GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (15-7-2, 32 Pts) vs. St. Louis Blues (10-12-1, 21 Pts), 7 PM, MSGSN2

[Oneiro]

I've pumped Foote's tires before and I definitely don't just think he's up because of his last name. I think he's a lot more of an NHL style player than a lot of the Utica guys we've seen, from Willman to Dawling.

But yeah, his last showing was not very good and he needs to do more with the opportunity. This is probably the last go with NJ. He'll probably get another shot elsewhere because of his dad but it's now or never for the big time.

Foote two goals tonight confirmed

 

[Dylan9z9]

Me three. The dispensary in Boonton is wonderful, if anyone is nearby. Opened a few months back and is never busy.

There is like 4 or 5 or more dispensaries in Rockaway a stones thrown away from me

Dowling can skate and play some defense. That's all I need for "NHL style" when it comes to fill in guys. Bowers is doing that too. Foote doesn't provide either of that.

St. Louis has won against the Stars, Leafs twice, Canes, Lightning and Rangers so far this year. They're not that bad of a team. Entirely possible to lose against them tonight. The team looks good though so 1 loss won't change how I feel about the group since the Detroit game.

 

[Guttersniped]

TFW a winning streak forces you to ride or die with the most random GDT theme in ages. George Of The Jungle train has no breaks.

We need to go on a heater so @Better Call Sal has to keep making GDT with this dumb movie (which I admittedly never saw).

Foh with these tempered expectations

Were never losing again

 

[Emperoreddy]

Want this one. It's time for the team to go streaking and I want to go into Turkey Day in 1st

 

[Guttersniped]

Mac is probably a better option.

You’re definitely the President of the Nolan Foote Haters Club. (Not a criticism, just an observation.)

That's loser talk. On the other hand they've lost to the Habs, Sens, Flyers, Isles and have a 47% xG. They suck. Go smoke them.

 

[Emperoreddy]

At some point as a really good team we need to win 4 in a row.

Now is as good a time as any to do that

Not loser talk, just kinda weirded out how every single game seems to be this must win game and a single loss is seen as a representation of the team. Of course I want them to win and they should win, I believe we have a better team.

Is marijuana legal in NJ?

Indeed!

Lucky! I was driving like 25 minutes to Maplewood but boonton is much closer to Morristown.

 

[Hisch13r]

I didn’t realize Cotter’s shot rate was so low. Only 32 shots this year

I’m really scraping the barrel for gifs to the point I’m making my own from YouTube clips.

It is certainly a dumb movie in a lot of respects, but I’ve grown to appreciate it again watching it with my oldest boy. And honestly, it has plenty of moments that make me laugh out loud as an adult. You can do worse for an hour and a half. . The love story is sweet too #hopelessromantic.

You take back that slander right now!

George of the Jungle is an exemplar of the highest form of the art, and I will hear no arguments to the contrary.

 

[Dr Aidonis Bison]

As an Aussie, I'll also be forced to cheer for Nathan Walker tonight.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Get Theo on the 4th line. He looks ready to go

Yeah I’m expecting this to be a close one tonight. Blues are not as slow and plodding as the Preds are and have some good talent in spots up front. Feeling a 3-2, 4-3 kinda game

 

[Bleedred]

Not too sure where this over the top Foote hate is coming from. I don't think he's a great player or anything but I don't think he's been as bad as people have said here.

I think he has been as bad as people have said he's been, but only this year and what's he played? 2 games?

He's been good in the past years in call ups and he's not MacDermid, so I can't complain too much about him being in.

But I did think he was pretty bad in the 2 games he played or at least the last game. Historically he's been a fine call up at the NHL level though.

5.9 per 60 at 5 on 5. Mercer is at 5.08 per 60. Noesen 4.7

I knew Mercer and Noesen’s were low. I’ve talked about those in the past. I hadn’t paid attention go Cotter’s

I was a bit of a Footie Pajama Truther, before he missed most of last season, but that was a big blow to his development.

I’m not thrilled that he only got 12 games in Utica before his current call-up but they didn’t have much else to choose from.

Utica forwards have either been dealing with injuries (Beckman, Hardman) or not scoring (just about everyone else).

A lot of Foote’s 9 pts (4G 5A) in 12 GP was on the PP (2 PPG 4 PPA) so he wasn’t a exactly a great call-up candidate but Halonen was the only other guy with any scoring when it happened.

And Halonen had 7 pts (5G 2A) in 13 GP, but with only 1 EV goal (plus 3 PPG & 1 SHG) and 1 EV assist (plus 1 PPA).

I can’t tell if Cotter is actually good yet but I definitely like him as a player. He might be more of a great 4th liner that can stick on other lines if we need him to.
