Stanley Cup here we come!
I see the hex Lou put on Kovy is working. He may be out for a month after colliding with Poni.
Or could this be the reason?!
Ponikarovsky is a Lou Lamoriello sleeper agent programmed to subvert Kovalchuk at every turn in his post-Devils career. |

Volchenkov and Harold pairing is horrible. I do not understand what the coaching staff sees in harold. He is an AHL defensemen. Fayne and Urbom should be instead of harold and volchenkov ... |

I like these lines. I also think that Henrique is better at Center but if Adam is not moved to winger than Lotki would have sit.
I think each line has a speed forward: Brunner, Henrique, Lokti and Gio, which is needed.
I think either Urbom is sent down or Fayne is traded to get to 23. Not that I want Fayne traded.

The defense is no-name but solid, but we already know what Fayne is capable of and Urbom seems like he has some good upside. Losing Fayne wouldn't be a big deal.
That said, I'm excited for this team in the regular season. I think they'll be way more competitive than people are expecting.

I'm excited for that third line. They should be able to capitalize o. Teams with limited depth. |

Fayne and Urbom don't have enough speed or agility to be a competent pairing. Especially against a team like Pittsburgh....Crosby, Malkin, Neal, Kunitz and Jokinen would be able to take them wide all night long.....and thats gonna create a ton of new angles and passing lanes.
With Harrold's agility, he may be able cut some of that off.
My guess would be he's paired with Volchenkov bc/ they want to use their biggest defenseman to make up for Harrold's lack of size and physicality. Volchenkov takes up a lot of space when you try to pull the puck back to the middle. |

I wouldn't pair Urbom and Fayne together. |

It's style of play; Harrold can contribute offensively and move the puck where the other two guys are more stay-at-home, and the queue for stay-at-homers is long on the team. |

Based on preseason play i'd have to say Urbom moves the puck better than Harrold and Volchenkov. I do not think Harold does anything well. He skates better than some guys but thats about it. |

I don't think Fayne is a top 4 defenseman. At least with the way it's set up now Harrold and Volchenkov play 10 minutes even strength and the rest of the game is on Greene, Salvador, Larsson, and ....Zidlicky. |

I agree but i worry about Sal and Zid playing in the top 4 as well. Much rather Fayne in that position over them. Zid should not be relied upon in the top 4 at all he's so bad defensively. Really hope deboer and stevens know what they are doing. |

Last year, Brodeur got destroyed by the Isles and destroyed the Penguins (other than the first game).
I think I'd rather Brodeur plays the Penguins. Tavares has Brodeur's number for some reason. |

The Islanders always play the Devils well. There's no way around it. An afternoon game against the Isles is as good as a loss.

These small goalie pads are making a difference. So many long, low shots finding the net. I don't know why they didn't do this years ago. All these hokey things to increase the offense when this is the one thing that they should have done all along. I think it's going to have an impact. If long, low shots from players with a little time and space find the net you can't collapse as readily unless you have all 5 guys in sync with a big goalie. Guess who that helps? |

Watching these goalies play with the new pads, I think I'd rather Schneider play all 82. |
