Post-Game Talk: That was one big pile of... Devils Flyers

[MadDevil]

Was that the worst game of hockey ever played at the NHL level? I think so.

Clearly you haven't seen Detroit this year.

 

[zharkenby]

Nico, Zacha has to step up. Both of them

One has 4 in 6, one has 0....

[Darkauron]

Zomg call up Yak

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

God I hope zajac and bratt are back Thursday. Depth isn't great when you have players line Stafford and Rooney playing top 9 roles.

How does Santini get a broken jaw and literally nobody saw it? Quality TV production work.

 

[haak84]

no reason to sub in rooney for quenneville if thats what rooney provides. he lost a clean faceoff to a winger in the third.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Depth isn't great when you have players line Stafford..... playing at all

Altered it a bit.

The Colorado game was a stiff uppercut.

The Philadelphia game was an Alexander Semin sissy slap. This game was pathetic

 

[Cage Helmet]

Where did you see that?

There was a bit of debate and implication in the GDT. I thought he could have had the Konecny goal. That’s a poor goal on Kinker.

and is stafford married to shero's daughter or something? dude is done.

Yes I have. Every game they played, there was at least one competent team on the ice.

This game was like watching two bad versions of Detroit play eachother.

 

[Cage Helmet]

lol @ the nostalgia for schneider. goaltending has been the absolute least of our problems this season

I thought he should have saved the Konecny shot. The problem is more often than not there’s a puck going in on Schneids in a game over the last two years that we can say the same thing about.

They showed the replay of it like five times. Took a puck to the face.

I think it's more he's feeling the footsteps (KK) than anything else with Cory coming back. But no I don't think Cory would be any better until I actually SEE him be better for more than two or three games in April.

 

[Cage Helmet]

Co-signed. He was terrible last game and he was even worse this game. He’s suffering from a worsening case of hockey player dementia.

Well then Matt and Chico missed the boat, cause they claimed they saw nothing on the MSG feed and I don't remember seeing anything on it on MSGGO the first two periods either, then again the feed did sometimes loop in and out.

I'd say it was Mites On Ice, at the NHL level.

 

[jkrdevil]

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face....not looking good for our coaching staff

 

[BenedictGomez]

Yes, but neither Daneyko or Cangi had any idea the Devils were playing with 5 defensemen until about 3 decades later.

Doc would have sniffed that out in an instant = PRO.

 

[NJDevs26]

And not for nothing but why even bother sending Quenneville down? Might as well have played him at center and not scrambled the lineup even more than it needed to be, it seemed as if from before puck drop the whole team was scrambling, coaching included and it filtered down.

Greene 4 giveaways
Vatanen 3 giveaways
Santini 1 giveaway

Other 3 Dmen had no giveaways.

The forwards combined had 9.

The Denfense combined had 2 shots on Goal. 1 for Severson and 1 for Greene.

Butcher was a -3 for the second straight game but some of that was empty netters in both of the last two.

Vatanen played 7:42 on the PK . Greene 6:07 and he took a penalty

Boyle and Hall led the team in shots on goal with 5 .no one else had more than 2. 4 forwards had none: Johansson, Dea, Wood and Rooney.

They clearly want something from him that he's yet to show enough of to stick as a full time NHL player.

He continued to play smoothly it was hard to know something was wrong.
