So if we go on a winning streak Tony won't get in any of the games? I'll be happy with the winning streak but it'll be unfair to Tony.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Must Win.

 

[cwede]

mixed feelings re Tony D sitting, but JJ at 13 minutes was much less noticeable in any wrong ways...

had forgotten, until reading Vince, that Kakk, Fil, PDG were together for late last season

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Don't agree w DeAngelo sitting.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Laf goes multi point in this one.

 

[Kords]

Finally getting a win after over 10 months should have the boys gripping the stick a little less, I think we're gonna have a good one. Also Laf should be playing opposite people closer to his age, can see him having a good game.

Life's unfair

Expect big time games from Tom Chorske, Corey Millen, and Tommy Albelin.

Strome stays on pp1 tho right DQ?

Strome stays on pp1 tho right DQ?

Of course . He’s the V8 engine that drives that high end machine

 

[bl02]

Hope it will be Fox's time for a dman to put up a hat-trick and 5 points against Newark

 

[bl02]

Of course . He’s the V8 engine that drives that high end machine

Of course and his amazing ability to win a faceoff to get the pp started on the right foot

Don't agree w DeAngelo sitting.

Don't love it either, but Quinn was not going to change the lineup following a shutout. And Smith deserves to stay in. Not a fan of JJ, but like I said I doubt any coach would have made changes following that game.

It’s crazy that he’s still running this. The PP last year was good in spite of the 4 RH set up, not because of it.

Swap Strome with Buch and now you have a one timer option/one touch pass option from both circles.

PP is 1-12 right now with the only goal coming when Buch was on PP1 in place of Strome. Strome also hasn’t looked good at all so it really shouldn’t be a problem. DQ going “well look at how good that unit was last year” as his reasoning for keeping it together is also not great. Rosters change, players performance levels change. Strome looks like ass, Buch looks great AND the current unit is not working at all. He was quick to switch all his lines and to switch PP2 but won’t touch PP1 when they haven’t been able to do anything at all this year except for the one time Buch was out there? Come on.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Gotta roll the same folks after a 5-0 win. If tony D had any brains he wouldn't be in this position.

Also they'll see a lot more open ice against the Devils than they did against the Isles. Likely will see a few players flap their wings a bit more this game.

It's just the way Quinn coaches.

Win = Same line-up
Lose = Line-up Shuffle

[HatTrick Swayze]

The idea that "they can't make any changes, it worked last game" is pretty logically flawed. Coach to beat the team in front of you, not the team in your rear view mirror.

If you have a box that has a 80% chance of having a $100 bill inside, and a box that has a 20% chance of having a $100 bill inside, are you really going to pick the 20% box again just because you got lucky on the last selection?

I feel like this is one of those things that has more to do with superstition and not wanting to be wrong than actually properly analyzing the situation. I don't see how to reasonably argue that the team has a better chance of winning without DeAngelo, other than "it worked last time" which isn't convincing.

I hope k puts Hughes in his pocket,

Yeah...it sure was powerful without TonyD running it in the last Isle game....Oh well...worse case is that we get nice new shiny end boards with Trouba hitting them 99/100 times with his monster slapper !

 

[Harbour Dog]

We're a much better team with Deangelo dressed, but I've gotten to the point with all the drama that follows him that I don't care that we've scratched him tonight.

Everything that happens surrounding him is tiring.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I hope k puts Hughes in his pocket,

Laf is going to put him into the 3rd row
