GDT: Devils vs. Jets - Most Extreme Hockey Challenge! 7:00 PM MSG+

[Blender]

In order to "fix" the lines he also broke up the only pairing that was working well, Coleman and Zajac.

 

[RSeen]

Gradually moving the training wheels off in a sense. If he struggles without playing along side a guy like Hall or even Palmieri for that matter, then there is some concern to be had.

If he is ready enough or talented enough, he shouldn't need to lean on other guys in order to produce or be himself.

I very much agree with this. If he is going to become a legitimate #1 center that can drive his own line, having him away from Hall COULD be an option to be implemented for a majority of games. Having that option is important and we need to find out if it is a plausible one.

 

[liquid1988]

Are you guys ready?

starting to become numb again to the losses like 16-17. Well see if a few wins in a row can change that. LGD...please?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I have no problem splitting up the top line, but Hynes did it wrong. Shouldn't have split up Hischier and Hall. Should have just flipped Johansson and Palmieri.

Sitting Mueller is a whole other issue. Hynes really out of his depth right now.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Don’t love the lines but they needed a big shakeup with how they have performed lately.

 

[JimEIV]

Yay new defenseman! Always love first games but first Dman games are extra special.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Ugh, don’t mind Travis taking the 1C spot but Palms and Hall DO NOT WORK TOGETHER at even strength. Should have went with this:

9 19 63
90 13 21

 

[Better Call Sal]

Trav has been one of our only players showing consistency so I’m completely fine with him getting a bump up.

Coleman is fine on his line because he always plays hard and will hopefully get something out of the young guys.

 

[JimEIV]

5 tool player? First I've heard that.

 

[liquid1988]

Boooo i wanted Chico to fill in for tonight. Im sure Sally will still be an improvement over Dano either way

 

[Bleedred]

For some reason this year, I'm able to watch the games on NHLN on both center ice feeds.

They used to be blacked out for me and I'd have to watch it on whatever feed NHLN was showing.

I'm not complaining. I'd rather watch Steve and Sal than the Jets or TSN guys.

 

[JimEIV]

Nevermind

In order to "fix" the lines he also broke up the only pairing that was working well, Coleman and Zajac.

In his defense, there is no way to significantly shake up the lines without moving Nico off the top line, and with Zacha in Bingo, there is no other option to put on the top line aside from Zajac.

 

[JimEIV]

Butcher just pushed it in a few inches? What is going on here tonight?

 

[AfroThunder396]

Erika is very unpolished, but I think once she settles in and gets more comfortable that she'll be very good

 

[devilsblood]

Nevermind

I saw that.

 

[Cheddabombs]

this brotherhood is starting to sound like a cult

Like Mueller?

I wouldn't say very unpolished. Maybe lacking in Devils nuance. But she delivers the message pretty smoothly.

 

[liquid1988]

Cult of carelessness. Prove me wrong with some fight this game

 

[MauDevils]

I heard from somewhere that they had a pretty good group of guys.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Will Yak give stick rubs in the blue paint or will he touch the opposition and violate the Charmin soft mantra? Inquiring minds want to know...

 

[bobilly45]

[devilsblood]
