Id always take win 2, lose 1 but the defending recently is concerning. LA seem to be struggling so hope to capitalise
We need to bring Halonen back up and send Casey back down, he’s looked awful. Bring up Edwards and get Palat off jacks line. how many grade A chances is Jack going to feed him and not capitalize
So does this season really hinge on Pesce's health??? Seriously??? I don't understand the polarity of this team. I mean these 2 games were fucking BRUTAL. How can you dominate for 8 games, then play like this? Not dooming yet, but PTSD from 2nd half of last season is creeping in.
Agreed…. Mercer to 3C, Grits with Nico/Meier.
From there, I'd put Noesen with Mercer and Brown as a net-front guy. Glendening with Cotter and Halonen. And it Keefe really must have Lammikko, put him at RW on the 4th line in place of Lammikko. I'd also put Cholowski in instead of Casey. Forget handedness. Cholowski isn't great, but he has more experience than Casey.
I get what you are saying about the team being 8-3 and we should be happy about that. But maybe the doomers have a legit point here. You see them not showing up for first periods again, this has been going on for years, you see them dropping games vs bottom of the league teams, this too has been going on for a while. If you lose a game 8-4 that can happen, but you expect a response the game after, which obviously they didn't have. I mean, you want this team to compete. I'd you compare them to Carolina, the canes don't have many stinkers like this. If the get blown out, you can be damn sure they respond the next game and come out swinging. As long as the devils keep having the same issues the dooming won't stop because frankly, they have a right to because the team keeps showing the same issues season after season. Also, if you want that big winger just put Halonen on the Jack line. He at least has offensive upside. Palat has literally nothing.
They lost both games at the first minutes. Never change a winning team, why shuffle the lines when a D-man is out? Bring back Halonen and play with the same lines as before Peces injury. Not sure Casey is ready.
Anyway LGD👍🏻
Palat one assist in 11 playing on top line w Jack ,bratt not good
We need to replace Noesen with LaChance to inject some youth and energy. We also need to know when McEwen is coming back. We don’t have that grind & compete that we had when winning.
That was the first Regulation Win for the Sharks, and their first Win at home.
Crazy that we’ve only played 2 metro division games so far (Canes & Jackets).
I miss winning oh and Lammikos been invisible
They looked like the 23 -24 devils
Going from winning 8 straight followed by 2 blow outs. It’s a collapse at this point unless they can turn it around in the next 2 games. Also, is Keefe serious about him liking the 1st period?! That was by far their worst period of the season. Even to someone watching hockey for the first time would tell you that it was very sloppy and sluggish.
Bipolar hockey again. Losing the consistency message again. In the 3 losses, letting up 19 goals indicates to me that the offense is taking too many chances to get back in the game, they lose defensive structure. Move on and reset again. Need to win the next one.
Let me preface, I am not a doomer. I think as fans, we need to remember that we made the playoffs by one point last year and then got bounced in the first round hard-core. The only roster changes were technically two depth guys and grits. We are not going to know what we have in this team until about the 60 game mark. Nothing would surprise me, teams adapt to us, and we need to see a lot of improvements if we are serious about this season.
My one main complaint is the one that I said in the off-season. Giving Luke a massive deal was just not necessary, but I get why it was done because of his brother. When you actually look at the needs of the team, it was not a third line left-handed defenseman that may or may not produce some offense. It’s unfortunate because that $9 million could’ve been used much differently. Again, it’s just an unfortunate situation and I don’t know that Fitz did the wrong thing, it just hurts that they are brothers because of that added pressure.
No dooming this is hockey gonna lose some rough ones gotta bounce back
Ace !!!!! My freaking dude , once again.. always love being a part of the channel and the highs and lows of every season.. .. tough one to watch last night. We can’t keep having to claw back down 4/3 goals early on.. it only makes the games harder .. secondly i agree moving merc to 3c and bringing back halonen in.. had no issue with his shifts .. good role player in my opinion.. hopefully we bounce back against the kings
I don’t disagree with anything you said Ace, but Palat is a black hole currently. High danger chance after high danger chance just for him to bury it in the goalies chest. We need an upgrade, he really brings down what should be one of the best lines in the NHL.
They need to DESPERATELY fix their starts! This is a last season problem! Keefe needs to find another way to get his team ready to go at puck drop!
Only take away is this shows that we can’t have slow starts it will cost later in game.
Ace, bowled last night with the Pesce's. Obviously would not reveal the injury but 4-6 weeks.
I have no faith that they'll win the next 2. 8-5 record coming up.
Ace, know the philosophy right now is to address the injuries internally and I hate this cliche of tread water until guys get healthy but thats what it seems they will try to do. Calgary is going nowhere fast and I know will he will be a UFA but thoughts on Andersson. I'm being a hypocrite because I don't believe you should trade assets for an impending FA but they might want to at least consider it now? This has to be the year and I/we expected they'd fall into holes (lose a few) but right now defensively this looks like they fell into a canyon. Yeah…8-3 who wouldn't sign up for that? Hell when looking at the schedule initially I would have taken 7-4 and even 6-5 so they've exceeded my expectations but you know how quickly things can turn on a dime when other teams in the Division string together wins or take 2 of 3. I know Keefe is not totally in favor of a scrap but I thought last night was the time to do it.
Still with this squad, but man they gotta figure something out.
It's simple. The devil came to Colorado with a stagger and left with his tail between his legs. Then he went out to California and discovered that it's tough to skate that way. Hopefully, for you, the devil's got some humility.
The record is good but more important is the consistency of play. I wouldn’t mind if they lost these two games so much if they had played hard and looked competitive. Also concerned with Luke’s offense. He’s skating well and his defense is improving, but he’s under performing offensively and that’s part of his game that we need.
Imagine having Quinn out there these last two games? I think you’re right about people buying for 8-3 . It’s a long season in a tough sport, what I saw those first 8 games tells me we’ll be back on top.
I would just try Gritty on Jacks line..if he has players like Jack and Bratter setting him up those palat chances wouldve been likely goals
Last nights game was so depressing. I turned it off at 4-1.
Three point blank shots in front of the net, one has to go in. You can't be on the top line taking up a valuable roster spot and miss all three, it's non negotiable.
Ace is a trooper for recapping the late stinker games.
Man good or bad devils teams, they always struggle on the west coast trips. I’m not panicking. LGD
Still 8-3…which is still good…but we MUST bounce back and win the next game….the defense has broken down the past couple games.
Best old school non Devils goalie, without a doubt, Vladislav Tretiak. Marty Brodeur even trained with him, although Tretiak preached the butterfly like a religion and Marty even said he wasn't that kind of goalie.
