GDT: New Jersey Devils vs. Philadelphia Flyers: More Special Sauce? Yup!

[Devils Trap]

we should just switch Zajac to defense

You cant just do that. Making a transition from forward to D is very difficult

 

[Just Win]

Emery is starting?

 

[Devils Trap]

Mason is soo much better then Emery.

This is great. They have a less mobile D then we do and a terrible G

 

[Bleedred]

Emery IS the WORST goalie in the league. No excuse not to score a few goals on him tonight. Sieve Mason has actually been pretty good this year. Emery is the same weak goaltender he's been post 07 SCF. He lets in weak deflating goals, and has the reflexes of an elephant.

 

[R8Devs]

It would look so bad if the Devils lose tonight

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Better not underestimate this team. This game is gonna be close. Hell, they have the same amount of regulation wins as the Devils.

not for Zajac, he's amazing defensively or whatever

 

[SeidoN]

center's better than Zajac (limited list)

ANA - Getzlaf - 19th 2003
BOS - Bergeron - 45th 2003
CAR - Staal - 2nd 2003
CHI - Toews - 3rd 2006
COL - Duchene - 3rd 2009
DAL - Seguin - 2nd 2010
EDM - RNH - 1st 2011
FLA - Huberdeau - 3rd 2011 (may play wing now?)
LAK - Kopitar - 11th 2005
MIN - Koivu - 6th 2001
NYI - Tavares - 1st 2009
OTT - Spezza - 2nd 2001
PHI - Giroux - 22nd 2006
PIT - Crosby - 1st 2005
TBL - Stamkos - 1st 2008
TOR - Kadri - 7th 2009
VAN - Sedin - 3rd 1999
WSH - Backstrom - 4th 2006

just about every team in the league with a 1C better than Zajac was a Top-3 draft pick, or at least top-10. Now compare to centermen across the league taken 15+, mostly 2-3C on decent teams. If the Devils ever sucked hard enough to take a Center that high then maybe today its a different story. Zajac has fallen into a job he doesnt have the skill for and its influencing peoples expectations of him.

my 2 cents anyway, im sure there will be plenty of posters willing to take this apart lol

 

[Devils Trap]

not for Zajac, he's amazing defensively or whatever

That doesnt matter. You cant just move him to D because he is good defensively. And if you dont understand that then I dont know what to tell you

 

[Devils Trap]

Tedenby is out for warm-ups

Elias isnt there....

 

[Devilsfanatic0421]

Make that no Clowe, Sal, Zajac or Elias.

 

[SeidoN]

its like saying Subban and Karlsson should be forwards. but anyway

Go Devils I guess, i'll be the positive one

 

[SeidoN]

no Elias? well, thats a shame. that line was working niiiice

 

[Devils Trap]

Zubrus with Lokti and Jagr
Henrique with Tedenby and Ryder
CBGB
Josefson Brunner and Olesz together

 

[Just Win]

Tedenby is out for warm-ups

Elias isnt there....

Oh boy.....

 

[Bleedred]

What's wrong with Elias now?

If we lose to POS beer league Emery this team needs to be demoted to Albany. Even with the depleted lineup we have we should still be able to win.

 

[Jossipov]

Emery is starting?

Lol, seriously?

 

[Uli Hiemer]

No Elias?

What the hell happened now?

 

[R8Devs]

lol Pete is def going to play CGCB more than the Brunner line

 

[SeidoN]

No Elias?

What the hell happened now?

didnt see the point in turning up to an AHL opponent

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Can you try to embarrass Emery today?

kthxbai

 

[Jossipov]

This is like a preseason game.

 

[Devils Trap]

Can you try to embarrass Emery today?

kthxbai
