GDT: YOUR NEW JERSEEEYYYYY DEVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS @ New York Islanders

[slammer]

let's go devils!!!!

 

[MartyOwns]

lets do it again? lgd

 

[BadFella]

Do we got this?

On to the Mausoleum we go!

 

[The Wumpus]

Everything's coming up Clarkson.

 

[Billdo]

Better pictures of Sloan are needed for future GDT's.

 

[Stonewall]

I'm sure this has been said already and the other GDT is closed anyway, but Marty was great last night. His passing really opened up the game when we were down 3-1.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Is Matteau dresssing?? or healthy scratched again?? I want to see him get in a scrap and get a little feisty today if he is playing

 

[Nick0930]

Poni's trying to pump up Moose for this game.

 

[Saugus]

News and notes made my early morning. Well done.

My first thought was, "can we pay Clarkson in beer?"

Grabner and his breakaways---ROTFLMFAO! I put the Clarkson goal stat in the WTF? thread on the main NHL Talk forum.

Just contain Tavares and Moulson.

We've usually done a good job of containing Tavares, but I agree, shutting him down is key. He will probably see a lot of Greene-Larsson.

That's a good picture of the arena lol.

You forgot our 82345th matchup this season (actually 4th in 15 games, which is insane enough...only one more after today though).

 

[regulahbread]

Tallinder in for Fayne tonight, as per Rich Chere.

 

[NJDevs26]

btw I happened to look at the Isles' game thread for the hell of it, the first stat the op posted in their game thread jumped off the page:

The Devils have more wins at Nassau Colliseum this season (2-0) than the Islanders (1-5).

Tallinder in for Fayne tonight, as per Rich Chere.

The 'minor injury' coming back again? Or is this a mental health day after Fayne's death in the family this week?

Ledger_NJDevils: Pete DeBoer on Fayne: "There are some areas in his game he can clean up."

 

[Mgd31]

Fayne needs to clean up some areas of his game per DeBoer.

He did have that terrible turnover that led to the Flyers 3rd goal last night and wasn't that sharp last night in general. I am okay with this move.

[Devilswede]

I don't get why DeBoer is scratching Fayne. I guess he has to get Tallinder back in at some point, but I don't think Fayne is the guy to take out.

 

[Saugus]

Well, that's odd. I think Fayne has been solid. I don't think it's a coincidence that our record without him in the lineup was dreadful, and we've been on a roll since he's been back.

 

[NJDevs26]

Eh, I'm meh about maying Fayne the first 'punishment benching' of the year. Especially after how bad the D was the last time he was out of the lineup. He hasn't had a great week so I guess one day off isn't the worst thing in the world but still.

 

[Mgd31]

Yea I'd still take out Salvador, Volchenkov, and Zidlicky way before him.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

They won't scratch the captain and they like Zidlicky's offense.

 

[BadFella]

Yea I'd still take out Salvador

BUT HE'S THE CAPTAIN!!!

 

[Zippy316]

I guess it was kind of expected.

As bad as Volchenkov and Zidlicky are, they are very important for the games they bring even if they have minor slip-ups.

Greene, Larsson, Fayne, Tallinder all play similar games, so it's not a surprise that they took out the one whose had some bad luck recently.

 

[Jack Griffin]

Apparently Fayne is the only one not allowed to have a bad game.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Tallinder in for Fayne tonight, as per Rich Chere.

Sure, sit the one giveaway goal guy but let Zids keep going and giving up odd man rush after odd man rush and weak body play in the crease.

Makes sense.

Greene and Larsson should be filling in for Zids PP time now and Tallinder and Fayne both dressing.
