GDT: Game 5 ECQF New Jersey Devils @ Tampa Bay Lightning 3 PM - NBC (TV), OJN (radio)

[Billdo]

Hopefully we don’t go to the bathroom in a diner as a team

 

[NJDevs26]

They had a viewing party for Game 1 of the Florida series in 2012 at least. Don't remember all of the other ones specifically but they had plenty that year, I went to that and the Game 2 one for the Ranger series. Didn't feel like going today though after already going to Newark for the home games and hopefully going for Game 6

Favorite current wrestler, along with dolph

If NJ skates with passion they can win even without Vats. They need that high energy effort. Don’t think about anything but the next shift and play physically. TB are soft front runners.

How is there no lineup less than three hours before gametime??​

 

[Edmonton East]

Loving the optimism, but I don't see how anyone could have watched last game post Vats injury and still think they have a shot today...

Especially with Sevs having to take on extended minutes.

 

[Cheddabombs]

guessing Hynes hasn't met with the media yet

and even when he does I expect him to be tight lipped

STOLEN WORK CALL THE GDT POLICE

Hynes usually doesn’t speak until 2 hours-2 hours 15 minutes before game time, but in keeping with tradition of this series, I doubt he reveals his lineup until gametume.

 

[NJDevs26]

Plus Mueller for Vatanen's pretty obvious at this point...doubt they're changing much up front unless Stafford goes out.

After months of persistent lurking since the Vats trade, I will finally come out loud and proud to climb onboard the Devils Playoffs Bandwagon. You are blessed with a Roadrunner of a team that is exciting to watch, well occasionally for the wrong reasons but you’re headed in the right direction and will only get better with time which cannot be said for certain Cali teams.

So godspeed to Ducks East, my new official favorite east of Mississippi. A result in Tampa will put the fear of failure in Lightnings’ heads, and from that point forward anything is possible. LGD!

Oh and while I’m tempted to predict a LJ hattie, I will settle for the boring alternative vision of Maroon finally finding the net from up close and personal, and another strong Noesen showing. Called it, be my guest.

Edit: oops getting directions mixed up, nvm fixed it now

 

[MachoDiablo]

The day may come when Taylor's moves fail us, when Cory's injury prevents his full return to glory.

But it is not this day.

An hour of shoddy special teams, when we forsake the bonds of halfway decent penalty killing.

But it is not this day!

 

[Cheddabombs]

no Vatanen, Mueller in

good luck boys lol

 

[NJDevils17]

Vatanen’s loss hurts a lot from a puck moving perspective as well. Was good on the breakouts all year.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

no Vatanen, Mueller in

good luck boys lol

Well it was a fun season.

 

[NJDevs26]

Oh joy...hope this 'gametime decision' isn't Palms after his late-game shot block the other night.

You could always just please yourself.

 

[BalticDevil]

Don't let it end tonight!
No matter how you do it!

 

[Darkauron]

Trent hunter is in tonight for wood.

 

[Comparison Ford]

please put Bratt in

 

[Maine Fan]

Devils, I am proud you got this far.

Today of course is a very tough game. TB wants to close it out at home. As of now, Vatanen is out.

Devils need to control themselves and stop fighting, no penalties. Devils need to be much stronger on the boards slow TB down. Devils just need to think before passing and not over think. Tough task but can be done.

Go Devils.

first brew cracked, let's get it
