Sestito nearly had a goal against Nashville. Hit a post IIRC.
- Duran76

Sestito does have some skill and he's not a bad skater, I wouldn't be shocked to see him score a goal soon.

If he was playing against the Flyers he'd get one.

I like what Sestito brings to the ice. He seems to be staying disciplined so far.

Devils' lines in warm-ups: Parise-Elias-Kovalchuk; Sykora-Zubrus-Clarkson; Ponikarovsky-Josefson-Bernier; Boulton-Mills-Harrold.

Devils aren't even dressing Jansen. They are electing to play a defenseman on their 4th line in Peter Harrold instead. Tells you how useless these goons are.

Mills/Rinaldo

Shelley/Sestito vs Boulton. I expect Boulton to beat either.

and maybe Clarkson/Simmonds

this game might get ugly

Laviolette reacting to what the other team is doing, instead of using the same lineup that defeated a red hot Nashville team. Pathetic.

Put a losing player into the lineup because the Devils are dressing Boulton and Jansen. Comical.

As I pointed out the other day, the Flyers are under .500 in the 20 games (frank)face has played. Guy is a pathetic -6 in limited ice time. Of all the players in the NHL who average below 6 minutes of ice time, Shelley has the worst +/- of any player in the sport. Get this (frank)ing slug off this team already. I'm sick of looking at him.

Devils only dressing Boulton.

We're dressing 7 d-men, including Peter Harrold, who will play RW/D.

I doubt the Devils come with a win, our depth is depleted heavily. We have our top defenseman out in Larsson, and a very reliable one in Tallinder, and Zajac and Henrique aren't in. Our top centers aren't natural centers. If Zubrus wins one face-off the entire game, its an accomplishment for him.

I see no need to change the lineup but Lava must feel they need the size over the speed of HarryZ. Shelley should have no impact on the game anyway, I think Mike Ruff said it best.
- Buts16

He had an impact in the last game vs. the Devils. The impact of Boulton's fist crushing his skull.

Matt Read fulfills his childhood dream of centering Sestito and Shelley

19-28-68; 27-14-93; 36-10-17; 45-24-32

he deserves rookie of the year for that alone

You've got Elias. He flat out kills the Flyers.

Boulton isn't that good of a fighter.

Clarkson doesn't fight much either and Mills only fights if someone does stuff to instigate him or someone does something cheesy to another player.

Devils have been ravaged by injuries just as the Flyers have been. Deboer has done a nice job keeping the team competitive.

Shelley's due

RandyJMiller Randy Miller
Yes. His last goal at Wells Fargo Center was 4-11-10 ... when he played for NY Rangers

- _Zippy_

Boulton got the best of Shelley last time

Mills/Rinaldo have a history

Simmonds crushed Clarkson in a fight earlier this year

That's why I think they may all happen. There may be no fights but this game and these lineups seem very combustible to me

- PLindbergh31

Yeah, but the Flyers have more depth offensively. I am confident in the youngsters to come up and not be liabilities, but I highly doubt they will be huge factors positively for us.

The Flyers line-up with injuries is still very strong, the Devils haven't had their top three centerman all suit up for one game together. Josefson, Zajac, and Henrique have all never been in the line-up at the same time.

He had an impact in the last game vs. the Devils. The impact of Boulton's fist crushing his skull.

I'm not joking when i say this but I would be thrilled if Shelley scored, I'd be more thrilled if he played like he did against the Flyers when he was a Ranger.

Sam Gagner had more points in one period vs. the Blackhawks then Shelly has had in 78 games played as a Flyer. (frank)ING PATHETIC.

I guess, but at the same time, the Devils don't fight much to me. Only when we are down and need that spark.

and more then Gomez this year

Gomez last scored 364 days ago, seriously that is not possible you would think

Shelley's due

Almost as long as Gomez's last goal.

He's coming upon his one year anniversary.

Can't wait for Briere and JVR to get back so Sestito can be sent to Adirondack, and Shelley will remain on the roster.

That would be a problem if Shelley was on the team to produce points. But he's not, so there is zero issue there.

It's unreal what has happened to Gomez' career. Totally went from being a very good player to a nothing.

Zajac can't catch a break.

Henrique is a beauty, good young player
- Buts16

It's a torn Achilles, it's never going to be 100% again, he even said he will have to maintain it.

The Devils have been very cautious this year. If it was playoff time, I think you'd see Henrique in the line-up right now, he just has a groin strain.

Bernier has been a pleasant surprise and Ponikarovsky has played very well since we acquired him too, you'll see them take at least two jabs a piece when the puck is clearly covered.
