All I remember about Grabner when he played for Isles and Rangers is breakaway goals. He's a scorer not a gritty player we needed on our 4th line. Given 2 fast and skilled linemates he can find his game. I also think he wasn't happy about the trade.

Just finished watching my DVR. Stellar game by Cory and the worst overall game of the series by the team. We expected the gutsy battle and they simply didn't show up although Cory kept them in the game till the last minute. On a positive note, that was hell of a season for a team that wasn't even thought to have a sniff of the playoffs. With all the improvement we are clearly the least talented team that made the playoffs. However, we didn't look all that bad against one of the best teams in NHL loaded with elite players. It's Taylor Hall who carried us into the playoffs and he should wear C next year. I'm sure Shero will be busy in off season and we'll be even better next year. I'm not ready to discuss trades and picks and I don't disagree with other posters who want Greene, Lovejoy, Hayes and Stafford out. Not sure about Moore, Gibbons and Grabner. Think Zajac should stay. Anyway, it was a good season fellas, the season that certainly exceeded the expectations. Go Devils.

There's neither enough talent, nor experience to elevate the game. We have only one player of this caliber - Taylor Hall. Nico is still a baby, talented, but baby. Zacha is an underachiever. Palms is inconsistent, Zaijac is a 3rd liner on a good team MoJo missed a lot - can't ask much of him, etc, etc, etc not to mention players who simply don't contribute like Stafford and Wood most of the time. The rest of the offense are 3-4 liners on their best day. Defense is a problem. Goaltending...frankly could be better. And still it's a series and I know they'll do their best to play at least one more game at the Rock this year.

Agree, and the PP is so predictable. Tampa D and Vasilevsky know exactly what we are going to do.

Exactly, and we almost never win the puck having 3 guys cut off down low

OK, can we play another strong 3rd pd? Go Devils.

Our offense is out of synch. Too many sloppy plays. Not lucky too.

Been invisible so far.

Another wasted PP...oh my...sigh.

Stripes are out of their skulls tonight.

Too many

That's the difference between these f...kers and us. Maroooooon?

Tampa is killing us with their skill, and we have to bounce back with our character. Let's go boys. The series is not over.

Yup it's Wednesday around 6:30pm. Get your beer ready.

That was a f..ng wild period. It's a series now fellas. I haven't seen Tampa so mad in a long while. So f..k them. Go Devils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
