Devils and Wings are lower in the standings than the Rangers (who isn't, ha), and slightly lower than the Isles. So I hope we can get at least 2 points in the last 2 games of this road trip

 

[ducks8]

Any guess on of any of the hurt players are back? I'm going to say no

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Already? ugh. Can't even hit the liquor store because they are closed on Sunday.

 

[Quack Shot]

I’m excited to watch the Devils tonight at least

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Time for gibson to play game of his life and then we’ll leave him at staduim

 

[Static]

They are playing a 7pm Sunday night game? That's lame

 

[JohnnyDrama]

To watch Ravens/Jags or this manure? Hmm

People in Jersey don't like their families so they don't want to spend time with them.

 

[slippingsloth]

Is it too much to ask for one young injured star to return?

Considering he was a GTD two days ago I’m guessing McTavish is back.

My gut also tells me that at least one of Z/Drysdale will play one of these two BTB games

Sorry best we can do is sit carlsson too

 

[Leonardo87]

Sorry best we can do is sit carlsson too

Doubt he is going to play tonight and tomorrow based on what Verbeek said in his last interview. So wonder which game he will sit.

If we are missing Leo, Mac, and Z. I don’t even think this game is watchable .

Maybe the Ducks will wear the black helmets to jazz things up!

I'm all for team spirit, but if you're two games into a four game road trip and haven't played any of Zegras, McTavish or Drysdale, should you have even brought them?

Could've just left them in Anaheim to recuperate.

They have to get in game shape, so they need to practice with the team.

I can't judge, I overpack all the time.

I mean, if you don't think participating in full practice is important to getting them as game ready as possible, then sure, leave them in Anaheim

No guarantee they don’t play the last 2 games

I think at least 1 plays tonight and all play against the wings

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Guessing McTavish will play if Leo sits.

Regarding Z/Drysdale, don't we have to make a roster move or put someone on waivers for one or both to play? They're both on IR, IIRC. Don't think that's the case with McTavish.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Gibby needs some offense.
Help!
Not just any offense.
Help!
You know Gibby need some offense
Heh-eh-ehhh .. -eeh-elp.

So much younger than today
(I never need) I never needed extra offensive help in any way
(Now) but now these playoff days are gone (these playoff days are gone)
I'm not so self assured
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind
And opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate if you can score more right now
Help me get the team back in win column
Won't you please, please help me
