GDT: Devils vs. Avalanche - WWE Night - 7:00 PM MSG+

[Billdo]

Not about Q. The idea of Stafford

It is entirely about Q. What has he done to deserve staying in the lineup?

 

[AfroThunder396]

JQ has been completely outplayed by JSD. He's certainly the first one to sit when Bratt comes back.

I like JQ but I'm not sure he has a place on this team. I think he might get Matteau'd or Gelinas'd in a few months.

 

[BomaLightDevils]

I’m sure someone will like he’s last name and give up a 3rd pick for him

Great, now I won't be able to unsee Palmieri as Kyle O'Reilly. Kinda bummed, I would have visited for vacation and taken in tonight's game but I canceled it to take my extended family to Vegas last week (which was a complete waste of time since they refused to do anything when we got there).



As on a Kyle O'Reilly related note, I stumbled on this video last year and thought that rink looked familiar. Friends and I used to go to a ball hockey tournament every year at that rink in Vegas. Just bought tickets for NXT Takeover next month in LA.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Stafford scores at least one goal tonight. Heard it here first.

 

[Cheddabombs]

If it ain't broke, break it, right?

I kid I kid, don't mind Stafford drawing in. JQ hasn't done much and Zacha/Stafford did have some success last year. Either way, they're just a place holder until Bratt is back.

 

[NjDevs4994]

What’s the latest timetable on Bratt? About another week?

 

[New Jersey]

What’s the latest timetable on Bratt? About another week?

yeah give or take.

he's skating on his own again starting today.

 

[Emperoreddy]

What’s the latest timetable on Bratt? About another week?

Or two. He started skating by himself today I think. They might give him a week before he can start heavier contract.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Hoping for at least a point tonight. Really hope the PP scores more than 1 goal if they get more than one chance.

Maybe Hischier and or Hall will pot a goal tonight and Zacha will get a point or two as well.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Stafford scores at least one goal tonight. Heard it here first.

Kyle O'Reilly may become a meme of his own.

Look. I can’t be the only one in here acknowledging the fact that we’re 4-0 and there’s absolutely no reason to make a lineup change. If jq was throwing away games or making plays that lead directly to goals agaisnt fine. But he hasn’t really made many mistakes. I just don’t see a need for change

Based on that logic, I'm sure you're entirely content that Ben Lovejoy is still in the lineup, yes?

You're not answering the question...

 

[New Jersey]

we're dying to find a reason to criticize hynes after behind the glass and the 4-0 start

 

[zharkenby]

I started off by saying he’s an excellent coach. I just think Stafford being in makes us a worse team.

 

[Devils090]

JQ has done nothing to suggest he’s a regular, Stafford playing over him is completely warranted

 

[zharkenby]

You're not answering the question...

What did you even ask again? I just hate the idea of putting someone just as useless exceptnolder and slower in the lineup. Guess I’m crazy

 

[New Jersey]

i really think the actual *difference* is negligible, but that's just me.

it'll be relative when bratt comes back.

You don’t see the potential upside in swapping in a player fighting for his career, for a player that has been the most invisible player on the team for the first four games?

With how JQ has played, there’s no risk here. At worst, Stafford is just as invisible as Q has been.

This really isn’t a big deal. Relax...

 

[New Jersey]

if stafford scores a goal tonight this place is gonna break

 

[Better Call Sal]

I'll just be sitting in class waiting, so I can use this reaction gif.

What has Q done to deserve not being taken out?

 

[devilsblood]

I like JQ but I'm not sure he has a place on this team. I think he might get Matteau'd or Gelinas'd in a few months.

Little unfair given JSD is our 2nd leading goal scorer.

But yeah, Q is the obvious first man out. And he can still go to the AHL.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

JQ could use a rest, just that we got a bit slower, which I don’t like.
