GDT: What a Season: Devils @ Capitals, 7 PM, MSG+

[Nubmer6]

This is the playoffs. It's a new season. Forget about regular season records. I just look at how we played against the different teams.

I'm not as afraid of Boston as some others. I feel like we out-played them at times and got bad bounces.
Pitt, at least last game, I felt like we got outplayed and KK bailed us out.
Tampa's looking fragile and their goaltending has become porous.
Washington scares me. We don't match up well with them and they may be riding a new, hot goalie. You never know how he'll do.
Columbus I feel like we never play well against.
If Florida makes it in, they're gonna be a scary team. As we all know, they've been on a serious roll this last month.
I feel like Philly's a streaky team and they're in a down-swing. If they make it, I wouldn't be surprised to see them swept first round.

When we played Boston there was no Bergeron Krug and Nash

I feel bad for Cory. He’s probably gonna get smoked again lol

 

[theoptimist]

It would be great if the Devils B-roster won the Capitals A-roster. However, it’s pretty easy to assume that the Devils get the second wild card spot and they play against the Lightning or the Bruins. Probably Lightning.

When the difference between your A-roster and B-roster is Taylor Hall...

 

[JimEIV]

Nah. He will probably win. No pressure to win this one.

 

[JimEIV]

Hischier playing all 82 is a major accomplishment. Let's hope he gets 20 today.

I am really surprised they aren't giving Hall a shot at 40.

[JimEIV]

Then I am surprised Hall didn't want a shot at 40.

 

[glenwo2]

look at those stats. glenwo cost us 4 wins

HEY!! I SUCK!

HEY!! I SUCK!

HEY!! I SUCK!

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

Then I am surprised Hall didn't want a shot at 40.

He's just counting the goal against Buffalo instead

 

[glenwo2]

And Vatanen as well - Stafford, Bratt, Hayes and Severson all in but no MoJo

That 1st line with Stafford = Poor Nico and Bratt

 

[Its a Trap]

Then I am surprised Hall didn't want a shot at 40.

There are bigger things at stake then personal records. Let him be totally fresh and rested.

 

[Better Call Sal]

He's just counting the goal against Buffalo instead

Now I'm triggered about that game again.

 

[glenwo2]

Well, at least some guys who probably need rest are getting it. I don't see this game going well.

Only question remains is if Cory can regain some confidence here.

Would be an absolute bonus(and hilarious as hell) if the Devils pulled off the Victory on the road in Washington without The MVP playing.

 

[JimEIV]

There are bigger things at stake then personal records. Let him be totally fresh and rested.

6 days between games seems counterproductive to me. Especially for Keith. I wouldn't do anything to stop that momentum personally.

 

[glenwo2]

Doesn't seem that way unless Oshie's a rest day lol

Holy Mismatches, Spiderman!

 

[glenwo2]

Yikes. Tough game.

Tough Building, too.,

 

[JimEIV]

I am checking on flights to Tampa now .

Washington and Columbus are really bad matchups, especially if the referees interpret the rules loosely.

Eh. Either way there’s a big gap in games. We may not even play on Wednesday so it would be an even bigger gap. I’m not worried. He’s been locked in all season. Keith just needs to stay sharp.

 

[JimEIV]

They always let more go in the playoffs.

 

[Nubmer6]

The thing I'm most interested in for this game is how the Wood-Zacha-Maroon line does. I really want them to solidify themselves as a line like the Zajac and Hischier lines have.

 

[glenwo2]

Smart to rest Taylor

Especially to make sure he avoids Tom Wilson just before the start of the Playoffs. You know that piece of garbage will be looking to injure Hall just before the playoffs start.

 

[hockeykicker]

CBJ resting their top pair (Jones-Werenski) as well as Foligno, Atkinson, Bob, Panarin, Sedlak, Murray and Wennberg.

 

[glenwo2]

TRUE LEADER right there.

Puts the T-E-A-M's goals over his own personal ones.
