Post-Game Talk: 5-4 Devils over Ottawa: Gimmie Moore Money

[Emperoreddy]

Severson had a terrible 1st period, but he played very well in the 2nd and 3rd periods.

Santini was the one who really struggled tonight.

To be fair, the front 4 had to play a LOT, because Hynes only gave Butcher-Prout 12 minutes of ice time. That's really not good in terms of keeping guys fresh.

We can’t be icing Prout anymore. Mueller, warts and all, is the superior choice here.

If we win tomorrow, the hype train will leave the solar system.

I still don't know where to put Zajac and Boyle when they get back. I love the 4th line.

I'm not convinced we're going to see Boyle any time soon. I hope i'm wrong but those kind of chronic health conditions can really take their toll, it might be better for him to spend the entire year on LTIR and focus on getting well again.

Zajac returning will be a huge boon, especially on the PK. Personally I'd keep Gibbons & Coleman in the lineup until their performance justifies taking them out; Noesen & Hayes should be the healthy scratches once Travis returns.

Hall - Hischier - Stafford
Johansson - Zajac - Palmieri
Henrique - Zacha - Bratt
Wood - Coleman - Gibbons
Noesen, Hayes, Boyle (IR), McLeod (Juniors?)

I'm not sure it was you but weren't you the one who created GDT with Doge in it?

Don’t think I created it but I recall doing one or two Doge ones.

So I went out after the first period and streamed the radio broadcast for half the second. The last thing I heard was Ottawa's 3-2 goal.

Did Severson sit after that penalty? Because it sounded like an unnecessary, selfish penalty. The type I'd play I'd hope Hynes nips in the bud.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Prouts undisciplined penalties in his limited ice time is annoying. That is a deal breaker.

Even when he's not in the box he's not very good.

I said in the GDT that IMO, he's not long for the NHL world. He's a guy playing a 1997 defensive game in 2017's NHL.

 

[Japam]

This win was so exciting I bought tickets for tomorrow's game. Not sure if I'll drive in or take the hype train out of New Bruns!

 

[glenwo2]

Is it just me or does Bratt look a little like one of them if he wore glasses?

 

[AveryQuietMan]

We can’t be icing Prout anymore. Mueller, warts and all, is the superior choice here.

werent you the guy hating on people bringing up someones weight? and now you bring up warts? are they even warts? guess its ok cause hes a guy. come on maaaaaan

 

[glenwo2]

i thought you were the downer they told me about

I'm stunned, too.

Hacked account?

 

[Emperoreddy]

The only two teams ahead of us in the East is Toronto and Tampa. We have wins over both. Still are Toronto’s only lose.

Tampa looks like the class of the East too

[Cheddabombs]

lol, this guy

 

[Emperoreddy]

Fancy that.

I do. He has CML (a blood cancer), which is generally not that aggressive (relatively speaking) at the start. My guess is he plays this year and possibly next year too before calling it a career.

Better than playing a sub beer league level game like lovejoy.

 

[Rad Dude83]

I think I'm gonna go to tomorrows game. love this rat team

It's not like we've played all easy teams (no such thing really). We've beaten some very good ones.

ok, but when this year? feb? march?

 

[Blender]

lol, this guy

Seems like such a goofy guy.

 

[My3Sons]

Well, I'm totally serious. I'd rather chug something else.

Back in college I used to love watching hockey with some imported Molson beer. We’d drive to Ontario buy what we could and drive back to school.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Honestly I am fine with the on ice defensive mess ups for the most part.

This is a blue line that is really young, inexperienced, and needing at least one more talented Dman.

For all of the above that aren’t doing too bad a job.

We just need to really crack down on penalities. That isn’t acceptable and it has nearly cost us a few times.

 

[glenwo2]

According to Deb, the weird six-day break coming up is going to be "funky".

I'll believe it when I see it.

There ya go.

 

[Bleedred]

This is the way I'd love to play most nights. Perhaps some of the domination was score effects due to trailing by multiple goals, but I thought we looked great even before we were trailing.

Maybe Cory had something nagging, which would explain his drop in play over the past few games.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

second in goals scored... cash me ouside, how bow dat?
