GDT: Devils vs. Panthers - 7:00PM MSG+

[MadDevil]

Coleman led all forwards with 18:10 tonight.

 

[MadDevil]

They took Hayes off the PP.

So I think that gives a glimmer of hope that he will be benched tomorrow.

He only played like 9 minutes total tonight, so it's entirely possible.

LOLROFLMAO!

That was GOOD! I couldn't stop laughing on this one. I have to screen shot this for my buddy and send him this in a picture message, he'll DIE if he reads this!

The answer though? The restaurant might have to take the loss for now, until they settle that one in court.

Viola actually wasn't cheap his first couple his years there. He was spending to the cap, even though a couple of the contracts Dale gave out were pretty suspect. Then they took a missile to the team, fired everybody, kicked Tallon upstairs for the year and ''Fired'' him via promotion, brought in a couple good players, but since they blew it up and it failed, they got rid of those good players through expansion draft and got rid of Demers for basically free, and now they're only spending $65 million per year, but have lied and claimed this isn't true and that there is no internal cap.

Then they fired Mr Magoo (I think that's what Urinating Tree's video called Tom Rowe haha) and brought Tallon back into the GM role.

Oh man this sounds like something that would happen in a Seinfeld episode. They enjoy their meals and drinks and then the bill comes. Viola sneaks away to "freshen up" and doesn't return. Melnyk ends up being the only one there and eventually calls Erik Karlsson who pays the bill and tips generously. Melnyk is wasted of course.

 

[The Joker]

I think Coleman is the real player on the line.

Thought he as well had a pretty good game tonight. Wasn't happy with Noesen though.

Wood had a few bad shifts, but he can create chances and did so tonight. That happens if your physical abilities are top notch but your hockey IQ non existant.

 

[Bleedred]

No time to get too confident here or happy with this win, it's time to #freezacha for tomorrow night.

Get some fresh, young legs (don't laugh haha, I know that looked a lot creepier than I intended) in there for tomorrow night, for a team that played less than 24 hours earlier, after an 800 mile flight, and very early arrival in the AM hours.

 

[Colin226]

Absolutely excellent crowd tonight!! This game was so damn fun haha

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Say what you will about sal and daneyko but they really know the game. I think they’ve been providing some really great insight.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They really loved Santini brusing out there.

 

[Billdo]

Noesen.

Boyle's importance on this team was shown at the end

I thought Noesen had a solid game. If anyone is sitting I’d sit Hayes...

Hall-Hischier-Palmieri
Bratt-Zacha-Stafford
Wood-Henrique-Noesen
Gibbons-Boyle-Coleman

 

[tr83]

This team needs the Santini that showed up tonight. I hope he steps up to be the #2 D-man on this team.

You're such a dirty old man.

 

[DerekDevils30]

A win is a win, but is was a bad performance. Fla. outshot the Devils 17-4 in third period...on a second half of a back to back with travel. And they are third to last in the league.

They points are welcome after being unlucky earlier in the week, but it doesn’t inspire confidence. This team is still feels like it is on the cliff’s edge

I would be with you on the latter if we weren't getting Zajac back soon and hopefully Johansson. I think this is a good team that needed a win. I've said all along if they can keep their heads above water until the calvary arrives, they'll have a shot at the playoffs.

I can already hear the signature bass line that's played in Seinfeld, when switching to another scene. Viola excuses himself to the restroom, but the camera shows him walking out the front door. Then Melnyk checks his watch. Then the bass line, and it shifts right back to Melnyk, who is shown looking at his watch again.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

It was a thing of beauty when Coleman just pinned Ekblad behind his own net on the PK.

 

[glenwo2]

This team needs the Santini that showed up tonight. I hope he steps up to be the #2 D-man on this team.

This team needs an actual Hockey Team to show up tomorrow.

Not the Keystone Cops version 'cause the Hawks will destroy us if THAT version appears again.

 

[MNDevilsfan]

I've thought Coleman has been great, even through the losing streak. I was skeptical of him last year because of the total lack of offense, but he's shown much more in that regard this season. Looking like a great bottom 6 forward. Wood has been quite good as well.

That Santini hit on Barkov was a thing of beauty...really hope Noesen is scratched for Zacha tomorrow.

Who plays the role of George Costanza here?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Trocheck apparently played like 27 minutes tonight? what the hell?

 

[The 29th Pick]

Are they selling those?

I WANT ONE!!!

We are the DEVILS!!!!

THE DEVILLLLLS!!!!

David Puddy - We're The Devils - We are The Devils T-shirts

 

[Bleedred]

You're such a dirty old man.

I remember using that line when I was younger, back when I was a kid and some stupid kid would turn every simple thing into some dirty meaning haha.

It is kind of creepy, when someone doesn't realize the context or what the discussion entails haha.

It's too damn good. I'm literally in stitches over here

 

[NjDevsRR]

IMO the real three stars were:

Cory
Santini
Coleman

 

[MadDevil]

They were a very top heavy team tonight. Yandle and Ekblad both played over 25 minutes, and 4 forwards (including Trochek) played over 20 minutes.

His corsi and fenwick are pretty ridiculous for a guy that gets a heavily lopsided amount of D-zone starts. He barely starts shifts in the O-zone.

They've come down a little bit, probably because they were unsustainable for anybody that is used in the D-zone like he has been.

I like Noesen, but I'll take Zacha over him every time. I wish we liked Noesen more sometimes, but Hayes is actually producing points (for now) so I understand why he's played.

 

[Bleedred]

They're also one of the few teams that feels the need to play an enforcer. Haley was a Pete favorite, for the past several years in San Jose.

I remember wanting these players eliminated from NHL hockey, all the way back in the early 90's. There were some lame-o's that I met, who only liked hockey because of the fighting and the enforcers. If I wanna watch fighting, I'll watch a nice boxing match.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think fighting should be banned, especially not now, since these players are being phased out. I like a nice reflex fight and not the organized kind, where a player only has a roster spot because of their ability to fight.
