GDT: New Jersey Devils vs. Florida Panthers - 7:30 PM (Game 6)

[Vinnie]

What ever. I hope they let things go tonight. I don't want a penalty game for obvious reasons

They'll let it go for about a period then start to call everything.

[SLNP]

do we have a shot yet? christ

NBC says we have 5. i haven't seen a single one though.

[JimEIV]

The story of Kovalchuk in New Jersey : "at least he was trying "

[Devilsfanatic]

:laugh: they look like a team that's fighting for their playoff lives.

[jkrdevil]

Im not going to complain about no call unless we are the only ones not getting the no calls. Our PP sucks and thier's is good. No penalties being called favor us.

[jkrdevil]

It looks like a regular season game in October

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

I mean, I'm not upset with the start but we need to get shots through

[devilzrule27]

That wasn't boarding because......?

It's like the 3rd time Gudbranson has gotten away with similar hits this series. One from each officiating crew we've had. Oh well, our PP unit would **** up the ensuing PP anyway.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

I thought Elias was dead after that hit

[Devilsfanatic]

It's like the 3rd time Gudbranson has gotten away with similar hits this series. One from each officiating crew we've had. Oh well, our PP unit would **** up the ensuing PP anyway.

Shows what the team is made of. Not one person has made him answer for it.

[SLNP]

split up the kovy-parise line. put kovy with henrique. i don't know. something to get the offense going because they look like a limp ****.

[SLNP]

way to not finish captain.

[JimEIV]

Parise shouldn't have take the time to face the net and should've just back handed a shot with his back to the net....he gave Clemner time to set.

[devilzrule27]

way to not finish captain.

It's his patented move.

[Vinnie]

This has seriously been such an awful series to watch.

[Devilsfanatic]

Kovalchuk has to be hurt. he's just not skating very well.

[JimEIV]

Henrique looks good tonight.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

well, we are in their end mostly

but we cant get a fucking shot through

[SLNP]

Henrique looks good tonight.

if by 'looks good' you mean 'actually goes to the net' then yes. but i agree.

[Devilsfanatic]

They've got five guys collapsing, it's hard to do.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

yea, the Panthers are playing the Rangers collapse 5 D tonight

[devilzrule27]

Henrique looks good tonight.

He looks not invisible, which I guess is an improvement.

[Devilsfanatic]

2 hours away from elimination!

Happy elimination day!

[devilzrule27]

2 hours away from elimination!

Happy elimination day!

I'll eliminate all over your floors.

[Devilsfanatic]

Remember when a late whack set off a riot? No one cares here.

[SLNP]

I'll eliminate all over your floors.

[Devilsfanatic]

And of course, the second period of doom is on its way. NJ is being outscored 7-1 in the middle stanza.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

uh oh

Patty is pissed

[SLNP]

uh oh

Patty is pissed

at least someone is.

[Devilsfanatic]

lol, 4th line.

Brutalsen.

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Bernier!

[jkrdevil]

Woot. Weak goal! Bernier!

[SLNP]

Bernier!

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

STEVEY BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

[Vinnie]

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/files/2011/04/poker-face-300x266.jpg

I hope we sign Bernier before we talk to Zach.

[JimEIV]

4th line!!! Give them 100 million!

[devilzrule27]

man my stream is sooooo far behind.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

if Bernier had that screened goal stand he'd be our leading goal scorer lol

[SLNP]

4th line > 1st line. split up kovy/parise.

[Dr. Doom]

just keep playing...

[doc e]

Weekend at bernie's?!

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

lol at sturm diving all over the place

[devilzrule27]

just keep playing...

No! It's time to coast and try to hang on for dear life. Thats our gameplan.

[Devilsfanatic]

The 4th line is such a collection of weirdos.

Gionta an undrafted FA
Bernier a journeyman PTO signee
Carter a waiver pick up.

[Devilsfanatic]

The Panthers have the Devils right where they want them.

[Clarkson Falls Down]

if Bernier had that screened goal stand he'd be our leading goal scorer lol

Deserves a contract for next year.

The 4th line has been our best line.

[vonbonds]

Glad we have the lead. It looks like a regular season game compared to the rest..lol.

[JimEIV]

Not a bad period but if this is the devils in desperation mode, its not good.

[Vinnie]

The Panthers have the Devils right where they want them.

Nah we need a couple more goals before the inevitable collapse.

[vonbonds]

Not a bad period but if this is the devils in desperation mode, its not good.

Yup, you said it better than me.

[Devilsfanatic]

John Madden, I hate you. I feel he's going to score tonight.

[JimEIV]

Glad we have the lead. It looks like a regular season game compared to the rest..lol.

I agree wholeheartedly.

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Give Henrique a shot on the top line. He doesn't work well with Clarkson and he can give a jolt to the 9 and 17.

[Devilsfanatic]

Someone has to make Gudbranson pay.

[Getzo5]

Kovalchuk has NO push, NO stride. All he`s trying to do is to skate like Jeff fucking Carter jumping all over the place and then just coasting (at best). Reminds me of injured Gaborik when he was playing hurt on WCH. It`s ridiculous, I`d rather sit him. He`s not helping them and we need that line to produce if we want to win.

Thank Lord for that softie. lol

Also, Volchenkov might have been banged up, but he`s not injured nor concussed, just out of shape. He`s getting better with every game. I like that.

[vonbonds]

Give Henrique a shot on the top line. He doesn't work well with Clarkson and he can give a jolt to the 9 and 17.

Yeah, I want Henrique back with the big boys. Zajac is still playing back into form which is obvious.

[onefatsurfer]

They need to not take any penalties. I like their play thus far. The passing and faceoffs could be better though.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

I Didnt think we played badly

Florida had like 4 shots and we were in their end most of the time

need to get more shots through though

[JimEIV]

Kovalchuk has NO push, NO stride. All he`s trying to do is to skate like Jeff fucking Carter jumping all over the place and then just coasting (at best). Reminds me of injured Gaborik when he was playing hurt on WCH. It`s ridiculous, I`d rather sit him. He`s not helping them and we need that line to produce if we want to win.

Kovalchuk is injured mentally.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

yea Volch was playoff Volch in that period

much better

[Getzo5]

Kovalchuk is injured mentally.Funny you say that.

[Devilsfanatic]

Kovalchuk is injured mentally.

Just like Zach Pay Raise Day.

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Yeah, I want Henrique back with the big boys. Zajac is still playing back into form which is obvious.

Zajac is fine, but Henrique is a better fit between them.

[JimEIV]

Just like Zach Pay Raise Day.

You are so clever I could kiss you.

[vonbonds]

Just like Zach Pay Raise Day.

No kidding. He isn't doing himself any favors not stepping up and taking over. He looks like very other very good player, just not special anymore. He needs Zajac as much as Zajac needs him. Now to get them both healthy at the same time...if ever again.

[devilzrule27]

Give Henrique a shot on the top line. He doesn't work well with Clarkson and he can give a jolt to the 9 and 17.

He'll get eaten alive by Weiss at the face off dot. Thats probably the only reason he's not up there yet. Also because Deboer is slow to make changes.

[vonbonds]

Zajac is fine, but Henrique is a better fit between them.

You think? He still looks stiff to me, not as fluid as he used to be. I could be wrong though.

[Devilsfanatic]

You are so clever I could kiss you.

Your sarcasm is appreciated.

[Getzo5]

Mine`s not eh? :sarcasm:

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

yea, Henrique cant win a faceoff

[SLNP]

i still say dropping kovy to the 3rd line and bringing up sykora/clarkson to the 1st is a better idea. roll with 3 big threats instead of 1 top heavy line.

[JimEIV]

4 more please!

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Poni's gotta shoot that quicker, aim for the pads, and hope for a rebound. 2 guys crashing the net there.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

I want Sykora nowhere near the 1st line

[Devilsfanatic]

Gudbranson was like 10 miles offside that play.

[Devilsfanatic]

Good, a momentum killer here.

[Vinnie]

Jesus that looked rough.

[Getzo5]

Parise-Zajac-Henrique
Kovalchuk-Elias-Sykora
Poni-Zubrus-Clarkson
4th

Is it really that hard?

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

LOL sweet late call

but he did catch him

[SLNP]

I want Sykora nowhere near the 1st line

more of a placeholder, first name that popped into my head.

[Lord Ned Stark]

i fuckin love u harrold.. u bernier/stephen gionta are the only reason we havent gotten swept

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

Henrique on the first PP unit

[SLNP]

oh look a PP. watch as we do nothing with it.

[Lord Ned Stark]

bury that zajaC!

[jkrdevil]

Too slow

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

I despise that PP unit that was just out there lol

[Devilsfanatic]

He looked OK there!!!!!!! What a genius play.

[jkrdevil]

Kovy sneaking down!

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

**** YESSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssss

[vonbonds]

Kovy!

[SLNP]

oh my goodness.

[Lord Ned Stark]

YES!! HAHA kovi

[Vinnie]

Mad Dog lost his man.

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Didn't look like he was injured mentally on that play.

[JimEIV]

But, but he has no push...his groin is injured.

[Getzo5]

That was easy. Thank you Panthers.

[SLNP]

mental lapse from FLA there. kovy got lost in coverage.

[devilzrule27]

How does no one Kovy skating in all alone there. Wow that was awful D.

[Devilsfanatic]

Oh good God. That was not in, but close.

[vonbonds]

Clemmer looks like a mess.

[Vinnie]

lol Clemmer.

[Getzo5]

Didn't look like he was injured mentally on that play. :sarcasm:


But, but he has no push...his groin is injured. Good try.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

Ill say it again- Clemmer has no idea where his rebounds are going

throw everything at him

[Devilsfanatic]

Clarkson should have dove to get that one.

[Dr. Doom]

and zajac hurt...

[Vinnie]

Zajac hurt **** our lives.

[Lord Ned Stark]

jesus fucking christ zajac hurt?

[Devilsfanatic]

****, Zajac hurt. Someone get him some incredible healing medicine.

[SLNP]

oh no.

[jkrdevil]

****. He limped too

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

oh christ

Zajac hurt.

[Tao Jones]

Sykora ties Craig MacTavish, Claude Provost, Tom Lysiak, Bob Carpenter, and Randy Gregg for career playoff assists and ties Pavel Bure, Martin Straka, Steve Payne, Guy LaPointe, and Murray Craven for career playoff points.

[devilzrule27]

Well Henrique will be on the first line now... Also we will never win another faceoff.

[Devilsfanatic]

What exactly happened there?

[jkrdevil]

Well Henrique will be on the first line now... Also we will never win another faceoff.

Not a big Clarkson in the circle fan? :sarcasm:

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

TG said Zajac is back

thank jesus

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Not good. Not good at all.

nevermind.

[SLNP]

What exactly happened there?

aggrivated his achillies? no idea, i didn't see.

hopefully it's not serious.

[vonbonds]

I missed it...I didn't see Zajac get hurt.

[JimEIV]

Bad...no good.

[jkrdevil]

Back on the bench

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

hes walking on it

he should be fine

[Devilsfanatic]

Here it comes.

[JimEIV]

The refs missed a hook behind the net on Florida.

[devilzrule27]

Not a big Clarkson in the circle fan? :sarcasm:

Haha he has a better winning percentage then Henrique...

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

oh jesus fucking christ

[vonbonds]

Marty never saw it.

[SLNP]

fucking versteeg.

[jkrdevil]

Everyone just looking at the puck. 3 guys in the slot and no one picked himup

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Come on Sal.

[vonbonds]

I take it back, he saw it..go past him. Oh well.

[devilzrule27]

Ah thats more like it...

[JimEIV]

Guess what defenseman was at the point of attack and dis his best pylon imitation?

[Dr. Doom]

please don't **** this up

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

it hit like 4 skates lol

ugh

[Devilsfanatic]

lol. Can they possibly **** it up again?

Oh good, they're wrestling.

[jkrdevil]

Clarky keep your cool

[Vinnie]

That was some nice swarmin'.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

like, what the **** is Weiss doing there?

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Never understand why a slow player would try to take the body on a much faster player. Use your stick.

[Big#D]

what no 3-0 score to be given up?

[jkrdevil]

Is it me or is the clock moving slower than usual

[devilzrule27]

Never understand why a slow player would try to take the body on a much faster player. Use your stick.

Especially when they are basically skating parallel to each other. It 's a recipe for disaster.

[Big#D]

Is it me or is the clock moving slower than usual

the time keeper is trapping.

[vonbonds]

Is it me or is the clock moving slower than usual

6 games in and no hate. That is what is going on.

[JimEIV]

Where is the snarl???

[JimEIV]

No call?

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

how many penalties just occurred on Zubrus in that 30 second span lol

[SLNP]

Where is the snarl???

on this team?

[Devilsfanatic]

Where is the snarl???

Left with Whitey.

[vonbonds]

Dear god, Volch can barely skate backwards at this point.

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Did Pete really put Sal and Volch together 5 on 5 to play against the Versteeg line? Ugh.

That is a terrible coaching move.

[JimEIV]

How come not a single devil is trying to get Versteeg off his game?

[vonbonds]

How come not a single devil is trying to get Versteeg off his game?

Gotta catch him to get him...har har har.

[JimEIV]

Why haven't I seen one glove in Versteeg's face?

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Just a one shift thing. Thank god.

[devilzrule27]

Why haven't I seen one glove in Versteeg's face?

Knowing our players they would probably prefer to give him a slap on the fanny.

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Chico, who fucking cares...

[Dr. Doom]

Why haven't I seen one glove in Versteeg's face?
because they are all schoolboys

[Lord Ned Stark]

we need to fucking bury one right here

[Dr. Doom]

good job there zach

[Devilsfanatic]

HAHAHAHA.

Yep.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

are you serious


is this a joke

[Vinnie]

CALL THE FUCKING PENALTY CHRIST! And has Marty moved yet?

[SLNP]

are you kidding me

[Dr. Doom]

kill me

[jkrdevil]

God damnit. We've lost

[JimEIV]

No call leads to a goal.

[Lord Ned Stark]

and there it is

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Inexcusable. And I haven't seen Fayne in awhile.

[Vinnie]

I'm done. See you guys later when we can mourn our pathetic team.

[vonbonds]

I am ashamed for both teams and their fan bases. This game has no energy. **** the Devils, **** the Panthers and **** Fucking ****!

[Lord Ned Stark]

still no time out from deboer

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

that wasnt a penalty

kovy dove

[SLNP]

fans need to start booing this team. it's inexcusable.

[Getzo5]

It`s over Johny, it`s over.

[JimEIV]

Why isn't the crowd giving it to the refs?

This whole place is out of order!

[Lord Ned Stark]

stephen gionta is a fuckin animal on the forecheck.. hes making our best players look bad

[devilzrule27]

still no time out from deboer

He's saving it for the end of the game when we pull marty. He needs to set up that faceoff we will lose.

[devilzrule27]

Why isn't the crowd giving it to the refs?

This whole place is out of order!

They care as little as the players?

[Lord Ned Stark]

here comes the third one

[vonbonds]

Clemmer has no confidence...just fucking shoot none stop!

[devilzrule27]

Man the Panthers are gonna be in for a rude awakening from whoever they play next.

[Getzo5]

that wasnt a penalty

kovy doveHe didn`t. He has no balance either. Was knocked down twice by a smaller player in the 1st and 2nd period. But watch Jim say something smart shortly. I`m done with this.

[Devilsfanatic]

A new fun way to fail spectacularly! This is good stuff.

[jkrdevil]

Cmon Kovy you try to go 1-on4 normally and then 1-on-1 you pull up?

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

gotta bury that patty...

[Lord Ned Stark]

suck it the **** up and answer for once jesus christ! come on!

[JimEIV]

Awesome shift.

[Devilsfanatic]

Upshall just threw five punches, watch him not get anything.

[jkrdevil]

Upshall taking a penalty

[Dr. Doom]

another no call like always. and now you an just punch someone in the back of the head...

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

if we dont get a PP out of this...................................

[Clarkson Falls Down]

gotta bury that patty...

Would be nice for him to get his damn stick on the ice.

And would be nice for him to get one. Lets be fair he hasn't been great...

[Lord Ned Stark]

here we go lets cash in again come on

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

if we get a PP, work that same triangle BS and have Kovy sneak in again

[Lord Ned Stark]

draw another get them to go on 5 on 3.. profit

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

if Henrique got anything on that shot he had half the net....

[JimEIV]

If we get through this the 4th line will not get nearly enough credit.

[Devilsfanatic]

Have to make him pay for that.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

holy **** zachhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Dr. Doom]

how does zach not score...

[vonbonds]

Did Parise shoot that over the net?

[Getzo5]

http://i.imgur.com/Y1Iy1.jpg

[SLNP]

captain clutch coming through again

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

hey look another faceoff loss

[Dr. Doom]

how does zach not score...
the amount of times i've said this this season is ridiculous

[vonbonds]

Boo motherfucking boo!!!

[jkrdevil]

And the period ending basically kills the pp. i hate that

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Need a big period from Marty in the 3rd.

[Devilsfanatic]

Well, in about one hour they'll be out of the playoffs. If they score a goal to win, I'll be impressed.

[JimEIV]

how does zach not score...

He needs 100 million dollars to score there.

[Big#D]

that wasnt a penalty

kovy dove

he was tired. he just wanted a quick nap.

[SLNP]

henrique: cliche cliche blah blah cliche blah blah

shut up.

[vonbonds]

Blow this team up and start over. They are a disgrace.

[Devilsfanatic]

29-10......the Panthers shouldn't have two goals. Marty has been ****.

[JimEIV]

Oh I'm sorry...a hundred million and a mock press conference.

[Tao Jones]

Gotta go out for the gf's birthday dinner and she's recording Glee. She's letting me record the 4 AM re-broadcast of the game. I'll probably get up at 5 and watch it.

LGD!

[JimEIV]

Blow this team up and start over. They are a disgrace.

How do you blow it up when you have 100 million in one player? Build around the weakest link?

[SLNP]

how many goals has parise had on his stick and none of them have gone in? it's sickening.

[Devilsfanatic]

At least he's scored a goal tonight. No idea where that guy named Parise is. As usual.

[JimEIV]

Trade Kovalchuk for Luongo....lol

[Clarkson Falls Down]

Blame the guy who has a goal tonight, not the captain who still can't finish or the goaltender who's let in 2 goals on 10 shots. Okay.

[Devilsfanatic]

I'd do it.

[onefatsurfer]

Kovy is hurt. He has to be.

[JimEIV]

At least he's scored a goal tonight. No idea where that guy named Parise is. As usual.

Digging everypuck out of the corners for the floater.

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

I think Kovy has been darn good this game, and he has a fucking goal

stereotypes die hard I guess

[devilzrule27]

Kovy is hurt. He has to be.

He's falling all over the place.

[vonbonds]

How do you blow it up when you have 100 million in one player? Build around the weakest link?

At his age and nice cap hit, he is tradable. **** Volchenkov, I have never liked him. Trade his sloppy ***, sign Harrold to a 1 year deal and get Urbom and maybe Gelinas in there. Find a legit top center with Parise's money then blah blah blah. All a pipe dream.

[devilzrule27]

I think Kovy has been darn good this game, and he has a fucking goal

stereotypes die hard I guess

It's Jim...

[Devilsfanatic]

45 minutes away from the handshake line. Maybe longer with a possible OT.

[SLNP]

marty looks drunk on that 2nd goal.

[JimEIV]

Parise isn't a minus....the dive and lay there off Kovalchuk's stick led to a goal

[SLNP]

Parise isn't a minus....the dive and lay there off Kovalchuk's stick led to a goal

keep fuckin' that chicken. it's admirable.

[Big#D]

put hedberg in for the shootout. kovalchuk parise elias. boom. done. move on.

[jkrdevil]

It wasn't a dive. He had two guys going to the net.

[vonbonds]

Parise isn't a minus....the dive and lay there off Kovalchuk's stick led to a goal

He was to blame for that odd man rush. He has something wrong with him though. Knowing that he needs to play a simpler game due to his lack of explosiveness.

[Devilsfanatic]

Clarkson should have dove for that Clemmensen bobble. That's the difference in the game. Why he didn't go flying to knock it in, I have no idea. Even if they waive it off, it shows effort.

[onefatsurfer]

Parise isn't a minus....the dive and lay there off Kovalchuk's stick led to a goal

Captain Zach was down on the ice as well...

[SLNP]

and where the **** has clarkson been, like seriously he's invisible.

[vonbonds]

and where the **** has clarkson been, like seriously he's invisible.

I love Clarkson but you are right.

[devilzrule27]

keep fuckin' that chicken. it's admirable.

hahaha

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

Clarkson's season was an aberration

he won't come close to 30 goals again

[devilzrule27]

and where the **** has clarkson been, like seriously he's invisible.

Quicker to list the guys who have shown up then all the ones who haven't.

[Devilsfanatic]

Yeah, it's not like he sniped, he just had pucks bounce off him, BY GOING TO THE NET. So why not try that some more?

[SLNP]

we're sitting here blaming the top guys but our secondary scoring has been TERRIBLE. when was the last time you saw Elias, Sykora, Poni, Clarkson, or Zubrus have a decent chance at potting one?

the 1st and 4th line have been the only ones with chances.

[Devilsfanatic]

Well, here comes. I already have tears, it's a sign.

[devilzrule27]

Clarkson's season was an aberration

he won't come close to 30 goals again

Meh he may do it once or twice more at some point. I think he's still a good 20+ goal guy. Also taking him off the top PP unit was a dumb idea.

[SLNP]

i'm still up for splitting the first line. let our top guys be threats all around.

[JimEIV]

Captain Zach was down on the ice as well...

No he wasn't Kovalchuk is -1 Parise is not.
