GDT: Devils @ Canes Game 1: Back to the Future

[Nikishin Go Boom]

this an episode of us having to go back to the past due to the risk of life, find a way to get back to the future, warn our supposed dead friend of his emmett(inent) death, just to return and everything is fine?

We’re missing one thing though, lightning.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

It'd be cool if we win this.

It does feel like we don't quite have the firepower.

Worth noting though: led the league in goals by defensemen. Only 1 out of 16 in Round 1 was from a dman (Slavin, Game 2).

If the D can come alive from an offensive perspective, it won't be traditional, but we might be able to cobble together enough offense by committee to make it interesting.

Here are the projected lines but there were a lot of weird combos during the last practice.
And Rod said we will not know the starting goalie until 6:30pm LOL

Now go do, that voodoo, that you do, so well

Staal bumped up to the 2nd line center now?

 

[MisterDobz]

Why not us?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Kick them in the ding ding!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Canes have allowed 2 goals or less in each of the past 5 Game 1s at PNC (7 total allowed).

Keep it up.

Yep... they are lost in Tampa

I'll consider tonight a success if no one is seduced by their mom.

^^^It's been years since I've seen Back to the Future, but I think Stickpucker is referring to the movie when he travels back in time and his mom doesn't know that's her future son.

I though he was talking about some Jersey Shore reality.

 

[Summer Rose]

NJ's got a tacos theme going over in their GDT. I REALLY hope we see some Nachos tonight.

Nachos are better than tacos anyway.

That line will be matched up on Hughes no doubt, It's to give Staal the speed to counter them.

as far as i'm concerned, we're playing with house money now.

halfway through the first round i thought neither team in our series would last more than 5 against whoever came out of the rags/devs series. the islanders were just not very good, and the fact our series was remotely competitive told me our injuries were going to be too much to overcome against a decent team. they deserve nothing but appreciation for gutting out the last month of the season, never losing the division lead, and winning a series.

now, if freddie decided to play every game like he did game 6, that changes things.

can they win the series? yep. am i going to stress about it? nope.

now that i typed that out, i'll probably have a damn heart attack during the series

either way, let's do the thing

Similar view although I think a win tonight would go a long way, it will be all about getting 2-3 goals a game the Rags showed one thing and that's you can stymie them (4 goals scored in 3 losses) it will all be on sneaking a few by there rookie early.

 

[Unhinged Finn]

I am against everything new. What is wrong with old Jersey or old York? Or landline telecommunication? Or Burns? And don't get me started with the new kids on the block.

The heart attack?? That's @To Be Determined

Can't wait for ESPN/TNT to slobber all over NJ's knob all game and series long.

What will the talking heads story line for the Canes be?

A. No star power
B. Too many injuries
C. Jaccob Slavin's stick
D. All of the above
