Assuming the coaches want him with Zajac. You’re original post was wondering why Bratt remained in the top 6 and not Wood. There is a top 6 RW spot and Wood can’t play there.

Do ALL FANS get a replica mini banner (a la Brodeur night)... or is there some b.s. first 9000 fans only? I can't find any info on newjerseydevils.com

I don't understand the confusion about the times for tonight. It's all over the Devils website, the separate Patty's Night site and the Devils Twitter.

Win. Just win. Probably the last game before we get Schneider back. Again, just win
Never mind, found it on the promotions page:
Elias Mini Banner
Celebrate as the Devils honor Patrik Elias and raise his #26 to the rafters. All fans in attendance will receive a replica Elias number retirement mini banner.

I have a feeling someone's going to have a huge game tonight and that person may be Taylor Hall

I’ll never forget when they opened the Rock and gave out a commorative poster of the arena and decided to just leave boxes of them laying at the exits for fans to “take one” instead of having people handing them out.

Nope, still embarassed
The only place where Ben Lovejoy would get a banner is on the dart board in the bar across the street

For those of you who are not old enough to have seen Elias in his prime, and it is many, he was even a better player than his stats show. He was often the best defensive forward on the ice and was used as such on many an occasion. If you saw him play everyday you could really appreciate his overall talent. He deserves to be in the HOF
Show me another guy with his numbers and two cups that's not in the HOF. If he was a Ranger there'd be a statue of him in front of MSG.

Dano's retirement night wasn't a sellout iirc. No disrespect to him he's been Mr. Devil and I believe continuously employed by the team in some capacity for like 36 years, but I always thought his status as beloved was a bit overrated. Nieds, Stevens, Brodeur was all sellouts. Expect Patty to be a 17,600 sellout as well.

Why do that if Grabner said he likes LW?
Hall-Grabner-Wood-Coleman are the LWs in that order, Gibbons plays 4th RW behind Bratt-Palmieri-Noesen

Yeah it only gets tricky IF both Gibbons and MarJo come back and then you're suddenly looking at Wood on the fourth line even though he's earned his way off it...but he's produced out of the fourth line this year so it's not a big deal for a short stint. Or you just move Grabner back to RW at that point.

yeah but who comes out then?
Ill be honest Coleman gets the boot for me if Johansson comes back, Noesen earned his spot and Gibbons is better on the PK

Corsi is GROSSLY overrated
I dont understand why Wood is on the 4th line, can anyone rationalize that? Punishment for repeated dumb penalties?

because the 4th line is struggling a lot lately and Wood can help that line out a bit because he does a lot by himself.

Wood is at his best when his energy is highest and his offense is basically the same no matter how poor or good his linemates are.
So excited for tonight's game. It'll be the last time I wear my Elias Jersey I got when I was a kid. It's autographed and I'm hanging it on my wall after tonight.
Good thing my parents were smart enough to get me an adult large. I was swimming in it as a kid, but I can still wear it now and have been able to for over 15 years

Agreed. And on the 4th line he may get some opportunities to burn past some beleaguered Islander 3rd pairing guys
