GDT: The Power of Goldblum: Your New Jersey Devils @ Philadelphia Flyers, 1 PM, MSG+

[JimEIV]

I predict that Coleman will look good with the increased responsibility, and that Santini will be mediocre but not great in the Lovejoy role.

Santini is going to have to be one of the top 4 PKers with Lovejoy out I would think. But if Santini looks mediocre in his first nhl game in nearly a year, I would call it good.

If those are the real lineups, I don't know why Zacha and MoJo wouldn't stay together. Zacha needs to play with creative players. I am excited to see Santini play though. This is a good opportunity for him to prove that he can be slightly less forgettable than Lovejoy

 

[MartyOwns]

Seriously? Your Jeff Goldblum impression made me pee my pants

 

[AfroThunder396]

I hope our special teams come through. We've been getting a lot of power plays and not really capitalizing as much as we need to.

If you don't punish teams for taking penalties against you then they'll start to take liberties. That's what happened in 2010 against the Flyers, they knew we couldn't make them pay so they totally abused us and we couldn't do anything to stop them.

Definitely gonna be a trip. That pair has all kinds of potential to be disastrous.

Pointing Man FTW!

 

[Cheddabombs]

I'm not feeling good about today's game.
Devils are not playing well and injury issues.

 

[Missionhockey]

I've always thought that Coleman had a pretty decent amount of skill. I guess it's about time to see whether he's just a bottom six center or if he can be something more.

 

[Zippy316]

According to Masisak one of the lines will be Johansson - Dea - Noesen.

No idea what that means for the rest of the lines? My guess would be:

Hall - Hischier - Palmieri
Wood - Zacha - Coleman
Boyle - Rooney - Stafford

MoJo has sucked the last two games, so it wouldn't shock me if he gets sent a message by being demoted a few lines.

 

[Blender]

Supposed lines:

Taylor Hall - Nico Hischier - Kyle Palmieri
Marcus Johansson - Jean-Sebastien Dea - Stefan Noesen
Miles Wood - Pavel Zacha - Blake Coleman
Brian Boyle - Kevin Rooney - Drew Stafford

Mirco Mueller - Sami Vatanen
Andy Greene - Damon Severson
Will Butcher - Steven Santini

I think Zacha's simply moving into to fill Zajac's defensive role. Plus, he and MoJo don't seem to be meshing all that well.

 

[JK3]

Yeesh a few injuries and those lines look like doody. I think Wood and Zacha were good together last year, maybe they can get something going.

I actually like Wood-Zacha-Coleman. The "2nd" and "4th" lines look like shit.

 

[Nubmer6]

I was really hoping they'd call up Seney, stick him at 2C, and move Zacha to 3c. Still kinda stunned Rooney got the call.

I think it's a decent sign that either Zajac or Bratt will be back soon, so they didn't want to disrupt someone like Seney playing in Binghamton.

 

[R8Devs]

if zacha and coleman are together then they'll probably try to get those guys on the ice whenever Philly's top line is out

 

[MartyOwns]

oh good i’m glad we’re setting santini up for success

playing with butcher in sheltered minutes is a pretty decent gig for someone playing their first game this season

 

[Camille the Eel]

Can’t see pushing Dea into top responsibilities quite so fast. But these are lineups and let’s see what actually happens in minutes and combinations.

How Kinkaid reacts after all the rubber and traffic and goals in the last game is probably the most important thing.

Are you being sarcastic here? His other options are to play with Mueller or Greene.

 

[Devils Dominion]

We've been playing like crap since the Wash game, no Trav, tough building.

Hope I'm wrong but not feeling optimistic today.

I can't tell, because I think playing with Butcher is the best place to set him up for success.

You've literally picked us to lose every game so far this year.
