GDT: Preseason game #4 NJ Devils @ NY Isles Sept 20 7PM | W 2-0

[PWJunior]

Looks like this game is going to be on MSG and MSG+ on Optimum.

 

[Bronson]

If Sbisa is making the team, who is Toews going to take a job from?

From Sbisa of course.

Ladd is trending towards the IR because f his back issue. Cal on the other hand will miss a hit and be out for 2 months with either a knee or shoulder injury. Even without those two, there’s still:
Beau-Barzal-Eberle
Bailey-Nelson-Lee (Not a fan of this combo but it seems to be the lock)
JHS-Kovar-Filppila
Leo-Cizikas-Martin
Kuhnhackl
Johnston

That’s 13 guys on one way deals (not counting Tito and Barzal who are on the ELC still but won’t get sent down unless something falls off completely with their game). A lot of forwards still to get through before Bellows gets called up. The plus side is that besides the 18/13/7 line, everything else is basically a question mark when it comes to the forwards.

Make it 12. Ho-Sang will start the season in the AHL. Book it.

That might not be the worst thing. Let him start in the A but tell him to play like a leader and set an example. He'll get plenty of ice time and prove that he doesn't belong if he doesn't become a headcase as a result. Plug Kuhnhackl on the 3rd line in his spot.

 

[MJF]

2 games in at Barclays Center and they are no longer posting the shots on goal on the scoreboard. They should have stopped doing that last year.

 

[BTrotts19]

Devils carrying the play early. Looking slow and having trouble getting out of zone....sounds familiar

 

[MJF]

Sbisa-Boychuk. What could go wrong?

 

[Sparksrus3]

5 minutes in and I have already muted the tv. Butch won't stop talking . Just tirrable
Actually not bad with the Allman Brothers playing while I watch.

 

[Jester9881]

Toews looks good

Mayfield looks bad

 

[steveat]

Nelson is negative value on that line. He will single-handedly destroy Lee's contract year

 

[Jester9881]

Sbisa is making this team. Start trying to accept it now.

Omg I was thingking the same thing. I love the guy but man it’s time to let him go.

 

[steveat]

Greiss is looking better today

 

[bigtim1988]

boneheaded turnover by nelson

 

[Jester9881]

I know he has a lot of fans around here, so I'm going to give Hickey a nickname for when I need to call him out. I'm thinking..... Poopy

How about Shart

7th defenseman with spot starts? Fine. Anything more is a big mistake.

 

[Jester9881]

Bellows really wants to make this team

 

[BTrotts19]

Nelson is negative value on that line. He will single-handedly destroy Lee's contract year

I am counting the days to when he is out of this organization. Be great to turn him into something of value but if there is ever an addition by subtraction, he is it hockey wise

 

[R8Devs]

wrong thread my bad lol

 

[Jester9881]

I'd like to see Kovar center Bailey and Lee and Nelson wearing a different uniform.

 

[steveat]

And Nelson misses a pass for a clear shot at the net..FFS

 

[Jester9881]

Bust

 

[eoin92]

Bellows has a hell of a shot.

 

[steveat]

Nice quick shot..Bellows? Calder run?
