CHIP72 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Devils are doing a viewing party in the arena for game 5 but of course it just had to be in the 3pm slot. The Red Bulls play at home at 3:30pm. So damn annoying. Might wait and see what happens tonight first but damn it would have been perfect if one of these games was at 7pm. I’m a 76ers fan and they are playing at 2:30 PM on Saturday, so I’ll probably be doing some channel flipping (or more likely watch one game on TV and stream the other on one of my computers).The good thing about having two games of interest overlap is being able to convince your casual sports fan girlfriend you only need to make a 3 1/2 hour sports watching commitment rather than a 7 or 8 hour sports watching commitment (including the brief break between games), LOL.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 So do we think Hynes shakes things up again... We have some players that look to be playing on tired ( if not dead) legs... Noeson has been great but he looked life less for much of the game, playing Stafford at this point is point less and maybe we need to sit Wood or Boyle... Maybe give Gibson, Bratt & Anderson a chance to play??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclc79 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 And who plays for Sami and covers for him on the PP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the scheduling didn't work out for me for this series, either. I work nights Monday-Thursday, so I was totally boxed out of going to a first round game. I thought seriously about flying down to Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aclc79 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Is Mueller that much in the dog house that he is not even in the rotation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wind up sitting around at like 2pm, I may jump in the car and head to the arena, just to try to be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger27 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Not over yet, we beat them in the season series, we need to get that PP going, we gave em game 4 in my opinion, PP set up and shoot the fvcking puck, park Maroon right out front. Stop with fancy passes, if Sami is out play Santini, Edited April 20, 2018 by Gunslinger27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It's Mueller time. Santini probably a lil out of sync. Gibby might draw in this game in place of Stafford.. You see when Hynes shortens the bench who he counts on. For some reasonI feel pretty good about tomorrow. That there will be a game 6.

Nicomo Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I’d much rather see Bratt than Gibbons. Both were ice cold the entire second half of the season, but Bratt is going to be an important piece moving forward, might as well let him get a taste of the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would let Bratt have a game. If nothing else, it gives him the experience and lets him know the team thinks he's important to the future. Which he may or may not be, I'm just saying, it'll feel better for him if he gets in there rather than being the guy that never got a chance.

jagknife Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I know it’s uncharatrristic for this team, but we have to take the body to Tampa and do it pretty much nonstop. If we start hitting their sainted children, we’ll take Game 5 tomorrow. Let (read: Force) Boyle go out and level someone, I don’t care who it is, but absolutely plant them. Turn the crowd and then strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Am I the only one that is 100% finished with the Stafford experiment? At least Grabner brings speed other teams need to respect while he is on the ice and he can make plays with that speed away from the puck to open ice for other players. Stafford brings zilch. Throw Grabner back in or give Bratt a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not Stafford then I suppose Grabner. Or Anderson. Or a cardboard cutout. Just anyone besides Stafford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee Bratt will at least gets SOG instead of whiffing or flubbling perfect passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think his compete level would be very high. But at this point, it would be good to get a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on the Devils for doing a no brainer trade to get this done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
