Hail Satan.
Win for Ellen Hughes.
IT’S HAPPENING. GIVE HIM THE CONN SMYTHE
All I’m asking is for him to singlehandedly save us from being swept.
I used to pray for times like this
*Erection restored*
First PP unit today was:
Luke – Dougie
Jack – Nico – Mercer
That works. Thaaaaaaat works
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Ah see this is the way.
Potentially very positive news. Good luck!
Canes fan here, excited to see the young guy get some game action. We don’t have any goons for him to worry about either. Hope y’all come away from the series healthy.
So at least we’ll have something fun to experience if god forbid the worst happens again
Kevin Bahl needs to OBLITERATE anyone who lays a finger on Lukey
I like the decision. Whole unit looks gassed so if nothing else adds some fresh legs. And anyone who can add offense is welcome at this point. They’re allowing five goals every game as is so who cares about the risk of a defensive mishap. Let’s see it.
I mean, need something to shake the team up. Hope it helps.
In b4 Luke Hughes game winner. Excited for the Devils future with all our upcoming prospects!
We desperately needed another guy on the back end that get get the puck the hell out of the zone and up the ice. The Canes pin you in if you can’t get it out.
Edit: Jack agrees https://twitter.com/amandacstein/status/1654933354163077127?s=46&t=a2hx5bYCd7fYM4RcgQ-5mg
Lindy has gotten yelled at for everything but done almost exactly what we’ve wanted all year. He basically is just less reactionary than us but he does what needs to be done.
Why would he announce such a thing so soon?
Annnnd just like that Prudential Center sells out
Wow I was wondering if this was going to happen!!! Love it. Is graves the person you’d swap though?

>”With Luke Hughes in for the @NJDevils, no better time to get Quinn Hughes a Mission: Impossible mask of Damon Severson so he can play in Game 3 with his bros.”

Can’t hurt
Worst comes to worst the kid gets playoff experience
It’s happening!
Devils HAVE to keep moving and draw penalties and they HAVE to score on those power plays.
IN LINDY WE TRUST
About time
I think we need to start questioning how much our future needs Dougie in it. With Luke and Nemec coming up… do we really NEED him? I would love to get a another thick boi forward like Timo in place of him. Siegs, marino, nemec, luke, severson, and bahl isn’t a bad situation….
Luke gonna be a game changer. Devils in 7
What happened to Graves?
In before the comments Sunday afternoon saying “Lukey looks lost out there, take him out before he gets hurt”
Who’s in net
Lindy is on reddit confirmed.
Hopefully a win will also make its debut this series.
