GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (26-15-5, 57 Pts) @ Toronto Maple Leafs (27-16-2, 56 Pts), 7 PM, MSGSN2

[Better Call Sal]

The boys have been playing back to their previous rate before the holidays since they returned home

And we've gotta stick to that process. If we do, the goals will come.

With that short return home out of the way we're back on the road to the North tonight, and it's time we return the favor earlier this year for Chief Keefe's sake.

While we'll be without our beloved Nose, it appears they'll be down John Tavares for the foreseeable future with him being placed on IR today. Both teams will be banged up a bit heading into this one.

With all of the preambles out of the way, it's time to take it to these frauds. Let's f***ing go.

Bill's in it to win it tonight, so we should be too.

#18 Ondrej Palat (A) - #86 Jack Hughes (A) - #63 Jesper Bratt

Late edit to add Bill's tweet about rocking his Dano socks for tonight's game. This better mean a W tonight.

And for those who didn't see, there were reports that Halonen was recalled yesterday. Hopefully he is indeed in the lineup for Macdermid tonight, but simply an educated guess by me for now.

Team confirmed it earlier this morning it looks like:

 

[Bcap88]

No Tavares

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

LGD!

 

[TheUnseenHand]

No Tavares

Which helps a lot. He's always noticeable against us.

[glenwo2]

Ok so people absolutely were playing sick the other night.

And the fact they managed to gut out a point out of that game makes it even more impressive in retrospect.

 

[Devils731]

Argh.

This was obvious watching the team play last game and Keefe’s post game comments but there was some discussion in the prior game day thread that it was just “cope”.

 

[The Wumpus]

Toronto next week

 

[Mgd31]

More illnesses/game time decisions? Meh, try and get a point I guess.
