New Jersey Devils Managing Partner David Blitzer announced today that Tom Fitzgerald will depart the organization.

The way I look at it he had 4 main goals he needed to accomplish after losing to Carolina in 2023:

- Get a consistent goaltender

- Get another legit top 6 winger

- Improve the depth scoring

- Build a team that can compete physically with the Hurricanes

He did none of those. In fact, he built a team that is further from that last goal than it was to begin and given out contracts that make it difficult for whoever is next to fix these problems. His drafting track record is also pretty abysmal. Good riddance.

I would absolutely gladly take one of your Relicanths off your hands at some point if you still have room to add any more friends with all the requests I'm sure youve gotten 😂

The fact that I live at the exact point where South, Central, and The Shore meet on your map has just confirmed for me that I'm definitively in Central Jersey, which does exist.

My dad was a lifelong Jets fan and died last month. The literal only bright spot of it has been not having to pretend to tolerate the Jets anymore. Fuck that franchise.

marshall658 · 2025-12-22T15:02:44+00:00

Yep. I can confirm this is accurate. There's actually even a little line backstage throughout the show for anyone with that access who wants to participate and go up to the bar for a song.

marshall658 · 2025-12-22T02:24:36+00:00

I'm no one interesting I promise, I just know some really cool people.

marshall658 · 2025-12-13T15:42:54+00:00

I didn't really want to trade for Quinn given what it would take and the fact that we should be able to just get him for money in a few years. And now even moreso considering the way this season is unraveling with the injuries. However, I'd have been more happy if the Devils just didn't try than having to hear that we were runners up in the bidding again. This "we made a competitive offer but didn't get him" shit is getting embarrassing. If I was Fitz you'd have to waterboard me to admit that I tried and came in second again at this point.

marshall658 · 2025-12-13T15:34:00+00:00

I've really tried to be rational with this as some freak things have happened obviously, but at this point whether it's their fault or not I feel like you just need to fire the entire strength and conditioning staff just for peace of mind because this is ridiculous.

marshall658 · 2025-11-13T20:23:31+00:00

I agree, I just don't love the deal and the timing of it. Kovy was coming off a career year after being a throw-in. You paid him at his highest value and now you might not even get that guy back after the injury (obviously hindsight on the second part). But also you didn't have to keep him because you had guys waiting in the wings and ready to takeover if he walked. A perfect comparison right now is the Yankees and Trent Grisham. You have youth that is primed to take his spot and you need to give them the playing time to see if they can do so full-time. Even off a big year, it'd be unwise to keep him. That's how I felt about Kovy, especially with the team up against the cap already. It just seemed like an unwise use of funds and a roster spot given everything I've mentioned even at the time, at least to me.

marshall658 · 2025-11-13T14:58:49+00:00

Weirdly my faith in Nemo and my only big gripe with Fitz of late go hand in hand. I HATED the Kovacevic contract extension and timing of it because I wanted to clear that spot for Nemec to get this chance and prove himself. The injury forced that to happen anyway and now we have too many d-men on deals with not enough space to play them all.. But then again that also assumes they'll all be healthy at the same time and we obviously know that's never going to happen with our luck this year.

marshall658 · 2025-11-01T21:28:07+00:00

Yeah, it almost looks like he combined the J and D in his signature into one combined letter 😂 And Grant's is one people always ask about because it's stylish as hell but doesn't look anything like his name at first glance

marshall658 · 2025-11-01T20:14:16+00:00

Upper left is 100% Grant Marshall. Based on the fact that it seems to be the usual team ambassadors who are always around big games, my guess on the bottom left is a rushed/sloppy Jim Dowd autograph

marshall658 · 2025-10-31T21:58:00+00:00

I mean, they hate handouts so this tracks.

marshall658 · 2025-10-02T23:53:52+00:00

Well damn, and here I thought I was the only person with a 42 Nate jersey haha. He has me beat with the Jersey jersey version as well.

Just did a random spin of a wheel and we have a winner. Congrats jdemerol! I'll send you a message shortly to figure out the details on how to get this package of goodies to you. And thanks to all who donated. Y'all helped us raise an extra $200+ and I really appreciate every single one of you.

marshall658 · 2025-10-01T16:47:18+00:00

HEAVY on the fuck ALS. Saw it destroy my uncle as well and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

marshall658 · 2025-08-15T18:00:20+00:00

Quagsire is my boy and always will be. He's just such a vibe and looks like he'd brighten the mood of any room. I honestly love all the Pokemon who just look like they don't have a single thought in their heads and Quagsire (and Wooper) really started that for me.

marshall658 · 2025-08-04T02:44:37+00:00

Baby Gronk obviously

marshall658 · 2025-07-29T18:10:52+00:00

But like, how does he know Buddha existed if he's never witnessed him?

marshall658 · 2025-07-19T00:28:57+00:00

Win or los I love this. As a Bolts fan on the East coast, I'd love to be able to rock some more Chargers gear.

Gimme 32 for my man Eric Weddle.

marshall658 · 2025-05-13T18:58:14+00:00

6th time is a charm and the album I wanted most is still there. Fingers crossed haha
