He's the worst every day defenseman I've seen play for the Devils since Mottau. Good thing we have him signed for another 2 years.

Come on Vegas. Knowing ray we will protect him.

After tonight Merrill has reached the games required limit. Maybe we get lucky and Shero protects Greene, Severson Merrill?

Amazing how Lovejoy didn't clear that when he had the chance

Had the puck on his stick a good 4-5 seconds, was he trying to kill a few seconds by possessing it there? Either way awful play

If Merrill turns out to be a solid 5-6 dman I'll be happy, he's playing like he did his rookie year

Agreed, would much rather continue to hope he develops than waste anymore time watching Lovejoy, guy is on a 3 year contract paying him 2.6 mil per and he could easily be replaced by an AHLer. I had more faith in Mark Fayne.

Merrill is a Golden Knight. Lovejoy is a deadline trade.

Have they said anything about Greene tonight?

I know he practiced today so I believe he is close. This stollery guy is brutal. Why not bring up Scarlett. I feel like he's been in the minors forever

He's played very protected minutes, but so far Santini looks like a keeper.

Merrill- Santini

Need to find a way to miraculously ditch Lovejoy/Moore and find two 2nd pair defensemen through free agency

Not a lot to ask for at all.

Halfway through the game and Zajac, Henrique, Cammalleri and Zacha have yet to register a shot on goal.

Small victory. I have liked Zacha's game recently. He's not getting points but he is making plays

Oh hello Zacha

Thank Christ, maybe Zacha will get to 15 points by seasons end.

Never mind

Lovejoy to the rescue

Was hall benched? Didn't see him out there for awhile

I don't think I've seen him since he turned the puck over on the 2nd goal.

Just checked NHL.com, he's played 8:21 tonight lowest on the team.

One thing the devils do lead the NHL in is disallowed goals!!!

I like when they put him in a shooting position on pp he can shoot he just doesn't enough. Merrill I gotta give credit to has actually looked like a decent dman for the most part past couple weeks. I'm starting to hope we protect him.

But Moore's contract's so cheap. I'm torn between him and Merrill.

What team is this? Winning puck battles? Shooting?

Moore is sooo bad defensively and turns the puck over so much though. I still have some hope on Merrill, he's gotta stay healthy and get a good string of games in.

Tbh I don't really care if we win, I just want Parise to be sad.

What a pass. What a shot
