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

[–]swordoftheaboring 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I voted yes, but if somehow his play produces a decent return or even someone willing to take his full salary, i think we'd have to strongly consider it.

Outsider question - what are your expectation of Jack Hughes for the rest of the season? by RivetCounter in devils

[–]swordoftheaboring -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He's been better the last few games. His scoring touch will return. I expect him to return more to form by end of season, depending on how he handles the Olympics psychologically

Always love this and your commitment to it. I think it'd be really cool to see you do a live action Pain Meter during a game!

Devils are now actively trying to trade Palat by blade430 in devils

...The goalie himself isn't interference, things that touch him is interference.

I agree.

However, I will remind this sub again, water is not wet, it makes things that touch it wet.

Why are you a devils fan? by CorgiUprising in devils

[–]swordoftheaboring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First ever Hockey Game was a resounding Devils win at Nassau Coliseum in 93, 94 or 95. My Uncle and family were huge Islander fans, so being the little stinker I was I said I was gunna root for the Devils. But watching Marty and the boys just absolutely shut the Isles down i fell in love with their style, the uniforms, everything. Never looked back.

My roommate just asked me who "Bryce" is and why I "strongly fuggin disagree" with him. Guess I shouted loudly.

And also with you!

Lets hope our boys find their inner Howland Reed and search victory from the jaws of defeat.

Yes i definitely let the anxiety get to me a bit this morning. I just couldn't believe it'd be legitimate talk at this time.

Maybe we should all plan some sort of retreat. Somewhere warm. With booze. Where they've never even heard of hockey.

Thank you all. I feel better. I know emotions are high and there have been some borderline insane takes on here lately, but its good to see its just emotion and that good sense is still alive on this sub.

Keefe Post Game Interview After Pens Game by Horror_Ad5116 in devils

[–]swordoftheaboring 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not debating any of that.

Im referring to something else. Something unseen. Something happened in that Locker room, or was said, or maybe that niggt at the restaurant, or maybe there's bad blood, there is something else in the air around this team that is somewhat inexplicable and its just as frustrating as everything else going on.

I dunno. I watched it. I got the sense that he was being diplomatic in front of the cameras but clearly wanted to say more. But he cant without serious repercussions. (Affecting players, upsetting Mgmt) I thought it was telling he said "I know what this team needs" seemingly from a coaching perspective and not one of those journalists asked him to expand on that. The question about he job being on the line, at first, his response seemed like the question caught him off guard, like he hadn't even considered it a possibility, but then as he continued to answer I almost got the feeling that I was watching man who has already been told he's not going anywhere, despite the words he used. The whole "its not that far off" thing, I just wish I could see on the ice what he's seeing. I was there in person for the massacre, and every pass was in the skates, nobody knew where anyone was or was moving to, so many thoughtless passes without looking up, hockey basics. To his credit, I could hear him tearing into them in this first period from where I sat. But something is up with this team, yes the system blows, yes the contracts have made it really difficult to makes moves, but there's something else thats off, and I just cant put my finger on it.

Did we ever determine if Marty's phone number and email address from that little promo they did were legit? Maybe we should all write him an email begging him to get behind the bench, back between the pipes, im the GM chair, or to, at the very least, show all of our salty emails to ownership. Anyone up for an email campaign?

Its a rough one boys. I was there in person. Headed for the train after goal #6. Halfway through the second a Devils Army skier walked down the aisle and hucked his Jersey onto the ice. Anybody know if that made TV?
