If severson had been smarter with the puck they could have maintained possession and not ended up stuck out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because endurance isn`t his bright side. That would have been a long shift for anyone. They were out there defending almost the whole 2 min.

titans04 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Mac as usual deserved better. Hopefully he's able to keep his head up in spite of the rolling out the sieve now that he's back up. Guadana - I'm with you terrible timing on the attempted change Palms never got back into the play did he? I also get the fact they got abused for an extended shift and lost their legs but don't think the long change had much of a chance for success there. In the end whatever, it was another meaningless game. Turn the page and move on. Edited February 29, 2020 by titans04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were out there defending almost the whole 2 min. in overtime players must be more agressive without the puck and have some more endurance. He wasnt look great all OT in our zone. Can i blame him? i don`t think. He has d-man and d-forward zacha and they didnt do something that can help... to change the line at least.

In the end whatever, it was another meaningless game. Turn the page and move on. Like Nicomo said Goose was off and i blame zacha and severson there. But in the fact they are worse and havnt so much expirience than Kopitar and doughty in puck possession. They are off too and lose after that when they cant change. I think there werent many opportunity in hands of Goose and Zacha - Nas must pick Zajac(or Nico and Palms) to shot down best kings and give a chance to Zacha and Goose after that.

ALANCHEZ Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Bad shot attempt by Severson only time NJD had puck possession in OT... made that line out there a long time....and Bad change by Zacha . PLease take Hughes off top line.. -He is just not ready. Late in game it was Rooney-Nico -Palms . need a top Lw , for first line ... ?? -Nico -Palms -All look lost with Hughes. Bratt- Zacha - Gusev -Bst line on the ice. Hughes- Zajac - ??? Rooney - Mcleod - Anderson Claessen not a good game either.... Mueller , Carrick playing well Mermis is OK also.... Mcleod only played 9:00 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Horrible OT, questionable player choices and an awful line change by Gusev. Game over. Blackwood looked fantastic again. Let’s see who plays tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclc79 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Solid goaltending will only win you so many games. Where are the other pieces? (Here's to Cory to keep it going.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Pride 26 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) The more I think about it, the dumber it gets. Why not hold Gusev on the bench until you have clear possession and can sub him on easily? The only reason Zacha could be out there is to cover Gusevs efensive deficiency’s. Jv coaching points. or you just start with your best! Palms and Nico. Ugh Edited March 1, 2020 by Devils Pride 26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’d go Zajac with Gusev long before I would go with Zacha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how I missed this reply during the only period I could watch, but agreed he is a playmaker, but man he has a nice shot when he lets it rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 9 goals and 10 assists for Bratt in his last 25 GP. Would love to see him put together a solid season from start to finish next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see Hughes go back to center and get some time with those two. And who cares about defensive liability, we’re giving up a ridiculous amount of shots every game anyway. Those 3 would be dynamic as hell together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 11 hours ago, Nicomo said: Picking up these loser points is just the worst. The Devils have somehow managed to pick up points at a 97-point pace over their last 33 GP (16-10-7 record). Obviously some players have picked up their offense during that stretch (Goose, Bratt, Severson, and though Palms has cooled off a little as of late, he’s put up 12 G and 12 A in 29 games since the Devils started banking a lot more points), but it definitely feels like so much of this turnaround is Blackwood-driven. He’s gone 13-3-4 in 21 games, with a .928 save%...go back a little further, and his save% is .932 over his last 24 games. Really curious to see how the Devils play once the schedule toughens up (and it will, after this trip concludes). On one hand, I’ve enjoyed seeing players like Bratt and Goose putting up some numbers. But it’s hard to imagine that Mac can possibly continue to be so effective when his D is so rough most games. And gotta think Cory will get torched some games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
