GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (50-21-8, 108 Points, 2nd in Metro) @ Boston Bruins (61-12-5, 127 Points, 1st in Atlantic), 8 PM, ABC/ESPN+

[RNCDevil]

Can you sticky Bleedred's post on Zacha and agree never to talk about him again? It feels definitive.

I want to talk about Jack Hughes and how Bratt and Timo should be salivating at signing a deal to play with an incandescent player a couple years from his prime. I want to talk about Bahl, Dougie, El Capitaine, the Tatar Tot re-birth...There are 20+ amazing story lines with the Devils...Collecting of 2 of 3 Hughes gems...etc...

Haula is coming back you can book it

To versatile, can play wing, can play center, can play top 6 and can play bottom 6. He is really what you need for a young team still developing

With that being said I think majority of both bruins and devils fan would do this trade again 100 times over

With his scoring normalizing after that long early-season drought, I think I'm fine with this. He makes a very good third line defensive center, and he should be reasonably inexpensive to extend.

Multipoint game from Jack and a well fought game please.

I think Jack can make it to 100. Crazy.

 

[Eggtimer]

Is that their full team then?

Nope . Krijec or however the hell youmspell his name is out .

 

[Forge]

…as for Haula, I won’t miss him next year

Agreed. But mostly because I'm pretty confident he'll be back

 

[BostonDevil]

If he takes a pay cut to stay, sure, but I can see him taking the money somewhere else. By taking the money, I mean making the same salary as he is today.

The books are tight in NJ these days. This is what happens when you win and I’m all for it.

Jack is probably going to have some extra juice today considering the record is in reach and his brother is finally here

…as for Haula, I won’t miss him next year

A team not stirred is no team at all

 

[TheNeutralZone]

Haula will be worth his salary next year.

Severson? Probably not.

I don't think he's going to get more with the cap staying flat. The free agent class is pretty weak, so it's possible someone gives him a decent chunk, but I expect similar to what he's getting. Wouldn't be surprised if the devils give him 2 years to get him on a slightly lower aav

If he gets multiple points tonight then I put the odds of 100 points really high.

 

[TrufleShufle]

If he were to get 5 tonight, I would put money on him hitting 100.

Canes lose in regulation. Win and we are in first (still a game out of hand)

This one just got massive

It really is a big game now.

...to the sabres

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Haula, Zacha, Hall or Mercer GWG seems fitting in this game. Huge result in BUF/CAR, go make it count

 

[Billdo]

...to the sabres

Buffalo is fighting, Levi looks legit. They're not a push over.

We can't lay an egg Tuesday. Fan appreciation night and a game with big implications possibly.

 

[PWiz30]

How bout them Sabres?

 

[MasterofGrond]

Need a dub tonight

 

[Blender]

Buffalo gave us a chance to put us in a much better position with a win tonight.

 

[Drivingrain]

Just bought my tickets for this game! Going to be there with my brother tonight. Hoping to see a win and Hughes breaking the franchise points record!

Checking the ticket sites, the nose-bleeds are $250 for tonight's game.

For reference, Fenway Park for Opening Day last week started at $20 on the day of (though the wind chill was in the 30s)

This reminds me when I was in college in Boston there was a huge controversy because a guy won a "Best clam chowder" contest and all he did was use a can College Inn clam chowder and added some fresh clams and pork belly. They debated whether to take the title away and the Boston Globe actually wrote about this.

I don't know what it is like today, I left 26 years ago but when I was there, Boston had to be the worst culinary city in America. Everywhere I went the food absolutely sucked...after making this comment out loud my wife's mother took me to a whole bunch of places on Newbury Street to prove me wrong....still to this very day, the only time I have ever sent back a dish.
Garbage.

North End had some good things , but as someone who is half Italian from NJ the last food type I would want to explore is Italian. Providence at the time seemed to have much better food than Boston.

The source of the problem is Boston basically sucks, unless you wanted a smaller, inferior asshole version of NYC. Yes, I’m bias and I don’t care.

The #1 culinary city in the US in New Orleans though and it’s not even close. I’m not much of a foodie, so I don’t care if people disagree with that either. (It’s true tho.)

I said the last 3 home games were must wins. They won the first 2 and they need to win the last home game too.

I want a 24-13-4 home record, that’s a .634 Win %.

Our overall Win % is .684 and on the road it’s .744 (27-8-4), so .634 is as low as I want to go for a home record.

Seriously, we were 23-14-3 (.612) at home in 2017-18, when we were 44-29-9 (.591) overall and 21-15-5 (.573) on the road.

I went a better home record this season than the one we had in 2017-18.

It would be very nice to win both away games too, but those are less important to me.

All the good New England food is in Maine.

I also randomly had the worst meal of my life in Boston.
