GDT: IT'S A BAD TIME, BOB! Your New Jersey Devils (0-2-1) vs. Edmonton Oilers (3-0-0)

[Better Call Sal]

What is it with Bobs and bad timing?

It's been an incredibly disappointing start to the season since around the last minute of the 2nd period of Game 1. The boys look mentally fragile and Hynes doesn't look like he can handle the talent.

Quite frankly, I think along with bad coaching, we have too many peacocks on this team right now

What we really need are some gators

So how's about a fresh start people, huh? Get a W tonight and let the success start rolling

Here's hoping we see Pav and Boqie back in the lineup tonight, and we come out guns blazing!

But for real, don't f*** this up. I have class, I don't get the pleasure of numbing another loss with alcohol.

What's the over under on this game?

 

[Sarge18]

Any thread with the smooth sounds of LRB is a winner in my book.

We are the ones

Who can't get a clear

 

[Edmonton East]

Hall - Nico - Palms
Bratt - Zacha - Gusev/Hughes
Coleman - Zajac - Hughes/Gusev
Wood - Don't Care - Simmonds

That's what I'd try I guess...and I don't even like it much. I want defensive stability down the middle in the top 9 and Zacha helps with that. Feel free to swap Gusev with Bo. I thought Gusev was one of the better players game 1 (and Hughes hurt that line), but he has been brutal the past 2 games.

Eye Of The Tiger was on the radio at the bagel place this morning. Today is the day we rise up to the challenge of our rivals.

For some reason, Bet Brokers have Devils as favorites.

Is this from There Will Be Blood?

Yes. A night of oil and blood.

What are the odds that Gusev is a scratch for Boqvist in this game? I Feel like it's the sort of thing that Hynes would do. Seems like sitting one of his "grinding ahl level 4th liners" for a skill guy hurts his soul some.
