GDT: Feel good GDT, remember the good old days - Canes vs. Devils.

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Since our team stinks and we seem to all be at each other's throats on this board and in a generally fowl mood, here is a GDT to lift our spirits, even if just temporarily. Just remember some of the good old days.







If you have some other good ones to post (Like Staal's game tying goal before Wallin's goal...or chasing Marty on his birthday, etc...) post them and I'll add them to this OP as I couldn't find them.

As for the line-ups? I'm sure they will change 10 times during the game so not sure it matters.

Who you calling a fowl? huh?

Good timing on a lift your spirits GDT. I'll be the first to admit I've been pretty disgruntled about this season even if they didn't look any better on paper.

Hey, if it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck...well..... (ok, that's all I've got trying to recover from a spelling error. No sense correcting it and I won't even try to blame spell check as I just screwed up. ).

Marty Brodeur losing his cool after blowing that game is probably my favorite Devils/Canes game memory ever. What a brat. Who woulda thought the Canes could say they were 3-1 in playoff series against one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL History.

I thought this game would be a low scoring snooze fest but with two backup goalies in, maybe there will be more scoring.

Keep your negativity out of this GDT!

At least until Lack gives up his first soft goal and all hell breaks loose.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Wait Schneider isn't playing? **** me I was counting on him to have an easy win in fantasy or at worst lose to the Canes so I could be happy about something. Guaranteed shutout loss incoming.

Over/Under on how many times this needs to be posted pre-game is 12.

It's not in the video BBA posted, but the greatest thing about the "Shock at the Rock" is after Staal scores and backs into the glass, if you find a slow mo of it, there is the hottest devils fan giving the two biggest middle fingers you've ever see

about 9:30 of this video.

No pressure eddie, but the results of this game will determine whether we think you are a good or bad goalie.

Oh, no. We already know Eddie is a bad goalie so far. The results of this game will determine whether we think he is still a bad goalie, or now a slightly less bad goalie.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Interesting data on Eddie:

Last year, he was above average everywhere except in the slot, where he was below average: http://war-on-ice.com/hexgoalies.html?name=Eddie0Lack0-0G&start0=20142015&end0=20142015

This year, he's below average everywhere, on a much smaller sample size: http://war-on-ice.com/hexgoalies.html?name=Eddie0Lack0-0G&start0=20152016&end0=20152016

If he returns to last year's form, the team as a whole should benefit modestly, because our current strength -- preventing shots from down low -- covers his weakness and emphasizes his strength.

I can't wait to let him have it! ----E Get out your pitchforks!

I can't wait to let him have it! ----E Get out your pitchforks!

Getting ready to leave so I can let 'em all have it in person. Go Canes! Or some such....

Thankfully my sarcasm meter is working correctly, otherwise I'd have to say:

I'm in such a positive mood tonight, I'm predicting a 5-2 win. Skinner, Faulk, Lindholm, Rask and Malone with the goals.

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

Severson, Josefson, and Gionta, with 3 GWG each

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

It's so weird thinking of the Devils without Lou Lamoriello.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

See that nice backcheck by Skinner on that one? Good job Skins.
