GDT: ECQF Game Two: New Jersey Devils vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

[Darkauron]

Just win

Bratt has arguably been worse than Stafford lately. I'm not a Stafford fan, but I don't really have a problem with him getting a game. Too many people here treat it like the sky is falling.

Yeah Bratt hasn't been great. I personally would keep Gibbons in but that's more my commentary on Stafford than a compliment to Gibbons. Not a huge fan of 7D although that's a cheap way to get Severson in yet have the insurance policy of Lovejoy.

Stafford hasn't been horrible in his recent games but I'm not sure his style is the impact we needed. At least Gibbons can kill penalties against a great PP. Bratt has speed which I think last game lacked but he hasn't done much with it.

Not a fan of having Maroon, Boyle, and Stafford all mucking it up out there. We shall see.

Hynes making questionable decisions? I'm shocked

 

[Blender]

You know what I like it

Lull them into a false sense of security. Like "wow, we're really going to play against Stafford in the playoffs. Easy win boys!" Next thing you know, boom, Stafford hat trick.

John Hynes 4D chess.

also what is this, like a 3:15 start?

why are they so delayed lol

It's on TV in Canada, expect every playoff game we play to start late.

John Hynes 4D chess.

More like 16-bit mahjong.

Just start now. I just opened a nice, cold Beck's beer myself.

We have to cherish these "evening" games

 

[theoptimist]

Start already. Ive been drinking for a bit too. Not expecting OT.

 

[theoptimist]

After the 1st goal. Either team - it's time.

For not much more than Jim Beam, you can have this - 7 year aged single barrel reserve. Very good value for price point ($27).

Noted. Thanks.

This game is on msnbc right?

 

[Alex NJD]

Did they just say our D needs to join the rush MORE???

I turn on the Devils/Lightning game on Sportsnet, and all the coverage is about Nashville/Colorado.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Really not a fan of Lovejoy being in the line up. He seriously sucks. He's a huge liability against a team like Tampa. Not good enough with the puck, not offensively smart enough, and not a good enough skater. He's a waste of a roster spot.

Where you seeing that?

 

[BenedictGomez]

Wow. Just saw a low on the ice replay on NBC of the Tampa powerplay goal that the Devils broadcast didnt have.

That was a crazy fluke goal.

Mueller and the Tampa forward both get a piece of the puck and it hits the Tampa forward blade, which kicks it direct right UNDER Kincaids pad right to the other Tampa forward for an ENG.

NBC has the devils game

Help keep the puck in the offensive zone. Better pinches. The problem is, we have Greene and Lovejoy playing, both suck at skating now, and neither are good enough with the puck to make a good keep in or pinch.

No. NBC in NJ and Florida CNBC everywhere else. If you turn on MSNBC you will get nonstop Muller coverage

Yup... lol, they might touch on our game soon for 30 seconds

 

[theoptimist]

Stafford was big for the B's last postseason

 

[Wolf Stansson 30]

No. NBC in NJ and Florida CNBC everywhere else. If you turn on MSNBC you will get nonstop Muller coverage

What if you live in PA?

 

[BenedictGomez]

Drew Stafford warming up on the fourth line.

WHY GOD, WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He brings NOTHING. At least Gibbons is lethal on the PK. You know, something that might be important versus about the best PowerPlay in the entire NHL.

I hope LJ sits. Seriously.
