GDT: New Jersey Devils @ Philadelphia Flyers: Toxic

[bobilly45]

Quenneville has been doing well since the call up, Boyle hasn't really done much so his loss won't be as bad.
Still not good news going into a crucial week

 

[Call Me Al]

imagine they stick with hall - hischier - palmieri they've scored 3 goals in the 4 periods they've been together (i hope at least)

then wood - zacha - bratt

no idea about the bottom 6, woof

 

[bobilly45]

Kk appears to be the starter, according to one of our Twitter guys... which really is a no brainer after lack.

He had some good looks in the first game but got hurt in the next game. It sucks cause he didn't get a to get settled in and going before he got hurt.

He might not be showing up on the scoresheet as much, but his faceoff prowess is a significant loss.

Last 10 games:

Philly - 4-6 (1 under 50%)
Detroit - 7-2 (78%)
Boston - 6-9 (40%)
Nashville - 6-2 (75%)
Buffalo - 7-4 (63%)
Philly - 7-4 (63%)
Pitt - 6-3 (67%)
Ott - 13-4 (77%)
Calgary 7-8 (1 under 50%)
Columbus - 7-5 (58%)
Boston - 1-2 (33% before leaving late in the first)

He's usually good for over 50% which is always important and he usually takes important draws for us.

Mueller out, Moore in, Kinkaid gets the start.

 

[R8Devs]

Aside from the turnovers at the beginning of the first period I thought Mueller looked pretty decent last night. Don’t mind him being out for a couple of games or so but I think he’d be fine with Vats in the longrun

I’d just go Greene-Severson
Mueller-Vatanen
Moore-Butcher/Butcher-Lovejoy

 

[Elias2626]

Kinkaid looks tiny in the net. I would've went back with Lack tonight. Also wouldn't mind trading for Aaron Dell.

I hope Shero does what he can (without sacrificing too much of the future) to get this team into the playoffs this year. I don't care if we get swept by Tampa or Washington round 1, I just want these guys (Hall, Hischier, Bratt, Palmieri, Wood) to get some playoff experience. Getting a taste of playoff hockey will motivate them next year - big time.

After the red hot start we had this year, missing the playoffs would be incredibly deflating for the players' mindsets.

Boyle has been a ghost for like a month. I think the team defense has just become too scrambly becuase everyone is trying to do too much. It's easy to say, but they just need to calm down and win those board battles. Koneckny also needs to be watched. He's taken his game to another level.

 

[Call Me Al]

kinkaid in net? we're f***ed

 

[Colin226]

kinkaid in net? we're ****ed

Were we not likely ****ed with one of our other goalies?

 

[RNCDevil]

Goal in the first 3 minutes? Goal 5-hole or goal because Kinkaid cannot move laterally? Who will win thios awful bingo game?

weird, i could've sworn i saw that lack was starting. i could be wrong

 

[R8Devs]

Aside from the 2nd goal I don’t think lack played badly the other night

Kk is 6'2", so he's not exactly short, lack is 6'4", cory is 6' 3"....

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lack 100% earned another start, that ridiculous second goal aside. Hynes is clueless.

Feel bad for Mueller too. Comes back from long term injury, plays well, gets scratched for no reason, then slots in and looks rusty/bad, now he's out again. Completely mismanaged.

 

[New Jersey]

i saw nothing from lack on sunday night that made me go "yeah, he's totally a better option than kinkaid."

someone will proceed to rip my head off on here.

They're interchangeable, Kinkaid likely has the higher upside if he ever gets his shit back together. Neither are good options.

 

[NJDevils17]

Kinkaid is due for a lucky start now. Just the ebb and flow of the game. I would’ve stuck with Lack but that’s like saying I’d rather be stabbed to death than cut up with a chainsaw.

 

[The 29th Pick]

If it wasnt for bad luck.... we wouldnt have no luck at all

 

[EliasFTW]

I'm at years past levels of "No F's given".

 

[JK3]

Haha almost forgot about these till the Devils page posted about it, some updated ones.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Ahahaha the Zacha one got me

 

[liquid1988]

Not sure why we went back to Kinkaid when his confidence is clearly shot to hell. Lack had an Ok game besides the 2 short hander goals (technically one).

 

[Call Me Al]

yeah there were some weird bounces and plays and the second goal was an abortion but lack made the routine saves. i like feeling confident that a goalie can make routine saves and we don't have that tonight
