I think Lomberg loves being in a market where he is a recognizable celebrity. Not that being and NHL player in Miami doesn't carry a certain level of fame, but in a market like Calgary, he probably gets more spotlight and attention.

Imagine if we still had Shango on Hughes’ line instead of Palat
Quote:
I liked Bahl a lot, but I feel like all of our trades over the offseason have been net positives.
Miss me Shango and Coleman a bit, though
Quote:
Never should've traded Shango. I liked Toffoli but we lost the trade hard when taking a 10 foot view of it
Wish we never traded Coleman either but he led to us getting either Mercer or Timo, I can't remember
Bahl for Markstrom is still undecided with how inconsistent Marky's been
Quote:
Aw poor santagovich I want beautiful things for the man except against us
Quote:
I miss Sharangovich. Can we have him back please?
Quote:
Shango is the only one I'm real sore about. He still would fit nicely in our top 6
Quote:
Shango or coleman goal is happening, we know this… so lets at least get a W
Quote:
I miss Coleman and Shango. I’m glad Bahl is gone, but I wish him the best. Maybe not tonight, though.
Quote:
bahl is on calgary too? damn lots of ex devils
Quote:
Bahl somehow looks even more like a serial killer than he did before. Didn’t think that was possible.
Quote:
Bahl as a top pair D is wild.
Quote:
Bring Coleman home at the deadline
Quote:
I will graciously accept one Shango goal so long as the Devils still win
Quote:
I'll even allow a Bahl and Pickles goal as long as the Devils still get to win
Quote:
Calgary has some talent but that roster looks like something of a random assembly. And Bahl can't stick in NJ but he's playing first pair in Calgary? NJ will have to work to win this game but in the big picure, maybe Calgary needs a better plan moving forward.

This game is just the Spider-man meme with how many players have switched sides

Dougie Hamilton has been absolutely brutal the last few games
Quote:
Worst player on the team
Quote:
I hate doug. So much
Quote:
I hope he shuts me up, but Dougie ain't it so far.
Quote:
Hamilton might be the worst player in the team right now every pass has been botched by him and off.
Quote:
Dougie gonna Dougie
Quote:
Did Hamilton take a bribe from the Flames before the game?
Quote:
Move your ####ing feet Dougie
Quote:
He is slow as a snail and I can't imagine he'll be getting any faster over the remainder of his contract. At least he's pretty good with his decision making and doesn't get caught out for it often.
Quote:
Can somebody, for the love of god, get Dougie some skating lessons?
Quote:
Every dougie pass is a grenade right now…
Markiest Marks that ever Marked

We are the Marky marks

Jacob HIMstrom
Quote:
so today its Jacob Markstrom's New Jersey Devils since he's the only one doing anything at this moment
Quote:
Marky should get a win against his former team and we should get a win because I says so.
Quote:
Would like to get a few shots but not much to complain about so far. Calgary's gonna be on a mission after losing 4 so we gotta get some #### going
Quote:
Goalie duel right now. Marky looking sharp as hell
Quote:
appreciating Markstrom's early saves, but we gotta get out of our zone and get some pressure in the Calgary zone.
Quote:
Markstrom carrying. Not a statement I expected to make after recent events except for last game. Come on guys. Goals 4 Marky
Quote:
Boys you already made Marky look like a stud in front of his former team now we’re good so like maybe stop letting them take all the shots and start taking some of our own????
The Dark Side of the Force
Quote:
Damn we're playing against Darth Vladar
Quote:
Oh no we forgot how to shoot again
Quote:
Darth stoned Dougie.
Quote:
Vladar is wildin rn
Quote:
Gotta give Vladar credit. Jack was betting on him overcommitting but he stayed in perfect position
Quote:
Vladar should have his mask painted with a radar that detects Dracula.
Quote:
Last couple of years made forget what goalie duels feel like. I love goaltending but not the feeling this game is giving me.
Let’s do that Hockey
Quote:
zone exits? bad.
passes? bad.
come on boys pick it the #### up.
Quote:
Where hockey
Quote:
The vibes of this game are just off
Quote:
Ok but hear me out…what if we started playing ####ing hockey??
Lombo Lays a Beating

Anyone else impressed with the number of lefts Bastian took while staying on his feet?
Quote:
“Hey Devils Fans, what’s happening? You didn’t get the memo that I’m a dirtbag? Riiiiiiight. I’ll get you the memo.”
Quote:
Crazy that you can punch a guy 17 times in the head before he drops his gloves and your team gets a powerplay
Quote:
Not soft, Bastian was a punching bag. UFC ref would've stopped this one
Quote:
Bastian got protocolled.
Quote:
Does Bastian do anything else besides getting beat up? Between that last walloping from Lomberg and the hit from Rempe/Trouba last year, I can’t remember anything else he’s done.
Quote:
What the #### was that?
Quote:
Bro what the #### was that
Quote:
What the actual #### just happened?
Quote:
I know this may get downvoted, but this is why I miss old school hockey. Or some elements. If you did that to Cotter, and then acted that way after the fight, your best player was getting his clock cleaned. And I think Dillon should take a run at someone
Quote:
That's the scummiest sequence I've seen in years.
Quote:
Lumberg is a piece of ####.
Quote:
Bastian was not ready for that fight. As a team they aren’t ready tonight. Calgary is giving 100% the Devils about 85%
Quote:
What was that people’s elbow wrestling #### Lomberg
Quote:
Yikes Bastian just got fed breakfast lunch and dinner
Quote:
Jeebus Bas got his ass kicked.
Quote:
Bastian just got ####ed up lmao
Quote:
How the #### did the refs just let him throw that many punches when Bastian clearly wasn't squared up?
Quote:
Don't let Bastian fight literally ever again
Quote:
No penalty for the dangerous hit but a penalty for getting your gloves off late and getting absolutely annihilated
Quote:
Bastian that was ####ing embarrassing
Quote:
Jesus Christ Bastian you got like a foot on Lomberg
Quote:
Refs actually turbo####ing us again what else is new
Quote:
Longberg did that #### on purpose. He need to get his ass beat. What the hell did Bastian do?
Quote:
Bro just got worked by lomberg who’s like 5 foot 6
Quote:
Someone needs to paint the boards with Lomberg's dumb face.
Quote:
Bastian is out for the rest of the game, NJD reporting its his jaw. FML.
that period felt a bit better than the first, but honestly this is Marky's game for sure.
this one's giving me agita.
Hot Mic

“#### ME” - Mercer on the Flames feed
Quote:
Was that “#### me” from Dawson?
Quote:
Think it was lmao
Quote:
Come on Mercer use your brain.
Quote:
Pls tell me someone has a video of this lmao
Quote:
I think I heard Mercer just scream "#### ME!"
lol
Quote:
My head canon is dano goes down to the locker room between periods and just has a chat with Dillon about pummeling the #### out of Calgary in a real elder mentor sort of way but with like the best fired up unhinged energy
Quote:
Keefe looks like he's constantly walking into a saran wrap prank.
Quote:
That roster in Calgary is not terrible. f*** around Devils and you'll find out. So better than that just go out like you really give a f*** and f*** them the f*** up. LGD!
Quote:
We can’t establish a cycle. Even dump ins aren’t going in clean. We’re really lucky that Calgary isn’t doing anything either.
Quote:
Complete a pass, get out of the zone. They look like ####. A runny ####.
Quote:
Calgary just played Bon Jovi. New Jersey superpowers activate!
Quote:
oh god now the devils are going to think they’re playing at home
Quote:
Genius move by Calgary tbh
Goalman opens the scoring!
Quote:
If it has to be anyone on that team let it be Pickles. Love that guy.
Quote:
Bet365 odds on a Coleman SHG?
Quote:
Lucky as ####… of course it’s Coleman from Bahl
Quote:
Was always going to be a former devil gaga
Quote:
They're all former Devils, we get it.
Quote:
Pickles from Bahl
Quote:
Coleman you betrayed us
Quote:
What an absolutely lucky ass bounce man
Quote:
for ####s sake. FOR ####S SAKE. of course its ####ing Pickles.
Quote:
Off a deflection from Bahl.
Quote:
You all knew it was going to be Coleman or Shango
Quote:
Coleman shorty
Quote:
Flames are just beating them to just about every puck

This game screams loss and inability to get a 3 game winning streak going

You know when you're single and at a wedding talking to one of the bridesmaids and then your drunk uncle comes over and interrupts? That's Palat right now. Palat's your uncle.

The only good news is they are still tied and Calgary can’t play this hard all game
Huberdeau’s quick strike
Quote:
jesus christ
Quote:
Once we give up 1, we are almost guaranteed to give up another within 2 minutes. Happened under ruff and is happening this season. This team NEEDS a sports psychiatrist
Quote:
The mental broke with that first one goddammit
Quote:
ok well, ok, well
Quote:
come the f*** on
Quote:
So that’s how it’s gonna be huh? ####.
Quote:
Luke in no man’s land
Quote:
This team is so ####ing stupid. I seriously can't count how many times this core gave up multiple goals in a minute. They just throw their own pity party and stop playing after they get scored on. It was understandable when the team was young four years ago, but it's time to grow the #### up and get over it. It's pathetic and embarrassing.
Quote:
I saw that coming since they didn’t score at all in the first or second period
Quote:
Feeling real womp womp rn
Quote:
And that’s how you do a 2 on 1, folks!
Quote:
Ah, just realized it was a Chris Lee officiating game, that explains a lot.
Quote:
Telegraphed the pass all the way
Quote:
sorry everyone, my manifesting didn't work this time around.
Quote:
You can’t let that shot get off
Quote:
This really is a disgrace of a game.
Quote:
Terrible pinch but also a terribly played 2 on 1. Siegs needs to get one of those passes though. Boring game overall
Quote:
Horrible pinch but you can’t let 2 passes through on a 2on1
Quote:
Gave up 1 and panicked which took away any chance to get back in the game.
Quote:
like do I believe they can score two goals in four minutes? yeah.
will they given how this game has gone? it seems less than likely, but one can hope!
Quote:
Siegs was puck watching instead of covering his man. He was never gonna get the man to his left. Should’ve tied up his man.
Boring game made frustrating.
Goalman into the EN
Quote:
Well ####.
Quote:
Coleman whyyyyy
Quote:
Wow that stinks
Quote:
Never thought I would say this but #### you blake Coleman
Quote:
#### everyone that said to just get to OT.
Quote:
Pickles, how could you?!
Quote:
Games on the offense. Like seriously. Shutout to the ####ing flames?
Quote:
It’s illegal to win three in a row
Quote:
Nail in the coffin from Coleman - how appropriate
Quote:
Its ALWAYS ex devils ####
Quote:
Grandmother, how long has it been since the devils were able to win 3 games in a row?
Quote:
This team is an embarrassment. Losing to this scrub ass team in Calgary because our stars are p***yes and suck.
Cant get a 3 game win streak going for #### in over a year now
Quote:
Game definitely over.
Absolutely pathetic loss. I’m tired of hearing about how great we were defensively and how we have more high danger chances.

Markstrom played pretty good. But the Flames should've known by now to drop the scoring chances and start throwing more slow, unscreened shots square into his chest. He's helpless against those.
