Oglethorpe13 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We're only lucky in the sense that we have games in hand, otherwise this was an embarrassing game other than Daws and Nemec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dejected after all that effort to try and get something going and then chasing down Fredrick. Feel for the kid, he did everything but chip it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 If we didn’t have so many injuries I’d say that Luke Hughes needs a benching. He needs to understand that he’s playing in the NHL. I lost track at the number of key turnovers he committed from lack of awareness. On the plus side, Nemec looks absolutely fantastic. Like a season vet out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs64 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Not a terrible loss. They are too sluggish and unsure when it comes to shooting or making plays under pressure. Daws was excellent, but he got outswaymaned. They need to be more aggressive, but smart...something that comes with experience and coaching.

Jerrydevil Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Honestly, the past three games have been good. The fact that Daws is playing this well is a godsend. We played tough today. It’s hard to be mad at the effort. We’ve seen sh!t efforts early this season, this was not that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I hear you, but I would rather him figure things out without a demotion. He still can do things no other devils defenseman can do. Why not have them out together on the first unit? Maybe that should be considered with Hughes and Timo hurt. Edited January 15 by Jerrydevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ELIAS6 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 hours ago, Nicomo said: What are you even talking about? All I said is it feels like a shutout could be looming. The Bruins had been doing an excellent job at clamping them down when I posted that. Devils made a nice push at the end of the period though. Particularly Nico (which is what I asked for). This wasn’t directed towards you but since you want to take it personal obviously you must know what I’m talking about. The team didn’t look horrible, handful of people saying they looked good and then a handful complaining they looked like sh!t. Hence me saying “the board” don’t recall where I said Nicomo is bi polar, but I don’t know maybe you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 As long as the Devils beat Montreal and Columbus in the next two, you can live with the loss today. Really glad to have the games with Boston out of the way. They’re just one of those teams that the Devils don’t match up well with, especially behind the bench. And of course having so many guys out doesn’t help. It’s only 5 games, but at least other Nico has offered some stabilization in net for now. Hope he can keep it up, because the Devils (with this staff unable to correct lasting issues) are simply going to give up some big-time chances from time to time, and will see themselves struggle in dealing with pressure in their own zone. Daws will definitely face some very tough scoring chances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
