Post-Game Talk: We Are The Ones (who haven't won yet) Phi 4 - NJ 0

[njdevils1982]

so……ya……..looking forward to enjoying the game tonight (i mean the oilers game)

 

[NJDevs26]

Its so weird though. Parts of the Winnipeg game, we looked great. This game, passes didn't connect

What's Hynes record against AV? That's something I'd like to know

7-4-2 including tonight lol, we only really struggled against the Rangers Hynes' second year, and last year with Quinn there.

 

[Whaddagoal]

LOL someone reminded me I hadn't changed it so I did for about two days (if that), then the opener happened....

Jesus.......... that didn't last long did it..... haha.

 

[NjDevsRR]

The only bright spot from tonight.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Hynes won’t make it to the Rags game if he doesn’t get a win in a hurry

 

[LeafingTheWay]

Nothing to worry. It's just a bunch of new guys needing some time to gel together.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The breakout failures and constant blue line turnovers are a big problem.

Special teams being a disaster too

 

[njdevils1982]

agree.

i'll give them 52 years grace period to gel……

gel….together…..

The one game management thing I would criticize tonight was not getting fresh legs out there earlier on the 5 on 3. Palms, Bratt, Nico, Simmons, somebody for Subban should have gotten out there half way through.

Subban was gassed early on that 5 on 3 and we were falling over and bumping into each other trying to retrieve the puck in the neural zone and re enter and set up. We wasted a lot of the 5 on 3 that way. We needed fresh legs earlier to chase down those pucks and manage the ice.

On the players especially Gusev was that we were trying to be way too deliberate and perfect. Throw the puck around the perimeters if the perfect cross ice pass isn’t there.

Agreed.

It feels like the cross-ice pass was being forced way too much. I think Subban only had one touch in the offensive zone during the 5 on 3 because the forwards kept trying going for the cross-ice pass rather than going back to the point to reset. Need to utilize Subban's QB skills on the PP.

 

[mtnet]

delete, wrong thread

 

[Emperoreddy]

One good look on that 5 on 3 was not acceptable. Yeah Hart made a great save but they never challenged him again.

 

[Auto Pilot]

Some flyers fans have equated Hynes to
Hakstol. Should give you an indication of how bad he is lol.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

My sister's husban decided to place a bet for Red Wings in all of their regular season starts and see where he lands. I started a similar approach by placing €10 on Oilers after watching the highlights of this one

 

[njdevils1982]

Really? An Alexis Lafraniere post gets deleted? We're 0-2-1 and playing like a team that could be a potential top pick. But yeah, sure. Delete it.

i guess the sticky went incognito …. i shall revive

I remember Lou liked to give the team 10 games before making evaluations. My only concern is by game 10 this team might be too far gone. If you think I am over reacting, there is a statistic where most teams in playoffs position around Thanks Giving end up in the playoffs most of the time. 3 point games royally **** on teams trying to climb out from the bottom. Obviously, there is a chance (Blues), but not a good one.

Every level of this team is bad. The PK and PP are non existent. On 5v5 the Devils will have chances but even at 4-0 they didn’t look great, just opportunistic.( 6 GF-15GA) Should be 6-20+ if you count missed open nets. Yuck!

 

[glenwo2]

Off topic, as we headed into preseason season, I thought your "We suck again!" subtitle was getting a little dated......given the hype train koolaid we all had....

But...But now, I'm starting to think you actually really had a sharp perspective coming into this 4th game of the season......

 

[Caldercanucks]

I personally think tomorrow should be the deadline (as far as his leash). They still have to find a coach so it will probably take some time.

Don't you think firing the coach after 3 games where your best players have struggled plus having a bunch of new faces is a little knee-jerk? I commend Shero for having the guts to bring some new faces in, but when I was reading threads here in the summer, it seemed like most people just assumed all the new players were gonna all be best-case scenarios. Goose had proved nothing, yet was paid as he has, Shero was the only gm willing to take on all of Subbans contract. Firing the coach now would look really desperate and would further complicate the gelling process IMO. Blaming the coach when your top 6 and top D have been underwhelming just seems like a cop-out Good players should be able to play in any number of systems. I think not bringing in an experienced goalie may be the biggest issue. Corey has always been fragile, mentally and physically. I still can't believe Kes banged his GF, tho he wasn't the only teammate that Kesler did that to.

 

[Its a Trap]

What’s with the ultra passive PK??

 

[FooteBahl]

so……ya……..looking forward to enjoying the game tonight (i mean the oilers game)

Yeah me too. As soon as the game starts NJ always comes to section 16 and rubs my beautiful bald head...tonight I’m going to punch his head off

 

[Brooklyndevil]

I’m far from a Hynes supporter and couldn’t care less if he’s gone tomorrow. However, what happened to Nico, Hall and Palmieri. They’ve become non factors so far and they’re are top 3 players. Something has to give and some hard decisions have to be made, including moving some roster players. Think for the best, prepare for the worse.

 

[NjDevs4994]

What’s with the ultra passive PK??

I’ve noticed for the past few seasons the PK is always super passive and sits back WAY more than other teams in the league or at least how teams play us. They always pressure us in the zone on the a PP and it works.
