Post-Game Talk: Washington disaster

[Devils Dominion]

What did he have, 45 seconds of icetime?

Send the kid back to Bing please

 

[Cult of Hynes]

0/5 PP and only 2 shots on a 5 minute PP lol.

 

[JimEIV]

I only watched the 3rd but they were physically abused.

Wood played 7:40 -McLeod 5:36

Wtf is even the point in that?

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I never thought it would be as bad as it once was but here we are again.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Ray's Plan is chasing away the fanbase

I don't see a desire to win this season, especially if he keeps Hynes

He wasn't expecting regression from guys like Wood, Butcher, Noesen, Vatanen. Johansson hasn't played up to snuff although he's been better as of late. We're still not getting enough of of the 2C spot. We'll see what happens

 

[NJDevs26]

We need new goalies. Kinkaid and Schneider is an awful tandem.

Keith would be alright if he wants to stay as the backup, but he's not consistent enough to be a quality starter.

Cory's done.

Granted this kind of game has been the exception rather than the norm since February but Keith's never had a full season as a starter. If he starts having more of these games then that's just more proof he shouldn't be anything more than a platoon goalie.

That tells us fans that winning isn't on utmost importance

the coaching is about 4th or 5th on the list of moves i would make

 

[Devils Dominion]

if this continues, i dare the organization to raise my sth price for next season.

They prob will

Now Ticket Prices Rise

It really isn't if you're Shero and you're aware of the personnel.

 

[bobilly45]

Hopefully now that we are done with nov and have more home games in dec they can get on a roll.

I mean you HAVE to look at coaching when so many guys are underachieving. How many guys can you honestly look at and say they're playing well? Coleman? Maybe you can debate Palm, Zajac and Nico. Hall's had a lot of empty points this year mostly off of Palm's great start.

 

[Whaddagoal]

The worst place on the ice to turn the puck over is the two blue lines, and we do it constantly every game. When you turn the puck over there, you allow the opponent to counter-attack against you while your players are skating the wrong direction and set up for offense.

A lot of stuff like that going on this season.

-Defenseman leaving the front net space open.
-Misplaying 2 v 1's like crazy (Greene in particular), Hall stickhandling literally into 2-3 guys sometimes waiting for him
-Not shooting a lot, but taking low percentage passes to high/wide angle shots (think Palms shooting that wide angle shot and always missing or hitting pads)
-Preferring for the perfect pass play (getting poked away) instead of shooting it in the prime areas (slot, high slot, low slot)
-PP skating into walls, PP static
-Weird goalie plays, playing puck in bad situations (both Cory and KK).

This seems to be coaching, or coachable strategies. This is all stuff i've seen in the last 10 games, roughly.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Endlessly spiraling right now

I’ll be listening to Guster the rest of the night to cheer myself up.

 

[Blender]

So glad we called up McLeod for this game. Well worth it.

Ray didn't do anything this summer

What makes you think he will do anything now except recall not-ready players from Bing?

 

[VoidCreature]

The way I see it those 18 posts have made his numbers look better than they should this year.

He's had some good games, but not enough where I feel confident playing him 55 games a season.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It’s just so many simply mistakes on top of an insanely bad power play.

 

[haak84]

hynes would make an OK assistant coach...

come on boys! try harder!

 

[Cult of Hynes]

You can say bye to Hall, and hello to an even longer rebuild.

 

[Cage Helmet]

I don’t see more than 72 points this season. Goaltending is less than mediocre at most, power play is ill-competent at most, too many underachievers, a couple of washed up plods and decaying hombres. Coaching is questionable at the most.

Taking your money is.

 

[MadDevil]

So glad we called up McLeod for this game. Well worth it.

We may as well have played 7 defensemen given how little he played.

D giving up the middle on breakaways. They do that a lot.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Greir has been a great addition by Hynes too

I don't want to go there yet but it's possible regression starts setting in.
