Blown01NJ Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I was at the game. SO sloppy. Turnover after turnover. That's something the devils need to work on a LOT. What did you think of the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmar Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 columbus is not a crummy team, they are actually halfway decent but their goaltending has been terrible - sanford has really stabilized that. Agreed. When they made all the changes to their roster during the offseason, I thought they were serious about improving their team. I was really shocked when they started out so bad, and I think a lot of that had to do with how bad Mason started, as well as losing Wiz at the start of the season with the suspension. I expected them to be better than their start, and maybe they are finally starting to show it. I don't think they are a crummy team at all.

nessus Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Lmfao, Boll? For serious? Holy sh!t. Must have been because of his uhh sssss- uhhh what's the word? his uhhh sss-- (un)symmetrical nostrils. Anyone else catch Chico's comments on Boll's nostrils? That is almost CroMag worthy, honestly. Chico's never cracked me up so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmajeski06 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 columbus is not a crummy team, they are actually halfway decent but their goaltending has been terrible - sanford has really stabilized that. Agreed. It is amazing how much a goalie giving up a soft goal in the first 5 mins can kill a teams mojo. Mason did this often. So good for the Devils, because time will prove CBJ are much better than their record indicates. And Boll as the first star? In NJ nonetheless! I understand if the game were in CBus since he is a fan favorite. But I just don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Take 2 points move on! Some work needs to be done, and getting kovy back to LW might help him out a bit. He has been LW his whole career now he is at RW (i think of it as being a left handed person that is forced to do everything right handed). I say this because he does drift back to LW it seems.

skullsmasher Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hard to consider that a win honestly, we didn't deserve it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moustic Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (Hard or not.. i consider this as a win... at the end if we need these point to grab a better place in standing... nobody will remember that these points weren't sexy) Yes. Of course... Points could be sexy. Ask " ! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Two undeserved points, but I'm not turning them down. 5 regulation wins, 5 shootout wins, and 1 OT win. Everyone from VBK to Lou to DeBoer to the players should be thankful today that they have a winning record. Lots of luck involved with this 11-8-1 mark. Scary to think where they might be without their absurd penalty-killing prowess. Marty's Herculean efforts last night brought his save% up to .900. Glad to see it.

Vic Rattlehead18 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think last night was the first time I ever saw Kovalchuk cycle. And it was only once. He's moving on up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I can see why Kovalchuk has trouble on the cycle, it is hard to cycle on your offwing, you tend to want to use the point rather then keep it down low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I can see why Kovalchuk has trouble on the cycle, it is hard to cycle on your offwing, you tend to want to use the point rather then keep it down low. Which to me is just fine. I think shots and shot attempts per game by NJ defensemen at even strength are way down this year as compared to last. At least it feels that way.

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Which to me is just fine. I think shots and shot attempts per game by NJ defensemen at even strength are way down this year as compared to last. At least it feels that way. They probably are. Fayne and Greene are at a shot a game while Larsson and Tallinder are on pace for 106 shots. When you have pluggers eating a lot of minutes the points won't get fed, they will keep the puck down low. Tedenby is probably the worst at keeping the puck low when he could feed the point and he has excellent skill.

EdgeControl Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 do we keep zack and kovy together till travis gets back? they just seem to be pressing too much and forcing the puck to each other if they dont product 3 even Strength goals in this isles series I'd break them up. 1+1=1.5 for these two kovy, zach and patrik should be anchors on 3 solid lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevsftw Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 He hasn't been our best offensive player at all. Obviously so far this season he hasn't. I was talking in a more general sense. Kovy is the most talented offensive player on this team. He's not getting the support he needs to produce however. He's constantly in a playmaking role, and lately on the right wing. He needs to play LW and he needs playmaking talent on his line. He's a sniper type of player if there ever was one. If you're not gonna build your team around making your $100M sniper produce, then I don't see the point in bringing him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 This comes down to discipline. We used to be a disciplined team. We need to get back to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BelieveinBrodeur Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Kovy isn't our best offensive player, he spends half his ice time standing in one spot or gliding down the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie McKraut Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Elias is our best offensive player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 This game should not have had to go into a shootout. How we let them shoot 36 shots is beyind me but ill take the points. I definitely know what ur talkin about by saying parise and kovy force the puck to one another because it was easy to see in that pass from kovy in front of the net, interesting. Bring it tomorrow boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
