doesn't decide to have his usage as a defenseman in the regular season and destroying his entire back for the playoffs.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Panarin doing intoxicated Russian things. No one is surprised.

 

[Camille the Eel]

It’s hilarious reading the Rangers post game thread - with their record this year - but they are bitterly criticizing Fox and Panarin as turn over machines and Gallants coaching too. There’s no joy in Mudville. You would think it’s our board after a blowout loss. Lol. Satisfying though. We really rattled them tonight it seems.

 

[Bleedred]

Tatar definitely looks to declining and is no longer a 20 goal scorer, but with the assumption that he produces like this again next year, why the need to get him off the team so bad?

If he can do this again next year he’d be an awesome 3rd liner.

Their record is only good because of Shesterkin having the best goalie season since 99' Hasek + their power play is going at like a 40% rate since January, they're atrocious 5v5. Good thing they're running into the team that Devils are building like in the Penguins round 1. Also Gallant has been atrocious, he apparently benched Laf tonight again in the third for a time period.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Well by trashing Tatar today in another thread we clearly triggered this fine game. Karmic reverse psychology or something.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Mentioned it at the start of the game. I have no qualms with Tatar. He gives everything every shift.

He's 210 in 5v5 P/60 among forwards and T177th in 5v5 pts. He's more than fine as a 3rd liner.

Yeah they were bitching about the Lafreniere benching. Hard to see a game through another team’s fan’s eyes sometimes.

 

[Maine Fan]

Because they are the hated rivals and you show up for these games. If I was in the area I’d be there.

Hi Dave,

Not sure how this new forum works. I haven't adjusted to it as of yet. Did you have a problem with the Tornado in NO? I hope not. Stay safe and well.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Why? Is she a ranger fan? I know she covers both for the Athletic, but I've never really seen a bias against the Devils or anything

She's been very good with her coverage since Corey got moved to the SJS beat, but she is in fact a massive Rangers fan. Tweeting Rangers PK pairs and PP lines but not the Devils, dogs named after Rangers players, whole nine yards. I mean it's our own fault for not having a fanbase big enough to justify a beat writer, but it still stings for me at least.

 

[OmNomNom]

Going through Elden Ring so this is fitting.

Didn't expect weak foe

Is this a dog?

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

How did Subban play tonight?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

They're the worst franchise in the league in terms of developing talent too, such bullshit they lucked into Fox and Panarin.

[Fear the Wushu]

This, but instead of a pottery wheel it's The Cup.

Why would you do this. This image needs to be deleted from the internet. I say this as an unapologetic fan of Ghost, this is just too far.

 

[Hisch13r]

How did Subban play tonight?

He had a f***ing BOMB for a goal. Pretty good game

 

[OmNomNom]

I'll say it again, Mercer only trailing a 26 year old rookie playing with arguably the best player in the world and another guy on a 105 pt pace in primary pts and #1 in primary pts among the 2020 class this year.

Who's the 26 yr old rookie?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Any Devils fan who went to this game tonight deserves the result, I wouldn't have gone to this game in a million years considering the situations of the teams going in.

 

[Hisch13r]

Who's the 26 yr old rookie?

Bunting

 

[OmNomNom]

Bunting

Oh wtf why'd the yotes let him go

Lol some guy on there calling Fox a PP specialist multiple times. So awesome

 

[Better Call Sal]

I love me some Tatar. I love any guy that suits up in our uniform. Even GEERT.

But Nico is my favorite Devil right now by a wide margin. He does everything you want and he does it all quite well. I’m so glad he’s wearing the C.

 

[Saugus]

Any Devils fan who went to this game tonight deserves the result, I would have never gone to this game in a million years considering the situations of the teams going in.

Also these games tend to bring out the worst in both fanbases. I have no interest in dealing with the Joey Bagadonuts meatheads, even during a blowout win.

 

[Hisch13r]

Oh wtf why'd the yotes let him go

I don't know. His SH% was outrageous last year at over 26%. He had 10 goals 3 assists in 21 games. I guess they were betting on him just hitting a hot streak but even then why not just give him a chance. You're Arizona and he signed for less than a million for 2 years.
