At least they showed up today

alright. 2 out of 8 points.

I'm also not sure why Bratt isn't in the SO considering he's pretty good at it

Goddamnit it sure sucks when the refs decide a game like that. It was at least a good game.

Whoever runs the P.K. needs to figure it the (frank) out. 6 for 12 this season is unbelievable

Until Hughes gets his first...cant be on top 3 of the shootout!

The PP hasn't scored yet either. Special teams disaster.

I mean it was a huge blown call on Hall, but we also had 3 separate leads in this game and couldn't hold any of them. This team still has a long way to go.

bad as that ending was, NJ played their best game so far - and Hughes with Zacha showcased a lot more of Hughes because Zacha is one of the only guys out there giving him space.

Hughes actually had shots and made plays tonight. He's primed to have a breakout game.

Love Bratt with Gusev. Boqvist is simply the guy at the dance without a date, yet. It'll come. Someone will get injured or something and he'll come in.

They all need to be euthanized.

Maybe that is a bit strong. Forgive me, I am just a little mad.

Remember when Devils had goals called back because of "intention" to blow the whistle. Pepperidge farm remembers.

Very nicely done.

No. Totally on point.

But it’ll lead to roster problems so we should pass for now.

It's time.

Agreed

They played better but it's still showing that we aren't where we could be

Up 4-0 game one loss
Blown out vs buffalo
Pathetic showing against division rival Philly
And had 3 leads last night and lost

Something needs to be done to get the season going in the correct way

Couple questions:

1. Hynes and Hall: if Hynes gets canned, does Hall have any sort of loyalty to him?
2. Assuming Hynes gets canned (and given everyone’s observations about this team being a fast/attacking team), who would you consider a replacement that can work with this sort if a roster? A retread? Bylsma? Someone in AHL? Another assistant on an NHL team?

Bylsma? Yeah he’s a really good head coach.

Fun fact. Of the 4 games played, in two of the games we were never trailing. I don't know if this helps or hurts more though.

It is kinda funny/sad that if the shootouts went our way (I'm a believer that most shootouts are a coin flip) we could be 2-2-0 right now and would probably feel a lot better about life even with the team playing nearly identical games.

it's a good thing. we gave a point to a western conference team. so it won't hurt us making the playoffs, and if we're not a playoff team and want to finish worse in the standings, it gives Edm a point!

Like the optimism


BTW - who's bright idea was it to have the POS #99 in the broadcast booth last night? I STILL REMEMBER!

For any other team it's a coin flip

We haven't won a shootout in what 4 years it seems! Let alone score in one

Four games in and I'm tired of watching this mess. Some things definitely looked better like Mueller and Wood didn't look completely lost... BUT this team seems to play a weak brand of hockey.

Even with the improved play I can't believe this team is going anywhere until there is a coaching change. It's the same garbage as last year with better players. So the skill level is up but collective they are still a mess.

Loved watching Goose and Bratt. Wish Boqvist could get in on this action.
