I don't think AMac needs any more preseason. He is what he is.

Gudas probably needs to knock some rust off.

I agree. Gudas hadn't played an NHL game since the end of December before this preseason, and the rust has been evident.

macdonald is garbage

Hopefully Gudas knocks the rust off and looks better tonight. I don't think there's any doubt (or surprise) we have 4 defensemen who could be scratched on any given night given the whims and/or gut feelings of the coaching staff.

So, as far as I know, MacDonald isn't injured. But he isn't in for the final preseason game? The game where you want to ice your NHL ready roster or close to it? Huh. Either they think the best lineup is without him or they think he's done so well this preseason that they just want to give someone else a look......it has to be the latter, right?

Dont give a rats ass at this point what the scouting report says. Manning has outplayed a few on this d-core and deserves a shot.

On a rebuilding team that should be a given.

Hasktol says vinny to play right wing. Down to Laughton verse Gagner for 3c. Umberger playing on top line tonight.

Something even scarier vinny practiced on the PK today insted if 2nd unit pp

Blackhawks waive Bickell

say wha?

Gotta disagree with that. I think the Flyers are significantly closer to the top 5 teams in the division than they are to the Devils or Canes. I see the Devils finishing with 78-83 points and the Canes, who are my pick for dead last in the NHL, with 67-72.

Toss up between the Devils and flyers as to who is better. Devils have some solid young dmen in Severson and larsson as well as superior goaltending. Flyers have them on offense and pp

You have to wonder if Hextall and Hakstol are just (frank)ing with Vinny at this point.

"So, Vin, try these goalie pads on....."

Devils are atrocious even with Schneider in tow. Mason is also no slouch either and the overall better balance resides in Philly as compared to the Devils.

Not even close actually. Have you taken a peak at the Devils potential opening night lineup?

Love this pic Feanor, will have to keep for tough parts of the season

.. Works for everything I love it.

Vinny playing PK this week ?

Anybody see the pictures of warm ups ? There are roughly 12 people present for the game

NHL network isn't carrying this?

Jamie Benn but that is clearly not happening. No Schenns-for-Benns trades unless Hexy hypnotizes and pulls off a Jedi mind trick on Jim Nill. Klingberg also isn't about to get moved, and Seguin certainly isn't either.

In a more realistic realm, I like Cody Eakin, Brett Ritchie (currently out for several months) and Patrik Nemeth.

Hey! You cant prove Hextall didnt train under the Jedi!!!

Yup fully aware.

Even the NHL doesn't want to go to Devils games.

So Hex how do you feel about the team's playoff chances now?

Any chance of a decent pick coming back for Luke Hex?

How'd AMac look out there Hex?

Your job easy Hex?
