Nah, you got to call it out for what it. Sugar coating it only results in premature two year extensions for ‘80s level backup goaltending.

By “at times” do you mean most of the time or nearly all of the time?

That put up us back atop the Metro and first in the Eastern conference again. So instead of reserving my cheering solely for a sink hole to open-up and swallow both teams whole, I’ll make an exception and give a half-hearted single fist pump before I resume wishing for the sink hole. #NJDevils

Yup. It’s why Fitz’s rush to sign him to that extension was absolutely infuriating & completely insane. I hope it’s because he’s not 100% healthy rather than him falling off with age. But if he’s not 100% healthy let’s put him on IR until he is because .870 goaltending isn’t good enough. #NJDevils

Given the result across so many goalies I’m baffled he’s still the goalie coach too. I’ve also got issues with the entire #NJDevils goaltending department. If you think about it we’ve failed to develop a single top half of the league starting goalie since Brodeur.

Absolutely. Having that lunch pail element to the offense helps so much. It makes it much harder to shut you down when the rush attacks and pretty passing plays aren’t going in. Plus it’s the type of scoring you need if you want to go anywhere in the playoffs. #NJDevils

Sigh. First shot. That absolutely took all the energy out of the building. #NJDevils

You are correct about Key lime pie and Ian is unequivocally in the wrong. What makes Key lime pie so good is that it’s pretty much a citrus curd on top of crushed cookies. Both citrus curd and cookies on their own are better desserts than pie. Then when you combine the two it’s an absolute TKO.

That said I think there’s positives to build on. The biggest is how we took no shit in the third. We should come away from tonight charged, ready to run through walls for each other and crack skulls while doing it. A shot of focused aggressiveness will go a long way curing our woes. #NJDevils

Absolutely. We stoped passing & skating. We let them take the game to us like we were too afraid that controlling play and the game flow would lead to mistakes, breakdowns & pucks in our net. When all your focus is on trying not lose there’s not much left in the tank to do the work necessary to win.

Tonight we take the two points and thank the hockey gods the losing streak was halted.

Tomorrow we get back to work dissecting tape of the last two periods so we don’t do that again and continue making it so hard on ourselves.
