Will they get into game action or are they just extras.....I'd like to see Pihlman play against WSH....

Lineup for the Washington game shouls be....


Elias-Gomez-Pihlman
Friesen-Madden-Gionta
Pandolfo-Darby-Marshall
Brylin-Rupp-Skrlac

Niedermeyer-Stevens
Hale-White
Martin-Raffi

Ahonen
Broduer

I think Ari should play to see what he has.....And since Corey is injured why not see what Ari has

I too would love to see Philman play, but he just might be a precaution in case Larinov can't go.

Why would you break up Madden and Pandolfo? I think I'd rather see Darby as the 4th line center and Rupp play 2nd. Hell just for this game I'd rather see Rupp play 1st line C just because I don't want to see Elias with Gomez again. So it looks like this:

Elias-Rupp-Brylin
Friesen-Gomez-Berglund
Pandolfo-Madden-Gionta
Philman-Darby-Skrlac

wouldn't darby be the one who would replace larionov?

anyways---skrlac was returned to albany today according to theahl.com:
Albany 12/31/03 ADD Skrlac, Rob (LW) loaned from New Jersey (NHL)

I think what they could do is have the centers be Madden, Raz, Gomez and Rupp and have Philman play one of the vacant forward spots. At least that's what I would do just so I can see him play.

Forget my earlier post I think these lines would be better:

Elias-Rupp-Friesen
Philman-Gomez-Brylin
Pandolfo-Madden-Gionta
Berglund-Darby-Marshal

Thanks Ratsgirl

you know now I think of it I'm surprised that didn't call up Suglobov, he's been solid all year while Philman as just got hot. Still it's good to see one of the top prospects coming up.

Yeah so was I. I was almost half disappointed that he didn't get the call but seeing Philman isn't so bad.

I have waited for Pihlman to get called by the Devils. A great start for a new year 2004. It's intresting to see how he plays...IF he plays. Happy new year to all.

Pihlman NJ 0+0 0 0 - 0 6.11

How did Pihlman perform? I can see that he got a bit over six minutes of ice time, but that's all here in Finland. I suppose he played in the fourth line...

BTW: The correct spellling is Pihlman.

He didn't get a chance to kill any penalties or log some minutes on the PP tonight. He blended in ok and didn't really do anything that stood out in my mind. No real big hits or pesky play per se. Pretty quiet night for him all in all. He was out there on the fourth line with Darby and Rupp, but if you blinked you'd miss their shift. They saw a bit less action then they likely would have if the Devils hadn't had so many power plays in this one.
