I suck at starting game threads. Take Six.

[Dummy Hoy]

I really did not like those cup winning Devils teams, both because of their style of play and their personnel.

Of course this is one of the greatest moments in hockey history:

Keep it rolling

 

[LogansDad]

I have to say, I am seriously impressed by how much you suck at starting game threads, and I urge you to continue being so sucky.

 

[finsterfan]

From that moment on I always called him doughnut Don Koharski.

 

[Jordu]

Per Fluto:

Marchand-Bergeron-Connolly
Beleskey-Krejci-Eriksson
Vatrano-Spooner-Hayes
Ferraro-Talbot-Randell

Chara-McQuaid
Seidenberg-C. Miller
Krug-K. Miller

Loui increasing his trade value!

 

[TFP]

There's no way Loui gets traded at this rate. They'll be buyers at the deadline.

Totally agree. I'd actually be pretty pissed if they traded him if things start working out the way they have for the last 6 weeks.

Colin Miller seems like a player to me. He's like the opposite of Kevin I that I almost never see him make a play and think "man that was horrible, who was that?"

 

[Terras]

In what world was that a trip? It was body to body, even if it wasn't dead on.

I'll take this one step further. The times when 48 makes an error its almost always because he is being aggressive, trying to get the puck out. I think you can excuse that from a young player because you can dream on what that looks like when he gets it all together and cuts down on those errors. 86 is the opposite. Almost all of his mistakes are passive. He's backing up for no reason, or he is waiting for his man to come to him, or he's standing around for no reason. There is zero upside to that kind of play.

Also i hate him, though I will admit he has been a bit better since he came back from injury.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Bullshit hit by Talbot. He should be in the box.

 

[The Napkin]

Yep. And should be getting a call from NY as well.

 

[catomatic]

Gionta not so strong on his skates there against Ferraro, then Palmieri jumps Landon, throwing haymakers and no call whatsoever. Weird night for the refs, I've seen a couple trips and one uncalled interference penalty. Typical treatment of the Bruins.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Yeah that should have resulted in a PP for the Bruins and was borderline instigator.

 

[teddykgb]

He's been pretty snakebitten from a scoring perspective but Beleskey has had a great month or so. Making a ton of little plays out there

Did Jack just read this post? Spoken almost verbatim

 

[FelixMantilla]

I wish Krejci had taken that shot. That was an easy goal.

 

[Terras]

Chara looked a million years old on that backcheck

 

[Jordu]

Gus!

 

[teddykgb]

Chara has had an awful penchant for turnovers that spring the other team this year. As big as his shot is and as good as he is at so many things he's really a risk to have out there in these situations

His stick work has taken a step back and he's lost a step. Years past, he would have picked that back before the skater got away from him. He's had a few of those missed pokes this game.

 

[teddykgb]

I'm starting to think that maybe we aren't going to beat Schneider with a big shot. Just a thought

Editooooooh Bergy

 

[FelixMantilla]

Well, can't say we haven't had chances in OT.

 

[Terras]

Schneider is the only thing keeping NJ alive. The Devils will be so lucky if this gets to a shootout.

 

[teddykgb]

Too bad for Vatrano. A snipe there would have been epic

 

[TFP]

Wow we got our money's worth in that OT. That was crazy.

Really wanted Vatrano to bury that one. What an effort.

 

[McDrew]

Spooner with the snipe of the top corner. That was good.

 

[Terras]

Talbot???

 

[FelixMantilla]

Talbot? What the fuck is Claude smoking?

 

[teddykgb]

Talbot is almost like a troll. How the hell did that happen

 

[Jordu]

Big night for Gus. We'll take the 2 points.

 

[Terras]

Water!

 

[TFP]

That game should have ended in a tie. Neither goalie deserved to lose.

B's 1 point out of 1st with 2 games in hand.

 

[Maximus]

Goalies were both great. Jimmy Hayes is a stiff.

Hayes is so weird. He's huge and surprisingly agile. He just never seems to make a play. It feels like something is there but nothing ever happens

 

[kenneycb]

I haven't been able to watch a lot but that sounds exactly like him at BC. Wasn't ever able to put it together to the same degree as his brother.

How soon we forget. Kevin was a bust until his senior year when he was teamed with Gaudreau.

 

[kenneycb]

That's pretty much exactly what I was referring to by "put it together".

This is mind-blowing.

 

[Jordu]

Who knows what'll happen the rest of the season, but may as well take this moment to offer a tip of the cap to Sweeney and Clode. Fighting for first place on New Year's Day? I sure as hell didn't see that coming.
