CommonDreads Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 So uhm, I think we need some defense. 49 shots against is unacceptable even against Pittsburgh. I'll take the point and thank Kinkaid happily for stealing it, but they need to work on their breakout badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brown Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 RECAP Kinkaid was great tonight. Team played very well. Possession metrics misleading tonight. Bad luck cost this team a 2nd point. Why wasn't Zacha the one taking that shootout attempt instead of Zajac? fvck! EVEN STRENGTH POSSESSION STATS CF%: 43.1 (50 to 66) FF%: 40.24 (33 to 49) SF%: 40.63 (26 to 38) SCF%: 32.14 (9 to 19) HDCF%: 23.81 (5 to 16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Morons in our fanbase got their wish with JJ being scratched and this is what happens. Hynes seems nice and all, but hard to think of him as a coach that will get this team to win big down the line when he makes decisions like putting zajac in the shootout over other available options.

Apparently his finger was healed and he was a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. Cangialosi mentioned it before his first game back.

NJDevs4978 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) lol yeah Zajac sucks in the shootout, we get it, but where was the obvious option to put in over him? Everyone else was a hope and prayer at that point too. Edited November 27, 2016 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunninWithTheDevil Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Played way better than I thought they would. KK was incredible. Tough to blow 2 leads again, at least we got a point. Edited November 27, 2016 by RunninWithTheDevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You could argue NJ hasn't deserved anything from these last two games. It's nice that they are picking up points but they need hall back asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Couldn't see most of the game but the Devils ended up with 4 points this week which is pretty goddamn good all things considered. Pittsburgh tying goal was a heartbreaker but they got 4 points in a week where Schneider only played twice and didn't play well and Hall didn't play at all. I think we'll see a return to better defensive play next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 This is the sort of defensive play I expected to see out of this unit on a consistent basis this year. it probably a credit to Hynes that we haven't seen more of it.

NJDevils1214 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) They've stolen so many points this year and won games they shouldn't have. It is almost a weird feeling to see them play a game they should have won and be mad that they didn't. Again, they got a point out of it so..meh. I missed the game but looks like Cammy and Kink played well. Especially glad for Cammy. Edited November 27, 2016 by NJDevils1214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might as well have reached down, picked up the puck, and handed it to the goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, I've lost faith in Hynes as the guy behind the bench for the next truly competitive group. Good for Shero to have his guy cut his teeth with a talentless team there was no pressure in coaching, and good to start developing another American head coach, but I think he needs to get some assistant experience behind an NHL bench before he's going to lead a team to any real success. It's good he's got this group scrapping through and getting points, but they blow leads every night, and it's starting to look like this group might be back to being dominated more nights than not. It was making me sick watching them get pinned in by Detroit for 5 straight minutes and throwing dozens and dozens of passes to the tape of Red Wing forecheckers. They've looked extremely unorganized and badly out coached with regularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Haha, okay. Hynes changed things around massively this summer and has this team playing a game much more suited to their talents. This team still has gigantic holes on it. And yet they're 10-6-5 and in a playoff spot right now. I guess you guys should get used to complaining about Hynes because I think he will be around for a while. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njd3b1ink Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yeah Hynes is the real deal. Not sure how anyone can deny that with what he's done with the roster last season and so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
