Both teams will be playing the second leg of back-to-back games when the New Jersey Devils visit the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena at 7 p.m., Saturday.
It doesn't take long for the Devils to turn things around, about a season and they are back in the race.
I guess Mrazek is in goal and Daley is out. So Booth will join the rest and we will FINALLY roll 4 lines.
I'm not a fan of the 11-7 thing. But when you are not a good coach it's always a good excuse to mess up lines and pretend it's because we play 11 forwards. Yesterday i saw some strange "combinations" on the ice, players that probably never played together but got send on the ice randomly like Blashill does more often than you think.

Booth and Wilson don’t seem to serve a point on this team. Booth really had a better camp than any other skater? That’s being proven by 5 minutes per game

Getting ready to head to the game really excited. Was talking to my neighbor today and he was down there a couple days ago. Raved about the new "entertainment district." Got my Red Wings sweatshirt on and an old ticket stub from a game I went to with Pierre in my pocket for luck. Go Wings !!!!!!!!!!

I didn’t like the Hall goal...Mrazek was too far back in the net...Hall had all 4 corners available yet scores 5 hole.

I'm little discurage right now...
Some fought hard...Tats and Ny fought hard, they know the need of a good forechecking. Mantha floats again even though he scored. AA wasn't much better. The Z-AA experience certainly didnt work. Our loveable coach always starts a PP with the Z-NY-Tats line and it still doesn't produce anything
Our only hope is to reunite AA-Larks-Mantha and LEAVE THEM TOGETHER TILL WE ROT IN HELL !
The rest of the bunch can play with whomever they want. i'd play Z on the wing, maybe on the third line...
And we cant play the damn OT !! Their is always costly mistakes lurking to happen...
I'm that discurage

It is frustrating because we show intermittent flashes of being a good team. I thought we played a decent game, mistakes cost us. We're on our second longest losing streak of 4 (6 the longest) and we cannot win more than 2 in a row.
AA doesn't need to be centering slugs. He should be on the top line with Larkin and Mantha. That line is the only combo that has shown any form of dominance. Again, that line needs to be put back together and left alone to score goals, they will score a ton of goals. They should also be on PPU #1 instead of Z unit ping-ponging 200ft and back for 90 seconds leaving before changing and leaving only 30 seconds for players who can create .
American Thanksgiving point is pretty good indicator of what we are...an 82-85 point team and that will not change with this coach unless he is fired, a coach who has us at 10-14 start with 5 bonus parity points for losing in OT in part because of who he plays in OT.
