This is a good chance to take advantage of another team's early struggles and get that first win. I'm going tonight and I've never been to a home opener before so I am extra excited.

 

[njdevil26]

You should put Fowler in a red and black jersey hehe.

Anywa... SO PUMPED for tonight!

Showcasing Boucher for Anaheim

In all honesty, I hope that by games end, Boucher supplants DSP on that third line and the lines look like:

Boucher - Zacha - Bennett
Josefson - Fiddler - DSP

 

[Better Call Sal]

Here's hoping for some more Fiddler PK magic tonight

All seriousness, enjoy the game those that are going, I'm envious and want to be there. Should be a good one!

LGD!

 

[JimEIV]

Thank you for this GDT. It looks like a real GDT for once

Thanks, mine usually look like this though haha. I usually add our players stats but not much to go on there. I used to put the stats for PP, PK. SF and SA but cant find my template for it, good to see some of that info.

LGD!

We really need a win here to get things going.

Fiddler is the best. Definitely feeling the Vern.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Pumped for tonight, should be a good one! Ducks are kind of struggling but they have talent on their roster, sooner or later they're due for a big game. Fingers crossed it's not tonight.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Let's get our first win before everyone on this board contemplates suicide, including yours truly.

In all honesty, I hope that by games end, Boucher supplants DSP on that third line and the lines look like:

Boucher - Zacha - Bennett
Josefson - Fiddler - DSP

On the main board their offering us a 3rd rounder for taking Bernier off their hands.

 

[mtnet]

Left work early and on train home now...then headed up north for the home opener! Been dealing with a bad cold and feeling kinda meh but I'm getting excited for game time now.

 

[Satans Hockey]

So apparently those posters aren't giveaways, they are charging 5 bucks a poster..... They need to have some talks with the Red Bulls who give out free posters just like this every single game.*

I texted my wife that artwork photo and she said "I bet #16 misses the shot on that duck"

Showcasing Boucher for Anaheim

In all honesty, I hope that by games end, Boucher supplants DSP on that third line and the lines look like:

Boucher - Zacha - Bennett
Josefson - Fiddler - DSP

I think Boucher on fourth line makes sense to get him to pay attention to his positioning and back checking while at the same time forming a line that can create some energy and chances and change the tempo. Both a shut down line with Fiddler but if you put Boucher on it you've also got one that can give you some jump offensively. He can finish where JJ does not.

In general I like the line structure for tonight.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Holy ****, didn't see Josefson fly in there the first time. That's great

 

[JK3]

I texted my wife that artwork photo and she said "I bet #16 misses the shot on that duck"

Haha. That's not the real poster, I added the shotguns and took away those stupid nets they had.

 

[BadFella]

LGD! Shoot the pucks and hunt the ducks.

 

[JimEIV]

Bottom 6 is so weird. It looks contrived...the fact that you have a LW AND a RW playing off side on two different lines makes it even more peculiar.

Common sense would seem to dictated

15-37-8
16-38-25

It is all just so bizarre and another one of those very strange Hynes decisions.

And the Red Bulls still average 6,000 less people at their games than City FC despite being around for 20 years as opposed to two.

I like what the Devs are doing, and $5 is a reasonable price.

 

[BadFella]

There's certainly a joke somewhere about DSP's jersey being a different color than the others but I don't want to offend anyone.

Spoken just like a Rangers fan *****ing about our attendance.

And if the Red Bulls can afford to give away posters every game so can the Devils.

Love this gameday podcast idea, should be good for the commute home

Rags are an Original Six and they play on top of Penn Station. The real Penn Station, not our little Penn Station. Not fair to compare them to us, in terms of attendance. City beating the Red Bulls née MetroStars is much more telling.
