Man... I hate games against the Bruins. Their defense make the Devils offense look very disjointed and ugly. Is this what other teams felt when playing the Devils in the 90s and early 2000s?

 

[My3Sons]

So McLeod is playing with Meier and Dawgson and Hischier is playing with Palat and Haula. It’s pretty obvious who the 3C is.

[Richer's Ghost]

Someone bury the rat please.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Be nice to get this one and end the year in a playoff spot.

 

[Comparison Ford]

we could rly use an upgrade on that 4th line. too bad lazar and even someone like nosek is hurt.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Lets Go Devils!

Dougie is a loss we are feeling at times but I forgot about Nosek. They haven't really reported anything on him latley as far as I know. Would be nice to get him back at some point to replace Tierney as the 13th forward.

 

[Clam Jensen]

I hope someone takes McAvoy out. Sorry. Hate that pug-faced chode licker.

 

[Blender]

LGD!!

 

[Brooklyndevil]

This is a major game for this teams confidence. We’re terrible on back to back games, we never beat the Bruins and Pasternak kills us. We can definitely use a win tonight. The Devils are looking better defensively, although we still need to cut down on odd man rushes. It will be an interesting game. Go get a win tonight boys!

 

[Better Call Sal]

TD Garden has been a house of horrors for us in the past. We’ve only won there 5 times if I counted correctly since 2010-2011.

If ever there was a time to afford me an opportunity to stick it to my in-laws, now’s the time!

[Saugus]

Hoping we can keep it rolling tonight. Devils will be back in Boston in two weeks and I’m planning to go to that one.

 

[crashline]

I hope someone takes McAvoy out. Sorry. Hate that pug-faced chode licker.

New merch just dropped.

 

[Mgd31]

Score the first goal please

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Tonight, will be really difficult. Devs have not done well on the 2nd game of back-to-back. Throw in it's on the road with traveling and against the Bruins and their stingy goalies and defense and its tall order.

However, I think the team can get it done.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Hey, anything can happen tonight, doesn’t have to be same as ever was…

LGD.

 

[devilsblood]

we could rly use an upgrade on that 4th line. too bad lazar and even someone like nosek is hurt.

Tierney, and the whole of the 4th line, was pretty good last night though.

In limited minutes.

Very limited minutes. Probably too limited.

I would like to see our leading 5 on 5 points per 60 player get some more TOI tonight.

[None Shall Pass]

1. Don't galaxy brain this and start Daws again - let Vitek take this game.

2. Move Holtz back to Nico's line and let Haula center the 4th.

3. Miller on D over Smith, please.

3. Miller on D over Smith, please.

Yes, but we all know Ruff Ruff won’t sit Smith after scoring.

Miller over Smith and Smith over Tierney?

#FreeHoltz

I'll throw some red meat out there.

Remember when Ruff was asked what Holtz has to do to get more minutes, and he said, don't get scored on?

List of guys with with worse GA/60 rates this season:

Mercer
Bahl
Haula
Meier
Hughes
Smith
Marino
Bastian
Toffoli

Guys in the last 20 games with better GA/60.

Miller
Palat
End of list.

Also begs the question as to why Miller is in the doghouse. Could it possibly stem from missing games due to his wife having a baby?

 

[NJDevs26]

I’d like to think Lindy isn’t THAT old school where he’s gonna ding the guy for missing middle of the season games for childbirth in 2023, but it is interesting that seems to have lost Miller his spot again since he’s played only one of the last few games, when Smith was also in at forward. I think it’s more him being pro Smith than anti Miller per se
