GDT: #26 New Jersey Devils (9-12-4) @ Toronto Maple Leafs (13-8-3) - 7:30PM ET

[Emperoreddy]

How the **** are we only two points out of third?!? Jesus the Metro flat out sucks.

 

[Devilsfan992]

How do we score 5 goals with this sorry ass lineup tonight, but we can't even usually get 3 or sometimes even 2 with Elias, Jägr and Havlat all in the lineup?

Speed, Effort, Boardwork

 

[Emperoreddy]

Forgot maple leafs. Haha

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

Brunner sucks. I've had it with him, decent shot and creativity but zero hockey IQ or ability to play without the puck.

Yea, this really might have been his swan song tonight especially since Pete apparently blew a gasket on him at the bench during the second period.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Good win for the Devils, looks like i have to think up another GDT theme...

Fight Night's at Freddy's. Screw its past Halloween. I think it could be funny.

When can I say..."I told you so" about gomer? Just kidding..glad he's playing well and glad the team got a win!

I totally missed this. Seems like he was benched, but I didn't know he got ripped apart.

lol I didn't even see the game, but this doesn't shock me. I think we're all done with him.

Only if I get to pop off an I told you so about Brunner

 

[Devils Trap]

How the **** did we win this game..... With that ****ing lineup

 

[Devs4L]

It's amazing to me that even at his age and playing in his first 2 games, what Gomez brings feels like a breath of fresh air in our forward group.

 

[NJDevs26]

People talk about our increased speed but evidently this is a more physical lineup too:

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice 4m4 minutes ago
Devils outhit Maple Leafs 50-36. The 50 hits were a season high by wide margin. Previous high was 36 in opener in Philadelphia.

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice 4m4 minutes ago
Seth Helgeson led the way with 10 hits. Eric Gelinas had 6. Jordin Tootoo had 5 in 5:45 of ice time.

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice 2m2 minutes ago
Tonight was a continuation of third period vs. Pittsburgh. They had 16 hits in third.

Ferraro mentioned it on the TSN feed. Brunner didn't get the puck deep and came back to the bench to get an earful from Pete.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Gomez may very well be the best 2nd best forward on the team right now after Henrique, which is absolutely horrifying on so many levels.

 

[JK3]

To be honest I don't miss Zajac at all.

 

[Feed Me A Stray Cat]

A little tidbit about hits...high hit totals mean you don't have the puck. Not necessarily great to have a lot of hits.

 

[MadDevil]

So somehow we play better when a bunch of guys are injured. This team...

This is a Toronto team that was blown out by Buffalo. Let's give it a few more games before we decide how the team is playing.

Gomez sure looked good, though

He did have an assist and a couple of shots today

Brunner does have offensive skill. How much offense can we afford to jettison from the lineup at this point. He has 3 points in his last 4 games. It's not like he's been doing nothing of late

 

[Uli Hiemer]

To be honest I don't miss Zajac at all.

Agreed.

That's a horrible thing to say. But a near finished Gomez has more creativity in his body than Zajac. It's sad.

 

[goawaygary*]

To be honest I don't miss Zajac at all.

eh. He doesn't provide much offensively but Toronto did have a lot of scoring chances today. I don't think they get as many with Zajac in the lineup tonight.

 

[NJDevs26]

Gomez may very well be the best 2nd best forward on the team right now after Henrique, which is absolutely horrifying on so many levels.

Especially since it would still be the same if Zajac was in the lineup

yea seriously he is what he is, if he puts up points I'm fine with him because we don't have that many forwards that can put up points.

 

[Unknown Caller]

To be honest I don't miss Zajac at all.

Yup. Let's be honest, he's a third line center at this point.

 

[R8Devs]

How the **** are we only two points out of third?!? Jesus the Metro flat out sucks.

standings don't really matter at this junction. the devils still need to get above 90 points to make the playoffs because other teams will pick it up.
