GDT: ECSF Game 3: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Carolina Hurricanes, 3:30 PM, TBS

[theking72]

Just win, baby

 

[Dylan9z9]

Give it a shot, it’s preferable to your endless sarcasm and constant negativity. Who knows, you may actually enjoy being positive about the team you root for!

I think that kid Connor Bedard might be the next Connor McDavid from what I'm hearing and seeing

 

[Guttersniped]

Did you watch the Frozen Four?

There's no 3 on 3 in the playoffs.

After the Devils allowed 11 goals in two games I don't see how a defenseman who doesn't defend is expected to turn the tide.

Seems more like marketing than sound hockey strategy.

“Marketing” lol.

Yeah, that’s a huge concern in one playoff game, that’s clearly why they’re making a move you don’t agree with. The only explanation really.

 

[Dylan9z9]

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.

Hopefully Luke can help on the power play and not just give up the puck at the blueline like Graves, Severson and Hamilton

 

[Guttersniped]

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.

The 3 year old won’t even remember the party dude, duck out of that BS.

I kid the kid party. Pin the shit out the donkey tails (or whatever kids do, I don’t know/care).

Anyway LFGD, I will be wearing what is now my lucky Siegenthaler jersey since it got us two wins vs the Rags. (Yes, it played a part, that’s how lucky jerseys work. That’s just science.)

Forget the tacos. Time to bust out the PREMIO to reverse course.

 

[Guttersniped]

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

Oh, now it’s not marketing?

 

[JimEIV]

I think Luke will be able to defend just fine...my only concern is him being overwhelmed having never seen this level of intensity, physicality and speed. So easy for seasoned pro to take a bad angle on a winger coming down the wall, let alone someone who has never seen anything like this.

Maybe having been around the speed of his two brothers and of course his own skating abilities will make that all not a problem for him to handle?

We'll see? I have no doubt Luke is on his way to becoming a dynamic NHL Dman...just this pressure cooker is a tremendous amount to ask from him.

No doubt my household will be rooting for him...but very nervously.

[Andre Palot]

Get real.

 

[devilsblood]

Do we have confirmation on goalie for today?

 

[Dylan9z9]

It's going to take El Pastore at the minimum for this game

 

[MauDevils]

I have that same concern for every defenseman not named John Marino.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Took the plunge and bought in section 11 today. Taking my boy to his first playoff game…very pumped about this.

He will remember it the rest of his life. I remember stuff like that with my dad. I saw Frank Gifford’s one handed catch against the Steelers with my dad, for example, at a frigid Yankee stadium with him. He cut out cardboard to put in our boots for insulation lol. Great memories.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Discussing whether Luke was put in due to the marketing team

 

[Camille the Eel]

Forget the tacos. Time to bust out the PREMIO to reverse course.

Sausage tacos followed by Flo’s Tasty Treats ought to do it.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Luke hasnt been in so long, i legit forgot what number he has on his jersey.

 

[JimEIV]

I have that same concern for every defenseman not named John Marino.

The problem is if he does have any troubles and they limit his time and situations it all falls on the top 4 to pick up the slack...which now includes Bahl. Things can get dicey quickly.

Hopefully we can play with a lead today. I think that will change the complexion of the series drastically.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Oh I thought I decided it

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

Video to Youtube please. Hopefully not a "FAIL".

 

[Bleedred]

Back to the avatar I had when we won games 3, 4 and 5 of the first round.

I changed it after losing game 6, mostly because DD going into a Rangers game 7 had some bad vibes.

I don’t think it’s so bad when down 2-0 to RAWLY though lol.

I guess this will be another cross the streams.

 

[Alex NJD]

Love the BMS GDT

At a party recently a friend's new boyfriend said he'd never seen it. Everyone was shocked it was near biblical back in late HS, early college for us ~24 year olds

Things are already dicey. I'm ready to roll some fun dice for a change.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Positive view is Luke is about to take a roster spot and never give it back for the rest of his career
