DevilinLA Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 YES! Finally, Andy Greene gets a chance to reach his potential of being a true offensive defensman for this team. He was the best Devils defenseman in ALL of those THREE games last year. He just hasn't been given enough of a chance..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Good news as I don't like Peters' play anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you're not even gonna let him get in a game before getting on him this year? C'mon now. Even you gotta admit Cory Murphy wasn't exactly lighting things up and the change from him to Greene can't hurt. I am a little surprised that Murphy's coming out in the game against TB though. Thought he's at least get a chance to try to stick it to his old team first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an away game, they're also more comfortable going up against them in their building than ordinary players are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty_is_better30 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 yeah andy greene is in thank you he i think he deserves to play also thank god peters is sitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm surprised Murphy is sitting against his former teams but I think it made sense going into the seasons to rotate Greene and Murphy for a large part of the season to see what both offer. Plus, they're both smaller so this will save wear and tear on their bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prucenterrules Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thank You!! No Peters. I'd much rather have Halischuk in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I am a little surprised that Murphy's coming out in the game against TB though. Thought he's at least get a chance to try to stick it to his old team first. It's still a possibility Saturday I do think Murphy can help but he looked tentative offensively the first two games, like he was more worried about being burned on the back end. Maybe sitting out a game or three helps get him back to what he was in the preseason and late last year. At least we got the real waste out of the lineup in the enforcer who won't fight.

SatansDevils Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It should be Mottau the fvck out instead of Murphy. Don't need Peters for Tampa Bay either, so that is a good move by Lemaire. Halischuk hopefully will show us something tonight in the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 As long as we're bitching about the defense (something I'm fairly sure we'll be doing often this year), why the hell is Lemaire still using the same pairings Sutter used? Can we please put Martin with White and Mottau with Oduya or vice versa and get a puck-mover with a defensive guy please? I don't get it at all.

brickwall30 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 hahahahahaha I'm as happy as the next guy about Peters being sat for Halischuk (not so much because he's awful but b/c i want to see more of matt), but he really has a knack for good nicknames. PL3 = "The Hyphenater" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I was really hoping a new coach would break up the pairings. I wouldn't mind experimenting with some new pairings early on in the season to see what works well.

Maybe sitting out a game or three helps get him back to what he was in the preseason and late last year. At least we got the real waste out of the lineup in the enforcer who won't fight. Murphy did look tentatitve, because he knew that his coach was the type that would bench him after only 2 games. He will never make an offensive impact if he has to play in terror of benching his entire time here. Mike green turns the puck over probably more than any other dman, and probably gives up more odd man rushes than any other dman, but you live with it cause of what he can do. If murphy does that even once he's probably gone. Tough to pinch in and join the rush under those circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
