Official GDT: Game 13 - Pens vs Devils - 11/05/18 7:08pm EDT

[Rx6687]

Puck management is really bad; everything is disjointed. I agree all the line combos are tedious. That Canada trip seems like a long time ago already.

My take: when things don't add up, start subtracting. Simplify, perhaps even go towards some modified version of a trap, to create some odd chances going the other way. Score off the counter-attack. Insulate Murray a bit better. If nothing else, it'll force the players to be more disciplined with the puck. Right now, it's like they are just throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks. They are a better team than that.

Looks like the only positive to this game was I didn't watch it.

Same for me, thanks to Center Ice having issues.

Dude, reddit nhl streams. Get with the times my guy

[NTP66]

Wasn't worth the effort for a Devils game.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Nor has it been for the last 4 games.

[skullman80]

I turned it off after the first. Looks like a good decision.

[NTP66]

It's still early, and they've shown flashes of brilliance (the entire western conference trip), but man are they hard to watch right now.

"On the ice, New Jersey simply adopted the same strategy every Eastern Conference team has adopted since the Penguins triumphantly returned from their undefeated western Canada road trip. New Jersey fastidiously got back on defense, clogged the scoring zones and yielded the perimeter to the Penguins who cherished it like a rookie prospector who found a brick of iron pyrite (fools gold)."

I was a bad fan and left with 7-8 minutes left.

I also wasn't feeling good and had been up since 5am.

Kingerski is really trying to capture the spirit of the **** thing.

[meow]

These shitty games are eating into my RDR2 time.

[Dickie Dunn]

Bryan Rust remains overpaid.

For some reason, I'm hung up on the fact that he clarified his iron pyrite reference when he really didn't need to.

Could it be that Brassard, for all his mehness since the start of the season, is the new Piece?

I'm joking; please don't send me to the bad takes thread.

The Brass Piece.

[NTP66]

His absence has been noticeable, so I can't wait for him to hit the ice again. Same for Schultz.

[MR25]

Having Schultz would ultimately mean less ice time for #73. Which is a good thing.
