we should have just signed Sbisa like the Jets did, I’d have taken him as our 6th over the other 3

Phaneuf is still out there... he can't be any worse.
Quote:
Mueller has no clue what to do with the puck, Tennyson has no clue what to do without it.
Quote:
Meanwhile Butcher is like "What I wouldn't give to play with Lovejoy again".
Quote:
Tennyson doesn’t have a clue what to do with it either. He is just a really bad player even as a #6.
It’s weird some want to give up so much rope, while on the other hand want Gusev tossed into the sun.
The issue is one that has been brought up in the preseason. We are extremely shallow depth wise on the blueline. Painfully so.
Quote:
God Tennyson is so ****ing bad.

Blackwood makes the save on.........Tennyson?

Miserable start for Jack, bad penalty for Goose. Things are going as expected.

Shoot the damn puck guys.

I can’t ****ing stand these drop passes.

How often do we hear “and HE couldn’t collect the pass cleanly”... ####!!
Quote:
the lack of speed on our defense is being exposed heavily by calgary’s speed.
the flames’ offense is FAST
Quote:
Way too careless with the puck. Lucky to be up.
Quote:
Abysmal how easy we give up our blueline
Quote:
Blackwoood’s the only reason we’re not being blown out of the building.
Quote:
Palms getting too cute trying to get it out
Quote:
How many times is this team going to turn the puck over at the blueline?
Ryan backhands it top shelf
Quote:
1-1
Ryan beat Tennyson badly and beat Blackwood high.
Quote:
Pretty wild the Flames have never picked higher than 4th
Quote:
We were asking for that for a while because we can't stay the **** out of our D-zone.
It just keeps coming back in there.

Can we get rid of ****ing Tennyson already Hynes? You dumb prick?

Holy Tennyson just got walked by superstar DEREK RYAN

Tennyson is one of the worst d men I have ever seen

Tennyson and Severson might as well have just rolled out a red carpet in front of Blackwood.

Ahh guys the period started.
Crap oh well.
DEFINiTION OF A PYLON right there, yikes
Quote:
The 2 worst Devils defensemen combine on that Flames goal
1) Tennyson gets blown by like he's a Mite on Ice (just incredibly embarrassing)
2) Severson is needlessly wide, literally along the boards for no reason

That's all on Hall
Quote:
Hall tried to do way too much there and we got ****ed because of it .
Quote:
Veteran move by Hall to just give the puck away at the blue line.
Quote:
Severson leaving that post side wide open to chase a guy suban is chasing already.
Quote:
Horrid play by Hall there
Very weak defense by Hughes, you need to tie the guy up there in front of the net
Quote:
God ****ing dammit these are the same stupid plays that just bite this team in the ass every time. Hall does this way too much
Quote:
Again Hall causing goals.. for the other team
Infuriating. Hes been making dumb plays like this a Lot so far this year and they always directly lead to a goal fir the wrong team. Like, did Anybody Not see that coming?!
Quote:
Sami, you CAN'T let him make that pass!!!
Quote:
Severson makes mistake after mistake.
Good players realize that Severson is weak and they start pulling moves on him, realizing the chance of beating him with a simple dangle is easy.
Quote:
Why is the 4th line out there just after we give up a goal ? Flames kept the momentum going and surprised they didn’t get another one .
Hall probably has friends / family at the game. Quit F’ing around with the puck Hall and try to show off.
Sleeper Agent Hall & Double Agent Greene

And now Hall takes a careless high sticking penalty
Quote:
Hall really wants to play in calgary
Doing his best to help them win
Quote:
Can they afford him? Was thinking Calgary might be a possible destination just not sure they can afford him but he looks like he wants to play there!
Quote:
Hall have money on the Flames tonight ?
Quote:
Hall doing his best to suck tonight eh?
Quote:
Lol Hall you dunce. Doing his best to lose this period
Quote:
Trade Hall now. He’s playing like he doesn’t give a crap.
I don’t want that attitude around our young guys .
We have crap leadership . If Stevens still played he would rip into Hall and tell him to pull his head out of his ass
Quote:
LOL..Greene accidentally broke that up
Quote:
we back to scoring on our own goalie again? wasn't effective last year

WOW Backlund is playing 4D chess out there

I can’t wait for him to ****ing retire

What an amazing goal by Andy Greene!
**** off Captain wash up.
Quote:
What the **** is Greene thinking there?
Quote:
Wow that was beyond brutal.
Way to score on your own team Mr. Captain.
Quote:
Slick deflection goal by Andy
Quote:
I'm pretty sure Greene has as many goals against the Devils as for the Devils the past season and a bit.
Quote:
Well, Andy almost scored on Blackwood earlier on the PK. I guess it was bound to happen…
Quote:
To be fair Blackwood stopped the first pass Andy tipped
Quote:
We must be leading the league in own goals, right?
Hanifin with a backbreaker

Wouldn't be a Devils game without a last minute goal, #### this

The typical few-seconds-left-in-a-period goal against the 2019 Devils.
They MUST be on-pace for an NHL record for that.
Quote:
2-4. I just. Can't with the blown leads anymore. I thought we were starting to get past this. And… A late goal to boot. Great confidence killer.
Quote:
Zone entry is so easy for the flames, what he hell is going on
Quote:
Oh look another late period goal
Quote:
That's probably game.
May as well pull Blackwood next period and let Cory get beat up.
This has 7 goal against potential already.
Quote:
Hall can't even beat Lucic on the rush.
Quote:
Hall really **** the bed that period. He’s been in the league forever at this point and to do what he did on that second goal against, **** off man. Even if your coach is clueless, you just can’t play a shift like that. He should know better.
Quote:
It’s so frustrating, Hall looked great springing Hughes for the first goal and then he just sort of checked out of the game like he got his requisite point to make sure he gets paid and was like, ‘meh I’m good’.
Quote:
I don't think we had a shot on goal for at least the last 7+ minutes of the period.
I clearly remember looking at the app to see what shots were around 7.5 minutes left in the period and they were 18-13 Flames.
We're still stuck on 13 shots for the game and they have 25.
Quote:
They played that entire period like a penalty kill.
Quote:
You trying to tell me our inability to exit the zone is why we get scored on? NO! That’s not possible! /s
Quote:
2nd Period Summary:
-We have a slackjawed, lizard-shaped dip#### muttering to himself about 'bad puck luck' somewhere behind the bench
-The former MVP looks like an anchor on his current contract while his agent is literally at this moment asking for $13 million with a straight face
-Our penalty kill potted another own goal
-Jack Hughes still looks like one of the best players in the NHL at age 18

Leave Hall in Calgary

Trade hall for a bag of pucks at this point, mentally weak ****ing baby.
Quote:
It makes you wonder with Hall. I mean players have bad games but he’s like on another planet tonight. I don’t know what to make of it.
Quote:
I expect Hall will leave, hopefully we trade him soon.
Personally I think re-signing him is a mistake, kind of tired of his attitude and lazy play, we'll be fine without him.
Quote:
Can’t wait to trade Hall. I’m so tired of him.
Quote:
Awful. Awful. Period. Just reverting right back to the beginning of season. Starts w hall being an *******. Trade him already.
Quote:
I’m watching the game on Sportsnet. They just had a segment on Hall.
Eric Francis (Calgary journalist ) and Cory Sarich ( ex player now analyst) said they 100% believe that Hall is gone .They said:
1. He has had issues with the fans and the relationship is rough
2. He wants to be on a contender and the Devils have been bad this year and look they cannot see they being a contender with the goaltending they have.
3. Hall likes being in a city with more to do and be embraced by the fans and city.
4. Devils forward group looks promising but goaltending is a huge issue and they can’t see the Devils being competitive enough to keep Hall . Looks like Hall is not committed and not giving 100%
Quote:
Jesus, this is the worst I think Hall has ever looked as a Devil.
Quote:
Ya not wanting to give a guy 10 million a year when he gives up and stops trying when the team is not doing good.
Hall is deadly when he is on his game but he has looked terrible this year and it’s clear that he has given up on this team
Ridiculously Tilted Ice

Ugh I still miss Doc. Come on Devs

id settle for them just getting passed their own blue line 3 times.
Quote:
How do you play that bad in the second period and then come out in the third not fired up and sprinting for every puck?
Quote:
They've outshot us 20-5 since the start of the 2nd period.
But none of this is Hynes fault? We've been a joke possession team since he's been here.
The biggest BS line we're fed is the ''Attacking'' part of the stupid ''Fast, attacking supportive'' BS, which I realize was probably a Shero thing and not a Hynes thing, but reagrdless of who started it, I don't see any attacking out there, except by the other team and it's been this way for almost 5 years.
Quote:
We're the ones down by 2 and they are getting dominated. Can't even get it past center.

I thought the trailing team was supposed to generate more shots.
Quote:
This is pathetic. Can’t win a battle. Can’t win a faceoff.
Quote:
Just going through the motions waiting for the game to end.
Quote:
Incredibly soft team. Tkachuk, who’s been flopping like a fish all night, tries to embarrass them with a circus move and no one does anything. Thought Simmonds was gonna give it to him after the whistle but he just skated right by. They’re just going through the motions. Would be nice if someone showed a little ****ing fire
Quote:
Flames are content to just shoot the puck and use their mobility and our non-mobility to control the perimeter. it has been more than effective and caused the Devils to run around in chaos for most of the game, which has opened up lanes and allowed them to get to the danger areas. This game should be a clear cut case for why Hynes is not a suitable coach for this team.
Quote:
they were outcoached, period. Calgary is better systemically and their players know where each other are on the ice and how to generate offense. the same cannot be said for New Jersey under John Hynes with any consistency. They are also soft, unable to climb out of a hole, ever it would seem. There is no fight back.
Vintage Johnny Hockey
Quote:
How did the Devils have the puck and 2 seconds later, Johnny Gaudreau is all alone to go at Blackwood? Puck protection, get some, Devils

Wait, Gaudreau has 18 points against us in the last 6 games?
Jesus.

there’s something about Calgary that the devils just fall apart

I spend money on tickets here in Calgary every year for them to play like jackasses every time so I get a small sample how you all in NJ feel

Game. ****ing Tennyson. Who else.

We get to do this again tomorrow night! Same time, different place (sort of) with the same bald confused coach! can't wait. should be very good
Quote:
I never want to see Tennyson play another game for us
Quote:
Switched the channel when I saw Gaudreau sneaking past Tennyson before the pass, bench that clown already
Quote:
Why is Tennyson constantly on the ice with Gudreau? What IS that?
Quote:
Tennyson what are you?
Gaudreau just walked in and roofed it
Quote:
The fact that we get trapped in our zone in the last 5-6 minutes of a game in which we're trailing 5-2 is a joke.
And guess who was on the ice for that marathon D-zone shift?
Quote:
Classic Devils defensive zone shift. Everyone skating behind a player or the puck. Nobody ever in front of the play. Burning energy like mad for no reason.
Quote:
We are getting killed now
Quote:
Fourteen games in, only three ROW’s. Detroit has four, the other 29 teams have at least five ROW’s. I do not believe we are the worst team in the league. I cannot see how the coaching staff can remain much longer.
Quote:
Calgary finished what, near the top of the West last year? or close to it? Can’t say i’m surprised by this. They were really good in all areas, sticks on pucks, Devils couldn’t get out of their own zone cleanly all night. It’s one game, but it hurts. We have a long way to go.
Also this team definitely misses Jesper Bratt.
Friendly Fire
Quote:
Flames have had 3 goals in the last 3 periods go off the other team and in( including Arizona game).
Quote:
And another Flame goal scored by a Devil.
Yet another Flame strategy that fails to materialize come playoff time.
Quote:
Another deflected goal. Off a tip or Devils player.
F*** this league with PP's. ZERO CONSISTENCY. If a team commits 14 infractions. Call all 14. Dumbest refs out of any sport.
We should be getting at least 5 min a game with McDavid and Drai.
Quote:
****in Flames and the Hrudey circle jerk. Can’t take it anymore. Over to the Avs game.
Quote:
Atta boy Hallsy, giveaway for the 2nd flames goal and sitting in the box for the 3rd.
Quote:
Well the Flames jump up to right around first with them playing half the game on the powerplay so far. What a sham

Sounds like Devils fans are pretty frustrated with Hall. He's got elite skills but I don't believe he has the hockey smarts to match his skills as he's still making some of the bonehead plays he made as an Oiler.

I I think the Flames should step up and trade for Hall as a rental and not sign him.
Not sure how they would fit him under cap this season, but I'm sure it's possible.
Well that is just nonsensical. Why would you pay rental price of a 1st ++ and consciously NOT sign him?

When he starts to play like he has to do everything himself, he’s terrible.

You can take the player out of the oiler stench (trade is 1 for 1!) but you can’t take the Oiler stench out of the player.
Well that is just nonsensical. Why would you pay rental price of a 1st ++ and consciously NOT sign him?
Because Hall at 10m x 7 yrs is not desirable under the cap, but Hall on this team for a cup run is.
I should qualify that it is a gamble, obviously, and someone (not any of us) needs to make the call as to whether the team is good enough to risk it.
I like that the Flames seemed to take Peters’ criticism to heart, played accordingly, and won handily. That’s a good lesson for them.
I thought it was their best game of the year. Especially liked how when trailing 2-1 although dominating NJ, they just kept the pressure on until they succeeded.
The real test will come if they can continue this trend.
Hall is a good player but not a great player, he needs other players and isn't good enought to do it all himself. Unfortunately he still seems to think he is one of the great players and gets himself into trouble trying to do to much himself, where as when he uses the players around him he makes good plays, like the pass on their first goal.

Yeah that was the exact response you wanted from a team the coach called out. Shows everyone is on the same page.
Listening to the radio spot with Friedman, he mentioned teams that will be judged on their playoff results tend to have problems finding that hunger in the regular season. Mentioned that Toronto and Tampa also going through a little bit of that.
Definitely a game of good habits to build off from. Time to go streaking!

Last night really showcased his bad side. The offside he took at one point was so blatant and telegraphed that I had to wonder if he even knew what the offside rule was. I could just imagine what his teammates must have been thinking.
It's such a waste when a player with so much skill has such a low HIQ. He can still be an effective player, but not one you can constantly rely on. I would take him as a 2nd liner that can clean up on the PP, but not at his price tag.
