GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (5-7-4) vs. Ottawa Senators (6-10-1), 7 PM, MSG

[Azathoth]

Lineups appear to be dead on.

Wonder how long it will take for Zacha to do something good, er I mean piss Hynes off, and get demoted for Wood?

So when Hall gets traded, is Wood our #1 LW or would that be Zacha? I'm semi-kidding

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

Hughes needs to score to keep pace with kaka.

John Hynes "You'll get one period of Zacha and two periods of Wood and you'll like it!!"

Kind of crazy that Kakko would be tied for the team lead in goals with Palmieri in New Jersey.

This team often gives us one period of Wood, and two periods of Zilch.

I'm sure Hynes has been dying to get his boy John Hayden back into the lineup, so Zacha would probably just head straight to the scratch box

 

[Cheddabombs]

Hynes anytime Zacha does something wrong

 

[guitarguyvic]

Can we get a win so we don’t have to hear Taylor cry about the fan reaction?

 

[The Joker]

Why don't we just send Boqvist down and develop him further in the AHL? Don't get it.

All in all I can dig these lines. Who would have thought 2 years ago that Zacha would be a thing again but here we are. I'm happy for him (until Hynes puts him on the 4th line again). We really need another defensemen though. Vatanen missing is killing our Defense.

 

[Tretyak 20]

I have to say, I have been in favor of letting Vatanen walk at the end of the season but we are noticeably and significantly worse without him in the lineup.

Yes. This is a very good reminder of why some of us have been saying since vfc the summer that you have to resign him.

Unfortunately, he can't be sent down to the AHL, or else I'm sure he'd be there already.

 

[Devils731]

Hynes: Boqvist has really earned his minutes and looks good...

Me: Great, I’m looking forward to him getting some consistent minutes and finding a rhythm.

Hynes: so I will continue to scratch him most games.

Me: ...

 

[Nubmer6]

These are the lines i've been pushing for over the last couple weeks. Let's see how wrong I was

 

[JimEIV]

I am a bit surprised that their isn't more enthusiasm in this thread...I mean it is Ottawa we're playing?

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

I am a bit surprised that their isn't more enthusiasm in this thread...I mean it is Ottawa we're playing?

... And the Senators are playing the Devils!

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

I have no idea what the plan is for Boqvist. Management can’t think that health scratching this kid is a good thing for his development.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I mean, anyone who expected a lineup change after we won last game clearly hasn't paid too close attention to how Hynes has operated over the last 5 years.

 

[JimEIV]

... And the Senators are playing the Devils!

I am honestly shocked..I just looked at the standings and didn't realize Ottawa has more wins, more goals scored and fewer goals allowed than us.

 

[MadDevil]

I mean, anyone who expected a lineup change after we won last game clearly hasn't paid too close attention to how Hynes has operated over the last 5 years.

And honestly, all the lines were pretty good last game. But Boqvist is young, therefore it is a tragedy he's not playing.

?? Didn't Boqvist play last game?

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

?? Didn't Boqvist play last game?

nope

 

[MadDevil]

?? Didn't Boqvist play last game?

No. We got the "ideal" forward lineup in Edmonton, did f*** all with it, and Rooney came back in to the lineup against Vancouver, with Boqvist sitting.

 

[Better Call Sal]

?? Didn't Boqvist play last game?

Nope, he was taken out for Rooney.
