Disclaimer: I wanted to put together the GDT last night but would have had to of posted it before 12:00am and didn't wanna even get involved with that. When I woke up this morning I fully expected to see a GDT and was amazed one hadn't been made yet, but had to get ready for work. Now I'm at work with limited resources for GDT'edness so as the day goes on and defintely before 6:30 pregame with all of your help, we will have the most amazing GDT NJDEVS has ever seen!

Let's Go Devils!

LEEEEEET'S GOOOO DEEEVIIIIILS!

[Coorslight]

Browsing two different Islanders forums looking for their potential lines, I've seen people talking about no Parise and possible Kovy won't be in/hurt/tweeked something? I don't recall reading anything about that.

Also, where's my line predictions!?! Whoever guesses the correct lines first before they're officially announced wins this cupcake!



Also, a big congratulations and pat on the back from everyone else.

[MadDog2020]

Feels good to say this again... LET'S GO DEVILS!!!!

For the Devils I'm guessing:
Zubrus - Zajac - Kovalchuk
Tedenby - Elias - Clarkson
Bernier - Josefson - Matteau (fun line in my opinion)
Barch - Gionta - Carter

Defeintly playing: Greene, Fayne, Salvador, Zidlicky
Not sure: Volchenkov, Larsson, Tallinder, Harrold

Probably Volchenkov and Harrold of those two. I personally wanted Tallinder and Larsson but oh well.

edit: Thinking about it I would be suprised if we dress 7 defensemen including Harrold and Harrold basically goes up (Barch/Janssen being scratches)
for a 4th line of:
Bernier - Gionta - Harrold


For the Islanders top line without a doubt: Moulson - Tavares- Okposo

Beyond Streit the Isles defense is really quite poor.

[gardenstatepkwy]

I want that cupcake. I'd settle for any cupcake right now. It's breakfast time haha. I've never been one to speculate or make my own lines so this is really my first crack at it and I'm sure i'll be wayyyy off:

Elias - Zajac - Kovalchuk
Matteau - Zubrus - Clarkson
Tedenby - Josefson - Gionta
Janssen - Carter - Bernier

LETS GO DEVILS!!

[Coorslight]

For the Devils I'm guessing:
Zubrus - Zajac - Kovalchuk
Tedenby - Elias - Clarkson
something with Bernier, Gionta, Carter, Matteau, Josefson, and Barch/Janssen

For the Islanders top line without a doubt: Moulson - Tavares- Okposo

Islanders defense is kinda...crap.

I added Islanders potential lines to first post that I found on some Islanders board somewhere lol

I think 3rd line will be Carter - Gionta - Bernier
4th line would have to round out to Matteau - Josefson - Janssen, I think they said Barch wouldn't be playing.
Defense I have idea, TG was saying the Tallinder/Larsson pairing has been playing as the "4th" pairing all camp. They better not sit those two...
