GDT: Your New Jersey Devils @ Philadelphia Flyers, 7 PM, MSGSN

[Better Call Sal]

It felt like we were in for another heartbreaking outcome after 40 minutes on Tuesday

Well, ya know, some of the usual defensive breakdowns and untimely goaltending. You know, the classics.

Maybe we need to give Michaels a call, he is the best goalie in the NOSHO after all.

Eh, he's a weirdo anyway.

Anyway the boys showed their "never say die" attitude, and we pulled the rug out from under the Long Islanders and yanked their hearts out for 2 points.

And wouldn't you know it, our Jims (Lazar Bazaar and Brendan Smith) set the f***ing tone! You get the game Stick for that one, bud.

The optimism train is back in full force as we head south on the Turnpike to visit those orange guys who think they can fly.

Time to get back aboard, because there's no stopping this rig once it gets rolling!

Let's get on the go, b'ys!

I'll be there in attendance. Making the trip from the Hudson Valley (hour and 20 minutes north from Prudential Center). Please make the 3 hour drive each way to watch you guys on the road worth it lol.

BTW, I'd like to bring something up that @TrufleShufle said in the previous GDT that was locked.

@guitarguyvic mentioned that "Sal put up a stat about how the devils have the fourth worst uncontested slot shot rate in the entire league, despite our xG HD against numbers being at the top."

Trufle responded with :

Ugh, c'mon Sal, I wish he would just admit he doesn't understand the stat at all and take the L.

Is that really true that Sal doesn't understand it?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Salnalytics are advanced, some of y'all just don't get it.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Is that really true that Sal doesn't understand it?

I didn't see the broadcast so Idk the full context, but I'm gunna say, I think he knows what he's talking about.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lmao, I just saw the "How Lazar" meme from @Its Always Sundstrom and had to add it to the GDT. Thank you for your service, friend.

It has to be true if he was talking about ways it can be inaccurate. Everyone knows if you question it or point out it’s flaws in any way, the only explanation is you just don’t understand it…..

 

[Maine Fan]

The teams are about equal if the defense plays well then it will be on Virek. Hey, Blackwood may be in goal tonight against Boston. He is 3-9-1 aren't we glad he is gone.

 

[denverdevil]

Philly cheese steaks suck. LGD.

 

[Saugus]

Please tell me Schmid is starting this one and Vitek gets tomorrow against the Sharks.

You’re welcome. Got to keep making the sausages for the people.

Edit: credit to @glenwo2 (I think) for giving me the idea.

LGD.

If tomorrow is Vitek against Blackwood…TAKE THE OVER

 

[DevilsHughes86]

LFG Devils, keep the winning streak going!! f*** Philly

 

[Bleedred]

Please tell me Schmid is starting this one and tomorrow, while Vitek sits against the Sharks.

Fixed

When you realize that Sal is just Crush from finding Nemo, it makes sense.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

The Flyers are going to try a play a very physical game. That’s the way Torts likes it. Our boys better back each other up.
