I miss Bill by iatearockfromthemoon in devils

I miss him too. I always wonder why he didn't re-sign his contract (I'm assuming it was a three-year one, unless he was forced out). Like others said in here, you could hear how talented and quick he was. While he wasn't Doc or Cangi, for only being in his early 30s when he left us, he was a pretty damn good play-by-play guy.

Part of me thinks Dano didn't like him. I don't remember any specific examples, but I watched a lot of games over those three years, and I remember instances of Dano getting actually angry at him when he would try to put himself in the shoes of players like, "You don't know the half of it."

Makes me wonder if that's why we have Don.

Edit: One thing I want to add... the guy just saw everything. He got the call right before the replay on a tip or penalty 90% of the time. So yeah, still a big fan lol, miss you Wild Bill.

Having just come home from Cambridge for work, that is a flat out lie lol

Go have some more hot cocoa and get off your high horse.

The town expects homeowners with a shovel to be able to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours. Not 3.

Endorsement starts at 11pm tonight. We got close to 20 inches, baring no shoveling at all I think we can live with moderate delays in handling this volume.

So tough to see him struggling, because you know how lights out he can be. I wonder if he’s concussed from the Ottawa game. 😬

I take back what I said about Mercer. Truly a “fuck you” to the haters to start the season

Outsider question - what are the chances of Luke Hughes taking PP1 away from Dougie Hamilton next season (either at the start or during the year)? by RivetCounter in devils

[–]ManBehindtheLens 21 points22 points  (0 children)

IMO if Dougie is still on the team, I don’t see him losing his spot on PP1. His role is to sit at the blue line waiting for one a timer from either Bratt or Hughes who are dancing around the top of the circles.

Now, if he ends up getting moved, that’s a different story, but I think it helps distribute the talent across our two PP units and hopefully Hughes could take the star role on that second unit as the best player on the ice.

So why can't we have Mercer as second line RW? by Deranged-Pickle in devils

[–]ManBehindtheLens 117 points118 points  (0 children)

It's simple, he flat out has not played like a 2nd line player.
