I agree, because he did more damage than just on the surface. Poor drafting during his tenure is hurting the team now and will continue for the foreseeable future.

Agreed. Part of the reason the bottom 6 isn't filled with guys who can score is because this team is built on star players who are expected to score - especially on the power play. In essence, the power play has been SO bad, it has negated the outstanding goaltending this team has received from both...

There's always someone available for the right price. But that's the rub. So many teams need goaltending help, and that will raise the cost of the ones who are available.

I think Devils have already gotten the worst goaltending imaginable and will strive to fix it. This might be closer to their low end. They also haven't had Jack for splotches... They have been without Hamilton for quite a few games also, so yeah, they are a good bet to improve if they get healthy. ...

Any time the Devils and Caps both lose on the same night, it makes my day. There are several teams in the East with a disastrous goaltending situation, and that will be even more apparent as these games start to tighten up down the stretch. The teams with leaky goalies will drop out of the middle of...

I agree that a magical run like 2009 or 2016 is not possible with this roster. However - not only are the majority of teams in the conference struggling, but many of them are having goaltending issues, and serious ones at that. So, yeah, this current roster would be cannon fodder for a few of the te...

What happened to Karlsson being a game changer

Well, he has been... but not in a good way.

I'm not a big dumpster dive guy...but I'd actually consider putting in a claim for Adam Ruzicka in Calgary. He can shoot, he's 6'4", there's some skill in space in there, I believe he thinks the game fairly well...but, despite being a big body, he doesn't play hard, he's not tough to play against, ...

Slow, lazy start.

Meh, it would have been nice to get at least one point there, considering they had the lead going into the 3rd, but it is what it is.

I'll take the point, thanks to Jarry and Sid.

There are several players on really big tickets who are consistently f*cking up prime scoring chances and basic fundamental hockey plays. And their "hockey IQ" turns to liquid s**t in overtime. End rant.

Jarry stopped a barrage early that period and Sid gave them a shot in the 3rd. Should be a good period. Aside from that flaccid PP, the Pens had the edge in play towards the end there.

Power play just has to be better. That was weak AF

I don’t really blame Needledick for any of the goals

I don't either, and I'm a huge Ned supporter. but I still agree with KC and would have gone with Jarry tonight.

Should have started jarry. Not a fan of how sullivan is handling the goalies right now. If you want to split time then alternate them like ullmark/swayman

I was hoping someone would agree with me; was going to post the same thing earlier but got bombarded at work.

Jarry.

This game should be 6-2 Canucks.

Also, Reilly Smith is out for the game?

We wouldn't know if he were on the ice or not, TBH

Can't come out with an effort like that against a quality opponent.

POJ needs to grow a pair. Jesus.

Thats 4 points for Big Jeff Carter in the last 6 games I believe.

Mark down that shift by Harkins if they come back and win this game.

Sportsnet listed 43 as Heinen for us in the lineup.

That said, I'd give a draft pick for our announcers to be John Shorthouse and Ray Ferraro.

Hell yeah, especially given the quality of their drafts during recent years. That would be a steal for us.

Good bounce back win for the team and for Ned. It's great to beat these chodes in regulation on their home ice.

DOC becoming a legitimate top-6 option would go a long way for this team. I think he ultimately lacks the vision and creativity but he is still useful there at times It's important to have a couple of guys who can at least fill in there. I do like where his game is right now. Wasn't a big fan prior...

3 points from Sid last night, who just had a whale of a game overall, but one thing from that game stands out today and it didn't show up in his stats. In the dying seconds of the game, Sid raced back to negate an icing and beat the Caps player to the puck, and it made me pause for a moment and real...

The goalies have bailed the power play out many times this season, and tonight the power play bailed out the goaltending. Huge deuce tonight.
