I'm really not sure how you can watch the play of Graves, Siegenthaler and Smith and be up in arms with giving Luke a shot.

He should have been in since game one of the playoffs.

Graves and Smith and probably Bahl but definitely not Siegenthaler. He’s been our best defenseman

The guy that was already a healthy scratch?

The guy that was already a healthy scratch?

As if Lindy was right to do that

The guy that was already a healthy scratch?

...and he's been really good since then.

I won’t be able to watch today because I’ll be at a 3 year olds birthday, but it’s outside which is ideal since it’s beautiful in Jersey today. Hopefully when I check the score luke will have a hat trick already.

Right, inserting the best drafted prospect on planet earth whose play style is the perfect counter to how Carolina plays is definitely not the right thing to do. We need Smith in there to absorb hits, take penalties, and be a black hole offensively.

"Best drafted prospect on planet earth"?

Tough to debate that kind of logic.

Appreciate the loyalty; if not the objectivity.

But if Jack Hughes is the next Connor McDavid why wouldn't Luke be the next Paul Coffey?

Should change that saying under your user name to negative vibes lol

Listen to it on the phone or watch it on your phone ! The kid will have plenty of more birthdays lol

Excited to have Luke get playoff experience regardless.

 

[Devs3cups]

I’m so f***ing proud of this team for what they’ve accomplished this year, and I’m thrilled for our future. We are in arguably the best position in the league going forward with our young core and prospects.

But they have to win tonight to keep it going. Hopefully, they get the series to 2-1!

Don’t let it end fellas, LGD!!!

It’s almost like the Devils management thinks the series is over, so let the rookie get a taste of the playoffs. I hope he plays well, but he’s not our savior. That’s the vibe I’m getting.

Graves is hurt from that hit he took, he didn't even play the 3rd period so it's not like he's being healthy scratched for Luke. Would you rather Smith play? Besides him there isn't anyone else anyway so they are definitely better off giving Luke a shot over Smith.

Graves is injured. Would you be more comfortable with Smith in? I sure as hell wouldn’t.

Luke’s transition game and speed through the D-zone/Neutral zone should help us beat the Canes structure.

[Saugus]

Pleased to see Luke Hughes will be in tonight. Any word on who the goalie will be? Haven’t been able to follow the team news since Friday.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Just a tad higher than the marketing team. There's no way Lindy or Fitz decided this was the best course of action.

Ah, the doom and gloomers continue to lose their minds even more

 

[JK3]

Saying it for the 47th time but for f***s sake our top guys have do something already, holy shit.

[Cheddabombs]

You'd think they're be inserting Walsh into the lineup the way some people are talking lmao

 

[Billdo]

Everything's gonna be fine.

 

[Tundra]

I am angry that the devils let the hurricans hit graves and hischier & nothing came of it.

 

[PWiz30]

Had a dream last night that the Devils fell behind 3-1 then scored 6 unanswered goals to win 7-3 (hat trick by 86). Then again, I also dreamt that I was getting dressed for my own game and couldn't figure out how to correctly put my pads on so I'm sure how much stock we should put in the predictive power of dreams.

Better than 8:15pm

not a chance.....especially when a nice sunny day, 63 degrees and i'm trying to take down a 50' birch tree

 

[JrFischer54]

Noway this team goes down without a fight to Freddy freaking Anderson. Noway not happening

 

[Desert Devil]

The start time sucks. I’m on the west coast. 12:30 game time start for me. Dangerous to start drinking that early but here we go!

Hughes bros and Meier get the goals. We win 3-1.
