GDT: Avoid the Hangover: Golden Knights @ Your New Jersey Devils, 5 PM, MSG+

[Better Call Sal]

There hasn't been a lot to like about the results of these past 2 games

And we need to start adding some padding to that playoff cushion

Of course, we're all sick and tired of hearing about Vegas.

And what better way to shut 'em up than with a big matinee win from our own success stories?

I feel a victory in the air tonight!

I'm going to wear my Army Black Knights hat as a subtle trolling.

 

[Bleedred]

I’ll be your Doug!

 

[Blender]

LGD!

We really, really, need a win to snap out of this.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Personally, I like this start time. That said, we always suck on early starts. Also, we should probably get smoked by Vegas, but I thought that about Pitt and that turned out OK, so who knows.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Let the 200 Jon Merrill posts tonight commence.

 

[NJDevils17]

Only fitting I’m super f***ing hungover

 

[The 29th Pick]

we need to score some dang goals against this team if we expect a W

 

[Cheddabombs]

I would enjoy a win very much

 

[Ripshot 43]

Love the GDT meme but didn’t get the connection till a few hours later now . I have Dad brain.

 

[Bologna 1]

Need two points here. Gotta find a way.

If we somehow win, the next GDT should be the same theme : HANGOVER.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Mirco in?

 

[tr83]

I would never want to be punched by Mike Tyson

 

[JrFischer54]

This has to be a team record for the longest time in a season before facing a team. It’s march!

 

[Ripshot 43]

This will be an interesting one. We seem to play up to the top teams and Vegas plays hard from top to bottom. Must be a full effort from all 4 lines to expect points out of this one.

its kinda weird that we're measuring our team against a first year expansion team!
I dont ever remember an expansion team doing this well this late into a season

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Don't lose?

Never has... they typically take a many years of drafting right and FA to become respectable. They have a real chance of winning the Cup in year 1.

whats also weird is we're the team with the most recent number 1 pick, and its usually the expansion team that has him ! But yeah, they could go all the way in their first season

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Lets go Devils! Could use a win tonight against a top team (thats weird to say).

Show Vegas what they truly are

 

[The 29th Pick]

what are the Vegas odds Jersey beats Vegas in Jersey !

 

[Its a Trap]

Points please.

 

[Emperoreddy]

No reason they can’t win this one if they come out ready to play.
