GDT: New Jersey Devils @ Detroit Red Wings

[tr83]

we lost two one goal games against one of the NHL's best without 2 of our top 6 on Tuesday and without 3 of our top 6 last night and it's 13 games into the season yet we suk again....this place is the best

Cut him some slack guys, he's new here. I admire his optimism

I know I'm a bit late but I just watched the day in the life video with Sal. He seems like such a genuinely nice guy, and it's a shame his tangibles aren't up to par with the intangibles he brings. Also, maybe part of the problem is what he said in the beginning "I'm such a morning person." That might explain why he's not doing as good, by the time it's game time he's already looking forward to tomorrow morning! Have the games at 7am and he'd be a beast

So if he plays in the KHL, he'll be great. They play all their games at 9am EST

With each loss, Deb will age faster and faster. Kinda like Dorian Gray. By the end of the season, she will be a withered hag.

 

[ajdevjet]

maybe new here but not new to watching this team and this sport, sorry if I try to see the glass half full

Don't even apologize for optimism.

As for tonight:

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I just hope Nyquist and Franzen do all their scoring so I can benefit in fantasy if nothing else.

 

[EliasFTW]

So hockey eh? I`m gonna pass too much bowling and drinking to do.


LGD!

 

[glenwo2]

So grit

Much Tootoo

Such poopoo

Wow

That was hilarious.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

he gives us the best chance to win plain and simple

by that logic no backup goalie would ever start, ever.

Just watch, RG.

Nyquist and Franzen will be held scoreless and the Devils will lose the game anyway.

 

[EliasFTW]

Was really hoping to get Kinky tonight...

 

[Officer Rod Farva]

It's real hard to get excited about this team right now. I can't even blame DeBoer anymore....even though I still want him out.

 

[ajdevjet]

right now cory gives us the best chance to win....even with his average at best numbers

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

right now cory gives us the best chance to win....even with his mediocre stats

did you even read what I said?

using that logic, no back-up goalie would ever start since the "starter" is a better player.

you have to give the starter a night off sometime. we have 5 back to backs this month. let the guy rest.

DeBoer is a passenger now. Not much he can do but look bemused on the bench. This is all Lou's horrid product.

so the starter is the better player even if he's hurt ? what kind of logic is that ? I agree that he needs a night off I just dont think he needs one right now, there is a lot of thread on our goaltender's tires so I say ride him.

Obviously in case of injury the starter can't play. But what you're implying is that as long as the starter is able to, they should play every night as they give the team the best chance to win. With the schedule only getting heavier from this point on Schneider needs to take a rest.

Starting this many games in a row is ridiculous even for a workhorse (which we don't know if Schneider is as he hasn't had this kind of responsibility yet), and the backup needs to get some action. That's the point of the backup goalie, and especially in Kinkaid's situation where he still needs to establish himself as a guy that can come in the odd night and give the team a chance to win.

 

[Bleedred]

Dumbeor is gonna run Schneider into the ground, just like he did to Hedberg in 2013.

The only time Pete has done a great job at handling the goalie situation, was when he rested Marty a lot early in the 11-12 season.

I was all for Cory playing in the other back to back games, but he's really gotta sit one of Monday or Tuesday night.

Even a workhorse like Pekka Rinne has gotten 2 relief starts from Carter Huttton. To play night in and night out with the travel & expecting the necessary focus & physical conditioning to be there is a foolhardy assumption.

I don't understand why the need to play him like he's 1997-2010 Marty.

Lou? I'm out of ideas. This tells me that are beyond desperate. With that said, I think Kinkaid could surprise. At some point, he has to cut his teeth.

 

[Brick City]

From TG:

Head coach Pete DeBoer is scheduied to talk to media at 5:15, so probably will have to wait til then for updates on injured players, lineup.

Until tonight where was the obvious day off for Cory? The schedule's been conducive to him playing every game. There was one back-to-back and that had two days off before and after. If he's still playing every game or close to it this month then it's a problem with a million back to backs.

I agree. Look, if you are planning on him giving him 60+ starts he's going to have 10+ games in a row for certain stretches.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Can't see them keeping it close as with our MASH unit, its a mismatch in virtually every category, espeically skating and hockey skill.

Wings will most likely toy with us tonight.

Kincaid will play fine if they ever give him a chance. debeor is one stubborn mule
