GDT: Devils vs Jets - Season Opener!!! 7:00 PM

[JimEIV]

is boqvist seriously going to be a healthy scratch?

Think I called it a few weeks ago and people went nutty.

In fact I think I got the foward lines exactly correct during that Hayden, Boqvist, Simmonds and Wood discussion.

It's going to be tough for him to get into the lineup with Hall, Gusev, Coleman holding those top 3 three LW spots.

Edit:. But I am sure as soon as we lose a game they'll make an irrational rotation.

 

[Saugus]

I'm excited for tonight! My brother and I will be in 229.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

The day has arrived. I'll be in section 22 (I think? I have no idea lol). Can't wait!

Edit: yep, section 22.

Section 2 for me! Got upgraded tickets for the opener.

 

[OmNomNom]

section 113, row 1 here

 

[captainscott]

here we go...and also with you

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Boqvist isn't playing

lol.

 

[TrufleShufle]

I'm more interested to see the reaction to the placement of the "2nd" and "3rd" lines than the absence of Boqvist.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Boqvist being scratched was telegraphed all week with how he was rotating in with the top line. I bet he plays tomorrow though.

My hype is still off the charts.

 

[MNDevilsfan]

Not too bothered by Boqvist not playing tonight, because I am sure he'll get in games sooner rather than later.

Greene with Subban though? I don't know about that.

oh i remember quite well. i was told by one guy that not only was boqvist a lock to play, he was a lock to be on the 2nd PP unit. when i saw that, i laughed so hard i piddled the carpet some.

who would people rather have as a healthy scratch? boqvist or seney/anderson/bastian/mcleod/etc?

 

[New Jersey]

I'm excited for tonight! My brother and I will be in 229.

Will there be a Wild Saugus sighting at Section 225?

 

[Blender]

Winnipeg is aheavy team. Hardly surprised they are starting Hayden over Boqvist, they are expecting to grind it out.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Sitting Boqvist for Hayden is hilarious. Even on his best day, what exactly is Hayden's added value?

 

[Nocashstyle]

Going to be a longgggggg work day

hayden brings an element that few other guys do. boqvist brings an element we already have a lot of. i have no complaints with hayden on the 4th line

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

Gusev-Hughes-Bratt should feast against lower lines.

 

[Call Me Al]

yeah the added value is physicality - against a physical team. this shouldn't surprise anyone. it's a long season, boqvist is going to play plenty

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Just like Hynes to find a way to try to put a damper on an opening night after our best offseason ever

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Hayden’s element:

 

[Nocashstyle]

The best news is: if the Devils poop the bed tonight, we only get to panic and argue for about 21 hours before the next game.

 

[Auto Pilot]

I'm more interested to see the reaction to the placement of the "2nd" and "3rd" lines than the absence of Boqvist.

To Hayden over Boqvist and Greene on the top pair.

Hynes gonna Hynes.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

You'll never convince me that not playing your best players is the ideal lineup, sorry.

 

[hockey20000]

from watching the jets vs rangers last night. it was almost a playoff game in effort and in shots, The jets still looked big , heavy, and can score..they doubled up on laine. the Queen won the mvp of that game. Kakko off the score sheet was nice (although when he got the puck i think he was doubled as well). Lets go for young smaller, rebuilt teams!

jets looked good especially there top 2 lines.. hellesuck was terrible in net though lol.

I forgive you.

I was advocating for Bastian over Hayden on the 4th RW spot but I knew it wasn't going to happen. I don't think Hayden should be in the lineup personally.

Edit: watch him score tonight now I that I said that. For his 9th goal of his career.
