GDT: Devils @ Rangers - 7pm, MSGSN & NHLN

[The Wumpus]

What does Smith have to do to sit a game? Wrong answers only.

Get invited to Fitz's for dinner, accidentally electrocute the cat, knock grandma's urn off the mantle, Use Mrs. Fitz's old wedding dress to put out a fire.

 

[Devils731]

Ugh this is an NHLNetwork game so not on Espn+

Bleh. That means I have to use a stream since Comcast doesn’t offer MSG in my area.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Are we doing the 7 D thing again? Or is Holtz gonna slide in somewhere..

Please have patience with me here . I feel it’s good luck whenever I post something like this in the GDT lol.
Rangers have a dangerous top line with three guys that are very dangerous . Panarin Kreider Zib . Then they have the kid line with Chytil Laf and Kakko . They are struggling yet again this year but they will be playing hard. Kakko trying to show it was legit that at the draft he was as good or better pick than Jack ( lol not even close ) .
Fox is a game breaker and Sheshterkin can steal a game by himself ( not so much this year ) .
They are shit 5on5 but their PP can do damage .
Stay out of the box and we will skate then into the ground .
Go Devils Go !

I think the Devils will still be worn down from the recent schedule so it will be interesting to see if they can finish shifts strong.

Last game they got gassed early in shifts and couldn’t find any extra juice if they had scoring opportunities at the end of shifts.

That'd just be a good veteran move

Need to pepper Igor and get to rebounds.

They got to Buffalo at 2AM Friday and played a back to back. Basically 48 hours of rest since then at puck drop and not a long trip to get to MSG. I’m sure they’ll be fine and explosive.

Didn't they break up the Kid Line? Rangers fans are frustrated but they still have a very good team.

That’s a talented enough line for Holtz to do some stuff. Earn it.

Hah!

Does Boqvist just stand in the middle and pass left and right to load up his cannons?

 

[MasterofGrond]

Good lines, let's go HOLTZ

Moneypuck and the books have us as very slight favorites tonight, which feels right. We're on the road, we've played a bunch lately, and I thinkt he Rangers will come out hard. 538 has us at 38% (LMAO) because they do ELO forecasting, which is trash.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Let's Go Devils!!!...Don't see them not playing Smith against his former team...

 

[RNCDevil]

Kakko I think, has had an unlucky season. Every time I watch him, he's making small, effective plays. He's a strong possession player. If the Rangers ever give up on him, I would not mind him on the Devils.

 

[Oneiro]

Rangers fans have noted that their guys tend to break out later, usually not on the Rangers, hah. I expect the same from Kakko. Maybe not beyond a Nichushkin-level player but I expect him to be the kind of player any team would love to have by age 28.

Laf is a weird one, though. Willing to guess that the development track with a lost season's worth of games and a win-now team must be an obstacle, but it's hard to see much more than a complementary middle six guy.

I am terrified this is one of those games we will outshoot them 50-21 and lose 3-2 or something.

If that is an Anchorman “Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!,” spin-off, you just became my favorite poster!!

Bahl would get similar results, smith isn’t the one driving his results.

I’d rather him sit but it’s not end of the world if he plays.

You think Severson is driving someone's defensive stats?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHa

AAAAAAAHHHHH.

No.

 

[glenwo2]

?

uhh....it's code for "let's go for 3 straight wins" (hence, the "3" selected in the elevator)

Do you get it now?

 

[StevensRocks]

Kakko can’t beat out Vesey

 

[TBF1972]

must win game and i always love to see lias 'skate'

 

[MasterofGrond]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHa

AAAAAAAHHHHH.

No.

Wait, do you actually think Severson is bad?

Even ignoring the past 4 years or so with this team where he's been Actually Pretty Good, the Smith-Severson pairing has been quite strong, so it's either Smith or Sevs driving it.

If you want to go on record saying Brendan Smith is carrying that pairing, you can, I guess.

Tough game situationally with Rags reeling. LGD. Gotta play better than Saturday.

Aside from his first game, has VV given up more than 2 goals?
