GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (0-0-1) @ Buffalo Sabres (1-0), 7 PM, MSG+

[Jack Be Quick]

Rochester is worse. Both suck though.

Syracuse and Albany blow as well. Although Kingston is having a nice little resurgence.

But it's hard to talk too much smack considering I'm from a state that has towns like Paterson, Camden, Lakewood, and Trenton.

 

[SYWTom]

I’m a fan of this lineup, roll 4 lines on the road and play with that insane pace our forwards are capable of.

I bet you’ll see Gusev and Hughes together some, maybe right after PKs etc.

 

[Hisch13r]

im guessing they want to split up hughes and gusev defensively and zacha is good enough to take responsibility with gusev and boqvist on his wings and then have hughes with two vets

It's not like Wood and Bratt are studs defensively. Coleman with Hughes and Gusev makes so much sense to me

 

[JimEIV]

2 of the lines haven't changed at all though.

50% from one night the next...but it really is changes of lines 2 through 4 from last night which is 75%

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Hynes can't help himself. With the exception of the top line, the whole season is likely to be spent juggling lines and players moving in and out of the lineup. On the heels of what was a very good showing until Hynes juggled the lines, he decides juggling them again is a good idea.

Oh well, we may have enough good forwards, finally, to make up for his incompetence as a coach.

 

[Ripshot 43]

not quite, apparently. honestly kind of like it

Wow. Goose is going to feast.

 

[zharkenby]

Ughhh what are these lines. It’s so easy.

Hall-Hischier-Palms
Gusev-Hughes-Coleman
Bratt-Zajac-Boqvist
Wood-Zacha-Simmer

Bratt-Zajac-Boqvist
Wood-Zacha-Simmer

There is no way that they are sticking Simmonds on the 4th line until he plays his way down.

 

[Ripshot 43]

So, I turned the game off at 4-0 last night due to other fatherly obligations. We know the end result...

Who wants me to watch the whole game tonight?

 

[JimEIV]

Wood needs to just go to the net all night tonight.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It does seem like a bit of a reward for Zacha. He has some wings that can score tonight.

Not sure Wood and Jack will work together. We shall see.

Tell the kid(s) to go and hide and you don’t go seek them until the game is over.

 

[MauDevils]

I feel like you just demote Hughes and go:

Gusev - Zacha - Bratt
Wood - Hughes - Boqvist

Wood-Hughes-Bratt just sounds like a disaster.

 

[JimEIV]

I think Zacha looked very good last night.

 

[zharkenby]

It’s the best lines we can ice. Seems like we’re rolling all 4 anyway

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think Zacha looked very good last night.

Oh he definitely had a good game. I want to see him get on the scoresheet tonight with those wingers. I think he will.

 

[Blender]

I think Zacha looked very good last night.

He definitely did.

 

[JimEIV]

I feel like you just demote Hughes and go:

Gusev - Zacha - Bratt
Wood - Hughes - Boqvist

Wood-Hughes-Bratt just sounds like a disaster.

It may very well end up that way based on usage

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Something strange is happening in my salivary glands.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We have so many options with these forwards. It’s hard to not want to tinker.

 

[NjDevsRR]

That forward lineup is badass, only blemish is Wood with Bratt and Hughes. He doesn’t have the IQ to keep up.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

He definitely did.

He was causing chaos and playing tough, smart hockey.

 

[jkrdevil]

Gusev-Zacha-Bratt is the line that led to the first goal last night.

Personally I would put Hughes with Hall, and. Nico with Gusev and Palms/Bratt. Give Hughes a security blanket of an elite player with him to let him gain confidence. I understand that may not be a matchup they want to go with on the road due to not having last change.

 

[beekay414]

Hynes' answer was Miles Wood? Really? When Blake Coleman is staring you right in the friggin' face?

This dude is as clueless as it gets.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Those lines are spicy, I'm very excited to see how they do
