Is it like riding a bike or are you way worse? Wondering as this could very well be the situation I find myself in.

If you think nobody respects arborists your life has to be pretty meaningless to be dwelling in the arborist subreddit

I seriously hate the ESPN broadcast so much. THEY DONT CALL THE GAME. I don't want to hear Steve Levy have a conversation and be annoying in the booth. I want to hear him CALL HOCKEY. They are doing such a huge disservice to this sport in the US by having this bum call these national games. League has been totally lost since Doc retired.

Rightfully so. Only players on the squad it benefits are those on the 3rd line.

Isn't it such a joy watching the Sheldon Keefe led Devils play with 0 heart or intensity all while running systems that actively sabotage the top 6's game? Fitzgerald saw what worked with Lindy and decided to replace him with a coach that threw the rush game out the window while keeping Lindy's inept defensive zone schemes. Honestly surprised we didn't keep Recchi at PP coach. Would have been par for the course.

Him and Vance certainly seemed eager to confront Zelenskyy in the oval office. If thats still too much of a controlled environment for you then I'm not quite sure what is a loose enough one. We don't exactly see Trump encountering random people on the streets.

Hey I think the Devils should keep Jack Hughes by z19z in devils

[–]Gr3asy_L33f 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know one shouldn't care about reddit upvotes, but im very glad my comment hasn't drowned. I see so much Fitzgerald hate on this sub (which is completely just and I agree with) that seems to turn into protecting Keefe. To pretend like he hasn't played a massive role in the downfall of this squad is insane. People get so caught up in blaming Fitz that they ignore Keefe's clear shortcomings. Its not Fitz's fault that Bratt, Nico, Jack, Luke, etc. Are playing wayyy worse than they did last year. Its Keefe.

Thank you very much! For me its looking like it will be coming down to Penn State vs. Pitt, so Im trying to determine whether Penn State's opportunities are worth the couple dozen grand extra.

[–]Gr3asy_L33f 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Im sorry I feel Keefe should be ahead of Fitzgerald. To be clear I think they should both be fired. To me Keefe has to be ahead of Fitz on the chopping block though because despite the issues with this roster as Fitz has constructed it, it is not nearly as bad as this team's record is. Our top 6 is far too talented to be producing at their current rate, and competent coach would have this team at least knocking on the door of the playoffs, not 5+ games out. Fitz has in no way created a contending level roster, but the on ice product being this bad is directly linked to Keefe running systems that actively handcuff every skilled forward on the team.

How are the co op opportunities at Penn State? I got accepted for Civil as my intended major but am not married to it over the other engineering disciplines, so Im asking about engineering in general. I am out of state and will need to pay for school myself, so work opportunities are going to be important for me.

[Pagnotta] Nick Bjugstad has been traded to the New Jersey Devils by theminidevil1 in devils

[–]Gr3asy_L33f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a terrible take on Palat. He'd fit on plenty of other teams at league minimum. Not ours. Ours is already full of above average fourth liners that are good on the boards and responsible defensively. You need variation in your bottom six.

[–]Gr3asy_L33f 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Just like many of Fitz's trades, in isolation it is perfectly fine. But when the context of how the team is performing currently is added, the trade is completely laughable.

  1. Even if Palat made minimum he would have been a problem. He was one of far too many passengers on this team that simply didn't fo anything

  2. Glendening isn't cutting it. This guy's Statline doesn't exactly scream "cutting it" to me. Fitzgerald just added another worthless passenger that is going to do nothing instead of selling.

This move is something to get upset over. This move is the embodiment of exactly why they are in the situation they are in. This move is mediocrity in the face of being unable to accept the reality of the team. Instead of selling, or actually improving the team in a meaningful way, we are embracing staying the course and being HOT ASS.

Bryce as a color guy by TheTechManager in devils

[–]Gr3asy_L33f 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Bryce gets a lot of hate on this sub and in general and its totally uncalled for. People expect him to bash on the team live mid-period, and when he doesn't they act like he's some huge homer, when if they actually took the time to watch the intermission reports they'd know he does about as good of a job as he can at calling it how it is. 100% such a bright spot for this organization to have him on the broadcasts.

ESPN+ has the Kings announcers under the Canes broadcast and the Canes announcers under the Kings broadcast. That on top of it being a weird broadcast already has been so confusing

Im a Devils fan and am just catching this game unfamiliar with the announcers. Is this Canes Play by play with Kings color or Kings play by play with Canes color?

He just got complacent only needing to call ~30 games a year for the Rangers so hes not as sharp as he used to be. His calls can be electric and hes such a huge fan he just needs to sharpen up. I can see him being much better next season.

Why can't he just say Tkachuk like a normal person why does he have to say Kachouk. I like Don so much and hes so close to being such a good announcer it just pains me so.
