You know what? Just because of Scrubs, we are going to win tonight. Bravo.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Love the GDT! The gifs were great.

Go Devils! Time to end the losing skid and beat Detroit. Come out strong and finish strong.

 

[JK3]

We need to get back on track big time. Hopefully one of these turds will step up.

 

[It Takes 2 To Tango]

Love the Travolta GIFs

 

[Better Call Sal]

Welp, no Patty after all. Per TG, he tweaked his knee in practice. Merrill is in for Gelinas.

 

[njdevil26]

With or without Patty... that bottom six is.. HORRIBLE.

 

[njdevils1982]

With or without Patty... that bottom six is.. HORRIBLE.

add tlusty to that list, his 4 points in 22 games is the exact same pace as yayo, kalinin, and tootoo's 6 points in 32-34 games……15 points over 82 games. ….most of the work is done by 5 guys

bottom seven more like it

For some reason I like Tlusty... which I know is irrational when you look at the stats.

More than half our forward lineup is useless and/or offensively inept. Hopefully that changes next season.

Yup, it'd be nice if we could get a consistent winger with that 2nd line. The bulk of the load is definitely being carried by the top 5.

I still think Tlusty has it in him to turn it around, but he definitely hasn't shown that capability as a Devil yet.

 

[tr83]

At least the lineup will be faster without Patty.

I think they're going to get skunked. The last game, on the road, before a break which they haven't had much of over the past month.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Ugh...

Tuesdays

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Howard again - we got a shot if it goes to OT! lol

 

[tr83]

Ugh...

Tuesdays

Oh yeah, another reason for the thumping we're going to endure tonight

 

[Better Call Sal]

Hey, we won last Tuesday!

 

[liquid1988]

Officially the best GDT of the year! Only because Scrubs is one of my favorite shows ever created! I predict another #TypicalTuesday game tonight.

"Don't worry JD, it says on my phone that the ostrich is a docile creator, but it also says its kick can kill a man"

 

[tr83]

I did forget to mention...

Great GDT! I love Scrubs!

 

[JK3]

We've won only one game in Detroit since 1996 and it's a Tuesday. This should go well lol.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Hey, we won last Tuesday!

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Frustrating to see Matteau as a healthy scratch again.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Frustrating to see Matteau as a healthy scratch again.

I'd rather he play than Tootoo.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I'd rather he play than Tootoo.

Congregate all the underwhelming youngsters and make them give us reason to keep them around.

Give me Kalinin-Josefson-Matteau and let that marinate for a stretch of games.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Skip the MSG pregame - just air this on loop until the puck drops.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Still like the Scrubs GDT, but I feel like it's a bad omen. Plus it's Tuesday...
