No practice today, Devils are taking the day to travel to Long Island

Wish them well on the long and arduous journey
They need a whole day to travel to the UBS arena? 💀
It makes sense theyd need a day to travel to anyone who’s had to drive on Long Island for any amount of time.
Ive lived in several states. Long Island is the only place Ive lived where the tourists improved the quality of driving. The locals are terrifying on the road. Seriously, Ive lived in NJ, CT, and MA and still think LI has the worst driving Ive ever seen.
Half a day to get there with traffic, half a day to recover from the emotional trauma and stress of getting there
Godspeed soldiers on your long and treacherous 39-mile journey
Are they walking?
I’m surprised they even travel to LI early. Why not sleep at home tonight and take the bus there tomorrow when it’s so close?
Ah yes, the long and treacherous two hour journey. I wish them well
As long as we win on the island , and this isn’t another loss with post game presser about not being able to practice much as of late. I would have figured with all the guys back , who have been out , practice would be mandatory to get them back into sync with linemates. But I’m just a guy in red and black gear hoping for a win.
There’s a storm coming through tonight. They’re just getting ahead of it in case it’s a bad storm and really messes up the roads. I believe a penguins game got delayed because of travel issues this season.
The Lincoln Tunnel and George Washington Bridge do get congested.
On a more serious note, the early travel might be in response to the possible snowstorm early on Tuesday. That snowstorm may alter my plans; I’d like to attend the game at UBS Arena but may decide to cancel if the weather is bad. (I’ll be staying in the Lehigh Valley and probably take Martz Trailways between Delaware Water Gap and PABT, so my concern is the roughly 25 mile drive to/from Delaware Water Gap and the bus travel on Interstate 80.)
Godspeed.
I used to know “people” from Long Island.
That damn flight from EWR to LGA…
Eh, this is a nothingburger. They had some shitty travel back from Utah and are probably gonna be stuck in hellish traffic for a while. Just let em chill a bit
Is that like a 15 min plane ride or a 2 hour drive?
Can confirm. Takes a day to get from Jersey to Long Island. If you’re lucky.
What, are they walking?
To those saying “it makes sense for them to travel a day early”
No, no it doesn’t. If it did, they would do it everything they play the islanders, which they don’t.
I would assume this gives them more of a team building opportunity. The team is basically back at full strength. Get to LI, have a nice dinner together as the full group and reset.
I know holiday traffic is bad but that sounds like overkill
travel day to long island? it’s an hour away
Traffic is that bad now, huh?
You need to anticipate those path and subway delays. Smart planning!!!
