Game Thread: GDT: Devils @ Flyers

[Nasty_Magician]

Let's do this!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

So Brunner, JJ and Swedish Hammer sitting? Did Larsson run over DeBoer's dog or something?

So I'm assuming 4th line will be Gionta, TooToo and Ruutu? Not a bad 4th line.

I think the Henrique/Ryder combination can be very effective. I think Ryder has a bounceback year and I anticipate Henrique taking the next step.

Not surprised about Larsson honestly.... I know he's young but he's also not "young" anymore in terms of expectations... its time to see results one way or the other.

I agree Ryder having a bounce back year.

VERY GOOD to see Brunner sitting...

I'm going to miss Bernier but lets see what this makeshift 4th line do.

 

[CalamityX11]

Lets go Devils!!!!

 

[irishwhip03]

Anxious to see if Camm can be that go to guy that we havent had since Kovy left. Not on that level but someone that can get a big goal when its needed. Something we sorely lacked last season.

Figures about Larsson but I guess it makes sense to play Severson at first and see how he fairs. If Sal wasnt here our D would look very promising.

 

[CalamityX11]

Trade Adam while we can... get Kane!!!! lol

 

[MCDevils]

Best players play. Ignore the draft positions at this point. I want to win games. If Larsson busts, he busts. The fact that we have three legit NHL dmen all around 21 y/o is something to applaud, not get upset about.

 

[MCDevils]

Also, I love the dman revolution but it also scares me. We've been an elite defensive team the last few seasons, so breaking that up is a bit scary.

 

[CalamityX11]

I'm all for the new change in defensive personnel... and I know there might be moments or games where we be, wtf was Pete thinking etc...

But i'm good with taking the growing pains for the optimal results... these guys can play, Merrill is my favorite defendor til Santini comes through(another solid) and he can play. Not too worried there, something tells me he us much more mature on the ice than his age suggests.

to a great and fun season, its both a retooling n rebuilding season for me but no one says we cant win in the process...

if i win 1st place.....luxury boxy is on me for opening night guys!

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to watch it from there. Hopefully its not blacked out like center ice usually is for me.

Johnny Mac taking over Dano's role?

I like it.

I always forget he was like the worst coach in Devils history but I wont hold that against him.

 

[MadCaptain]

The Flyers are trying really hard to be like the Islanders.

Create one of the worst defenses in the league, including Andy Mac and Streit (Check!)
Bring in a crazy goaltender to manage the team (Check!)
Lose for a couple decades (_____)
Turn into fishsticks (______)
Be second fiddle to the 76ers (Impossible to achieve)

 

[irishwhip03]

Vintage Ryder goal. I could get used to seeing that 29 more times this year.

 

[MadCaptain]

Slow period but Ryder goal is good.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Devils' forecheck is really giving the Flyers fits in this 2nd period.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Jagr!

 

[MadCaptain]

game is getting faster. Del Guido scored for the Devils like usual. I'm glad he's back in the division. It was a sad day when the rangers got rid of him.

WOW what a goal by Camel. that was beautiful
