Devlin Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'll try to give him the benefit of the doubt, since he needs to grow into the role.First full game in his new role...He is ishing his pants! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm willing to give Daneyko time to grow into the role. I remember it taking Chico some time to get comfortable when he jumped in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Successful preseason imo. Schneider played well. The young d all looked pretty good and of course, no one got hurt. Edited October 5, 2014 by SMantzas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Larsson was very impressive tonight. I hope we see more of that this season. I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me (including DeBoer), but I really hope Gionta isn't in the starting lineup on Thursday. He's a fine 4th liner, but other options seem much better, and he lacks any raw talent. With Carter and Bernier as his linemates, he seemed to fit very well. Now that the last spot is going to be between Ruutu and Brunner, I would like to have a player there who has a bit better vision, passes well and can shoot (and is also in position more often than not). It seems like the Devils are going with 4 lines that can all score this season, so I'm not seeing why Gionta is the best option here. I suppose I understand that Tootoo, Gomez, and Carter aren't likely to take a spot on the 4th line since the Devils probably will avoid signing someone if possible. But Josefson, who has a similar contract to Gionta, seems like a better fit for that line. Too bad he didn't have a very good preseason this year. I did think he looked good with Brunner and Ruutu though. Also, remember when we were going into a season (was it just last season?) with CBGB as our third line? Glad that's not happening again.

coldply123 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Ruutu already has a spot. He's not getting moved or released. He's far superior to the other players mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubie#8 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I love Ruutu's game, his contract was meh but whatever. I see a lot of value in him for this team especially when Zubrus is gone and Clowe and others get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Rugitoo line looks good Edited October 5, 2014 by Guadana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLL765 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Rugitoo line looks good Gionta must look so tiny out there with those guys though. I mean the figurines, not Ruutu and Tootoo lol. I really shouldn't say anything since I'm probably just as short as he is, but I'm also not a professional hockey player going up against 6'2" 225lb opponents every night. Actually...that's just another reason I shouldn't be talking, d'oh. Edited October 5, 2014 by ATLL765 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I only saw the first 2 periods but I wasn't impressed with Larsson at all but for one play - Hagelin dumped it in his corner and went to go get it. I of course expected Hagelin to win the puck clean, since Larsson is slow, but Larsson managed to skate stride for stride with him and made life difficult for him. Other than that, Larsson criticized his own play in the post game and I think he's right - his zone coverage was real bad, at least in the first half of the game.

DJ Eco Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Heard a lot of the "It's just preseason!" after the game coupled with the Devils fans' "Then why'd you come?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that he was terrible in his own end. I think he is really feeling the heat from Seversen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
