GDT: Beat the Phockers: Your New Jersey Devils (3-1-1) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (3-2-1), 7 PM, MSG+

[Better Call Sal]

Led by our youngest guns, we took it to the Isles last time out with the most complete effort of the season so far.

But now, something awfully familiar and stinky comes this way from Philadelphia

Little by little, the boys look like they're feeling more confident

And here's hoping we can keep the good times rolling with the Wedge in net!

You guys are really killing it with these GDT’s.

Couturier's job is going to be to shut down the Hughes line, I would love for him to phail.

Edit: Couturier's out? Huh.

I was about to ask if there was a broken bone reference I am missing here since he is out

 

[glenwo2]

Elliot's in goal for them.

3 goals (minimum) by the Devils or I'll be most disappointed.

[ScottyK]

Ya gotta snipe those Focker you gotta snipe those !

 

[Emperoreddy]

Not that Elliot is any good, but he has been much better in his 2 starts as opposed to Hart. Assume we get Hart Thursday.

This is going to be a pretty big test for Wedgewood. Flyers can score unlike the Isles.

Flyers PK is currently ranked worse then ours so like to see the power play find a little traction in this one.

 

[ninetyeight]

Don’t know if they are a better team than Boston or Isles, but much much more dangerous and filled with star power. Gonna be a big test for the team and Wedgewood.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Hey Hughes...

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

Would like to see a big game from the Goose

 

[swiiscompos]

I love reading our opponents' boards, and one name that keeps appearing again and again is Wood. Looks like the whole league is afraid of him

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Let's get a W here. Keep up the early season magic with points for both Jack and Ty.

Went into this week feeling like Isles and Flyers were the big test. Isles ended up being a bit mixed, with a poor first game where the Fishsticks' style clearly frustrated the Devils, followed by a pretty great home game where the team consistently got the matchups it wanted and responded really well. Flyers are a different beast, and how well the Devils tackle them will say quite a bit about where they're at in this early stage.

...also, I can't help but feel this should be "Beat the Phockers".

 

[Blender]

I require another win tonight. LGD!!

Gaylord Elliot Focker, he's no goalie, he's really a male nurse !
