Todd Cordell: Devils hoping for a Tallinder, Josefson return + other notes

ZOMFGFIST


I predicted the game 1 loss, and then a 3-2 game 2 win. I have not yet decided on a game 3 prediction.





more to come....

i agree with TC...devils win tomorrow 3-1...rangers look tired and understandably so

Its a mid day game. We are doomed.

Well isn't that interesting. And we are actually doomed when was the last day game we won?

Good question? Stupid timing, people do stuff and its the long weekend at least have it in the evening....

I have to say, would you want Tallinder to come back?

I'm skeptical on putting him in unless an injury or something occurs. The coaching staff seems pretty set on a lefty-righty combo for pinching purposes, I don't know if they would want to put a lefty-lefty pairing, assuming Tallinder replaces Larsson/Harrold. The only other way is Tallinder replacing Volchenkov, Salvador, or Greene, and the only one on there that he might is Volchenkov.

Same goes for Josefson, don't know if I want to put him in over Carter, Gionta, or Bernier, although Bernier's been taking some pretty poopty penalties.

At least Bernier's penalties are because he is being aggressive. Not holding or hooking lazy penalties.

Tallinder has been out for too long. I would like to get JJ back for faceoff purposes, but I don't know who I would choose to sit. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

He has some stupid ones, like the one after the third goal, where he just comes up high on a hit. It's being aggressive, but he gets the penalty for doing something stupid. If he didn't come up high, he could've gotten away with that penalty.

I guess it's a great problem to have. Gionta has now played more playoff games than regular season games.

I wouldnt touch the 4th line. Love the way they are playing. Unless we rest Sykora a game or something, i dont expect JJ in at all. Or someone gets injured

That's the thing. Carter-Gionta-Bernier are playing just as good as Carter-Josefson-Bernier, if not better, and Josefson hasn't played for a while. The only thing that might help, is JJ will be fresh and should be flying out there.

Yeah like work! Now i cant get drunk and watch the game.

Gionta and the whole 4th line have been great even when they don't score. Loving what were getting from those guys.

you don't fix what isn't broken. no way JJ or Tallinder see any ice time unless there is an injury/suspension

Krieder's also played 50 college games, maybe 60, but those games are equivalent to probably 30, maybe 40, regular season games. He is rested and his legs are fresh when everyone else's aren't.
