If it's another 56-23 shot game that'll be an easy answer

 

[New Jersey]

self-deprecating fun fact:

tonight will be my eighth time watching the devils in the state of new york.

they've lost the first seven, and it took until the last game at barclays for them to get a single point.

sorry guys.

In other words, we're trending up! Totally getting two points tonight

Going to my first away game

Santini to AHL, Schneider ill and out, Appleby up, Kinkaid in.

 

[NJDevs26]

Oh grand...this will take a Spidey miracle now.

I assume Santini going down is as much in anticipation of Mueller coming back? I didn't figure they'd be keeping 8 D but I'm somewhat surprised he went from first pairing to out just like that. They could have just recalled Appelby on emergency if it was only about tonight.

Desperate measures indeed...

Completely busts the idea that Santini’s zone starts account for why he’s the worst possession defenseman in the NHL.

 

[Darkauron]

Whoa crap. Cory please get betterrrrr

 

[mtnet]

This triggers a conditional pick

As in, now I have to pick up some booze on the way home from work...

Yeah...this is going to be a rough one..

[New Jersey Devils]

Can someone explain to me the emergency call up rules? Wouldn't Cory being out last second qualify as an emergency, and therefore we wouldn't need to send someone to the AHL to make space? Or am I mistaken?

[SteveCangialosi123]

With Mueller back, it may make sense to have Santini in the minors. Greene, Butcher, Moore, and Severson aren’t going anywhere. And Mueller can’t go down without going on waivers, right? Lovejoy as the extra.

You only get so many emergency recalls, so by "sending" Santini down, we can recall appleby and not have to use our emergency recall perhaps

 

[td_ice]

Haha, hilarious gdt!

It really doesn’t. Santini in the AHL for more then a paper transaction is really really stupid.

 

[mtnet]

Still a better stop than we've seen from Kinkaid this year

 

[Emperoreddy]

Kink really needs to step up tonight. Ignore the season stats and just give one good effort.
