Devils 2017-18 team discussion (player news and notes) - season begins!

I tried to block Auvitu out of my memory.

 

[The Wumpus]

4 rookies on the opening night roster is the most I recall since Madden, Rafalski, White and Gomez in 1999-2000. Think Hischier, Bratt, Butcher and Santini can match those guys?

Santini's not a rookie by league standards, has over 26 games.

I kind of pooped the bed on that post, didn't I?

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Holy shit, is Lovejoy actually going to be a healthy scratch today???

Nah...just excitement because these are good players.. no harm

Indeed...guess the GDT will have a gif party now lol

Nevermind. Didn't see the tweet.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Wow, I don’t think we ever would have seen the day. Those pairings are glorious

 

[JimEIV]

I like the pairings a lot...but Im a little neverous about having 3 rookies in the lineup and one rookie pair. That could be a rocky road...if the forwards give proper support it shouldn't be to much to worry about.

 

[SeidoN]

no lovejoy

 

[Comparison Ford]

I'm very intrigued to see what Gibbons brings because I did not notice him at all this preseason.

Mueller may be inexperienced but he is not a rookie.

So with 2 RW's hurt do we think McLeod gets a go as a winger?

Isn't he hurt too?

 

[devilsblood]

Isn't he hurt too?

Dang, forgot about that.

 

[Its a Trap]

So...Palmieri and Hall had A's last night. Henrique gets one on the road?

 

[Blender]

Looks like we won't be calling anyone up for the game against Buffalo.

 

[Cheddabombs]

No Palms or Stafford for practice today, Greene is there though.

 

[Cheddabombs]

The top 6 still looks fine but the bottom 6 isn't too hot. Hopefully Palms and Stafford aren't out long

[njdevil26]

Reported that neither Palmieri or Stafford skated on their own. Not good.

 

[Rad Dude83]

Palms is gonna be gone for a month or 2. even if a bone bruise, those things take a long time to heal.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Great news, especially on Palms. Doesn't seem it's that serious

 

[Blender]

That's a great sign. If they are making the trip that means they are close to playing even if they don't play against Buffalo.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Best news that we can hope of. Fingers crossed they're both able to recover quickly and nothing serious occurred.
