volchenkov28 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Pete is getting ridic i hate how he always has salvador out there for the 6 on 5. why cant he put out greene and zidlicky players that can clear the puck and get the pass to an open player for an empty netter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneax Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 What else can he do with the garbage he can throw on the ice at this point? This team is mentally very weak. The game plan of the last 10min or so was, sit back and play defense. That always losses games. I blame Pete primarily for a loss like this.

devlman Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Sal actually got that predator to stop screening Cory. If anything it's jagr who made that play happen for them. He didn't need to though. We already had Greene taking care of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Honestly we must lead the league in soul-crushing defeats the last two years. That 15-0-3 with a lead after two periods is the single most misleading stat of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yep, that's the way the season goes....Ryder can't finish a gift breakaway instead of just picking a spot and shooting and then seconds later they lose. If every team we played purposefully allowed our players to have a breakaway every time they enter their zone we would be shut out every game.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 1-1-1 on the road trip. Could've been worse, though losses like this are maddening. If they pick up 4 out of the next 6 points before the break, I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hahaha this team can go fvck themselves. Dominate the first 19 minutes of the third period with the lead and then sh!t the bed the final minute and overtime. Brodeur is going to play the next game too just to all watch. Against Colorado? It could be a slaughterhouse. Then again they'll probably lose ANOTHER 2-1 game with Cory anyway so wtf's the difference at this point?

Mike Brown Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That was fvcking pathetic!!!!!!!!!! Inexcusable really. This is the 4th time this year that I can recall we've blown a last minute lead. Absolutely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. When they're leading going into the 3rd they just stop playing their game and start playing prevent defense. It's so infuriating.

Exactly. When they're leading going into the 3rd they just stop playing their game and start playing prevent defense. It's so infuriating. I don't blame Pete for going into the defensive shell instead if trying to score as this team can't score to save their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame Pete for going into the defensive shell instead if trying to score as this team can't score to save their lives. Not even scoring, but they stop forechecking and just seem content in playing in their own zone, clearing it, changing lines, repeat. It doesn't work. It rarely does.

volchenkov28 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 this team is pathetic idk how they sometimes play great in the 3rd and then be like this in the 3rd is so pathetic. stop playing prevent defense and play your game for 60 mins. please just for once in this season.

bobilly45 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Maybe we should call up larson, o we cant theyre saving that spot for harrold. If we dont make the playoffs again pete needs to be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 They played a terrific 3rd period. Nashville got a very gratuitous bounce at the worst possible time. Sucks in a huge way, but sh!t happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I seriously can't think of anyone we've had that was so bad as a player and yet still maintained such an important role on the team the way Sal does. Kind of fitting since there's no accountability anymore in the organization, unless you have an AHL salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks in a huge way, but sh!t happens. Same thing last night too. But as I said, we've blown far too many leads in the last minute this year. Sure it was bad luck, but why the fvck was Legwand that wide open?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volchenkov28 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 pete has to be on thin ice for sure. i dont understand how in the world they still have larsson in the minors. Harrold is terrible and is a deboer project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) They played a terrific 3rd period. Nashville got a very gratuitous bounce at the worst possible time. Sucks in a huge way, but sh!t happens. It happens a LOT with Pete teams late in games, doesn't it? These last two games brought back memories of last year's ill-fated Florida trip (another back-to-back where we blew leads in the last minute both times). Even in 2012 we blew leads like crazy.

thefiestygoat Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Pete DeBoer teams blowing late leads...seen this before. Unacceptable result, the Devils needed the 2 points, especially with the OOT scores not going their way. I've calmed down over the years and try not to get worked up about regular season results but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't starting to get down about this team making the playoffs. Not giving up but starting to lose confidence in this group.I can't get on Schneider for this one. He made a mistake and never seemed to get set for the 1st goal against. Luckily, Hutton gifted Elias a goal after that. Can't blame Schneider for a 5v6 goal and the OT goal where Zidlicky kicked the puck for the perfect pass to Weber.I thought Loktionov had a nice return in his limited action.Ryder is absolutely maddening. He has one job and is horribly inconsistent at it. Now 10 games without a goal. Just 2 assists over that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
