mfitz804 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Ok, so the whole “must win to get in” thing is over. That’s great. But we still have stuff to prove to a lot of people, some who we may see in the Playoffs. So let’s not sit back, let’s fvck their sh!t up.

nessus Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If we win this game, we'll have the longest win streak going into the postseason (tied with WPG if they win their last game too). Although seeded low, we'll be one of the hottest teams in the league, while having faced some of the league's best teams in the last month. That really says a lot about what this team can do in the postseason. It reminds me a bit of the 2012 team, with how they really found their groove at the end of the season. A win vs. the Caps will have us feeling great as we enter the first round. LGD! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Please nobody get hurt. Still remember the Andreychuk nightmare of 97 and Sykora's bad injury in 2002 where he could barely skate. I wouldn't even have Kinkaid make the trip just have him rest in Jersey. Start Appleby or Schneider who cares.

Not that playing at home is as big a deal in hockey as it is in basketball or football, but if the Devils still have a chance at the #2 division record and home ice advantage in the 1st round, I think the Devils have to play Kinkaid against the Caps in the regular season finale.Related to the above, Pittsburgh plays their last regular season game tonight (Friday 4/6), so we’ll know if the Devils have a shot at the #2 division spot at the beginning of Saturday’s game.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That owner just sucked the life out of that franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aclc79 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 But is that really worth it at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 As Abbey put it this is the last day of school lineup lol...no Hall, Zajac, Palm or Vat and Cory in for KK. Stafford, Hayes, Bratt and Severson all back in the lineup. No MoJo unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclc79 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) They all have earned the day off. We will see what these others can do. These reserves may yet be needed as the playoffs continue. Do we know the line combinations yet? Edited April 7, 2018 by aclc79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificDevil Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Good plan to rest some key players, sounds like it was Hall’s call to sit, at the end of the day does it really matter Tampa, Boston, Pittsburg, CBJ, Crapitals in the first round?

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Fine with this. This team and Hynes have earned the benefit of the doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Of course it’s good to rest them; but with Washington playing all of their key players besides Oshie we’re looking at a guaranteed loss. Which means we’ll face either Tampa or Boston in the first round.... god I hope it’s not Boston. honestly, the thing that sucks the most is this really hurts hall’s Hart chances. I think a Giroux may be the front runner now....... ew The Caps have absolutely nothing to gain, so not resting players is stupid. I’d rest everyone.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we won there’s a good chance we face Pittsburgh, a team we’ve beaten a few times this season and match up well with. theres a big difference between playing Pitt and playing Boston, a team who would almost certainly sweep us. This was my mentality coming into this thread but @Colorado Rockies 1976 makes a good point, I'm just going to give Hynes the benefit of the doubt, he's earned it.

mfitz804 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 I hope Hall was given a choice. If he wanted to be out there to try for his 40th, I’d have given him reduced minutes to try to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Btw, now that Hall is out, he officially finishes with the 2nd highest P/GP in Devils team history at 1.22. Pavel Zacha holds on to the record at 2 points per game in 2015-16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
