I realize it's not entirely fair to say this, but with both Grabner and Mueller being scratched, that's a lot of assets the Devils moved to get guys that can't crack the playoff roster. Just sayin....
I like this lineup much better, but why is Lovejoy still in after that last game. the poor guy struggled mightily. hate to dog the guy because he is a down to earth guy, but he is not right for this team right now. Glad to see cory back in the net. Game 3 All Devils...

Obviously would have been nice to take one down in Tampa, but man it will feel good to see Prudential Center filled for a playoff game again. Gotta push back and take both games!

Mueller has been on and off. I think there is still a chance that trade ends up being worth it, but right now it doesn't look great.
The Grabner trade simply looks bad now, especially with it being the Rangers who benefit from it. I didn't hate the trade at the time and it's unfortunate Grabner has been such a non-factor in NJ so far.
Overall Shero has done very well in trades so I don't think it's worth getting super upset about a couple of smaller ones that haven't panned out.
Plenty of blame to go around for the first two losses.
I don't care who they put in just win the f**king tonight and go from there.
We don't win this one and it's all over but the crying.

It is pretty frustrating. At lease Mojo and schneids are back in the lineup tonight. I would love to see grabner on the 4th line with Bratt as well. We need more speed. It is odd that despite Lovejoy's terrible performance last game, paired with 6 minutes toi less that mueller, that mueller is the healthy scratch. Hynes has been a frustrating coach these playoffs, but then again, i wasn't expecting to beat tampa.....

Totally agree. Keeping Lovejoy over Mueller makes little sense.
Greene is a -3 and Lovejoy is -1.....just saying. Couple that with the fact that Greene was most likely on the ice for a couple of the PP goals against, it makes the Lovejoy vs Mueller argument almost irrelevant.
Stafford has been more ineffective than anyone on the roster..I know Hynes wants to shake things up but...Stafford? - Devils4ever
Yeah, totally agree. I'd call this a lateral move at best. Taking out Gibbons and Grabner, you lose two of your fastest skaters. Seems like we're losing our speed advantage and, if that's true, what edge do we have?

The only edge we have is on the bottom of these guys' skates. We don't have any edge whatsoever lol. That game 2 3rd period push is impossible to sustain for an entire game.
but who cares. yay Devils.
