GDT: Preseason Hockey! Game #1: Your New Jersey Devils @ Montreal Canadiens, 7 PM, Stream on NJ Devils App

I’m hoping for a good game from Okhotiuk and Bahl. I’d prefer to have Okhotiuk make it but it woild be good to see both look like they are NHL ready.
Its nice to see Walsh play well but I just dont see a spot for him as we habe better options or better versions of what type of game he plays.
Its crazy to think we still have Hughes Nemec and Mukhamadoulin coming soon….
It will be like adding three potemtial #1/2/3 dmen to the roster …. It will be massive

Hope Zetterlund can do some big things to force himself on the team. There’s lots of competition at forward and it may be tough with Holtz lighting it up.

 

[Brodeur]

If I'm counting on my fingers correctly, that roster just hits the 8 veteran minimum required for each preseason game. But looking forward to it!

 

[FooteBahl]

Which Bratt?

No Zacha?

Lol.

Speaking of ex-Devils, the Pens board looks like they're unimpressed with Smith.

I inow it’s just preseason but I’m pumped to watch. It’s been a loooooooong time waiting. Like others have said , I haven’t been this excited for a game since about last December. ( before we were essentially out of a playoff spot before Xmas).

They could have gotten that from us for free

He has to pass through waivers now so he has a leg up there

The players to watch for me in this one are Okhotyuk for the Devils and Beck for Montreal.

Okhotyuk to me is a good camp away from stealing the 3LD slot for opening night. His mix of speed and physicality is something which would really inject some intensity into the Devils blueline. He'll make a mistake here and there like any young blueliner, but his potential overall impact is something being overlooked by many Devils fans.

In Montreal, the media is acting like Owen Beck is some sort of revelation, but the fact is I was touting the kid all throughout the draft year and said multiple times he'd be a strong pick in the top 15. He's the perfect example of why you can't over-rely on stats with draft prospects and need to watch the players. He could pull a Patrice Bergeron and go straight from a 2nd-round pick to a top-6 NHL role.

Don't you mean he could pull a Dawson Mercer?

Is tonight's game subject to blackout on ESPN+? Just curious.

 

[Mgd31]

Where's Sharangovich?

 

[HBK27]

Where's Sharangovich?

He's part of the group that will play tomorrow night vs. the Islanders.

 

[Billdo]

No Zacha?

You'll all miss him, oh yes, you'll all miss him muahahaha

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Where's Sharangovich?

Making babies.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Some conflicting info, but this is the group on skating now. There are two separate skates taking place afterwards, so this guy's interpretation is this group will go to Montreal since they're on first. Guess we'll find out!

Why is Sharangovich stuck with mcleod and bastian lol

ugh but i don't wanna use the app

i don't want to watch on my small phone.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Like those lines and d pairings.
Okhotyuk-Bahl will be fun to watch and I'm glad Thompson is playing center. Hopefully he has a monster year in AHL.

If it’s not I’ll definitely be tuning in if the giants shit the bed lol.

 

[Lou is God]

Going to game tomorrow night, that would be great to get Hughes - Holtz and Nemec.

Rango’s gotta play somewhere while they give Tatar a chance to prove he still has a pulse.
