GDT: Preseason Game 2: Devils @ Canadiens - 7 P.M.

[Mgd31]

No Jack, Nico, Bratt, Meier. There is not a chance in hell I am watching tonight.

I know the outcome of the game does not matter but I will never understand the idea of flying the day of a game. That has to be bad physically for the guys playing.

Plus which, those little pretzels are dehydrating. (making me thirsty)

Anyone joining this site for the first time ever on this GDT would be out of here so fast. Anyone have the facetiousness meter for today's GDT?

Did the woodman start crying?

 

[None Shall Pass]

I'm not going to watch this

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

holy shit lol

 

[Nocashstyle]

holy shit lol

That’s like a 2015 regular season lineup lol

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

in all seriousness, i really hope someone’s sitting down with that group and saying “look, i know you’re all trying to make an impression but giving someone a concussion or breaking a leg is not gonna get you noticed for the right reasons.”

I’d honestly be terrified to send out any actual NHLers against a roster like ours tonight.

Sir this is a Wendys. We have the Danometer

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Yeah... I don't see much reason to watch this. I am interested to see Casey, but not with that group.

 

[The Wumpus]

Preseason hockey has to the worst thing in sports, there's nothing enjoyable to watch, just glorified scrimmages lol

The only thing I hate more than preseason hockey is the fact that I watch it

 

[Cheddabombs]

Break out the toilet paper for that lineup lol

 

[Bad Goalie]

holy shit lol

NJ's 4th line, MacDermid being required to actually take a regular shift for 60 minutes, and then I count 9 Comets (including the D). Fitz mailing a team out this afternoon to meet the NHL requirement for a preseason game.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Honestly for a preseason, given who is out injured, that's not the worst D I have ever seen.

That is, however, the single worst forward group I have ever laid eyes upon in any context. Jesus, f***ing CHRIST

 

[NjDevsRR]

Break out the toilet paper for that lineup lol

 

[ndkjr70]

i looked it up and teams that start the preseason 0-2 actually go on to win the cup 79% of the time

wow this game is a MUST lose.

[glenwo2]

Wake me when the real games start

Same.

Not expecting much from this toilet-paper lineup (sans the first line).

In fact, if the Habs lose to this team with this lineup, they should just cancel their season out of embarrassment.

 

[Devs3cups]

Seamus szn!!!

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Is this Nemec's chance to show what he can do on the PP while Hughes is out? I don't mean in this particular game though.

 

[Brodeur]

That definitely looks like an 8 veteran minimum lineup. I'll toss the game on in the background while I'm watching Padres/Dodgers.

Edit - After counting on my fingers, it looks like 9 vets: Cotter, Lazar, Bastian, Labanc, MacDermid, Siegenthaler, Kovacevic, Nemec, and Allen.

 

[Japam]

With a lineup like that I'm so happy their 1st is top 10 protected this season.

Does the protection of the 1st apply to preseason too?
