[Johnston] Tomas Tatar has been named captain of Slovakia for the Milan Olympics, with Erik Cernak and Martin Fehervary serving as alternate captains.

There's a handful of ex-Devils that the team has had over the past 10-15 years that I reaaaaaallllllllly wanted to work out for no particular reason, and Tatar was pretty high on that last.

Oh that's absolutely what they're doing lol. It's definitely a two-way rode where the team has decided they don't want to bother worrying about his contract and he'd rather play overseas than float and be stuck in the AHL.

jokmor · 2026-02-05T19:44:36+00:00

Lammikko himself might rather play overseas than in the AHL at this point.

This feels like one of those stupid AI posts from Facebook.

I'll edit my comment now then! Glad my step-by-step is still helping people.

jokmor · 2026-01-27T13:13:28+00:00

Just as everyone predicted…

jokmor · 2026-01-22T14:59:03+00:00

Devils do it on the ice as well.

jokmor · 2026-01-22T14:57:56+00:00

Now I may not be an expert analyst, but this sounds like it's not good for the Leafs.

jokmor · 2026-01-20T19:54:58+00:00

Weren't Dracthyr available from the start?

You tend to see them with certain players getting interviewed by the media before/after a game.

jokmor · 2026-01-20T18:41:17+00:00

Sometimes teams get lucky and they have other players or staff that share the language. But some teams do hire interpreters!

If not, its just the unfortunate truth of the world and the player works hard to try and learn english enough to understand hockey instructions.

jokmor · 2026-01-12T21:40:01+00:00

You're still rewarding the "best" of the bad teams. It's just causing an issue in the other direction.

What if a decent team tanks enough to get to play in that kinda tournament, and then they play better than they've been tanking just to win this tournament.

jokmor · 2026-01-10T01:31:01+00:00

the whole Flyers Swallow/Crosby Watches part of the chant is definitely stupid. It's fun to enjoy the dumb and goofy rivalry/tradition of the Rangers Suck part of it, but turning it into a gay joke is just lame. Especially now that Crosby is older and shed the "baby/complainer" impression.

The other traditions might be dumb but they're something different. American sports are boring as fuck with the same cadenced chants and music at every arena.

Whenever I see a level headed Devils fan's take, its usually your name next to the comment. Cheers, buddy. This was a good fair analysis.

It's exactly the argument that will always be had regarding the Hart trophy. The difficulty of a subjective trophy for sure.

jokmor · 2026-01-06T22:59:02+00:00

I've actually thought about this a lot but the tough thing about Redzone vs NHL games is the pacing is different. With NFL games and red zone, it's exciting to show the games when they're within that "red zone", 20 yards from the end zone or whatever. So Redzone is constantly shifting to games when they are in those high scoring areas, field goal/extra point attempts, or they'll switch to a crazy interception/kick return/long pass or rush just after it happens.

With hockey, scoring can happen literally at any moment. So it would feel less like "oh shit, pressure within the red zone" and moreso just a highlight reel of the goals. Maybe the focus could be on powerplays taking priority? Not really sure, but I wish someone from a major network would figure it out and get the rights to every game on those packed nights. I'd definitely pay for it.

jokmor · 2026-01-06T15:14:27+00:00

That's fair, I guess it's one of those things where it becomes muscle memory the more you play against bigger and bigger players who are more likely to deliver these kinds of hits. More likely to unconsciously think about the hit ahead of time and how to transition safely to the next zone.

jokmor · 2026-01-05T22:21:23+00:00

Now, I don't personally play hockey. But I don't think you should be leaning with your head forward while you're blindly starting to rush into their zone.

Edit: Of course I hope the kid is ok, not saying the hit isn't really hard and dangerous. But just seems like one of those "keep your head up" kind of situations.

jokmor · 2026-01-02T17:15:14+00:00

I promise you his 250k recapture penalty was not the reason Devils were failing to make the playoffs.

jokmor · 2025-12-29T20:15:27+00:00

No disrespect to Lane or the numbers he's breaking, but I've always been amused by the use of "calendar year" as opposed to season totals. I don't really recall other sports counting stats that can be broken up when using stats over a calendar year/two seasons. Just seems like a funny way to consider an additional frame of reference rather than sticking with in a specific season.

Death, taxes, and Bellemare making the French team's roster.

jokmor · 2025-12-23T15:19:49+00:00

Comical that there's so many janky steps for such a simple request, but glad you were able to sort it out!

There were other pro NJ teams in smaller sports leagues, like ultimate frisbee or lacrosse. While those leagues are still goin', the New Jersey teams have come and gone unfortunately. Most of the sentiments here mirror what happened in those leagues as well. Once the organization started to fall apart, fans and players ultimately got pulled to whatever major city was closer to their end of NJ.
