GDT: Devils @ Caps - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Devs3cups]

I like the Palat and Cotter flip. I called for that after last game

Keefe browses HF confirmed??

 

[DerekDevils30]

That Caps D looks solid on paper

 

[Hisch13r]

Keefe browses HF confirmed??

lol Well if that was the case he probably never would’ve gone with Jack and Timo

 

[Deviled]

Maybe they feel for letting Sheldon Keefe down against his former team, come out swinging tonight

And Palat is an expensive fourth liner huh!

 

[DerekDevils30]

Caps played their last preseason game a week ago with what looks like a full regular lineup. Hope we can catch them rusty out of the gate and get a goal or two early on

 

[Bleedred]

If there’s one thing we should all be thankful for it’s that MacDermid is not getting games. I was afraid he’d play close to half the games.

But there’s still plenty of time for that to possibly happen.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Biggest game of the season.

... and dont play allen more than 39 games

I’m assuming that’s when the pick for him becomes higher?

I feel like that’s not something I should have to be thankful for given he shouldn’t even be anywhere near the roster

Well played.

 

[My3Sons]

Wow there’s an adjustment. Cotter to the 3rd line

He’s not playing with Hischier. He probably should be though.

 

[Comparison Ford]

palat with a very deserving demotion

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Like the lines change. Might have to switch the top 6 up at some point because Jack and Meier don’t seem to work but I don’t mind waiting until Jack is going to see if they maybe can

 

[Edmonton East]

Going to the game tonight so I don't wanna bet Caps.....but man, does this line seem wrong tonight.

Devs have sucked vs Caps for what feels like a decade, including most of last year even when the Caps had a shit roster. They are much improved this season....on paper anyway.

 

[guitarguyvic]

anyone pay attention to the caps during the preseason? how are they looking? does PLD look good?

They went 3-3 during the preseason, same as the golden knights and much better than us, so should expect them to be cup contenders this year. It’s gonna be a real challenge for the devils tonight, we will be lucky if it’s even close.

Now let's not get crazy. This Caps team is not a serious contender. Unfortunately, the Devs might not be either and they tend to struggle badly vs the Caps.

 

[Killing Joke]

Probably another loss tonight given our history with the caps and the fact that Markstrom sucks against them in his career.
1-8-2 with a 3.06 GAA and .898 save percentage.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Hopefully we win, would like that very much!

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Love the Palat move, these players have no long history with Keefe so he's gonna move them regardless of price tag of their contracts.

 

[Saugus]

Hoping for a win and an Ovechkin goal as usual when we play the Caps.

[Whaddagoal]

Keefe said Markstroms in again to get back at it.

Keefe wants to get Haulas line going, he's got no real problems with any line but wants the 3rd to get going specifically. Very happy with original 4th line and happy with Cotter. Keefe happy with Nicos line and top 6 for most of the games, particularly tough matchups. Feels Hughes line has been pretty good but "OK" last one.

Doesn't want to overreact too much as he feels he's still learning a lot about the team/guys and trying to let some of it play out.

[longislanddevil]

Wow. The six million dollar man is now relegated to the fourth line. That’s a lot of dinero for so-called veteran leadership. Percent chances he’s bought out in the offseason?

I like the adjustment. Cotter has been very good.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Love the Palat move, these players have no long history with Keefe so he's gonna move them regardless of price tag of their contracts.

This is a very good under the radar aspect of this. Hopefully it applies to everyone (for example Siegenthaler)
