DevsMan84 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 We robbed Chicago of those points. We got lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If I'm DeBoer, I'm treating that like a loss. That was a garbage performance. They should all buy Marty a fvcking Rolex for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Marty stole that game for the Devils. Not a fun performance to watch by the team but a great performance to watch by Brodeur. Zidlicky played 29:15 tonight, 24:16 of that was even strength too. Taormina just had 1 shift in the 3rd. Harrold got 19:06 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDPucks Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 2 points stolen by Marty. These games even out over time and tonight NJ was due to steal 2 in a dud. Could be worse: you could be a Caps fan tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling he's been doing a lot of yelling lately...maybe pat these guys on the back and try to build them up a little? I'm not disagreeing with you at all, that was a sh!t performance for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game, more than most others, I'm interested to hear DeBoer's postgame press conference. Actually, I'm interested to hear all of our players' take on tonight's game..

It's nights like this where I see the combined 9-9 record against the Flyers, Penguins and Rangers and think, "How the hell did they pull THAT off?!"

I'm not disagreeing with you at all, that was a sh!t performance for sure. He doesn't have to yell at them, or tip over a table or anything- I'm sure he might've done that after the Pittsburgh game. I just meant I'd go about preperation for Tampa and practice and whatnot as if they lost tonight- with a greater sense of urgency to get their game in order, because they were very tentative and sloppy all over the ice tonight. It's great they got the two points, but when Deboer breaks down the tape, he'll wanna put a brick through the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 With the exception of Marty, fvck you guys. You didn't deserve this. Wow guess I didn't miss much lol. At least they have two weeks to get their *** in gear with a little breathing room again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the same sh!t you've been seeing lately, except somehow (read: Marty) they managed to get two points. We'll all take 'em. The 'Hawks must be plenty pissed right now.

Chorske17 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 piss poor effort tonight by almost everyone on the Devils. Kovalchuk turned the puck over SIX times to Dave Bolland and that was JUST him. The Hawks didn't even give a solid effort and are without star forward Toews, solid defenseman Duncan Keith, and have struggled all-year on the powerplay. This game could've easily goe the other way and OH did it almost. If the Devils want to get out of the first round... well, they better figure out a way to manage those minutes and get some defense and scoring. It's just one game, but some of the same flubs by the same individuals seems to happen. I cannot blame the individuals entirely, but Deboer is just as much at fault with playing some of these guys way too much. Quote of the night by Eddie O. on the Chicago Feed: "No wonder Kovalchuk leads the league in ice time for a forward... he never comes off the ice!"

Steven M. Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm just going to ignore the entire game & thread and say, "I love you, Travis Zajac, I love you. Welcome back." that is all from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 DeBoer joked that he picked Travis Zajac in the shootout because he knew there wouldn't be much video on him this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah, agree with this. What's scary is I don't think it's lack of urgency. I think they're confidence is shot right now- you can tell by all the over-passing and by how tentative they were with the puck at times. They seem to be gripping the sticks a little tight up front, and on the back end, it's evident how much they miss Tallinder- and also Volchenkov these last two games.

Devils Pride 26 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 After watching the dmen closely tonight, it has become clear that there is too much puck watching rather than sticking to skaters moving in the defensive zone. All five players seemed to be staring at the puck and reacting late once a pass was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) After watching the dmen closely tonight, it has become clear that there is too much puck watching rather than sticking to skaters moving in the defensive zone. All five players seemed to be staring at the puck and reacting late once a pass was made. Also, once again a defenseman (and I missed who it was, but I wanted to kill him just the same, so I'd appreciate it if someone could point out who it was) tried stepping up on a forward at the blue line (I think it was Stalberg) late in the game, and the guy just went right around him creating a 2-on-1 for Chicago. I almost stroked out, because Fayne pulled the exact same sh!t in the Pittsburgh game which led to an odd-man rush and a goal. This time, Marty bailed us out. When I say Deboer will wanna put a brick through the TV when breaking down the tape, this is what I mean.

They look like they are getting caught flat footed because they ARE getting caught flat footed. Very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoreMoreThan3 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The Devils are kind of like myself. They do just enough to get by and they've been doing it all season. Wow, I just realize how sh!tty my work ethic is. They looked awful tonight. The got completely outplayed by a team who was missing two really good players. The lines look a mess too. I know they were waiting to do all of this when Zajac came back but I think PDB waited too long. How can we expect these lines to click in just 7 games? They've pretty much been the same all year. Poor coaching IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
