No change in the forward makeup either.

  1. So best case scenario, of our first choice starting 6 D, we’re rolling with a banged up Pesce and Siegenthaler, and a just getting over an injury Hamilton.

  2. Wow.. we are a shell. I want to be positive but let’s say we miraculously beat out Carolina this series.. can we even get enough guys on the ice for round 2?

  3. This is getting ridiculous. That’s FIVE starting defenseman gone if that’s the case. Dumolin is gonna be playing 40 minutes if that’s the case.

  4. If one of them doesn’t play (and assuming Dillon or Hughes don’t return) then I assume Casey draws in. If both don’t play then who is the 6th defenseman? Colton White? Brian Dumoulin, get ready to play 35 minutes

  5. Man Pesce has been a warrior this whole season and post season. I feel like he’s been battling something for a while but knows he can’t really afford to take a night off with all the other injuries

  6. At least we got 1 win. I mean this season is over. But it’s important experience for the young guys. If we can just fucking stay healthy next year, we could really have a good season

  7. I mean, if they need me to suit up tonight I’m game. Played some D in high school.

  8. Fucking hell who’s even left if either one is hurt, let alone both? Keefe seems dead set on not playing Casey

  9. Would be a big loss for Pesce to be out, he’s played really good this series although there’s certain points were you can tell he’s really banged up.

    I know Casey would play in the event they’re both out but who’s next after him White or Vilen? I would have rather had Hatakka.

  10. If you own hockey gear and a devils jersey, please be at the rink by 7:00 tonight so you can suit up and play defense.

  11. Fuck it put MacDermid on Defense and tell him to just not let anyone in the crease

  12. The staff around this team needs a hard look. One or two injuries here and there aren’t too unordinary but when it happens this often, we need to figure out if there’s something in the org that’s preventing a large group of our own players from staying healthy

  13. Wow! If that is all, then so be it, but we are going down with the ship like the captain on the fuckin Titanic.

  14. Insane just how much of a beating the defense took leading up to and in this series. Like how often do you see almost an entire starting d corps get knocked out of the lineup at any point in an NHL season?

  15. i’m fine with the tinfoil hat medical staff takes if it means we can acknowledge this team had no chance because of their health rather than pointing fingers at individuals who at least got them here

  16. On an unrelated note, if you’re a devils fan in NC and can skate, Sheldon Keefe would like a word with you

  17. “The rest of the lineup will also be game-time decisions”

    “If Siegs and Pesce can’t go, we fucking quit” -Keefe probably 😂

  18. Unreal. If those 2 are out and they somehow win that would say a lot more about Carolina than the Devils lol

    Well boys and girls, it might be time to prepare to kiss the season goodbye. It started off with promise, and then Xmas came and went, and so did that team that looked so dominant.

    I hope I’m wrong, but if Pesce ¡AND! Siegenthaler are out, it might be time to wrap it up.

  20. Honestly if they’re 100%, let them rest. We’re way too injured to have a realistic shot on this series even with them on the ice. There’s no reason to force anyone out there and make an injury worse

  21. What is it with this team and injuries?! Are we unlucky? Do the boys need better conditioning? More milk? Why is it we always have a handful of players injured so often?

  22. Well Kermit has been known to play D as well as forward… we’re in dark times.
