Legare has 3 goals, feels like an odd call up. Probably looking for someone who has transferable skills to a 4th line, but our depth in the A is really weak up front.

Yeah, I was just wondering about this as well. 3 points in 18 games in Utica and somehow he's getting the nod tonight?

With Rempe in for the Rangers, isn't this exactly the type of game we have MacDermid for?

Yeah. They trot his worthless hockey playing ass around and then sit him for the only time he may have an actual role? Make it make sense lol

Guy with speed who can finish checks. Probably all you need for a 4th line winger if you're looking for something different. Bowers has some speed, but doesn't offer much else I feel from what I've seen. Foote unfortunately doesn't have much footspeed and doesn't play a physical enough game for his size.

From what Keefe indicated in his media availability, Tatar should be back by the next game which isn't until Friday. So it seems like this might be seeing what some of the other guys have to offer. Seems like Hardman is more capable of finishing (based on his AHL numbers). When Tatar is back, I assume Legare is the first one out of the lineup.

Just looking around on the interwebs and it seems that Rempe isn't playing tonight, so guess that has something to do with the lineup decision. Still, I'd have MacDermid in there for when the inevitable Trouba flyin' elbow comes out.

If that clown show over there isn’t playing, then I’m completely on board with sitting Macdermid. No reason, the guys in our lineup can already deal with Trouba.

Trouba is never going to agree to drop the mitts with Mac, so there is no point.

You let psycho Dillion do something dirty back to him
That's the problem with MacDermid. He has some sort of code for fighting. He would not force Trouba to fight him after Trouba tried to elbow one of the skilled Devils in the head. And Dillon is also a defender. It's unlikely he and Trouba get together. NJ could use a true sociopath on the fourth line. It would solve so many issues.

All I really ask of the fourth line is low event hockey.

If nothing happens for like a minute while the rest of the guys catch their breath, I'm fine with it.
