GDT: ECSF Game 2: Carolina Hurricanes vs. YOUR NEW JERSEY DEVILS, 8PM TNT

[Billdo]

I mean I don't know why anyone's surprised about Smith *potentially* getting back in for Graves. Putting Hughes in most likely isn't going to happen and Smith has the experience for whatever that's worth. I don't get the surprise though.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Their schnitzel is pretty good.

wienerschnitzel done right is amazing and before any animal lovers boo me - your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

I think it’s less surprise than disgust that this coaching staff is pissing away a legitimate chance at a cup by refusing to play our best players.

 

[Puckclektr]

Recipe for a win…
1. No stupid penalties. Especially in the offensive zone.
2. Shoot the puck. You’re not going to beat this defense with finesse. Shoot at the net and go for rebounds and tap in garbage goals.

relax it takes 4 wins to win a series not 2 and certainly not 1. if anything thats something we should've learned two weeks ago!

 

[The Grinder]

I predict an OT win tonight.

Or a 5-1 loss.

One of those.

a dano GDT by @NjDevsRR :

real blue-collar effort today. it's appreciated and needed for tonight

 

[Eggtimer]

I want absolutely nothing to do with 11/7 in any form as we always look disjointed, and playing disjointed is the last thing we need.

I much rather Luke in for Graves. Smith in for him seems like a wash to me as I don't think any extra penalty Smith takes matters as much against the Canes like it did against the Rags

doing a video shoot and won’t be able to catch the beginning of the game. hoping to see the second period on.

if we can start with the energy we played the second and third with, i like our chances.

also whoever said they feel much less anxiety about the canes vs the rangers, i feel that wholeheartedly.

Oh what kind of photo shoot !
Adult entertainers ? Bikini shoot at the beach ?

I had Jersey Mike's sub today for lunch. Dinner TBD but pizza a possibility.

I think assuming Luke Hughes who has all of 32 minutes of professional playing time can step right into the second round of the NHL playoffs against a very good team is not "pissing away" anything.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

No more 5-1 games, please.

I honestly can't remember what I ate every day of the playoffs, but I particularly remember what I ate when we lost, so I don't repeat that again. Even though I did with the bratwurst again for game 1 of this series, which I also had on the day of game 1 of the Rangers series.

Tacos/burritos/quesadilla 0-2.

Had them before games 2 and 6 of the Rangers series. Both losses.

Had just tacos before game 2, but both tacos and burritos before game 6.

Bratwurst 0-2. Had them the day of game 1 in both rounds.

I can't even remember what I ate Monday before game 7? I know it wasn't tacos/burritos or bratwurst. I had the leftover burrito and quesadilla from Saturday on Sunday, so that would be gone before game 7 gameday. I'm sure I would have eaten it anyway the next day, I don't let that stuff sit in the fridge for a day because it's too tempting not to eat it haha.

I probably ate something at home on Monday. Maybe hot dogs (since they aren't brats lol) on Monday? I wiped the slate clean and had bratwurst again for game 1 of this series, because it's a new series.

I plan to have a taco/burrito/whatever blowout tomorrow, but I'm sure there will be something leftover for Sunday afternoon before game 3.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I am cooking burgers tonight.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Busy work day for me, hopefully my work issues don't spread into game time!

So we getting Luke tonight, or is that just optimistic feelings...?

I have no idea for game 1-2-4. 3 I was at a party at a restaurant and for the rest I've been busy with work and my family is all out of the house so I've had to order food which makes it easier to remember lol

Probably no to Luke. The feeling is Smith will draw in lol.

I'm not convinced Graves is a healthy scratch.

This is no definite, but Graves was one of the few player interviews this morning. It's funny that Schmid wound up being in the interviews post-practice on the day before game 3 of the Rangers series when he got his first start. Maybe we'll go the 11/7 thing again, which I think Toronto has done a bunch these playoffs.

Or it'll be Smith for Siegs again......

I could see Graves being scratched for a rest game. He has been not that great for G7 and G1 or was it G6 and R2 G1..

Hoping for the top6 showing by our team.

"Ruff is such an idiot with these lineup changes tonight"

"What changes did he make?"

"We don't know yet."

 

[Whaddagoal]

Pizza it is tonight. Tacos cant be the end all. We gotta survive a few more rounds

 

[Devs3cups]

Pizza too here, cheese is a mutual ingredient. Can’t deviate too much… lmao

 

[NjDevsRR]

Funny how we are all so Taco’d out that even Cinco de Mayo didn’t have a chance lmaooo

 

[MasterofGrond]

i'll eat my hat if graves sits

 

[Billdo]

i'll eat my hat if graves sits

I suggest some type of condiment, perhaps a nice hot sauce.
