Not only are the NJ devils brought to you by St Barnabas hospital, but tonight’s game is actually going to be broadcast live from the hospital since most of the actual players are there.
Quote:
Its gotten to that point of the season where we have defenseman playing on the wing and 3/12 of our forwards were actual NHLers this season
Quote:
I legit love how bad our lineup is tonight.
Quote:
I didn't have time to put in Binghamton logos.
Quote:
Wood, Bratt, Palmieri out. Lappin on top line with Hischier and Coleman. Yeesh.
Quote:
True AHL team tonight with this lineup.
Quote:
I’m trying to think of a worse forward group we put out than this and I can’t.
Quote:
Not even in the 80’s
Quote:
Dude, Drew Stafford who barely made the team is playing 2nd line RW and it's not even a mistake. Our only hope is 0-0 and go into OT.
Quote:
I submitted this game for buyback really early in the season
Turns out my instincts were right on this one...
Quote:
Agostino is better than current Stafford. I’m not sure what you’re watching.
Agostino is the only fodder player in the lineup to even be NHL caliber. The rest of them are a burning pus fire.
Quote:
This lineup needs to be written on a toilet paper
Schoolyard Bully
Quote:
Hope Calgary was kind enough to bring the lube.
Quote:
Didn’t realize how bad the Devils have been against the Flames throughout history
If someone asked you which team the Devils have their lowest winning percentage against the Flames would be one of the last ones you would ever guess.
Quote:
I can’t see us holding them under 5 goals. I’ll say 8 to 1.
Quote:
the name garnet hathaway sounds like someone owns a yacht and has nothing but bleach white clothing in his wardrobe
Quote:
Anyone else think it’s funny the Flames have a player named “Mangiapane” (literally “Eats bread” in Italian)? They can stick their bread where the sun don’t shine
Quote:
I laugh every time I hear it. Makes me wonder what kind of shenanigans took place to earn a family name like that... probably no papers off the boat, no inglese and a bitter immigration officer.
Hometown Boy Adulation
Quote:
I think its safe to say that Gaudreau is an absolute BEAST.
Quote:
Seney: Hey, who is that tall guy I am matched up with?
Hynes: Gaudreau
Quote:
How can u not like Johnny Hockey? Pitman NJ Proud. Holding Calgary so far is an accomplishment. They’re good. W last 6.
Really Tilted Ice
Quote:
doing the 'shot for shot' drinking game for this one…team gets a shot, i take a shot…..seems like a good game for it
….not doing hard liquor on the first try……just some so-so 13% wine……..
good times ahead….and hopefully a win
Quote:
The starting five are on the ice for 1:45 because they can't get a change lol
Quote:
Greene and Lappin mean 2 minute shifts in the D-zone and the inability to change.
Quote:
Surprised we got out of that before taking a penalty or an icing.
Quote:
Well they haven't scored yet so that's something.
Quote:
Good start.
Letting them think it'll be easy to keep offensive zone pressure.. then we'll flip it on them!
Quote:
Hopefully youre right. That first shift looked like grown men playing against children and that was our top line getting stuck in a monkey in the middle situation. Since then it hasn't been nearly as rough.
Quote:
I have this sense of impending doom for the Devils. As if one strong Calgary shift or a score will just open the floodgates
Quote:
Outshot 15-5. Oof.
Quote:
Shots are 15-5 Flames. Recipe for success!
Quote:
I'll take that period with that lineup against that team.
Quote:
lol Dano
"if it wasn't for our bad power play"
Quote:
Dano is claiming that the Devils have kept the Flames to the outside with their shots.
Currently, Flames are out-chancing NJ 13-5 and 6-1 in only high-danger chances per Natural Stat Trick.
Therefore, I disagree with Dano.
Quote:
Devils are being outshot 3 to 1 (30-10).
Flames are pretty good this year.
Auto Defense Mechanisms
Quote:
Lol tripping him and turning around to complain about getting called in one fluid motion. I don't even think Gaudreau was on the ice before Severson had his hands up complaining lol
Fortunate Bounce for Zebulon
Quote:
Weird own goal.
At least it was after the 5 on 3.
Quote:
Well if that’s not the flukiest goddamn goal I’ve ever seen...
Quote:
Vatnen scoring a goal in his first game back!
Quote:
A bank shot right as Severson was leaving the box. A weird carom off a pass by Lindholm, off Vatanen’s skate, and it surprised Blackwood.
Of all the possibilities, that was the goal.
Quote:
I mean, at least they didnt end up in a situation where they were having to kill the remainder of Coleman’s penalty…
Mr. Norris all alone
Quote:
Giordano (13 goals, 46 assists) needs one point to become the fourth defenseman in NHL history aged 35 or older to score 60 points in a season (Nicklas Lidstrom, Al MacInnis, Sergei Zubov).
Quote:
rough coverage by carrick and nico there
Quote:
Like I said
Lappin is a floating, coasting mother****er. Doesn't even try.
Quote:
Mark Giordano busted a move on Blackwood for a highlight-reel worthy goal. Absolutely nobody on the Devils defense was on the right side; Giordano had a clear path to the net.
Quote:
Shero and Hynes are two ****ing morons. Great idea filling up this roster with grinding piles of ****. No clue why we couldn't have called studenic up and instead filled with team with talentless plugs that these two fools love so much.
Really done with Shero as a GM at this point.
Quote:
Team tank back in full effect.
(Not that I have any expectations moving forward with 90% of this team in IR)
Quote:
Well, that was a perfect time to turn on the game :/
Quote:
oof, Big Mac go pick up your jock strap
A Prayer for Mueller
Quote:
Please be okay Mirco
Quote:
If this weren't such a serious looking injury I'd post the Another One Bites the Dust YT about now.
And Mueller again, he's the new Josefson.
Quote:
Eh that was a freak play...Mueller lost his footing just before going into the boards. It honestly would have been better if he was straight up boarded as opposed to being kneeled over when his head hit the board.
Quote:
Mueller gave the thumbs-up.
I saw that.
That's a relief.
Quote:
Just started moving thankfully
Quote:
Kind of admire the flames guys for getting over to him. Sort of a mutual respect for how dangerous the sport can be.
Goalie Auditions
Quote:
Vatanen is officially our third best goalie
Quote:
Vatanen the goalie
Quote:
Vatanen > Kinkaid
Quote:
LOL Vats and his goalie skills.. Really cracks me up...
Stop giving Butcher shots, he's looking like Greene out there getting shots in shin pads, etc.
Quote:
Vatanen cost me $83.
If the Flames won by >=2 goals I would have won $78. Instead I lost $5. LOL
Quote:
The Flames were dogging it. They didn't take the Devils seriously and put in almost no effort, and still pretty much carried the entire game and won. We used to do the same thing when we were good.
No Good
Quote:
Oilers have lost 13 of their last 16.
Quote:
Flames win their 7th in a row - 30 pts up on the Oil
Quote:
And the Oilers are on pace for less points than last season. The two teams were separated by just six in 2017-18.
Disgraceful what Katz and his buddies have done to the organization. I haven't given money to them this season and won't again until they clean house.
Quote:
Try not to lose your minds folks. Not because you don't have a million reasons to, but just try not to.
Quote:
Through 63 games:
2017-18: 27 wins
2018-19: 26 wins
I don't think Chiarelli's plan worked.
Quote:
This might actually be a worse Oilers team than the ones that were trying to lose.
Conspiracy Theorists
Quote:
Flames soft schedule keeps going. Calgary is actively working on a new arena with Canadian taxpayer dough, and thus approval involved. Probably why is my guess.
If Hasso is looking forward to the Sharks turn at this, I would not bet on it. 1993 was a year in the arena building boom. There are a lot of teams with arenas that age and nearly so.
Quote:
Ottawa hits the post in the last minute of the third and Calgary pots in the game winner seconds later. Can we catch a break?
Quote:
Flames up 7 points now, and with us slumping the way we are, gonna be really tough to win the division now,
Quote:
Division race is over. Flames’ schedule is too easy.

I thought Fantenberg was pretty much as advertised: steady. There were very few mistakes. He made solid passes. He skated fairly well. He has a pretty good shot. There was nothing spectacular, but I never really felt worried because he was on the ice. In fact, he left me feeling confident.
