Maddog Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Outplayed them for two periods just did not cash in on our opportunities. Zack needs to start playing like Zack again. Please take Palmieri off the 1st line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv4Life Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Just almost baffles the mind how inept this power play is. No excuses. You gotta score to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 i wish there were a way to get tallinder off the power play, not that it would be particularly better without him. taormina's still doing his taormina thing down in albany. larsson didn't seem like he was the same after taking a puck in the head early in the 3rd. hopefully they can take two tomorrow. i'd also like to see more of zharkov.

mikeford Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Don't play Pelley, don't win the game. Simple as that. 4-1-1 with, 3-5-0 without. Play Rod The Bong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Poster Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Scoring. We need it. This team should not be suffering to finish. Any team with a Kovalchuk, Parise and Elias should be scoring. Their PP is just plain embarassing. I'll say it again, one of the problems comes from the defense. They do not have enough support. I still believe that's the problem. I watched the fvcking Rangers win game after game where i see a defenseman score a goal or record assists even strength or PP. 3 out of 5 goals tonight defensemen were involved. It's fvcking frustrating as hell to watch. Edited November 12, 2011 by SJP20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the problem is. On paper our PP should be pretty badass indeed. Chemistry issues, bad PP coahing (the creativity and movement seems lackluster), poor "quarterbacks"? I really don't know.. I just hope someone figures it out soon.. EDIT: We suck at 5on5 scoring as well btw.. Just seem to be immune to actually getting the puck in the net.. Last game we hit the post 3 times? Edited November 12, 2011 by njdevsftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devlin Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Their PP is just plain embarassing. I'll say it again, one of the problems comes from the defense. They do not have enough support. I still believe that's the problem. Ive been watching the the devs since they came to NJ...the PP has always been an issue as far back as I can remember. I can still hear my grandfather yelling..."you have to convert those into goals!" We gotta suck it up and get ready for tomorrow....we have some good young guys that need to gel a bit.

Some people are going to blame the coaches, unfairly. Look who they had/have for a few years now: Maclean, Oates, Stevens, Robinson, Lemaire. These players were far from PP slouches in their times, so it isn't going to be from bad coaching and instruction. Funny, most of those coaches were outstanding on the PK too and the Devils PK is outstanding. Coincedence? No. So, it's a big fvcking pile of frustrating hockey.

Beck27 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 This game left me actually feeling somewhat positive, even though the loss sucks. If the Caps are truly one of the top teams in the east, well, frankly I'm extremely unimpressed. The Devils literally held them to ZERO sustained pressure. Talk about a game of shooting yourself in the foot...which the Devils have always been fantastic at. But seriously, when three players have doorstep chances (Teddy, Clarkson, and Elias) and not one of them gets a decent shot off, you know it's going to be a loss...and the shorty just topped things off. Still, outplaying a team of the Caps supposed caliber without your top two centers and top winger...can't be too down. Oh, and thanks go out to Tallinder for filling in Colin White's former role of completely killing every offensive zone chance/pressure when the puck lands on his stick...someone had to do it, and he fills in marvelously.

eaglejelly Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 We have 4 PPG vs 3 SHGA so far this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfsharkalligatorhalfman Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I thought the Devils played well. Two mistakes though was all it took. The SHG was killer, then Larsson failing to clear the zone leading to the 3rd goal was the nail in the coffin. If the Devils play like that tomorrow they should win.

I don't think what they accomplished as players means anything as coaches really. The Devils power play just seems too simple, too obvious, no movement making it easy to kill. I'd like to see a lot more of Zharkov too. He looked very good in the limited time he played. I really think he should be nowhere but here.

The Devils power play just seems too simple, too obvious, no movement making it easy to kill. Tonight they had serious trouble coming into the zone with the puck and keeping the zone. Against Carolina, they did everything right except score. I do wish Larsson could be taken off the point too - he's got talent, but I don't think he's ready to be quarterbacking a first unit.
