GDT: Devils vs. Lightning - Halloween Edition 7:00PM MSG+

[Cult of Hynes]

I'm already getting sick of Hynes' bs.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I mean, I get it, you don't want to throw a guy to the wolves. We've seen prospects be ruined by giving them too much to quickly.

But Zacha has conquered everything that's been thrown at him so far. It's not like he's just getting by, he's excelled. if there's anyone that's earned more time it's him.

That being said it is still absurdly early in the season. It's not even Halloween yet. If it's January and Zacha/Auvitu are still getting weak minutes then I'll be upset.

I didn't watch last nights game but I read here that Zacha played really well. I don't know if he was with Hall for the majority of the game however. If he was, then I don't get this move at all. Sure you don't want to burn him out but this hypothetical that he'll be helping us out near the end of the year to push for a playoffs only works if we're close enough to the playoffs... And for some reason I feel like switching up the top line that has played really well the past few games isn't the best way to go about that.

He wasn't. They had one shift together where Zacha set him up, not much else.

I was nice to see Zacha being more individually assertive, though. Took more shots, went to the net.

It doesn't really make sense to me, either.

 

[The Wumpus]

Zacha is a teenager. He's not going to be going toe-to-toe with the best centers in the world every night just yet.

Not thrilled with the constant bingo balling by Hynes so far this season.

PAP moved up to halls line , Palms on ricos. not a big fan of PAP and zajac with hall. that little experiment didn't work last time. just not fast enough to keep up. Hall needs at least one other fast player on his line imo

 

[mtnet]

Just sat down at the game

Let's Go Devils!

There is only one answer, and it is Pavel Zacha. Literally the only time in last night's game that they played together, which was for around 10 seconds, Zacha set up Hall, and I am pretty sure he hit the post. At this point we have given Zajac enough chances with Hall, and pretty obviously didn't work out. If anything just put Rico back on his line and try that out for one more game. I mean at this point, I am not even sure Hynes watches the games anymore, when we already tried all 3 of these lines out, and I'm pretty certain they didn't work. I am all for Hynes testing out different lines, but I don't think we should be resorting to old ones that already sucked

The thing is Zajac is playing excellent so far this season, but he just isn't a good fit for Hall, while Zacha and Hall have been dynamic every time they have played together.

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah

I'm not sure why the need to switch around the top two lines

But at least the answer wasn't JJ back in or some **** like Kalinin with Zajac to shut down top lines.

That use to annoy the **** out of me last year. It also led to a 4 game even strength goal drought.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Zajac is the GOAT

 

[Emperoreddy]

Agggg Dano with the puns.

 

[Emperoreddy]

One day will win 6 in a row. Someday.

 

[Blender]

[Emperoreddy]

Attaboy

 

[RememberTheName]

[Richer's Ghost]

Rico - trick or treat!

 

[Emperoreddy]

Jesus stop yelling Dano.

 

[Bleedred]

Win a game where we score first this season, for once please!

 

[JimEIV]

Severson primary assist.

 

[EliasFTW]

[Bleedred]

Goal horn is WAYYYYY louder on the away team's broadcast.

 

[Devils090]

Quincey with these penalties

 

[JK3]

Ahh crap missed it, yay Rico.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Get Quincey the hell out of here already.
