Post-Game Talk: San Jose Sharks vs New Jersey Devils: Moore Risky Business

[Bleedred]

I know I'll be reading about how we struggle against big and strong teams, or that we can't beat Pete or some other stuff, but the bottom line is we're (probably) gonna lose this game because the puck just wasn't going in for us tonight, and it was going in for them. We also probably don't have anything left in the tank for tonight.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Just a rough night. What really sucks is that I have to run into work around midnight tonight for about an hour after this...

 

[Alex NJD]

Did Wood get benched? TBH really wouldn't mind him getting some AHL time

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Johansson is just bad. Very very bad

Was the best player on the ice last night.

 

[R8Devs]

Did Wood get benched? TBH really wouldn't mind him getting some AHL time

yea he hasn't played since his penalty

 

[Blender]

Yeah they are out of gas.

They are, but I don't like Hynes' ice time management tonight. Some of our bottom 6 guys who didn't play as much last night should have been used a lot more early in the game, instead he ran our top 6 into the ground 5on5 again through the first two periods. All the penalties didn't help of course.

 

[Bleedred]

I knew we would hate Hayes very quickly.

I hated him as soon as the PTO was announced. I said he probably wasn't as bad as he was last year, but he's also not any good either.

 

[Its a Trap]

Was the best player on the ice last night.

Uh...no he wasn’t.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Gosh Hayes is kind of slow for this team.

Yeah, this game is by no means as one-sided as it seems. It's a Murphy's law game.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Severson just missed the net by 5 feet from only 15 feet out.

 

[MauDevils]

Breaking up our own passes, blocking our own goals. Just one of those games.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Severson just missed the net by 5 feet from only 15 feet out.

I loudly yelled at him for that.

 

[Zippy316]

Devils didn't strike when they had the chances. Sharks did.

That's basically the story of this game.

Now they just look frustrated and ready for this to be over.

 

[Bleedred]

All the penalties didn't help of course.

I don't like that he pairs Lovejoy and Moore together, or that he even had to play Lovejoy at all. It makes me think that he believes we gave up 4 goals last night because we weren't good defensively. We didn't exactly channel our 95 Devils, but Cory allowed 2 terrible goals, that we don't even notice any gaffe's on if he would have saved them.

They've done a good job at keeping Lovejoy away from the big line. They've done a good job at keeping him out of most games. So I'm pretty sure they must know he's bad, and that's why they've kept him out of 5 of the first 8 games.

Though still too many penalities. PK was much better but all that short handed time messes with the flow

 

[Bleedred]

If there's one thing Severson is terrible at, it's that his shot probably wouldn't even hurt a fly.

Which is ironic, considering the way it looked in his first handful of games, when he had 4 goals.

 

[Bleedred]

Hopefully the Sharks beat the shit out of the Piles of shit tomorrow night.

 

[Tretyak 20]

The moral of the story is... when Pete DeBoer is involved, the Devils always lose.

Can't argue with that.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Sharks were rested, we gritted out a comeback win in Canada last night. That’s all it boils down to.

They were a couple steps ahead of us tonight. All things considered, whatever.

6-2. That’s still ****ing dope.

 

[R8Devs]

6-2-0 with 30 goals scored. can't complain they have to lose at some point and if you're going to lose it's better to lose to a western conference team. didn't get the bounces tonight

 

[Blender]

So now we have a week off for some reason.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Honestly they could use some extended practice time to clean up some sloppy shit.

It boggles my mind he scored 9 goals in his career and 5 were in his rookie year. How did he score 5 in one season? I remember one of them, the others must have been empty netters. There is no way he ever scores 10 in a season. Hell getting 5 again is a stretch.

I can't believe I lost betting the over
