mfitz804 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Remind me, is there a superstition that prohibits me from putting up the next GDT right after the game? 1 minute ago, Jerrydevil said: I want to watch every second of that commercial, every time. Yup, total opposite of the BMW commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB3 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 guys really looked flat and out of it all game. part of that is almost certainly tortorella’s abhorrent-to-watch system, with the mantra of “hold everyone, they can’t call everything a penalty.” i listened to the second period. chico was on fire, man i miss him. would love if they flipped chico and dano. but he said something i loved: “the flyers are daring the devils to make the tough plays and the devils aren’t. they’re doing nothing with urgency.” looks like they got their pp’s whacked a little bit at intermission because the third was much better until they said “neat we’re up 3-1 gg no re” with 7 minutes of game left. props to schmid for looking like a legitimate nhl goalie, a year after he looked like a legitimate make a wish kid getting his dream fulfilled of playing in the NHL. the blackwood dilemma is coming. schmid looks better than Mack. I don’t know how you send him down at this point, and you don’t want to carry 3 goalies (nor do you want to waive blackwood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you find a way to still get points out of those games, that’s a skill in itself. Devils are 20-2-1 in their last 23 GP. That’s sick. That goes without saying and I'm rather upset than worried. I kinda expected it and it's better at this time of the season than later. I'm still pleasantly surprised to see them on top of the division.

Lateralous Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Not our most impressive performance but glad to get the win. On subway train out of NRG station. We easily had 30% of the crowd and it sounded like 50% at times. So nice to flip the script after all these years of hearing how the Rock was invaded by Flyers and Rangers fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it…Devils have banked three points in their last two games. They could’ve come away with none. They’ll start playing better again, but nice to get goaltending that keeps them in games while they’re fighting it. And to have a team that can finish just enough when opportunities are limited.

Schmid has done absolutely NOTHING to deserve to be sent down. This isn’t even a personal thing with Blackwood but for me he represents everything that went wrong over the last few years. While I agree we need to keep him as insurance for a Vanacek injury, I wouldn’t be sad if we never saw him in net again for the Devils and he walked at the end of the year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the end of the year is a foregone conclusion unless he comes back and does what these other guys are doing. I too think he needs to be kept as insurance, but at what point do we acknowledge that maybe Schmid is all the insurance needed? I would say, though, trying to clear that puck himself at the end was very confident but very stupid.

He’s one of those guys you associate with “those” Devils, just because. Seves is like that too. And Smith feels he COULD have been on those teams heh heh. If Schmid gets sent down and Blackwood gets a couple of games and looks meh in both…Mac is going to be torched by this fanbase. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 …also, since we last checked in late Monday night, I believe that Kakko and Laf have played 3 games with 0 points. Holtz and Zetterlund have played 2 games with a goal each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like seeing Devils fans (even if they're new ones) being loud in opposing teams' arenas. We had Rangers fans especially pulling this crap on us for the past 30 years so it's time to give back as I see it. Plus, our players love it, so why not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
