Again so you didn't watch the game.

How many other goalies have started back to back nights this year? It's not 2005 anymore.

Devils lead the league in back to backs. It is what it is.


Just funny how the ranger who you say are bad and lucky, just find ways to win. And the devils who you say are super good and elite, find ways to lose lol

Rangers had a back to back, traveled to boston and started “terrible” Igor last night, but somehow won. Weird

The bruins were literally also on a back to back.

And Igor had 3 days of rest going into that game

Lmao weird you were literally just trashing Igor saying he sucks and pointing out his bad stats. I guess changes because he had 3 days off?

Devils are running out of excuses. Ducks are a bottom 5 team and those are the games that “playoff contenders” should be taking care of

Literally yesterday I posted my goalie rankings. You'll never guess where I had Igor.

And the Devils outplayed the Ducks. Again, Schmid started yesterday. Shouldn't have been out there but Vanacek called in sick. Gibson stood on his head.

Ran out of gas on a back to back.

I pointed out that Igor's stats are behind what he was at last year.

The devils have played 7 back to backs. The rags 2. We can't all have cushy schedules from Bettman

Literally everyone plays back to backs. Rangers played both Boston and LAK on the back end of a back to back regardless if they both played the night before. I’ll take a fairly healthy roster over “cushy schedule” any day of the week lol

But you’re just the king of excuses over there. If they make you feel better about the devils, then continue to believe in them

The devils lead the league in back to backs. That's simply the schedule they've been given

The devils haven't had a healthy roster:
Hughes, Nico, Meier, Haula, Hamilton, Miller, Nosek, have all missed meaningful time.

Getting to play Pheonix Copley vs Cam Talbot is a big gap.

Unfortunately we can't all have the refs throw the opposing teams best player out of the game like you got vs boston

The difference is the devils aren’t throwing hits like that. Trouba throws a dirtier hit than that (or a slash to the skull against that same bruins team) with no repercussions on a nightly basis

Vanacek called in sick, so Schmid had to play for the second night in a row. How many other goalies have started back to back nights this year?

Lmaoooo what does Pasta boarding Lindgren have to do with how the devils play and how aggressive Trouba plays? All I said is you’d want Pasta ejected from the game if he did that same exact hit on Nico or Hughes lol

They literally could have started Daws. And you’re acting like a rested Schmid would have changed anything. Terry sniped one right over his shoulder or Killorn was wide open backside because the defense is trash

2 more saves would have changed plenty. Youre playing a different game when you get stops early.

Same on the other side.

Devils dominated the first period (I know you hate xGoals but it was 2.02 to 0.1 and that’s despite multiple power plays for the ducks. Gibson stood on his head. Took the life out of the team that was tired from a back to back

Also I'm sick of hearing about the Trouba slash. It was accidental, he admitted he should've been way more careful, and took the fine. Then he had no issue answering the bell yesterday with Frederic. If Frederic no longer gives AF, NJD fans absolutely shouldn't give any

Gibson isn’t really all that good and he was playing under the weather. Only 1 save where I thought Gibson robbed a goal and that was on the Haula shot

FYI… Caps played a back to back tonight, traveled and won against Carolina. 0 excuses

You just didn't notice the others because he made the save look routine. Gibson was fantastic.

Lol right Darcy Kuemper who’s allowing 3 goals a game and below .900 save % just happens to be good because of rest. Good teams find a way to win, simple as that. Just like how Philly keeps winning and islanders keep winning

Goalies have good games and bad games. Thats hockey.

The devils lost on a back to back to go to 8-3 in their last 11.

Looked fantastic until they ran out of gas. Sometimes you tip your cap to the other goalie

None of this is the gotcha you think it is

The islanders have a losing record. The flyers have 1 more win than NJD but NJD has 1 game in hand.

And again, NJD has been heavily injured and leads the league in back to backs, which they’ve struggled in

Lol every team is dealing with or has dealt with injuries this season and every team plays back to backs. The islanders have 3 of their starting defensemen hurt. Rangers lost fox, igor, chytil and Kakko

Like when do the excuses end? Lol

The devils lead the league in back to backs. Nobody else has played as many as NJD has.

The devils injuries were the clear difference in their record. Like I’ve said to you many times the devils are 11-5-1 with Nico in the lineup.
