Marty Back Thursday NJD vs CAR GDT

[MCDevils]

I'm convinced that at least 4 losses in the last month would have been wins if Marty was healthy.

Buffalo SO
Flyers SO
Rangers (Can't play from behind against that team, and the SHG was a direct result of Moose not being able to play the puck)
Montreal because Marty owns them.

He's going to need to be lights out.

Also, as much as I love moose, this emphasize more than ever how important Marty playing the puck is to the defense. Moose obviously isn't in the same class of puckhandler, but at the same time, the d is built around the goalie making the first save and handling the puck.

He is a backup for a reason, I'll put it that way. Same with girls who are 30 and single, there's a reason for it. As nice as they are and as much as you like them, you know what's gonna happen.

Hallelujah!!!

Marty being back helps because I think he can cover up the defenses mistakes more often than Moose could. Bottom line is that the D has to be better in front of whoever is in net. No more mindless line changes, take the pass on the 2 on 1s, etc. Hopefully his return injects some life into these guys.

MARTY!!!!!!

Holy shit lol..I think if Moose was in we'd be down 2-0 right now.

 

[MCDevils]

The Messiah.

Anybody glad to see Marty back?

Jeez, keeping us in the game AND getting credit for a goal. Frustrating the Canes early charge could pay dividends later in this game. You ain't playing Moose fellas. Glad Lokti is back too.

We look slow though and our Dmen have routinely been out of position so far in this game.

Hat Trick for Marty...lets go!

D is getting beat to every puck, a lot of guys being caught flat footed. Need to get some sustained attacks going. Draw a penalty, change the momentum.

Pessonen looked good on that 1 on 1

Like the way he is playing tonight

Agreed, hope we see more of that.

Swedish Hammer has a great shot, I wish he would let it rip more often instead of constantly sending floaters and hoping for a deflection.

I keep seeing the commercials for Tim Hortons franchises now in our area, Who's in?

Seriously though, our offense needs to get something going. Just to boost their confidence, get the ball rolling.

 

[irishwhip03]

HUGE goal..I think DeBoer struck gold with this top line!

TRUUUUTTTHHH

Nice follow up by Harrold!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Harrold has been impressive offensively. I hated the guy in the playoffs last year but he's been a nice surprise since coming into the lineup.

 

[irishwhip03]

Harrold playing like he doesnt want to be inactive ever again..its a small sample size but the kid plays with a chip on his shoulder.

Making Tallinder/Greene/Zids expendable.

That's how I thought it would be with so many d men. Play like u don't want to come out
