[Devils-list] Barry Melrose's Intermission Thoughts

[Pete Keiper-White]

Thank God. I thought I had entered into some bizzaro email world. Of
course we should play Nieds and Fidget if they are healthy. Three games is
A LOT different than three months (which is what the Flyers went through
with no Lindros). Also, iirc, Lindros had a great game 6. Scored a goal
that counted and one that went in right after the second period ended. 

Everyone is NOT playing well. Colin White is still crapping and Pittsburgh
will come out guns-a-blazing tomorrow and Nieds and Brylin's speed will be
important. Look at the first period before Pittsburgh ran out of gas.
They used their speed very well. For everything that Colin White and
Ken Sutton are, fast they are not. If we had spent a long time
not having Nieds and Fidget on the team I could see it. But three games?
Come on.
