GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (23-36-5) @ Washington Capitals (36-20-10), 7 PM, MSG+

Should be a win tonight unless we show our worst defensive version and poor goaltending.

I like your optimism, but the caps kill us virtually every time. I don't know that there is any way we "should" beat them.

We are 2-1 against the caps this year. But yeah they killed us for some time in the recent years.

They are on a b2b and we are a fast and high scoring team. We should match well with a "old", unrested and a little slow team.

We can lose this 6-4 or something like that too but I think we take the 2 points today.

3 points night for Nico the Great.

Ha! Unfortunately I have a 10 month old and wife who are both not feeling great so sleep is a bit of an afterthought these days.

LGD!

Hopefully everyone shows up tonight.

 

[The Wumpus]

My expectations are modest: just score 7 goals

Best of luck to you…

… only 17 more years to go

My sanity.

I kid, of course. Kid is tougher than me. Love him to death, can't wait to bring him to his first game some day.

 

[FinnishDevil]

My expectations for the rest of the season are also modest. Nico/Bratt/Jack points are cool, but I want Mason Geertsen to score a goal.

 

[MartyOwns]

i really really hope we win! HUGE 2 points here! lgd

We beat them 4-3 in the last meeting, though so it's not actually...virtually every time.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

At least no Oshie?

Was this close to driving down for this one.

What the heck is going on with Zacha, there are like no updates. is he getting a bionic arm ala Nico?

He's dead.

I live in Florida these days and I refuse to bring my son to a Lightning game before I get to bring him up to Jersey to see his first game among fellow Devils fans in the home atmosphere. He’s 6 now and we still have t gone because of Covid the past few years. Soon tho…. Hoping next season.

 

[glenwo2]

He's dead.

Well he plays like his career is dead so you're not completely wrong.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Well he plays like his career is dead so you're not completely wrong.

Still, the team somehow looks better with him than without him. It's strange.

Would love to get him there next season myself, not that he’d remember a thing. But a memory I’ll hold dearly when it happens. And why I forever remain optimistic we’ll all have positive Devil moments in the future the way the core of this roster is shaping up.
