Montreal played last night and did not look good. Hopefully they have tired legs tonight.

 

[Bologna 1]

get it done, keep them drowning. never easy going into Bell Centre though.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Hmm for a late GDT that was thrown together, this seems awfully well done

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Good GDT. Let's go, Devils! Please get a win!

 

[Burner Account]

I think I saw this morning that Montreal is 3-12 in its last 15 games.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I think I saw this morning that Montreal is 3-12 in its last 15 games.

It's something along those lines, they're 4-12 since we beat them back at the end of November.

Never underestimate the power of gifs and boredom at work.

 

[Bleedred]

Ruutu is in.

That means we'll probably only score one.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Ruutu is in.

That means we'll probably only score one.

At most

 

[JK3]

Ruutu is in.

That means we'll probably only score one.

Haha was waiting for this. I'll have to photoshop his head onto a Highlander pic, "There can only be one...goal". Hey at least Sislo is out.

 

[Rhodes 81]

Somehow I feel like this game will be more tough than I would hope based on how the Habs have been playing. Hopefully we can eke two points out.

 

[Ben Matlock]

Ruutu is in.

That means he'll probably only score one.

Fixed

 

[Stephen Gionta]

Big game for NJD tonight....

When all healthy, I really wanna see the lines look like this:

Matteau - Zajac - Palmieri
Cammalleri - Henrique - Kalinin
Elias - Josefson - Stempniak
Farnham - Gionta - Tootoo

 

[Bleedred]

Fixed

His current goal drought is like 30 games.

If he ever scores again, play should stop for a minute and every Devil should skate on the ice and celebrate with him, like the Avalanche players did with Iginla the other night. The bench should seriously empty with such an event.

 

[liquid1988]

Glad Ill be stuck at work till 9 tonight. Wont have to watch a boring 1 goal game with Ruutu back in the lineup.

 

[Feed Me A Stray Cat]

Do people actually believe Ruutu v. random other 4th liner has any effect on how many goals we score?

 

[Burner Account]

They do.

 

[tr83]

Bleed did make a good point about this the other night. It's quite a coincidence.

 

[devilsblood]

We should have played Ruutu vs Detroit, we would have gotten at least a point. And then JJ for the shootout.

Hynes just is not pushing the right buttons anymore.

 

[tr83]

Other than the outdoor game, Montreal has looked like utter trash. They NEED Price back ASAP

 

[Better Call Sal]

Do people actually believe Ruutu v. random other 4th liner has any effect on how many goals we score?

You'd like to think not, but then again, it is HFBoards.

 

[Colin226]

Not feeling good about this one. They lost to the Flyers on the road and will be looking to apply the pressure to us in front of their crowd.

 

[Feed Me A Stray Cat]

This is the same board that tried to claim that Cory Schneider was somehow holding back the team's offense in 13-14 due to the goals scored discrepancy with him and Brodeur in net, so I'm actually not surprised.

 

[theoptimist]

Do people actually believe Ruutu v. random other 4th liner has any effect on how many goals we score?

It's a pretty funny coincidence.

 

[Better Call Sal]

It's definitely not going to be easy, no matter how badly Montreal is reeling. Say what you want about their play, they still have a ton of talent up and down the lineup. Definitely another game in which we're really going to miss Cammy.

Galchenyuk is the one to watch for, he burnt us in the home at home series with 3 goals in 2 games and a shootout goal too.
