DeBoer said D'Agostini will get top nine minutes.

So he's likely playing alongside either Elias-Zajac or Carter-Gionta, and Bernier is probably on the fourth line for this game as well.

This is a must win tonight no poinys are easy but some are a must and these are a must

Tonight we shall be victorious!!

Gudbranson out (sick). Kulikov back in.

What do the Jets, the Capitals, and the Sabres have in common?

They were all teams lower than NJ in the standings, but they've all beaten the Devils routinely. Let's hope that changes.

not going to happen

we always give points to teams that aren't playing well

We give points to all teams because we lose every single game.

Well Clemmer is in net so I think we know the answer for tonight. Maybe with our defense improving hopefully he will too.

But I doubt that...

I agree

That will be an incredibly strong 4 lines rolled out during the playoffs, and even better than the 4 we had last year at that time, and look what that did to the 3 line ran teams of PHI and NYR, good things ahead IF we stay healthy!

I see Todd wrote Zubs is "close", Lou saying he doesn't see him playing in the coming week...I'm going to be at the game here in Tampa Friday night, I want Zubs!

4 deep overall as a whole group I think they are when they're all healthy, just my opinion though.

No way.

I like the balance, but not even close.

It's essentially replacing Parise and Josefson/Sykora with Loktionov and D'Agostini.

By no means are we better with that trade-off.

Sorry.....DOOOMED. DOOOOOOOOOOOMED! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

I understand your point. I guess what I was getting at was 1st vs 1st, 2nd vs 2nd and so on. I shouldn't of used the word overall there. I just see Zajac and a 30 goal scorer in Clarkson on the 3rd line in addition to Poni and I honestly can't think of a better 3rd line out there. Maybe I just see more in Lokti than most do as well. To each their own though!

Through 10 uneventful minutes the only guy that seems to have shown up ready is Lokti, shocker!

Looking at the shot totals, it looks like they'll only need a zamboni for the neutral zone...

Yep Henrique was given a gift by Kovy at the end on a 2 on 1 and I wanna say blew it going backhand, but I might have missed a breakup. Kovy still should be the one taking these shots, become far too unselfish for my taste.

Wow that was an incredibly boring period of hockey. Terrible passes and not shots.
