So we blew another lead again? This seems familiar...

Are we sad that we keep repeating the same game over and over?

Well its now time for a change. The groundhog is running the show!

Lead Cory and the guys to his homecoming in Vancouver brave groundhog!!!

No way we blow another lead!

...but if we do...

Go Groundho...I mean Devils!!!!

Now let's intensify

Great job! LOVE this GDT and Groundhog Day!

Do not love the prospect of this game being Groundhog Day-esque though.

 

[Zombotron]

Hi Jersey! Hi Cory! Love you! Let's enjoy a good hockey game tonight!

 

[CerebralGenesis]

Lol when harrold plays

 

[Devils1029]

I hate 10pm games!!! Might be able to make it to the second period but my but will be dragging tomorrow. Sux getting up at 5:30am. Hope we have a 5-0 lead by the 2nd - that lead "just might" be safe.

With Bernier and now Harrold back in the lineup, us blowing leads again, fans calling for Deboer's head, being out of playoff position, Lou doing nothing, and the team being lead in points by old man Jagr, this really has become Groundhog Day! All we need is Larsson back in the doghouse and to lose another shoot out.

So what scrub will Lou trade Josefson for at the deadline?

With the storm coming in, I'm probably working from home tomorrow so I can be groggy and still get by!! Should be a fun start to the holiday weekend

I hate 10pm games too. 10pm = 5am in here when the game starts. Kinda hard to watch the NHL when the games start so late.

Also more like Groundhog Year with blowing the leads and everything. Last year we had the shootouts, this year we have the 50 minute games.

Top 3 GDT of the year so far. Excellent!

Didn't want to start a thread:

Can anyone suggest where in Midtown Manhattan to catch the Devils/Canucks game at a bar? It felt like I was speaking French last game in Brooklyn asking for the Hawks/Canucks.

Quick yelp shows Jimmy's on W44.

The Flying Puck is a dedicated hockey bar and will definitely put the Devils game on for you, especially since the Rangers aren't playing tonight.

Also, if you have an iPhone, download the "Sports Bar Finder" app from DirecTV and filter for Center Ice. That's what I do when I travel, though I also call ahead since some place show up as having Center Ice but then claim they don't.

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

prediction-

Petey Jr. will play and play more than Larsson

 

[wellonegm05*]

Yup, as I said last week, it was only a matter of time before Peter Harrold ends up back in the line up. At the expense of our kids. What an absolute disgrace. I'm not even going to bother calling people out by name, but its funny when even the most ardent DeBoer supporters downplayed bringing Harrold on this trip as only an "insurance policy in case anyone gets hurts". Yea, ok. What an embarrassment.

 

[slammer]

amazing GDT!

Line combinations & defense pairs same at Devils' morning skate as in Monday's practice. Tootoo, Brunner, Gelinas are the extra healthy guys


yep, Harrold is in

 

[glenwo2]

So Gelinas is getting his rear-end benched for Harrold.

Most of us knew Harrold was gonna get in. Pete just can't help it.

He'll prob get PP1 time too

 

[Khione]

Great GDT!

Win-or fire Deboer. Win-win.

Now pete has all his pets in the line-up.

Gio, bernier and harrold. I expect a 6-0 win for the devils because deboer is a superduper coach and knows exactly what he is doing. The harrold's, bernier's and Gionta's of the world will lead us to victory!

 

[OmNomNom]

to be fair, gio and bernier are solid 4th liners, esp bernie post AHL. it's more of a matter of how they're utilized

 

[Hypernova]

Can't wait to watch Harrold get rag-dolled all night. My guess is he falls down 4 times.
