GDT: 3/27/18 - Weathering the storm - Devils vs Hurricanes 7PM MSG

[Billdo]

One of these days we'll have a fully healthy lineup. Right?

We’ll be fully healthy for game #83.

 

[Bleedred]

For as hot as I was hearing Rawly was last night, the 3 in a row that they've just won were against Arizona and two in a row against the Sens. Who the hell doesn't beat the Sens right now? A pee wee team?

 

[New Jersey]

all due respect to the canes our boys really need to come out and f***in smoke them. hold nothing back.

 

[DEVILS130]

It's a very favorable stretch coming up...need to take advantage. CAR, NYI, NYR, MTL

 

[blood gin]

i think getting one point tonight officially eliminates the rangers. not that we needed any motivation, just saying

I actually remember on the main board some Rag fan posted a "tank push" thread for the hot second the Rangers played well right after selling. They thought they were going to actually still make the playoffs!

you can include PIT in there, it's safe.

Aha yea! Wait a minute, that would mean...

 

[blood gin]

good timing, anyway. i think having maroon and wood in the lineup is a bit redundant, especially against a team like carolina.

Maroon and Boyle in the same lineup I don't particularly like because neither can move. At least Wood can skate

Boyle is on fumes.

 

[DEVILS130]

I hope so...5-2 and 96 points should be good enough to get us in.

 

[Ben Matlock]

I'd rather save those Get Out Of Jail Free cards for the last couple of games. Win!

 

[glenwo2]

Please give me a Devils win and a Flyers loss.

I'd love to jump over Philly so Florida can be their problem.

Philly is at 89 points

Devils are currently at 86.

If Philly loses in regulation and the Devils win, then yes. We are just one point behind Philly.

However, Florida STILL remains our problem because we would not be leapfrogging them(The Flyers).

 

[glenwo2]

We do!

She sounds excited.

I'm terrified.

We have a game in hand vs Philly. Florida has 2. We could both pass them if they lose.

 

[Nubmer6]

BTW, updated the original post with the lines. I was getting this weird fear that we wouldn't know them until after I left for the game.

true, yeah. but IMO, boyle is on another level of uselessness. i don't expect him to be a factor in our games, and he isn't. maroon/wood though, i guess i have higher expectations

No ****

My statement was a general one. If we can jump the Flyers, Florida's their issue. Let's make that happen.

I don't like the last two lines.

I haven't been a fan of Grabner here, but can't we swap and Coleman? Why is he playing with Boyle and Gibbons and not Zajac and Noesen?

 

[theoptimist]

Oh boy, Zacha has his work cut out for him trying to manage The Erratics

I think Hynes is sticking with what lines worked in the past.

Hall Hischier Bratt
Coleman Zajac Noesen

Grabner and Maroon are interchangeable parts, that is why they were brought in, especially when MoJo and Gibbons were out. I still would like to re-sign both of them. Good depth players to have and they won't hurt you unlike the trash bin of Hayes, Stafford, Lappin etc.

Game 83 better not be played on a golf course

Coleman-Zajac-Noesen have worked well together before, and it seems like we're playing a speed guy on every line so that's why Grabner is where he is.

In fact, the top 3 lines have worked well together in the past, so it seems to make a lot of sense to me.

yeah because we'll have to do it in a year where you need minimum 96 points when the flyers beat us and got to the final in 2010 on 88 points lol.
