GDT: Your New Jersey Devils vs. Calgary Flames, 7 PM, MSGSN

[Bleedred]

Must win

Wins over Vegas and Colorado don’t mean shit when we can’t even beat teams below us. Those wins don’t help us when we can’t even win other games.

And we’ve lost to plenty of teams like that this year. Especially at home and especially in the Western Conferenxd.

There is only one appropriate nickname for Sharangovich:

 

[Better Call Sal]

When I took my buddy to his first game last year, coincidentally against Calgary, he dubbed Rango “Sharango-f*** yourself” and I thought that was enjoyable.

 

[MVP Zacha]

The only proper name is Santagovich.

 

[None Shall Pass]

OH?

 

[Bcap88]

Hughes getting demoted or Holtz getting a promotion lol

 

[theoptimist]

Vitek again. Good play Ruff.

 

[forceten]

Hughes getting demoted or Holtz getting a promotion lol

Hughes returns as our 4C. Hischier is obviously entrenched at 3C, so there's the best spot for him.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Hughes getting demoted or Holtz getting a promotion lol

holtz getting a promotion so calgary can see how he plays with good players when we trade him there

 

[Devils731]

Sharky is bad. Do better, Calgary.

Sharangovich-y

 

[None Shall Pass]

I actually like these forward lines??????

 

[MasterofGrond]

thank god jack is back

hope he looks good, we need him badly

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Toffoli-Hughes-Holtz whew boy

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Hopefully Vitek can swallow up those Yegor Shots and please no rebounds!

 

[Devils731]

I actually like these forward lines??????

I would normally be a little fearful of a Toffoli-Hughes-Holtz line in the defensive zone but I assume they’re going to get the easiest matchups on the team and probably not huge minutes. So hopefully that works out.

Also, good for Hatakka for playing well enough that the coaches can’t rotate him out.

 

[Nico Hischier]

 

[longislanddevil]

Whoa…the big news here is Holtz with Jack. lol….did I wake up from a dream? I feel a little aroused. In fact, I need a shower.

 

[Zippy316]

I think Amanda wrote the lines incorrectly. Should be:

Palat - Hischier - Bratt
Meier - Haula - Mercer
Lazar - Nosek - Bastian
Toffoli - Hughes - Holtz

In all seriousness, like these lines a lot at home. Hughes should see a healthy dose of Huberdeau - Sharangovich - Kuzmenko to keep him away from Kadri or the Backlund line.

 

[Better Call Sal]

We might finally be at full strength at forward again. That’s what I call depth up front.

Hot damn.

 

[Maine Fan]

The Devils need to be aggressive, the Flame's record is worse than the Devils but doesn't guarantee a win.

One at a time, Devils

From the lineup posted by Amanda it seems Jack is going to return as the 3C so I guess that pushes Hischier further down the lineup?

 

[Bcap88]

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Meh. I'd kinda like Toff out of the lineup for a few more games. Holtz and Jack is cool, but I'm not sure how Holtz and Toff on the same line is gonna work out.

The power play will get sexy hot again! Like to see Jack and luke set up a Miller Bomb. I know Dougie wasn't even on PP1 early this season but, having that option from up high. Difficult to kill!

#HoltzIsFree

Pump the breaks. You know when he socres he'll find Gorilla Glue all over his hockey pants.
