this team sucks!!!!

[nj_cup]

Another shootout loss lol 0-9 on the season and they scored 1 goal all season which btw was by a rookie! This team is beyond bad and next year it will be the exact same.


Should've sent ruutu out there.



Is it really that hard for anyone on our team to shoot high? Hey patty you've done that move all season it hasn't worked lift the puck!!!!!!!.

Everyone says the shootout is a skills competition. Think the record and goals scored speak volumes to what this team is

 

[DevFan60]

I keep saying the same during every game. And it is true for all Devils players. Not to be able to lift the puck stinks. And it is a big reason why we are at the bottom of the league in scoring during the games and shootouts.

Brunner should have had at least 2 goals yesterday but didn't elevate the puck.
Not saying this team is great and deserves the playoffs, but they pissed away so many points this season.
Shootout and just holding onto leads.

 

[CalamityX11]

Brunner is a bum but since he's old he'll have unlimited chances....

God forbid it was Boucher playing...

Every team in the east outside of Boston and Pittsburgh sucks to some degree.

If we were 4-5 in shootouts instead of 0-9 we'd be in the top 8 right now.

True, but the shootout thing has gotten fuckin ridiculous. I think we are about 1 out of 27 0r 30. I think if you just wailed slap shots from the top of the circle you'd do better than that....

 

[CalamityX11]

Fucking Christ... How many devils can't score on s shootout.... Fucking done

 

[nj_cup]

Stupid they don't lift the puck! Jj goes down and pots it top shelf. How fuvking hard is it? Elias try was insanely bad the goalie was already down he looked lost at that point and still tried 5 hole. Rutu took a regular wrister low without even making a move. Sisto gets in too tight to do anything.

Jj zid Travis all get the puck high and they are the closest to score

Elias is just so lackadaisical about shootouts. I love the guy but he pisses me off so much with his weak shootout attempts. We would have won that one if not for the stupid post on Zajac's attempt. One of the easiest final 10 game schedules in the league and we can't even beat Buffalo and a rookie goalie? Ugh.

 

[CalamityX11]

Surprised Ryder didn't get a look

 

[irishwhip03]

As frustrating as it is to not score on em I think its even worse to know the first shooter for the other team will always score a goal to put us down.

Beyond comical at this point think it said 0-11 now and 0-14 which is a nhl record

All those kovy haters and people that don't think zach was worth what he got? Team would be in the playoffs with zach on this team and those playoff dollars would equal the cost of his salary

 

[MadCaptain]

season series sweep by the Buffalo Sabres!

Never a Kovy hater as you know. But Zach is not worth what he got

and the REAL killer isnt just losing another shootout, its WTF are we doing GOING to another shootout against a frap team like Buffalo...inexcusable

 

[CalamityX11]

Shocking ruutu isn't helping with the scoring....

 

[nj_cup]

i agree zach isn't worth what hes getting paid. buuuuuut he would help us get into the playoffs and as you saw with a cup run (not saying we would be on one) beek did bank 35 million. so yeah you kinda do have to spend money to make money. in the nhl making money is in the playoffs.

 

[nj_cup]

ruutu should be the final nail in lou's coffin. last year steve sullivan was beyond stupid this is just insane since we have ruutuu for another 2 years! and we dealt a 3rd rounder to get him lol.

just like with bryce salvador being traded here. you have to take in context who we are trading with.

the blues dealt us bryce our captain for cam jansen. ask yourself....if we wanted to acquire cam jansen what would we be willing to give up? adam larrson? or say peter harrold?


just like with the canes.....at the deadline they were still fighting with us for the 8th seed. they just think hey we will trade you this guy so he can HELP you beat us for the playoffs? yeah most teams aren't that nice. lou def got fleeced.

 

[Vortimous]

Anyone read this article on ESPN? It breaks down each shootout this year and really puts it into prospective.... Read each one, its classic....

Their Own Personal Hell: Breaking Down the Devils? Shootout Woes «

 

[TheSgtDabbs]

That was hilarious Vort!

But in all seriousness, what do we all call the shootout? A glorified skills competition. The Devils are terrible in them. Translation? The team doesn't have the skill level of other teams in the league.

End.

 

[nj_cup]

Beyond epic. It's really amazing 3 goals all year in 11 shootouts. How is that possible? No legit a star talent that's how
