the guys are not playing too well, playing with fire. i feel a Sens goal coming soon

I just turned on the game...and boy do the Devils look flat and uninspired, they cant clear their own zone, they pass to the Sens in the offensive zone,  looking like its a preseason game

[SterioDesign]

Clarkson is looking good though

Team MVP this season

strong first period followed by a weak offensive second, third needs more push.

Whole team looks awful outside of Brodeur.

[MadDog2020]

I'm afraid Carter could be out for a bit. That didn't look too good.

[LucifersDog]

1-0 we are lucky to be ahead at the end of two.

2 things i really hate about our  PP (both which have not really cost us so far)

 

1- the lack of urgency, you simply don't feel like they feel they have an opportunity, especially from Kovy when he's going to get the puck behind our net, he's slowly skating to the puck and then slowly skating the puck up the ice with no urgency. OF COURSE i wouldnt want them to rush and make stupid decisions but they are always sooooooooooooooooooooo relax and slow setting themselves. Depending on if we're getting lots of clears we're losing a lot of seconds from our PP just because of that. I'd just like to see the intensity of a last minutes where a team is trailing by one and absolutely need a goal, but obviously keep on playing smart not to get scored on SH

 

2- they are making extremely dangerous passes between the point men im actually really surprised it hasnt been picked up yet for a breakaway. And they keep their play so high around the blue line with the 2 defending forward so close to them. Seems like we don't have room on the point too often and they keep going back and forth with it.

 

our PP is not horrible but it's something that gets me nervous pretty much all the time while we're on the PP.

Whole team just looks sloppy.

 

Not sure if Brodeur is fighting off the shots a little today or if just the whole team is running around like chickens with no head in front of him and he is just trying to keep them afloat.

looked like a separated shoulder for carter, hope i'm wrong.

Kovalchuk have to be relax and waiting for line change or wait that everybody is ready for the breakout... One thing they do well these time is entering the zone so.. no problem there

[SterioDesign]

Carter is still out damn

that was an example, i may be wrong but am i the only one not feeling a sense or urgency at all on a PP ?

[hargsy]

just a matter of time

[Devilsfan118]

Carter's out, yikes.

JJ going to get another chance sooner rather than later.

[SterioDesign]

[ZeroGravityFat]

[Devilsfan118]

[SterioDesign]
