tank or no tank... we can't get swept in this season series. just win one.

 

[Zippy316]

Score all your goals tonight and forget how to score them for the rest of the year

Some news and notes

 

[John Pedro]

Blandisi has looked good at C so of course Hynes is shifting him back to the wing and bringing ghost uncle Rico to the middle. This coach is so clueless. Don't even get me started on this first PP unit...

If not for Prout being a healthy scratch, I'd say he's taking for sure.

 

[Devils Dominion]

A good amount of tix available on ticketmaster for tonight.

I don't think it'll make much of a difference.

That line seems to work well together and Henrique seems to be deferring to Blandisi/Bennett to do the dirty work which is where he succeeds. Henrique plays the floater role exceptionally well which is what Blandisi/Bennett need.

Even when Blandisi was "center" Henrique was taking face-offs at times.

Last game we made Clandening look like Bobby Orr and I never heard of the guy. I hope we do a better job tonight.

 

[SansaStark]

can i sigh in advance for the obligatory zuccarello to kreider goal off the cycle...?

 

[Burner Account]

Could not pay me to go to this game.

 

[ScottyK]

This has the potential to be horrifying

he was a highly touted D prospect while I was at BU with him. so at least he wasn't always a scrub

 

[Satans Hockey]

I'll be there as usual, I expect the crowd ratio to be awful, if not one of the worst ones in the longest time. I'm fully prepared to be disappointed by my fellow season ticket holders tonight.

**** the Rangers. LETS GO DEVILS!!!

I'm going but more or less only to make sure another Rangers fan isn't going, I have zero motivation to really be at this game other than maybe seeing a few people at the arena. It'd be one thing if we could play legit spoiler to them but it's actually better for them to stay in the 4 seed anyway. So hopefully the kids play well at least.

I know he's hurt now anyway but has Lundqvist played even one game against us this year?

He literally said he is keeping Blandisi at Center for tonight...

Not STH here but we go to around 10-12 games per year. Plus saw them play at WFC in philly a few times this season and last.

Problem is we can only get to weekend games due to work commute and living so far down south. We were at that last game vs. NYR and though Devs fans were definitely louder and slightly more numerous, the amount of rags fans was staggering.

I suspect you're right about tonight though, probably will be outnumbered.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Just don't embarrass us, Devils. I hope I set the bar low enough there...

 

[The Wumpus]

If we win one game the rest of the season...

I know the Rangers got him in a trade with Avs. And he sure looked great the last time we played them. I guess this year's Devils just have that effect on some players.

Errrrr...we got Holden in a trade with the Avs. Clendening was signed as a FA.

 

[mtnet]

Can't be worse than the 5-0 shutout last December, now THAT was embarrassing.

 

[MadDevil]

Was Quenneville on the PP last game?
