GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (4-7-4) @ Vancouver Canucks (9-5-3), 4 PM, MSG+

[MadDevil]

At least with Mueller/Tennyson our worst defensemen will be isolated to their own pairing and won't drag down anybody else.

 

[FooteBahl]

if only Mueller was #24, then you could say they're getting scored on - 24/7.

I guess we’ll have to wait until next year for the Ty Smith/Tennyson pairing

 

[vikash1987]

Please win.

 

[pulkit1989]

I’ll be cheering for my devils here in Vancouver!! LGD!! Dont disappoint

NOT FUNNY!!!!

 

[MadDevil]

I never thought I'd see the day when I was wishing we still had Ben Lovejoy.

lol Stein said that Hynes never said that about Boqvist

so things are going swimmingly

 

[Auto Pilot]

Lol I knew he’d use the last game as an excuse to sit Boqvist. Yea, having a hard time scoring let’s take out actual offensive talent. Hynes is seriously terrible and I lose faith in Shero the longer Hynes stays employed.

 

[JK3]

We'll come out and have a decent fist period, Canucks will adjust and take it to us the rest of the game as usual. How many goals have we given up in the third period, it has to be ridiculously bad.

 

[Nico Hischier]

We haven’t even lost the game yet today and I can’t wait for the hall and hynes saga to be over. This feels like it’s going to be a long season

 

[MartyOwns]

eh i don’t mind rooney in tbh. boqvist is somewhat redundant and hasn’t really been that effective to this point.

 

[Combat Koala]

[None Shall Pass]

Outside of the shootout goal the other night you could have told me Boqvist hasn't been playing at all and I wouldn't have blamed you for being wrong.

Young guy, long season. Sit him a game here and there and let Rooney, who is fine, play. Not the end of the world.

What is this “adjust” you speak of? I wasn’t aware teams could actually do that.

Save us Ben "Obi Wan" Lovejoy.

 

[DerekDevils30]

We're up 1-0 on aggregate. Let's see how we blow this one

 

[NJDevs26]

I don't want to be THAT type of poster but it sure would be nice if one of the beat writers brought that up to Hynes that LITERALLY LESS THAN A WEEK AGO he said Boqvist has earned the right to play and two games later he's sitting for Rooney. I'm sure he'll go with something along the lines of "With Vatanen being out we need a better defensive player".

Yeah this is where you wish the beat guys were a little more edgy to the team like the Jet beat writers lol, and not just Mehta. Cimini was calling out the staff for being too predictable during the game today. I can't picture Abbey or Ryan doing that with Hynes.

I never thought I'd see the day when I was wishing we still had Ben Lovejoy.

I can top that, I wish we had a healthy Carrick.

 

[MadDevil]

We iced the forward lineup people wanted against Edmonton and did f*** all offensively. Of course somebody was going to end up sitting today.

Yeah I don't have a problem with Boqvist sitting per se although you'd like to at some point either see him play or go away as opposed to being in the stands for 55 games this year.

It just looks bad when Hynes makes a point of saying he's going to be in the lineup a while and a while lasted all of two games. Maybe he assumed Bratt would be out longer but still.

It's incredible how bad the Defense has been without him.

I always thought he was the problem but apparently he kept the Defense from becoming awful like it is now.

Then either someone placed FAKE NEWS on social media or Hynes is playing dumb (which he really doesn't have to since he just needs to be himself to do that).

He said that before they lost the last two, in which Boqvist didn't generate a single shot.

By the way, I shit you not, they have Bratt's picture on Boqvist's profile on Hockey Reference.

 

[The Wumpus]

Against better judgement, I'm looking forward to this one. We seem to have entertaining games vs Vancouver lately.
