Post game thread

[u/snootchie_bootch]

If we lose tonight, I call dibs on tomorrow’s “Fire Keefe” post. 

[u/MountainBaker8217]

Nico Hischier blocking shots, whats that about him being a soft captain?

fuck off.

[u/Worth_Average_9652 → u/MountainBaker8217]

He’s literally been laying his body on the line for this team since day one idk what ppl are on about calling him soft 😭😭

[u/nrepasy]

[u/kimberussell]

Mantha scored after people dumped on him. Nico scored after someone said he should lose the C. Someone rip up Jack now please?

[u/HockeyNightinJersey]

Leave Sheldon in Detroit if we lose this one

[u/MountainBaker8217]

you know what. at least this is fun hockey!

[u/Worth_Average_9652 → u/MountainBaker8217]

it’s also giving me heart palpitations 🤣

[u/DowdzWritesALot]

"The first ten minutes of this game have been all Devils! Anyway, back to talking about Larkin..."

[u/SubElitePerformance]

The duality of Reddit

[u/rojapa]

Need a lights out third period to feel decent about our chances against the Rangers on Thursday. Didn’t think I’d be saying that coming into this season, but here we are.

[u/ScrewOff_]

to the guy who commented before to take the C off of Nico

go suck a dick

[u/dan4hockey99]

A lead? In this economy??

[u/rojapa]

Jack line looking so much better with Grits

[u/obtused]

Me putting the game on,

1 goal on 3 shots?

20 seconds later,

2 goals on 4 shots?

Me turning off the game

[u/beachy927]

Can’t wait to see that deserve to win thing and hear about all the Xg in this game. Enough is enough. Something has to change asap.

[u/nostradamefrus]

NEVER PUT MANTHA ON JACK’S LINE AGAIN

[u/JonnoKabonno]

But that’s NJD leading goal scorer Nico Hischier to you! Cap is cooking!

[u/Looouuu]

Did I see the wings player clear Allen’s stick? Isn’t that a penalty?

[u/MountainBaker8217]

Dougie is not having a good game

[u/Batfleck666]

Ray, all Devils wait a split second too long to shoot, that's their M.O.

[u/beachy927]

I won’t be annoyed when it’s 1-0 them. I won’t be annoyed when it’s 1-0 them. I won’t be annoyed when it’s 1-0 them. (I’m lying)

[u/segfaultbanana]

[u/Kornja81]

Should've kept Nemo over Dougie. What a fucking bum he is

[u/Me-it_is]

Our fearless leader

https://giphy.com/gifs/kaB3BDx1C6XHEYNYO4

[u/JonnoKabonno]

I’ll give the announcers that chirp, that’s exactly how I feel

[u/nrepasy]

https://giphy.com/gifs/tdAhifFtaUJpMSQVqu

[u/scrappyo]

Youre right, I cant believe we scored 2 times in the last 3 shot attempts.

[u/TheDopestTrip]

Not sure what's worse tonight, Jacks shooting, Allen's goaltending, or Hamilton's everything. 

[u/Batfleck666]

Hoping we get at least a point against Detroit tells you all you need to know about where this team is at right now

[u/PicNov91]

Goaltending is still one of if not the most glaring issue with this team.

[u/Creative_Repair8970]

Lmao what is this team fucking doing? Yeh keefe needs to go if he can’t fix this stuff, these are simple fixes

[u/MountainBaker8217]

and a Dawson Mercer assist to put the cherry on the guys this sub hates cake

[u/DowdzWritesALot]

I didn't have dog shit Red Wings vs underperforming Devils in a near empty stadium as one of the most exciting games in recent memory on my bingo card but here we are

[u/TronVin]

Tapping the sign that says "Goalies are supposed to come up clutch too and not just let in every defensive breakdown."

[u/drew_z]

The Dougie-Siegenthaler pair needs to be launched into the fucking sun holy shit they’re bad

[u/Unfair_Cauliflower99]

Dougie is fucking horrific 

[u/SergeantTushFinger]

Good for Noesen man, love to see him make that play

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

We should play bad teams a lot more often. It’s a lot more fun to watch

[u/AT0MLFRS]

Being tied right now is ridiculous..

[u/Frenchthealpaca]

Losing when the shots are 18-4 is so far beyond unacceptable I can't even begin. I'm gonna block out this shit in my memory so quick in May.

[u/MountainBaker8217]

what was that about taking the C off Nico?

[u/Tbone2797]

I'm so tired of Keefe hockey. The few times we actually have a lead, we completely stop attacking and play even deeper in our defensive zone

[u/beachy927]

A game we actually score and we can very possibly lose.

[u/Chico_ftw]

does anyone on the planet actually like "liberty biberty"? does anyone find it funny? why have they decided thats what they're sticking with in every commercial?

[u/Critical_Gur_7785]

Team comes in sitting back, Keefe needs to go

[u/poHATEoes]

All the casual fans raging on Lombardi... kid has checks notes 5 NHL games under his belt... everyone chill out

[u/rojapa]

Coming into tonight’s game Timo leads the team with 23 SOG and has 1 assist and 0 goals. Mantha has the least SOG by any Devils forward with 6 in 5 games played. Two terrible stat lines.

Boqvist has 2 goals with 8 SOG in only 3 games played for what it’s worth. The more you know.

[u/Existing_Tomorrow372]

Dillon out is the right decision. Might not mean anything regardless

[u/Able-Hold-2825]

The devils are 0-2 in frozen frenzy games and have allowed 8 goals in both of them. Low bar to clear tonight

[u/Me-it_is]

This is not a drill we have scored first!!!!!!! Stanley cup here we come

[u/CloBowl]

[u/njmjc]

Not having the lead after that period is classic Sheldon Keefe Devils

[u/sneaxsneax]

Should be 3-1 now

[u/MountainBaker8217]

Red Wings with only five shots on net are dominating us right now. we look completely lost now.

[u/Go_Devils_666]

Mercer and Mantha free from the whipping post.

[u/ManBehindtheLens]

FIRE THE STICK COMPANIES

[u/sgtbig21]

NICO!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAP CAP CAP

[u/brokowska420]

I'm not thrilled it's 4-3 but those were the type of goals we just haven't been getting lately.

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

Siegs just saved a goal. This is horrific neutral zone play when defending a lead. Just giving up a million odd man rushes against

[u/CloudBasedOne]

It’s the NHL. Grits has to one time that. The split second to stop it allowed the goalie to get over.

[u/Edboy04]

This teams special talent is making beer league goalies look like prime Marty

[u/eburton555]

My man dougie you look washed

[u/ACDunne]

Wes makes the correct call? Hell froze over.

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

Jack is an OT merchant lmao

[u/nostradamefrus]

INSTAGRAM HOCKEY THANK YOU

[u/Looouuu]

Grits with jack n bratter is a solid change need that line to produce

[u/ManBehindtheLens]

I’m ready to get hurt again, let’s go

[u/jimbo422]

Holy shit we scored first!

[u/eburton555]

Not into the chest and it goes in the net you love to see it

[u/Frenchthealpaca]

Holy fucking finally. Why haven't we taken a major yet?

[u/TomorrowFederal1866]

Noesen kind of buzzing tonight, maybe getting sent down will get him going

[u/drew_z]

Mantha take your time bro no worries

[u/VanDerZappa]

Absolutely buzzing only to have a dumbass breakdown like that

[u/gwords16]

We’re gonna outshoot them 40-12 tonight and lose 3-1

[u/Used-Celery5571]

Having watched the devils of the last few years has really soured watching hockey for me. It’s the same reason I stopped playing chel. Fuckin 17 shots to 3 and it’s tied 🤣 literally like an online game of chel. Alright that’s my emo rant see yall for the 2nd

[u/MountainBaker8217]

so are we just doing what we did last night again? amazing first period completely cancelled out by a second period?

[u/AT0MLFRS]

4 SoG and the Devils are down.. come the fuck on.

[u/Batfleck666]

Why didn't the Detroit player shoot it at Allen's logo?

[u/_viserion__]

Please lock in Devils

[u/dan4hockey99]

insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results…

[u/rojapa]

Should be 3-1 on 5 shots. Crazy

[u/ILoveToHockey]

FUCKING STOP. YOURE A PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY TEAM. HOW ARE WE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES GAME AFTER GAME?

[u/Equivalent-Two6704]

Can someone explain why people think defensive minded Torts is the one that will fix this team that can't score for love or money?

[u/Zealousideal_Wave341]

Every scoring chance opposing teams have on us...usually it's Dougie on the ice. Hes just too slow to keep up and to be top pairing. Siegs hasn't been great either but feels like Dougie puts him out of position and he has to pick up slack

[u/unhalfbricking]

https://giphy.com/gifs/iHCi2sYO2rP4Q

[u/Zajac19]

BREAKING: Anthony Mantha FOUND ALIVE AT 32

[u/VanDerZappa]

Also excellent pass from Mercer. That's what we want more of!

[u/ETNJ]

Beauty pass by Mercer. Let the Mantha goal gates open

[u/gleeson630]

Oh wow the “guy who shouldn’t even be on the team” scores.

[u/SubElitePerformance]

https://giphy.com/gifs/lWtKNtdZ4DOmXKNyXL

[u/Frenchthealpaca]

Thank goodness for Nico Hischier

[u/irishgoodbyesss → u/Frenchthealpaca]

Bro actually wanted to stay here. I can’t believe he’s so perfect and he’s ours.

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

Can we please keep the lead this time?

[u/nostradamefrus]

HE GOT IN THE GOALIE’S KITCHEN. DO MORE OF THAT

[u/MountainBean3479]

This team is so goofy sometimes

[u/krvrvri]

Nico for the win!

[u/MountainBaker8217]

Nico's goal makes that his 202nd career NHL goal which ties him for third along with Travis Zajac and Bobby Holík for most goals in franchise history.

[u/Frenchthealpaca]

Every fucking time they need a save man. Like clockwork.

[u/trektostng]

How the fuck did that not go in. Holy shit

[u/silvermarsh]

I would like to see Poirier get a shot sometime…

[u/NJersey_Joe]

That Boqvist chance is haunting me right now

[u/robsul82]

In some cultures an .800 SV is good

[u/sneaxsneax]

Doo doo team. We have no business being this bad. 

[u/rojapa]

Debrincat, Seider and Finnie absolutely destroying our defense. Daws and Allen both about to have two of the worst save% in the league. Unreal

[u/Amazing-Disk7212]

Send Douglas to the god damn moon

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

I just knew when they showed we’re 25-0 with a lead after 2 dating back to last season that we were cursed tonight

[u/Beautiful_Level_3259]

Dougie almost gets burned again at the end of the game. BENCH HIM HES FUCKING TERRIBLE

[u/tomftw]

I do not give a shit about Dylan Larkin

[u/JugglingJuggalo]

This game is a perfect example of you can’t let a bad team hang around, at least in the first period. Turns out we are also a bad team.

[u/Kornja81]

The entire dcore needs a rebuild aside Pesce and Luke. This team is playing timid again and Keefe looks lost per usual

[u/Able-Hold-2825]

Pretty pathetic to take this dogshit red wings team to OT win or lose the performance tonight is not acceptable

[u/Jitsu4]

Point is great, dont get me wrong, but why are we going to overtime against a listless, Captain-less Detroit organization who has one triggerman in Debrincat?

[u/MountainBaker8217]

JACK HUGHES SCORES THE BEST GOALS!

[u/TediousSpark]

Oh thank FUCKING GOD HE DID THE THING

[u/Veesus26]

Fuck you doomers see you back here Thursday night

[u/SubElitePerformance]

That save from Gibson there is exactly the kind of save we’re NOT getting from either Allen or Daws so far.

They’re doing their jobs but not getting anything extra

[u/eburton555]

Movable object vs stoppable force. Only one can win

[u/Rough-Loan1837]

Does everything finally UNO Reverse for us tonight? Lombardi gets his first against his "old team" 👀👀

[u/Batfleck666]

Lineup changes are a good first step. Now, score the 1st goal 🤞

[u/rojapa]

MANTHA POINT EROD GOAL DEVILS SCORE FIRST EXTEND KEEFE

Edit: Nevermind, thought Mantha got a touch there but he didn’t, still 0 points. Fire Keefe on the back burner for now.

[u/nostradamefrus]

Hot take is Noesen actually not washed and playing with a former Panther is what we need to unlock him?

[u/SaintPat]

let the record show I have never said a bad thing about Evan Rodrigues even going back to his college days

[u/Equivalent-Two6704]

ERod from Noesen was not on my bingo board.

[u/Jitsu4]

What is with this fucking monologue. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK HOLY

[u/realfakedoors5]

It wasn’t much, but man was it refreshing to see Rodrigues just rip one in the high slot on the rush. So many times that puck is just carried into the corner or dumped off to the wall

[u/Frenchthealpaca]

Grits looks decent with Jesper and Jack. Better than Mantha at any point.

[u/DowdzWritesALot]

[u/Kornja81]

Looks like another game where the other team gets caved in and scores a goal the first chance they get 

[u/m4hleon]

Unreal we aren't leaving this period with a lead

[u/Frylok1177]

THE SHOTS ARE 16-3, THE GAME SHOULD NOT BE FUCKING TIED!

[u/Frenchthealpaca]

"The first player of NHL and Thai descent" every second I listen to this broadcast I lose brain cells.

[u/Ill-Exercise-5904]

Lol they just do it to themselves every time

[u/eburton555]

Lmao mantha speed level 0

[u/poHATEoes]

Bruh that lazy back checking and lazy defense strikes again

[u/tokugawabloodynine]

1 goal on 3 shots....what the hell man. How can we dominate on offense and let thet happen

[u/savi0r23]

this is so frustrating lol

also mantha, at least get a shot off brah. skating with cement shoes

[u/Able-Hold-2825]

We’ve seen dogshit hockey before but nothing is more painful than this. Dominating all night and still losing because of 2 defensive lapses

[u/rojapa]

[u/gwords16]

This team fucking sucks.

[u/VindictiveRakk]

Dougie Hamilton needs a shock collar every time he thinks of pinching, this dude skates slower than I did when I was a PeeWee, go stand at our fucking blue line

[u/Apprehensive_Fly_103]

This team seems to think that whoever gets the most shots on goal wins the game lol

[u/SW777]

So hard to be positive with this team for so many years now

[u/JoshvsFood]

This really feels like a game that is at the end of last season because God I just want to turn this off because we all know how it's going to end. I shouldn't be felling this 6 games in

[u/Kornja81]

Dougie and Siegs hasnt worked in 3 years and Keefe just sticks with them...... just end this experiment already 

[u/NJDevils30]

Broadcast started by shitting on the Detroit goalie yet Devils score 1 on 18 shots and give up 2 on 4 shots

[u/SevenwithaT]

WHAT A PASS FROM MERC DOG

[u/nostradamefrus]

FORMER TEAM CURSE ON OUR SIDE

MANTHONY MANTHONY

[u/worthlessoracle]

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/beachy927]

Nico!!! You came through for me!!!

[u/Neat-Zebra-6928]

THE SWISS PRINCE DEMANDS MORE GOALS

[u/Bookscoffeewine]

Bob W throwing absolute shade right now, he’s not wrong but man did he have to say it

[u/Angryblak]

sad to see ppl down on Noeson. I love his game and the high energy he brings

[u/VanDerZappa]

Heart attack shift

[u/trektostng]

No idea how Allen saved that lmao. Im not sure even he knows lol

[u/ferfi17]

I kind of think taking Mantha off Jack's line gave him a little breathing room

[u/Able-Hold-2825]

Turned on the frozen frenzy whip around coverage and my god Buccigross is brutal

[u/nostradamefrus]

Gritsy plz

[u/EngelSterben]

Great fucking save by Allen

[u/nostradamefrus]

Thank you big Jake

[u/MountainBaker8217]

caaaaaaan't keep a lead. not gooooooooood.

[u/poHATEoes]

That is how Keefe wanted us to defend a lead? Oh boy

[u/toiletting]

This team is so frustrating. When we actually score goals, we allow the other team to score twice as many as they should.

[u/VanDerZappa]

Oh my god Dougie please never do that again

[u/Able-Hold-2825]

Get rid of this entire d core minus Luke they’re brutal

[u/corkyrooroo]

Dougie is a complete disaster

[u/ACDunne]

They are just trying for the point at this point.

[u/MountainBaker8217 → u/ACDunne]

to be fair thats valid given that not getting loser points was something that really fucked us in seasons prior

[u/MountainBaker8217]

ew we only have three shots in this period?!

[u/Go_Devils_666]

Passing it to Siegenthaler in the O zone effectively ends the attack, he’s brutal.

[u/yourbreakfast99]

Bitch skated his head into his elbow thats absurd

[u/crazyFlyingChicken]

Raymond runs into Hischier’s elbow. That should not be a penalty. Good call by the refs

[u/Iamstryker]

A ref call, going our way?

Not an he intended to blow the whistle?

[u/raezor30]

it's crazy to blow that play dead.

[u/Neat-Zebra-6928]

J’ACCUSE WITH THE OT DAGGER

[u/brmgp1]

Kind of wild that Nico is about to be our #3 goal scorer all time

[u/poHATEoes]

Jack just refusing to get that puck because he might get bumped 😑

[u/Kornja81]

They need an actual coach. Not one player is ever held accountable and they make the same mistakes over and over

[u/SubElitePerformance]

Kovacevic is in for Dillon

[u/MountainBaker8217]

DILLON HEALTHY SCRATCH
MANTHA THIRD LINE
GRITS WITH PB AND J

Keefe is capable of change!

[u/Tmattfie30]

Do I need a separate fucking package outside of espn+ to watch this?!?!?

[u/Smooth-Mechanic-7788]

I too would rearrange my nuts like that on national tv LETS GO DEVILS

[u/MountainBaker8217]

Grits already shooting more than Mantha did...

[u/MountainBaker8217]

we gotta convert with all this o zone time, man.

[u/MountainBaker8217]

WE SCORED FIRST! WE SCORED FIRST! WE SCORED FIRST!

[u/scumbagstaceysEx]

OMG we scored first!

[u/DowdzWritesALot]

1-0 US 1-0 US 1-0 US

[u/NJDevils30]

I was going to say I was hoping for a big game from Grisham and Grislick but they must be scratched since Don isn't commentating

[u/blade430]

Holy shit Noesen is buzzing

[u/MountainBaker8217]

also because I am the first to harp on him, Mantha going to the net and blocking the goalie's eyes on that ERod shot was good work

[u/TheChozoBard]

Grits on the Jack and Bratt line was such a better choice

[u/Chico_ftw]

Siegs is of "NHL and Thai descent"

...

[u/TheChozoBard]

As is tradition

[u/TediousSpark]

Yeah cmon we all knew this is how it’d go

[u/Batfleck666]

Friendly reminder: Gibson had a .862 save % coming into this game.

[u/Ok_Jackfruit_5181]

Allen needs to have that one too

[u/metaldeval]

Its amazing what happens when you dont shoot it right at the crest of the goalie

[u/Donex101]

about to have 45-15 in shots and lose 4-2
