Fitting GDT. At least no Grabner in this game to torture us with the usual nightly breakaway.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Oh goodness, another one so soon?

 

[StnTwnDevil]

I'd like to rip this entire season off like a bandaid. Its been torture. Its not like this team just loses, though they do do some of that as well. There's been a bunch of games that they make you think they're pretty good, only to fart up the end result with impressive precision. Please make it stop!!!!!!

 

[captainscott]

elias -9 really jumps out at you.. pretty indicative of his play this season..

the games they don't show up i just say trade the whole team... then there are games like you point out that they look pretty good for 2 periods but find a way to lose. who knows did gomez sign?

I was just about to say that

Per TG

Henrique and Zajac are not with Devils today Lou Lamoriello said injuries are not serious and both could be back start of week.



Pete gets an excuse today.

I don't know what the situation is with Henrique and Zajac, but I'd think now would be a good time for a Gomez signing.

 

[NJDevs26]

Assuming they really are both back this week then scratch the Gomez signing.

The coliseum is a house of horrors. I can't tell you how many blowouts I've sat through in that building.

 

[Combat Koala]

Key words for post-game presser: tough building, tough team, not getting rewarded for our play, injuries to core players, not a pattern, a couple of dumb penalties

Prove me wrong. If we take a +2 goal lead I'll stop watching. Or who am I kidding, I'll still keep watching just to be disappointed at the end.

e:

Zubrus-Josefson-Jagr
Cammalleri-Elias-Havlat
Ruutu-Gionta-Ryder
Bernier-Brunner-Tootoo

Holy ****. That looks abysmal. How does he come up with lines like this I am mentally prepared for a beatdown.

that fourth line won't see the light of day

he shouldn't if fact he will probably discover that josefson belongs in top 6 minutes and get rewarded in spite of himself..

its not as though he has anything to work with there...

 

[tr83]

2 3rd lines and 2 AHL lines

What could go wrong?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Ooooh, child, things are going to get easier. Ooooh, child, things will get brighter…..

 

[Devs4L]

I would think Zubrus will be used at center tonight.

 

[njdevilsftw]

How is harrold -3 already? Embarrassing that he was Petes "top" called up.

 

[JK3]

Now's the time time move JJ and Ruutu up in the lineup and give them some more minutes. This will not happen of course with this dolt.

Updated lines with best guesses.

 

[wellonegm05*]

hope we get crushed tonight. Hope Harrold is a -5. Hope Zubrus, Gionta, and the rest of team pete arent far behind. Hopefully Pete gets fired afterwards

Sad, this is a expansion teams line up. Coached by Pete

 

[wellonegm05*]

Bc he s always out of position. That goal he scored, which btw is Deboers shining moment from last game, was actually the result of him being damn near cherry picking on a Detroit break out.
