I’d prefer Luke be scratched too. However I’m just happy our young defensemen are now eligible for breathers/breaks/learning from the upstairs suite. Added veteran to take his place is a bonus and will likely help our overall defensive game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 What's the deal with Palat? Hurt? Or....healthy scratch? If the latter, I get that the guy has been a disappointment this year, but you can't start Tierney over him if he's healthy. Tierney brings next to nothing. I'm really trying to understand the thought process with putting Jack at wing. Is it maybe to take some of the pressure off him? Maybe he's not excelling at face-offs and Haula is better? I dunno. I just think with Jack speed and puck handling you want him going north to south as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re trying to protect Jack from further injury, but as he’s not effective as a wing, I don’t know what they think he’ll be able to contribute playing there. If his shoulder is a concern, then it’s probably best to shut him down. The Devils aren’t making the playoffs, so there’s nothing for Jack to play for. Better he use this time to get healthy and prepare for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if it's the equivalent of a "maintenance game", I can live with it. Nemec is going to be here a long time, and was up here ahead of schedule to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better he use this time to get healthy and prepare for next season. I suppose that could be it, but I don't really get how playing him at wing makes him less vulnerable to injuries. Instead of taking more open ice hits, he'll be taking hits into and along the boards. Hell, you could make the argument he's more at risk in the wing, because it probably means he has to go into the corners too, which is always a dangerous area for hits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 If they are trying to protect Jack that much from further injury and he has an injury thats that bad then they should just shut him down. Maybe they wanna just give it another week until we are even more toast. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green’s unlikely to be with the Devils beyond April 15, so there’s also no reason for Jack to have any sort of relationship with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) 2 hours ago, Satans Hockey said: I actually like those lines. Tierney in the third line though highlights that Fitz has neglected his depth since the McLeod departure. I know that’s Palat’s spot but Tierney shouldn’t be a next man up. He’s not even an NHL player. Edited March 5 by devlman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting him on the wing allows Jack to still lead a rush the other way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
