SterioDesign Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Well all in all. Losing games to a strong team by a goal is enough for me to be satisfied this season. It's actually ideal IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Jack with Bratt and Zacha, but for now that kind of screws up our lines. When Nico comes back, you can put Nico with Palms. I really think Jack and Bratt would click.

Would rather they suffer the embarrassment of being shut out. Sit on that until the next game and maybe come out with some purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our best playmaker can’t keep dragging around 2 black holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put Hughes with Zacha and Bratt while Nico is out, who do you put with Anderson and Palms right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 7 straight loses at home, wonder what the record is there. Glad I didn't attend this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So guys are losing and keep playing hard until the very end and get rewarded with a goal and an assist to one of our young stud making a great play, great learning experience for him. Basically doing what every coach and fans could ever hope for, to play hard until the end. But you're so biter that you'd rather have that not happening just so the whole team feel miserable with you. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I'd be fine with it if they experiment with it, but I doubt it'll happen until Nico comes back. edit: I said Anderson, I meant Johnsson lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotta pick it up too, four points in his last thirteen games.

Woof...it's 2-7-1 overall. I mean home/road records are gonna be a little squirrely this year with the whole limited/no fans stuff and the schedule format itself but yeah I'm glad I'm not going this year at this point. Too bad this year's pretty well over with already and I'm getting far less optimistic about next year than I was a few games ago.

Bonginator11 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 A couple things I noticed on this losing skid: 1) If Blackwood isn’t stealing games then the Devils aren’t winning 2) Unless it’s by accident I honestly don’t think the Devils will score a powerplay goal. It is absolutely atrocious. I’d rather play even strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, I wonder what the record for most consecutive losses at home is as well, this says 9 in 85-86 but sure when the last time this was updated... https://records.nhl.com/records/team-records/losing-streaks/longest-home-losing-streak-one-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 0-5-2. This seven gamer is actually worse though cause it's all regulation, yikes Edited March 3, 2021 by NJDevs4978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you said, all of his smooth skating and fancy passing aren’t resulting in much of anything. I mean, if Pavel Zacha out scores him for the season, Jack should retire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if that’s really a fair statement, seeing as how Zacha seems to have made marked improvement, and Jack is only in year two. Zacha, as you know, has looked legitimately good.

It’s hard to ask for much more than some of these setups he’s been giving them. Pucks have to start going in the net instead of off the crossbar every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
