GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (9-2) @ Edmonton Oilers (3-7-1), 9 PM, NHL-N + MSG+

[JimEIV]

Yeah he’s still in jersey and on IR when Boyle was activated.

Oh I thought he went with the team. Thanks for the info.

 

[Darkauron]

From the best reporter Patrik Elias (Anyone heard of him?) Palms is skating at least.

 

[Bleedred]

I think Gross said that Palmieri was in a walking boot and hadn't started to skate yet, whick really sucks.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Excited to see Lars again! I miss that guy.

This is going to be a hell of a tough game for us, especially if MoJo is a NoGo. Go Devils!

 

[Ripshot 43]

Looks like he attached a skate to that boot then....

 

[Cheddabombs]

No MoJo tonight I guess. That's rough, those lines are not the prettiest. We need to get healthy

 

[Better Call Sal]

That Boyle-Zacha-Hayes line oughta be interesting.

 

[PWiz30]

No MoJo tonight I guess. That's rough, those lines are not the prettiest. We need to get healthy

Hopefully playing in a top 6 role doesn't make Gibbons stray from what has gotten him there.

 

[JK3]

I thought for sure we were going to roll 7 D. Oof those lines without Palms and Johansson, we need them back asap or call up Q or Blandisi.

 

[FooteBahl]

No MoJo tonight I guess. That's rough, those lines are not the prettiest. We need to get healthy

Looks like some of the 2016-17 lines!

 

[Better Call Sal]

I'm sure we'll see plenty of mixture of those lower 3 lines over the course of the night if things don't look good at the start. Could see them trying to move Zacha to the wing and Gibbons down, moving Boyle to center. There's plenty of options.

That 4th line has worked well for us in prior games, hopefully they find that same success.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

The lines are about the best we can do with what we have to work with. I don't hate them; it's just unfortunate.

Need Hall to keep rolling, and I'd like to see one of Zacha and Nico (ideally, both) step up and have a night.

It'll definitely be an emotional game.

 

[Darkauron]

My god we need one of mojo or palms to be back soon. Those lines SUCK

 

[NorwegianDevil]

3am start ... thanks obama

 

[Better Call Sal]

Ugh, I feel bad for Mojo.

 

[Balance]

I would call Blandisi and Queneville up and sit Noesen and Wood

 

[Cheddabombs]

Ugh, I am not a fan at all

 

[JimEIV]

Looks like some of the 2016-17 lines!

Anything we put out this year is better than Josefson, Kalinin, Pelly, Bennett, Fiddler, Quincey, Auvitu. That was a hot mess.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Get ready for 23 minutes tonight Hall

 

[Darkauron]

Ugh, I am not a fan at all

FFS. Our forwards are going to be worn out again..bad idea.

 

[Billdo]

Would’ve called up Blender or Q for this game rather than using Boyle AND 7 D.

 

[Emperoreddy]

JQ isn’t healthy right now and they most likely don’t want to put Mojo on IR

 

[BurntToast]

Would’ve called up Blender or Q for this game rather than using Boyle AND 7 D.

I think its more difficult when they are on a road trip on the otherside of the map. I remember some teams would bring some possible call-ups with them if they suspected a player couldn't go.

 

[DevilWithin]

This is what happened last season. The team was doing very well at the beginning and then fell off due to injuries and lack of cohesion as a group. Hope the guys recover fast and are back in the lineup after this road trip.

This is a much different team, though, and the players that were with us last year have more jump than we've seen. I don't foresee some sort of massive unraveling with the group we have this year.

Regardless, yeah, we're a much weaker team with those guys out. Hopefully Johansson and Palmieri are back in the mix soon.
