We had defensive mistakes in the Seattle game that didn't come back to bite us. More mistakes in this game. We're still a rush team. Meier and Cotter are good skaters but they're a little too much in love with their speed. Jack needs to recognize when to dump and chase. Some teams he can skate through. Some aren't going to let it happen.
@bted A painful one to watch. Keefe reuniting the Cotter/Haula/Noesen line today. I think the line combos we see tomorrow need to stick around awhile. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Yeah. I know the current 4th line has been doing pretty good, but the sheriff should be deployed every now and then to shake things up so we don't fall asleep like we did tonight. I don't know much about the Leafs' game, but MacD needs to be in on Tuesday after this performance.
The immortal Scott Wedgwood puts up a shut out. Guess we were a little overly optimistic about being a cup contender just yet. Your take was spot on about shutting us down, everyone in the league knows it, not everyone can defend that way. Still need to make more moves, relatively quickly or this will be a nice season with another 1st or 2nd round playoff elimination.
@walterramirez4443 Easier said than done though. I still believe this team is capable of winning it all. Fitz needs to make a couple tweaks. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
We've been Vanecek'd, we've been Pescemistic... I think we can officially add Blackwooded or Wedgewooded as our next vocabulary word in the Devils dictionary.
thought the same thing watching the game, that you don't want this to be a formula to beat this club. Go up early and play shut down hockey. Avs looked heavier, edgier, more dog. For me the loss was secured when Dougie coughed up the puck to Mittelstadt on a zone entry during a line change resulting to a wide open off the bench Lehkonen buries it to make it 3-0. Man that was brutal just get the puck in deep or safely enter the zone 😮💨
@djentleman7 So far is definitely seems like a proven winning formula. The 3rd goal was the dagger. I was still somewhat delusionally optimistic when it was 2-0, but after goal #3 it was clear we were toast. Gotta rebound BIG tomorrow against the Leafs. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
The game was difficult to watch. Hopefully the boys can turn it around from these slow starts. It’s only December and there’s plenty of time to right the ship. Like you said, can’t win every game, let’s take it one game at a time.
They were all asleep, none of them turned up... just "one of those games" 🤷♀ the shutout losses are starting to become a little worrisome, I must admit. I'd prefer to get beaten 4-2 than 4-0. Still Maple Leafs next... the boys need to win this one for Keefe. Let's Go Devils 😈🏒
Would like to see Fitz go after a Sturm/Bjugstad type player sooner rather than later. No excuse for the loss, want to see Fitz build on what the boys are doing
I was there and after those disallowed goals in the 1st period really killed our morale both team and fans. 2nd period we did absolutely nothing. Idk about you guys but Allen at net doesn’t sit well with me everytime. We play so bad today, it was one of their worst games I’ve seen them play in quite some time.
@ericjr9884 Pretty deflating to have that happen. The 2nd period was a snoozefest through and through. Allen has played decent in most games this year. The offense was non existent last night. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@robertlamkin6464 Agreed, you must continue to play on after situations like this. I think the Avs executed their gameplan beautifully, and it worked to shut the Devils down.
They also didnt give the devils an inch of ice to skate with… i wish the devils played a more physical came it seems like there never the ones to iniate the physical play
@JSnow-rv8ls In these types of games they definitely need to ratchet up the physicality intensity and start smashing. 19 hits last night isn't nearly enough. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Well Ace, it sucks they lost but we should of seen this coming the second they announced Wedgewood was in net for them considering he had our number and i believe is 4-0-0 against us. the only thing we can do is forget about this game and move onto the next which is Tuesday against General Keefe's former club and hopefully we can beat them like they did us during our home opener. LGD!!!!
@johnfay366 It is wild how good he has been against us. They better respond bigtime tomorrow. It is another big one. Get some revenge for spoiling our Opening Night. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
The head to head stats before the game had the Devils leading in every category. The game played out totally opposite. Devils decided to play a one dimensional offense, instead of getting physical to open up the game. “Heavier, Edgier, More Violent” is on holiday break it seems. LGD
@TravelinDevil76 So sad. You got to experience the high of a win, and the ultimate lowwww of the worst kind of loss. They better wakeup for tomorrow. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevils MacDermid will be back in for the next couple games. The boys need their power up and he obviously brings it for them. Some talk crap about him, but it’s a different team when he is playing. Even for 5 minutes a game. As for my time up in NJ and going to the two games. It was a blast and I always take the good with the bad in everything. Devils won’t win them all and I’ve seen worst loses in my time as a fan. Glad I got to meet you and Amagi. Definitely a top hockey night experience for me :) Next game is in Toronto on 1/16.

I think we need a solid 4 th line I know the injury to that line isn't good but something needs to be done. It seems more times than not the 3rd and 4th lines are never the same no chemistry building I don't like cotter on the 4th line he needs to play the more ice time for him the better he plays . I know he took a couple of bad penalties but let it go play this man. Thanks as always. And also I didn't work Sunday so it seems like a pattern no work = loss work = win LGD
Colorado yet again upgraded their goalie position by trading for Blackwood. The two goalies that started the season are now gone. This is what a true GM does. Looking for ways to make the team better on the fly. Fitzgerald in the meantime just wishes and hopes... Again
Once again the team shows up half asleep and half a step behind at home. Not being able to defend your own barn is starting to really get old now. Being shut out at home is just unacceptable and its starting to become a trend. Idk what the issue is with home games but the guys need to figure it out
@randomnameisrequiredapparently Sad, but true. Bad performances at home and being shutout are definitely trends. It is really perplexing. Why are we so much better on the road?!? I can't recall another team being this different home vs. road. They gotta figure it out for tomorrow. Keefe reuniting some old line combinations. Hopefully something sparks this team to snap out of this. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@@runninwiththedevilsYes getting shutout does suck and unfortunately it’s happening to often lately. Also that’s great that they both got a shutout so far this year and hopefully they get more. LETS GO DEVILS!!
Are there plans A&B when teams employ those defensive schemes? Does the lack of intensity come down to the team leadership? Jack and Nico are who they are: great skilled guys, but seemingly unflappable in their emotions - whether the going is good or bad.

Hey Ace, I’m sure you saw the new. The Avalanche have traded for Mackenzie Blackwood. Looking like we will never score a goal against this team ever again lol obv jk but it feels like the most Devils thing that can happen.
Its scary the devils again can play way to perimeter and get knocked off there game unfortunately they dont have a bottom 6 that is gonna b more heavy and more of a forechecking group u need to get production outta ur bottom 6 and its just not there rn..

No energy right off the get go. Team needs to figure it out at home. They are not a good team at the Rock. You live and learn. Get back to it and lets figure it out.

What a lame game. Looked like the team was playing in quicksand. Colorado plays the most boring style of hockey when they're ahead. Like going 85 to 45 in 10 seconds on a highway. Confident they can bounce back for the next 3 games!
I blame Fitzgerald. The team has no forward depth, and it's all his fault. He's done a lousy job of bolstering the position in the draft and the free agents he's brought in have contributed little besides Noesen. Palat and Haula are awful. Cotter has disappeared. The blueline has been of little help when it comes to scoring, and again, point the finger at Fitzgerald. He drafted Nemecs when he should have taken Cooley, and this year he drafts a Russian giant defenseman with little offensive upside when he should have taken Zeev Buium. Also, it sure would be nice to have Sharangovich on the team, wouldn't it? Fitz stinks as a GM, pure and simple.
Once we got down 2-0 Colorado put on a textbook clinic on how to play and protect a lead. Hope they at least learned something from last night
Devils need to get way more physical in order to battle back in these types of games.
@johnmick9457 I was expecting a huge hit or a fight or SOMETHING. We laid down and died. It was sad. Must be better tomorrow night. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@TravelinDevil76 Agreed. They gotta get back to physically punishing hockey. 19 hits last night ain't it. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
