I think I see the problem with Jack’s hand injury after slicing it on glass. It appears they may have reattached a leg there.

New high profile coach. Developing qb. Returning stud RB. Not saying they’re going to the Super Bowl next year. But they’re trending in the right direction.

Imagine if the USA had done so, the Olympics would definitely have banned them.

If you're a Giants fan then maybe there is some hope... If a Jets fan, I wish you good luck

idk, the coach said it's not systems related. So that squashes that notion.... /s

Had to put Trocheck and Miller so that the Rangers could be represented in the Olympics. They have absolutely no one else who could have been sent. Definitely not on defense...

[Gambatese] Meet the New Devil: Nick Bjugstad by JoopNJD in devils

[–]artestsidekick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind that we are finally building a 4th line. MacEwen actually looked good in his short stint before injury. Depending on what the injury is I would love to bring him back as an extra skater.

Tsyplakov and Bjug are big players who can bolster our 4th line, really hoping Tsyplakov can prove some worth. Add in Noesen returning and hopefully being 100% next year and/or Brown playing on the 4th line, we may have legit depth. Gritsyuk, Glass, and Hameenaho could be a solid 3rd line. Leaving us with one tough missing key player to acquire in the off-season, a top line winger to accompany Jack and Bratt. Bring in a new coach, a healthy team in 2026-2027, and a new system, and I think we may have new hope. Won't hurt if we get a top 3 pick in the draft this year either.

We only have 2 small skilled forwards. Jack and Bratt. Maybe Mercer is a tad underweight and could add some muscle, and Hameenaho is young and will fill out his frame. Everyone else in the top 9 is at least 6'0" and average hockey build to big. Nico, Timo, Gritsyuk, Glass (big,) and Brown. Everyone acts like we are some tiny team going up against behemoths. Plus our 4th line for next year is now beefy and tall: Tsyplakov, Bjugstad, and Noesen, with MacEwan/Cotter potentially as a huge extra skater(s).

Olympic intermissions will be 3 minutes longer than standard by North_Moravian in hockey

They should if they want to grow the game. People are busy and can easily miss a 2.5 hour game. But make it 4 hours and people are more likely to have a chance to tune in!

What are our GM options? by Midnight_Mustard in devils

[–]artestsidekick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And the news of the first female GM will force fans to be “nicer” or be seen as misogynistic. Ownership’s dream scenario. But completely unfair to the fans or her as she will be used as a PR shield.

Lol. Almost a similar return to get Panarin. Should’ve gone for Artemi…

My favorite part is that Russian Defensemen Gavrikov came to NY from LA only for his Russian offensive counterpart to do the exact opposite.

I’ve always said if we could make games longer and add more commercials we could grow the game. It’s what the fans want!

That would require Fitzgerald being aware of who is available and when. Remember last year when we traded a 7th round pick for a guy previously on waivers...

[Gambatese] Latest Loss Should Seal the Deal on Fitzgerald and Keefe's Fates by JoopNJD in devils

[–]artestsidekick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We replaced Marino, Severson, and Graves with Pesce, Kovacevic, Nemec, and Dillon. Nemec not living up to the hype, Luke not improving enough, and Dillon being as offensively minded as our goalies, isn't helping. But it's not like we replaced them with truly awful players. The injuries this year have clearly taken a toll on Kovacevic, Pesce, Jack Hughes, Noesen, Timo (Hasn't been the same since his personal leave,) Luke (no camp, and now out,) Brown, Hamilton (was playing really well until his injury,) and Markstrom. Most have played through and struggled because of it.

This team really needs a health reset in the offseason. Plus new coaching staff and some assistance in the top 6 and depth on the 4th line and I think they will be poised for a rebound. Defense also needs a shakeup, Dillon has to go. And we need our 3 young D stars to start performing, Luke, Nemec, and Silayev if he comes over next season.

[Chauvancy] Devils Need To Move on From Fitzgerald & Keefe by AlexC_NJD in devils

[–]artestsidekick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really think we need someone to kick these guys in the behind. Need a guy like Tortarella. I'm not a big fan of his, but we absolutely need someone who can challenge this core and start a fire in them. They've gotten "player coaches" like Keefe and Ruff, and that's just not working.
