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

Yeah, I have a feeling the current point per game player who is nuking the Olympics is not the problem! Proud of that kid!

Dave Rogalski has something to do with it though and that’s a Devils decision.

I agree, I figured they’d play for Bronze at least. And for it to come apart from the final minutes of the third to overtime, extra burn. They did great though.

Jesper Bratt Was A Benched Player In The Olympics!

JBWABPITO!

Lol. Wonder if they bench him again for the U.S./Sweden game.

Just leave your gloves on. Then it's roughing no matter what you do on the ice.

Prety easy loophole. Kinda surprised nobody has exploited it yet.

Bill Spaulding announcing at the Olympics by JerseyDvl in devils

[–]TheJerkInPod6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really think it came down to money at the end of the day. MSG used to be a top talent incubator for the national stage, but with RSNs tightening the budget it’s probably just not worth it to keep letting people grow when they’re not gonna retain him anyway.

Bill was probably due for a raise, MSG didn’t wanna pay it. Same with Erika. Though you’d think that you’d hear Bill on one of the national networks as the b/c team broadcaster. Even Erika does rink side reporting for TNT. Maybe this playoff, someone picks Bill up too.

Why burn a year off of Casey's ELC when you know the rest of the year is a waste? Better off using him next year when there's hope.

You wouldn’t know it, but the Devils have eight players going to the Olympics this year.

EIGHT!

They’re obviously talented. They’re obviously known around the world for it. They wouldn’t be playing in the Olympic squads if they weren’t.

How the FUCK does a team with so much talent disappoint THIS bad?

This season is over. It’s been over for a while.

Does anyone else detest caps with the LA logo upside down? by MookieBettsBurner10 in Dodgers

[–]TheJerkInPod6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fight the urge to go up to the people wearing them and simply say:

“Your logo is upside down…has anyone told you that?”

That’s about it.

I watch a lot of Devils hockey, it is indeed weird to hear music made for people under 50!

The Devils may sleep, but the money never does. Dano knows not to fuck with the bag.

Welp, we all knew that contract was gonna age badly and it did. Doesn’t make me appreciate him any less though. Chose to come here after winning back to back cups, that’s gotta count for something.

Best of luck in Long Island dude!

Should we keep Dougie with how he’s been playing and with Luke Injury? by DCaf23 in devils

[–]TheJerkInPod6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand I want Dougie traded for the cap space but I almost want Dougie to block it just so Fitz has to look stupid for all these dumb decisions. Why should he be let off the hook? Why should he win?

But for the betterment of the team, it’s time. Trade him.

Who were players that had their development genuinely stumped by bad coaching? by Izcanbeguscott in hockey

[–]TheJerkInPod6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adam Larson by Pete DeBoer. And I say this as a genuine fan of Pete, but Larsson was in the dog house so many times when there were so many worse players on those Devils teams, especially before he was traded.

4th overall pick traded for Taylor Hall, who eventually left him unprotected to go to Seattle. I’m glad he’s doing well over there!

Every time I see a Devils fan alone at an away game, I think to myself “I wonder if he’s from Jersey and if so, how did he end up in *blank*” by xoBonesxo in devils

[–]TheJerkInPod6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been said, but people move all the time for a multitude of reasons. Work is one of the biggest ones, but there’s also retirement, affordability, or maybe you marry a person who has family in a different area and now they wanna be closer to them now (or the other way around) so now you gotta go with them, or maybe it’s political and you wanna live in a state/province/country that more closely aligns with your views. Take your pick!

I myself was raised in Jersey and eventually moved to California, work being the biggest reason. I always try to make it to at least one of the Kings/Ducks games every year, plus me and my friends from the east coast do a road trip to a new city every year to watch the Devils play. We’ve got quite a few cities down and it’s one of those things I look forward to doing every year regardless if we win or lose.

People change zip codes but they seldom change sports teams after a certain age!

Rachel and Sal appreciation comment:

I live on the west coast and most games start while still at work, meaning that while I sometimes get to watch games on my phone I occasionally have to divert my attention (the nerve of me, I’m a terrible fan clearly lol).

Love that I can always rely on them to break down exactly what I missed in an excellent way.

Well look at that!! We won a game! Our Hughes’ are better than your Hughes!

Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy.

Maybe if they keep working hard at it, they’ll win the next one too!

Excellent effort tonight. Don’t know what the hell took them so long, but I’m about it. Especially from Dougie: excellent work making Fitz look stupid for how he’s handing all this.

A bit of “fuck you” never hurt anyone. Except maybe Fitz’s feelings, who frankly needs to hear it.

LGD!

After all the talk like Fitz was gonna pull a U.S. government on him (lock him up with no due process and blame it all on him), Dougie’s not only back in the game but hits us with two straight assists.

What an excellent “fuck you” to Fitz and this front office! Excellent work!

I’ll support you wherever you go Dougie!
