GDT: We Will Not Break: Bruins @ Devils, 7 PM, MSG+2 - Bork, Bork, Bork!

[Better Call Sal]

Alright everybody, please do not panic

No, stop! Really! Adversity is not a bad thing!

(sigh) Would it help if I said Kinkaid is more than likely out?

Half-hearted, but I'll take it. Now, in honor of the Lack Net Monster's first Devils start, here's the Swedish Chef.



I know we're all dejected and we're playing only the hottest team in the league tonight. But we need a win now more than ever. Be positive with me!

[King Lindros]

must win

 

[MadDevil]

This could either be a rallying moment for this team or the beginning of a true death spiral.

 

[Blender]

They are probably going to run us out of the building, but hopefully not.

LGD!

 

[Better Call Sal]

I will be there with my wife who’s a B’s fan (gulp).

Section 15

Let’s f***ing go!!!!!

 

[The 29th Pick]

Im done pretending.......we SUCK

 

[NjDevsRR]

Last night was the first game I missed in months. Proper decision it was.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. One team is dialed in and running on all cylinders while the other is beat up and running out of gas.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Just finished the game, what an overall disaster. Everyone sucked last night. Everyone knows I can't stand watching Kinkaid play anymore but the whole team was definitely to blame last night. Kinkaid is never going to step up his game because he just simply doesn't have what it takes. He is what he is but boy am I tired of watching him. I'd rather see literally anyone else in net then him.

This ship is sinking fast and I just don't see us recovering unless Cory comes back soon and gets on a hot streak.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

If we can’t muster a point again, we’re in deep ****. Way too many games with 0 points lately, it’s killing us.

For whatever reason, Cory gets buried here all of the time. “Oh he was playing poorly before the injury, Mr Softie, etc.” He’s the second best and most important player behind Hall and it’s not even close. If he’s not back within the next game or two, they are absolutely f***ed.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Tonight is truly a turning point.

As much as I want someone to go Chris Simon on Marchand tonight, they can't get sucked into it and lose focus on the primary objective.

Just play our game (whatever that means anymore), and score more than them. Please.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Have zero confidence in them right now. Hall's absolutely right, the season is slipping by them and no one is helping him out.

I usually dont agree with you, but this time you're spot on

 

[Call Me Al]

i hope they try something at least. put mueller in, play hall and palmieri together, just something because the same old isn’t working

 

[The Wumpus]

So much frantic meeping

 

[Better Call Sal]

You just know Hayes is going to get back in the lineup today.

And he'll come into the locker room like

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Have zero confidence in them right now. Hall's absolutely right, the season is slipping by them and no one is helping him out.

when did Hall say something like this?

 

[Cheddabombs]

when did Hall say something like this?

He said the season is slipping by them after yesterday's game. My bad, the grammar there makes it seem like he also said no one is helping him lol. He never said that, I said that though. And it's true.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I sincerely hope Eddie is ready.

when did Hall say something like this?

He didn't say it that way, per se, but here's the link to AG's article:



He said the season's slipping away and they need better from a lot of people in the locker room including himself.

 

[Darkauron]

I hardly have any hope for the team with their effort for the last long while..

 

[MartyOwns]

if the bruins take this game seriously, it could get really bad. if they don’t, we have a slight chance.

 

[HoliksGhost]

Maybe the Bruins best players ate at DB last night and all have food poisoning ?

 

[Ben Matlock]

We lack goaltending.

 

[The 29th Pick]

We lack goaltending.

we're still working the Kinks out
