GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (4-2-0, 8 Pts) @ Ottawa Senators (2-1-0, 4 Pts), 7 PM, MSG

[Emperoreddy]

It’s entirely possible, and it would be normal.

Could be 10 or 15, but it's going to take some work.

Luke returning is going to be huge in helping smooth the breakout

I think there’s a bit of washing last year’s stench off that is happening. You can see guys get into funks and start missing the mark. Carolina was a punch in the mouth after a dominant win so you might be seeing the boys sulking a bit. If that’s the case they need to work through it and I’m sure they’ll get there. It helps having a goalie keep you in games when you struggle.

But the back end is a big part of it. Dillon shouldn’t be playing as high as he is. Dougie is still working his way back from a serious injury. It’s not a huge shock they’re struggling at times. Siegs and Kovacevic are a reliable shutdown pair right now. Then you have a righty rookie playing his offside with a sophomore. That’s a tough go but they’ve done pretty darn well going 4-2 out of the gate. Hughes and Pesce returning will really help for deployment.

Pesce has been doing it for years and Canes really missed him last season when he was injured. Dillon was a bottom/middle pair dman his whole career.

even if we roll with Luke-Pesce as top pair, we really just need to lesser Dillon's minutes and exposure. although I'd really like to split that Dillon-Dougie pair, they look slow as shit, loses a lot of board battles and offensively is just dougie shooting with no moviment or creativity

Dillon was a wrecking ball in the beginning wtf happened to that?

ESPN+ is insufferable, every commercial break is nothing but political ads.

i always thought money shots in eyes can't be fun

That's why I turned out at intermission. It's terrible.

The logical long term move is splitting Dougie and Dillion up. Maybe they are waiting until some fresh bodies join the lineup

You should be thankful

ewww wrinkled shirt.

My iron's broken

 

[Richer's Ghost]

if you're still ironing, you need to discover the magic of a handheld steamer. Seriously... it's 1000% better unless you need to make creases.

Even worse I'll be personally offended Keefe isn't making the adjustments I have decided are the way to go.

I will be writing a strongly worded letter. I think I still have one of Lou's messenger raven's in storage

 

[SJinNewJersey]

If he spent less time on skin and hair care and more time on the ice we would be winning.

His handsomeness clearly distracting our other guys too

He must use that Genucal crap that Dano and Erica were peddling last year.

I know he did very well in Carolina. But I read over the last two seasons he was losing foot speed; tack on the injury he suffered and id be lying if I said Im not concerned about it

 

[mdj12784]

PP time!

 

[Richer's Ghost]

SHOW ME CASEY GOAL!

 

[HersheyBob27]

Tough period for casey. His confidence looks to have taken a hit. Second guessing himself

 

[Cheddabombs]

So help me god if they don't score here

 

[Emperoreddy]

So help me god if they don't score here

Strongly worded letterx2

 

[mdj12784]

Cap just missed

 

[Emperoreddy]

And I know they still use the ravens because we are a poverty franchise and no way they got the capital for those fancy internet machines

 

[Richer's Ghost]

not again...

 

[Devs3cups]

Good PP there
