Wow

 

[Saugus]

Come on guys! We're on the second page of an Animal House themed GDT and nobody has made a Niedermayer joke yet? It's right there!

[Better Call Sal]

I'll be in section 5, can't wait for the work day to end!

 

[Camille the Eel]

Thompson got time before his major injury, so I'm not surprised he's getting another chance now that he's got some game time under him.

He has played the cycle-the-puck down low game well in his stints up here in prior years and will go into the corners and keep the puck moving. He may fit that line better than Holtz but also Holtz may just be under the weather or something.

 

[Classic Devil]

I'm going to the game tonight. First game I've been to at the Rock in many years.

At some point NJ will have better allegedly first line winger options than Tatar and Zetterlund. Both are very good players in their roles, but I'm skeptical that is a first line role. I'd probably swap them with Shara and Mercer.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Wow

I wish you could loan players like you do in soccer. We could send Holtz on loan to the Sharks or something to mature up his game

They could have him play in Utica if they wanted. They must see something specific they want him to work on in practice with NJ.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Bergeron, he's a dead man! Marchand, dead! Niederme(a)yer...umm, a f*** it, dead! Zacha, dead! Hall, dead!


LGD.

I thought Zetts hit a wall a week or so ago, but he did have a few good looks over last 2 games. I agree with you not a 1st liner material over long haul. But maybe he will get used to NHL schedule grind soon enough. I think Mercer should end up there over time.

Hopefully the rest did the guys some good and they can get going again, like during the streak.

even better, we can just give him(and Shak) to San Jose for Meier

 

[Aurinko]

Half the league would cheer to see the Bruins continue their losing streak.

Win here would bring back ALL of the confidence...

 

[RSeen]

Wow

I like this move. I was encouraged by what I saw from Tyce last preseason. Though he hasn't had much production this year, he would more than likely be a bottom six player anyways and Holtz isn't NHL ready at this point.

 

[JK3]

Battle of the Bums!

 

[FinnishDevil]

win!

What is this monstrosity? Did Haula take the boys to a sauna during Christmas break?

 

[Whaddagoal]

No firing blanks.

LFGD

Also... If our forwards can not hit posts tonight and actually get those easy AAA goals...

I’m in for relegating teams as well

 

[Jack Be Quick]

I'd prefer to see Mercer centering rango and Holtz but other than that this is probably the best lineup they can ice at the moment.

LFGD!

Not sure what your knock on either of those players is. On a nightly basis that line has consistently been New Jersey's strongest group when it comes to playing both ends of the ice. Given that Zetterlund is in his first full season that bodes well for the future.

Zetterlund has been good in the grand scheme of things, absolutely...but his output and effectiveness hit a wall in thr last 20 or so days. (So did others).

Dont know reason but id assume for the young guys could hitting NHL schedule grind awakening (not used to so many games with such intensity)

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Let's go Devils!!!!

 

[JK3]

Thats verboten! Haula will get a goal tonight!

Gonna will it via HFboards you will see..

This hasn’t been working at all, he needs to be ruthlessly mocked but it has to be during the game lol.
