Nicomo Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Starting the thread now, as I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch the game live (I really hate day games). Probably the lines we can expect to see unless Zetterlund draws in for Boqvist. I continue to question Ruff having Holtz on the 4th line, and playing Smith instead of Bahl, but we’ll see. Sounds like Brunette was working on the power play at lot yesterday. Let’s keep this thing rolling. LGD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Ohh Bastian being hurt makes sense. I remember watching him play the other night and he was clearly struggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 LGMFD! Not so sure that Holtz playing with friggin’ McLeod is a good thing, but can’t really make much of a case for him deserving Top 6 minutes either. Feels like it’s only a matter of time before he’s back in Utica…at least he’ll get a lot more time there. Also feels more and more like it’s just not his time yet…especially when the team’s best five periods came when he wasn’t on the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Sharks suck and have been on the road for a while. I would love to see the Devils build on Thursday night and just run them out of the building today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadana Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Best time to start the game. LGD! Hope Hughes line will burn sharks today. Want to see Zetterlund in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Holtz on the 4th line doesn't make much sense to me either, my guess is it's Lindy trying to give him an appropriate amount of ice time (i.e. not taking away time from other guys who've earned it or been with the team longer), more than it is pairing him with complimentary linemates. I don't mind Smith over Back though. Smith had looked pretty good so far, using his body and making some decent plays. He's a veteran too, so I don't see any way they sit him. It wouldn't have made sense to bring him on board just to make him the 7th D-man. Hoping we can keep the good vibes flowing and string together a third straight win. I'd really like to see if we can play as solid as we did last game, both offensively and especially defensively. Let's Go Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s easily been our worst player through 4 games. And it’s not particularly close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I admittedly haven't been watching him like a hawk so it's entirely possible I've missed some things, but I don't particularly recall him making any major gaffes, but I can recall a couple solid defensive plays him knocking the puck away from opponents who would've had a good scoring chance, and I've also seen him use his body and be physical too. Regardless, I still don't see Ruff swapping him for Bahl just 4 games into the season. Dude is 33 years old, we brought him in for his veteran presence. He isn't sitting for an unproven 22yr old at this point in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the coaches also see these guys in practice, so I get there’s more to it, but I thought Bahl looked good against the Islanders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was at least one turnover right behind the net that directly led to a goal in the Flyers game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but I hope Ruff doesn’t fall too in love with doing that (rolling 3 lines that is). I don’t want Jack and Nico getting burned out. Especially when so much of our hopes are tied up in those 2 staying healthy. Edited October 22, 2022 by Nicomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Sharks hunting time. Show me the way to go home. I’m tired and I wanna go to bed. Well I had a little drink about an hour ago and it went straight to my head… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Audio on the MSG pregame is a full 2 seconds or so behind the picture. It’s like watching an old karate movie. EDIT: All my channels were. Rebooted and it’s fixed. I just assumed since the game audio is always off.
