GDT: Spidey Says "STOP YOUR F***ING CRYING!" - Devils @ Predators, 8 PM, MSG+

[Better Call Sal]

Sack up you bellyachers, we've got games to win!

We haven't had games like this matter in quite a bit of time. At the same time, we'll be missing the likes of Trav Trav and Pav Pav.

But our guys have conquered adversity all year long, no matter what anyone tells you. And it's largely because of one guy.

We've got 14 games left. Join the bandwagon or jump off. But we'll be with this team until the end.

LGD!!

Need some guys to step up tonight, including our goalie.

 

[SeidoN]

 

[Ripshot 43]

The one thing I’m confident in is that our center depth and quality matches up wonderfully with Nashville’s.

 

[The 29th Pick]

did we do a Groundhogs Day GDT already? because I feel like we've been in this situation before

 

[markog]

And their top defenseman is out based on this line-up.

I forgot about Fisher coming back till I saw the lineups above lol, their fourth center is better than our #2.

 

[Ripshot 43]

And their top defenseman is out based on this line-up.

When their top D is out and PK Subban is still playing on the second pairing .

I love Nashville... but not tonight

 

[Ripshot 43]

I forgot about Fisher too till I saw the lineups above lol, their fourth center is better than our #2.

Their team is built near perfectly for my vision. Have no idea how they do it salary cap wise (assuming its a lot of wingers on low deals) but this is the year to go for it for them. Them and Tampa and I’d lean towards them as front runners for it all.

When you have 3, maybe 4 top pairing defensemen on your team...

 

[Bologna 1]

Yep, should be a good time watching this one..........

 

[njdevils1982]

sign patty!

 

[Bologna 1]

Seems like the most sensible lineup is 11+7?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

no

 

[MadDevil]

Seems like the most sensible lineup is 11+7?

Unless you want Stafford or Hayes back in the lineup.

 

[NJDevs26]

When the options are 11-7 or randomly stick Jimmy Hayes in the middle as the 12th forward it's actually not that outrageous to go 11-7, I could see an 11-7 for this game unless they emergency recall someone to play C.

Of course whatever lineup they throw out there you wonder how they get 60 minutes out of their centers if they only dress three...Nico for 22 minutes maybe, Coleman 18-20 and Boyle 15-17? And if they dress four it will be more like Nico 20-21, Coleman 17-18, Boyle 14-16 and Hayes/fourth C 7-10

 

[RSeen]

And their top defenseman is out based on this line-up.

Subban is in. I know your referring to Josi, but Subban is without a doubt their best Dman and IMO a top 4-5 Dman in the league.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Reminds me and always has of our 95 and 00 Cup teams D

They'll probably just throw Gibbons at center on the fourth line and double shift Hall with him and Wood.

 

[AfroThunder396]

pls win

 

[NJDevs26]

They'll probably just throw Gibbons at center on the fourth line and double shift Hall with him and Wood.

If Gibbons can play C then just stick him on the second line and leave Boyle/Coleman where they belong in the bottom six

 

[Blender]

Put Bratt at centre, guy is 63.6% in faceoffs.

 

[StvBroDan]

Oh the crying has only just become MadDog LGD!!!

 

[None Shall Pass]

We've done fairly well 11-7 this year, fwiw
